in National Magazine's April Issue Within Annual 'Best New Fitness Gear'
Feature

SAN FRANCISCO, March 18 /PRNewswire/ --Men's Health, the best-selling men's
magazine on newsstands, has distinguished Fitness Anywhere's groundbreaking
TRX Suspension Trainer as the year's "Best Total Body Tool" in its April
issue, arriving at newsstands today. The significant endorsement reinforces
the rapid acceptance for the product over the past two years, now being
utilized by a variety of health clubs, elite trainers and athletes, and
professional and collegiate sports teams throughout the country. The Men's
Health distinction also comes on the heels of national exposure the product
received in February through NBC's popular reality TV show, The Biggest Loser,
where contestants compete to shed unwanted pounds, utilizing the most
innovative training measures available. 

"We enjoyed consistent success and growth in 2008, and with incredible
accolades, from a magazine as highly respected as Men's Health, we are
positioned to raise the bar for TRX Suspension Training even higher in 2009,"
said former elite Navy SEAL, Randy Hetrick, President of Fitness Anywhere and
creator of the TRX Suspension Trainer. "Suspension Training is an unparalleled
functional training modality for training the entire body in a manner that's
more comprehensive and beneficial than conventional resistance training
methods, and we're proud to be at the forefront of this growing movement in
fitness."  

The Men's Health feature highlights the Best New Fitness Gear in several
unique categories, with a full page devoted to the TRX and highlights the
product's ability to "create resistance from two sources always at your
disposal: body weight and gravity" as well as for its portable nature that
allows for training virtually anywhere. The feature also sites renowned
performance trainer Todd Durkin, who explains how "multi-planar training" with
the TRX forces muscles to work in groups, which is critical to alleviating the
common muscular imbalances that occur with more conventional and
less-comprehensive forms of resistance training. In addition to the TRX being
a complete training solution, packaged with cutting-edge training programs, it
is also an economical way of getting a full body workout without a hefty price
tag.

Considering that the TRX was initially created around the vision of creating a
highly portable piece of training equipment that engaged the entire body, this
distinction from Men's Health couldn't be more appropriate. Fitness Anywhere's
Hetrick, developed the TRX when leading elite Navy SEAL units on deployment in
remote locations. With no gyms or conventional fitness environments available,
Hetrick created the early incarnations of the TRX out of spare parachute
materials, allowing soldiers to train their entire body using a single piece
of equipment. 

Since its introduction to the marketplace in 2005, the TRX Suspension Trainer
is now used and trusted by trainers, coaches, athletes, physical therapists,
and all branches of the military. Its popularity with teams in the NFL, NBA,
MLB, NHL and NCAA surges onward and it has quickly become a mainstay in top
health clubs across the country. Already adopted by elite trainers such as
Mark Verstegen, Alwyn Cosgrove, Gunnar Peterson and many more, the personal
training community is embracing Suspension Training and further establishing
it as a tried and true fitness method appropriate for all fitness levels.
