IHRSA 2011 – Friday Fragments

March 25th, 2011

The Hyper Staff went to San Francisco, CA, for IHRSA (International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association) March 15-19. We created quite a buzz of excitement as personal trainers, gym owners, and fitness enthusiasts encountered Hyper Wear products – some for the first time.

We introduced our two newest employees, Diane Vives and Denver Fredenburg.

As our new CEO, Denver will lead us forward as we continue to experience rapid growth. Denver comes from a family deeply involved in coaching and in physical education. A former college athlete, and Captain of Baylor University’s baseball team, Denver has ten years of global industry experience in sales, marketing and branding; including seven years of experience with Nike. An avid amateur athlete, he has participated triathlons, marathons, and is currently training for his 6th ultra-marathon. He holds a Masters Degree in Exercise Science as well as a B.B.A. in Finance and International Business.

Another great addition to the Hyper Family is Diane Vives, our new Director of Training and Education. Diane is a worldwide speaker with twelve years experience as a performance coach, fitness director, public speaker and educator. Diane serves as a member of Under Armour’s Performance Training Advisory Council. For all of you clamoring for training content and education, Diane is the answer. She will lead Hyper Training efforts to create content and build our Training Ambassador program. She will also support Cosmo with product research as we continue to introduce dynamic and innovative products.

Chad Skrederstu and Britny Fowler joined the team to talk about the products and show them in action as our first two Hyper Training Ambassadors. Britny Fowler, NASM –CPT, is a personal trainer at Life Time Fitness and can be seen on A&E Television’s “HEAVY,” a docudrama about changing the lives of the morbidly obese. Chad Skrederstu, CSCS, founder of action sports performance training program Sand, Snow and Street, recently returned from a ten-month worldwide tour where he visited with experts in strength and conditioning around the globe.

In addition, we were honored to make new friends and reconnect with old ones, such as the fine folks at TRX.

We’ll keep you posted about where we’ll be next – we’d love to see you and put you through a Hyper Workout!

Sprinter Workout with SandBell, TRX & Hyper Vest PRO – MMM #71

September 13th, 2010

Good Monday Morning!

This week I’m sending off one of my most long serving athletes to his first year of college, Jack Wallace, and we’re doing it in Hyper-style!!

Jack attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School here in Austin and is about to begin his collegiate track and field career at the University of the Redlands in California this month.

He is a hard-working, dedicated 400m sprinter that is ready to take his abilities to the collegiate ranks, and I’ve been helping him prepare for that goal since late 2009.

I caught his final workout with me on camera and decided to share it with you! He’s working with a Hyper Vest PRO, 25 lb SandBell, TRX, and other great toys we have here at CATZ!

Good luck Jack!

SandBell Viking Toss with Rachel Cosgrove and Dos Remedios – MMM #64

July 27th, 2010

Good Monday Morning!

We found a fun circuit video from a great friend and amazing trainer, Dos Remedios, who loves Hyper Wear products. Robert dos Remedios is the 2006 NSCA Collegiate Strength Coach of the Year. He is the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, CA, and a sought after speaker and writer on conditioning.

He is also great friends with Alwyn & Rachel Cosgrove, who own and operate Results Fitness Gym. Both have written multiple books and are highly sought after trainers and speakers.

Well, Dos and Rachel teamed up to film Rachel doing an intense workout out at Hermosa Beach, CA! Rachel works out with multiple pieces of equipment, but the best is her training with the SandBells, performing a full body exercise called the Viking Toss.

Watch out though, Rachel is a true Man Eater in this video!

Enjoy!

May’s Muscle and Fitness Magazine – Helloooo SandBell!

April 19th, 2010

Just saw that Hyper Wear SandBell sandbag and TRX are pictured in the May Muscle and Fitness. Picture is of pro baseball player Tom Holliday doing a prone TRX row with a 50 lb. SandBell on his chest. He is on the cover. This must have been taken at Hyde Park Gym in Austin. Here’s a quick shot of it that Dirk posted on Facebook for us.

Partner Toss : TRX + Hyper Vest + SandBell – MMM #49

April 5th, 2010

Good Monday Morning!!

We’re continuing to find awesome ways to use the TRX Suspension Training.  They have lots of videos featuring excellent group training, so we decided to throw some partner work into the mix.  Here is a killer combo of SandBell tosses and single arm pull-ups with the TRX that will surely take your partner training to an extreme level!

Please Note: When using the TRX as one unit instead of the traditional two ropes, make sure to follow the safety instructions to avoid injury. Safety first, then have fun!

Have a great week of training!

Core Plank & Flip : TRX + Hyper Vest + SandBell – MMM #48

March 29th, 2010

Good Monday Morning!

We’ve back for the fourth workout in our TRX + Hyper Wear series.  Some people new to TRX may have a common misconception that you can’t utilize other pieces of equipment while using it. Hopefully this series of TRX/Sandbell Exercises has proven those misconceptions WRONG!!

So, what do we have in store for you now? This week, we’re going into plank position.  It’s time to rock the core strength and stability and take it to an extreme level.  Want help with your upper body strength and core stability, but tired of doing bench presses and crunches? Well, check out this week’s video to blow the doors off your training routine!!
