Po w e r X compiled by Kelly Wallace Speaking of Power X X’ers on the Toughest Workout on the Planet Rope Burns: Dave Pryor, Amanda Pryor , Samantha Smidt and Heather Olsen W hen Kelly and Shawn Wallace pitched their idea for an outdoor high intensity interval training program to us back in 2011 we were all really excited about the idea. First of all, as anyone knows, when it comes to fitness, just about anything that Kelly dreams up goes viral. But we were also intrigued by the idea itself: taking members out into the real world and training them with the latest (and craziest) fitness implements, like battling ropes, TRX, kettlebells and whatever else Kelly and Shawn could dig up. Drill hard with short rest periods for 30 minutes and you’re done. Simple, right? Three years later it is one of the most popular and most challenging programs we ’ve ever sponsored. Don’t believe me? See what the die-hard Power Xers have to say about their passion... “Power X pushes your cardio stamina in unbelievable ways and helps you discover muscles you didn't know existed!” - Christina DeFrancisco “Best ass kicking I've ever had!” - Kristen Havdouglas “Work hard, sweat much, stay young.” - Grace McHugh “Always challenging, never boring!” - Heather Olsen “Our Wednesday night Fit Family Rocks!!! Each one of us shows up and gives 110% every week. Love the challenges thrown at us each week. Giving up is not an option in Power X! This is the best 30 minutes that I spend on myself every week.” - Rose Busse “Love my #fitfamily” - Amanda Pryor PowerX: 30 minutes of pushing your body Tuggin’ TRX: Jen Fitzgibbon, Monica Proto, Enza Crispo and Maria Sideras “Absolute, muscle burning awesome!” - Maria Sideras “An intense diversified workout!” - Enza Crispo “It will hurt…it will take dedication…it will require will power and sacrifice…you must push your body to the max! There will be temptation to quit, but for 30 minutes you need to hold on, and when you are done it's more than worth it!” - Chris Pepito “Ever since I attended a Power X demo in the fall of 2013, I was immediately welcomed, encouraged and instantly became family with the Power X pro's. It is the most invigorating workout there is! The amazing encouragement from the Power X family, in and out of class, makes all the difference. I have never been challenged like this in my workouts. I love it! The class NEVER gets easier…I am now a Power X-er!” - Sarah Mitchell Flippin’ ViPR: Jen Fitzgibbon to the max. Every week it's the ultimate challenge for me, especially when those last 10 seconds feel like eternity and your body is failing. At the end when its over you walk away feeling like a warrior, its the eye of the tiger, and you will hear us "ROAR” - Nicole Maisto Ready to take the Power X plunge? Give it a try!
