Officially attended my first
IHRSA Fitness Convention held in LA. Wanted to share a few highlights from the show including the good news is that the
Core Transformer speciality bands and workout DVDs are now being carried by Perform Better and featured in their Group Fitness Catalog.

Took loads of meetings with potential clubs for distribution within their Group Visited with Todd Durkin (who loves the Core Transformer bands). Demoed the bands along with our choreography, which we call movement progression sequences to NASM, and got to meet up with one of my favorite fitness writers EVER, Roy Wallack, who covers the fitness gear and gadgets for the LA Times Fitness section.

Did see a lot of repetition or sadly put another way—knock-offs of TRX suspension training and Power Plate. I guess the good news is that they’re a hit and the bad news is that they’re a hit. I did see a couple multi-station performance gyms, such as the Move Strong unit at the Perform Better booth. Really how it was a great all-in-one total body training system to get-it-in and get-it-done. If I owned a gym, I'd earnestly consider placing it within my club.

Finally, I am truly, truly happy and grateful to now be carried and part of the superb Perform Better Group Exercise team lead by
Gay Gasper.
Bottom line: Small steps forward.
