Scott Binder shows young athletes how TRX works.

When Results Fitness Training opened its doors this past October, its owner, Scott Binder, was excited about sharing his passion for TRX, which is a different way of doing weight exercises.

The brainchild of former Navy SEAL, Randy Hetrick, TRX consists of suspension training bodyweight exercises that develop strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously.

Health and wellness enthusiasts are pumped about the TRX system, which requires a Suspension Trainer – a highly portable performance-training tool that leverages gravity and the user’s body weight to complete hundreds of exercises.

Binder explains, “The founder took a belt and parachute and created the TRX system. He had to learn how to market product, and eventually turned it into a successful business. In all, there are 300 movements, and it’s all core all the time. Core is defined from your armpit to your mid-thigh (front, side and back).”

TRX delivers a fast, effective total-body workout, and helps build a solid core while increasing muscular endurance. It’s also beneficial for people of all fitness levels – from pro athletes of all sports to the beginner. Seniors also enjoy the program.

And, since its roots are with the Navy SEALS, it’s fully integrated in all four branches of the US military.

The program is also heavily nutrition-based, and helps its clients by balancing the right proteins, carbs and fats.

“Nutrition is 80 percent of it,” says Binder. Results Fitness Training hosts nutrition seminars every Tuesday night at its facility. They can also create meal options.

One-on-one training is available. You can sign up by visiting www.resultsfitnesstraining.com and registering for a class, or simply drop by. Costs vary depending on an individual’s needs.

It’s the only complete TRX facility available in the Vancouver/Camas area, and they offer 7-9 classes per day. While Binder teaches the majority of the sessions, Results does have other instructors teaching several classes.

Results Training, located in the shopping plaza near Costco (19206 SE 1st Street, Suite 112), has 2,056 square feet of space, and can accommodate 18 people in a single class. The average class size, though, is four to eight. Call 360-984-5465 to set up a meeting time. You can also visit www.resultsfitnesstraining.com

OLYMPIA, WA — State Representative Liz Pike, of Legislative District 18, said, according to the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the state is facing an extreme risk for landslides.
In particular, said Pike, quoting the DNR, Lewis and Thurston Counties are currently facing extreme risk for landslides, which are expected to be “frequent and widespread.”
The most recent forecasts, updated a few hours ago, show all Western Washington and some Eastern Washington counties facing extreme landslide risk.
The DNR warns that sudden changes in creek levels, cracking wood of moving rocks are strong indications of a pending landslide, and they recommend staying away from hiking trails until the ground starts to settle.
If you see a landslide or indications of one, the DNR instructs you to get into contact with your local Emergency Management Division. The direct number is 800-562-6108 or 253-512-7000.
Stay safe out there!

This week’s heavy rain has, of course, had an effect on local roads and bridges, but it has also caused Lacamas Lake to swell and crest the boat ramp (near the Lacamas Lake Lodge). Here is a video. Photos to come in another post. ‪#‎lacamaslake‬ ‪#‎lacamasmagazine‬

 

 

 

 

The annual Camas Christmas tree lighting event begins at 6 pm tonight with Camas School District bands and choir performances. Santa will be there. The City tree will be lit at 6:30 pm (in front of the Liberty Theater) and it just might snow.
The tree lighting festivities will be followed by an 8 pm special showing of “Home Alone” at the Liberty Theater. This is a great way to get family and friends into the fun Christmas season, says Camas Mayor, Scott Higgins.
