Today I’m joined by TRX founder Randy Hetrick & CEO Jack Daly.
In the 90s, former Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick developed portable suspension straps while on deployment before launching TRX in 2004, then led the business for 15 years before selling. In 2022, Randy teamed up with Jack Daly to buy the brand back out of bankruptcy, kicking off a new chapter for the company.
In this episode, we discuss TRX 2.0. We also cover new product development, acquisition opportunities, and TRX’s digital platform.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How the pair plans to reimagine the brand • TRX’s current offerings and future vision for functional training • Why Jack and Randy believe people are the key to TRX’s success
