Equipping and Training the Force with BeaverFit's Jason Clark

In our second "Industry Episode" we're learning about a company almost every service member has at least noticed on their installation: BeaverFit.

And if you've been confused about the odd company name, don't worry, we get that history right away. Tom Beaver, founder of BeaverFit UK, built his first outdoor training rig in 2006 while preparing for the grueling Enduroman Arch to Arc, an 87-mile run from London to the English Channel, a swim across the Channel and a 180-mile bike ride to Paris.

A few years later, the Special Air Service teams from Hereford — just a stone’s throw away from the Beaver family farm in Shropshire — spent a day with Tom training on his unique outdoor rig and immediately asked him to build them one.

Our guest for this discussion is Jason Clark, BeaverFit's Director of Education and Training. Jason is a Marine Corps combat veteran and former drill instructor. He later went on to work in the fitness industry and then as a strength and conditioning director for the Marine Corps HITT program. He also served on the advisory board for human performance at HQ Marine Corps.

Since this is one of our “industry episodes” our conversation will be more focused on BeaverFit than Jason himself, but the Any Given Day podcast just published an episode that’s much more personal, so if you want to learn more about the guy, check it out!
