No tires required

TRX looks to take down CrossFit & P90X: Does simple, Navy SEAL-style trainingwork better?

First there was P90X — and its exceedingly mutable host, Tony Horton — then there was the cult of CrossFit, and now it seems a new fitness fad is infecting the gym rats.

TRX, a fitness program dedicated to using your own weight as resistance, is gaining speed among trainers.

One advantage is TRX's lack of equipment. Unlike CrossFit's abandoned warehouse locales and tire tossing and P90X's necessity of dumbbells and in-home pull-up bars, TRX's only requirement is a nylon strap.

TRX relies upon suspension training to work core muscles and allow devotees to easily use their own body weight to adjust the difficulty level of their workouts.

Peña is coming off an impressive 2025 season that cemented his status as the Astros’ best position player, hitting .304 with 17 home runs and 20 stolen bases — enough to rank as eighth most valuable position player in the American League. That enhances an already impressive resume that includes being named the MVP of the 2022 World Series as the Astros won their second title.

Grosso is just as accomplished as her fiancee. Currently a member of the NWSL's Chicago Red Stars, she won a gold medal with the 2020 Canadian national team.

No word on a wedding date or venue, yet. Although Peña reportedly turned down a $105 million contract extension last season, he’s still going to earn $9 million in 2026, so it should be a party to remember.
