LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. --  Airmen at Little Rock Air Force Base now have another avenue to maintain their fit-to-fight lifestyle. Along with gym access 24/7, Airmen now have the opportunity to use the TRX Expeditionary Force Trainer to maintain their physical fitness.

The 19th Force Support Squadron in partnership with the 19th Civil Engineer Squadron and the 19th Contracting Squadron are providing the TRX Expeditionary Force Trainer, located at the Warfit Pavilion, in order to provide more options for physical fitness.

The contents of the box consist of barbells, bumper plates, medicine balls, kettle bells, TRX strap kits, TRX RIP trainers, sand bags, battling ropes and much more. The program will encourage Airmen to build strength using different exercises and tools associated with the program.

While the fitness tools are available, a sign-up process is required to utilize, maintain and monitor the equipment daily. Only a unit physical training leader or unit fitness program manager can reserve the site. The site can be reserved only one day in advance through the fitness center front desk.

The key to the box will only be signed out to PTLs/UFPMs who are registered with the Fitness Assessment Cell by appointment letter. While the key is in the units' possession, the unit is responsible for all contents of the TRX container. Upon the return of the key, an inventory will be conducted by the unit to ensure all equipment is accounted for. In addition, inventory checks will be conducted by fitness staff each day.

For more information on the TRX program or to enquire about reservation dates, contact the base fitness center at (501) 987-7716.
