In 2005, after his potentially career-ending shoulder injury, Drew Brees started using the TRX Suspension System.

December 3, 2009, Fitness Anywhere, the company behind the incredibly popular TRX workout  announced  a formal partnership with  the New Orleans Saints Quarterback. The partnership not only names Brees as spokesman, but as investor.

Brees reveals his off-season workout

What's TRX?
TRX is a go anywhere workout that uses set of nylon straps to create resistance from two sources always at your disposal: body weight and gravity. It was invented by former Navy SEAL squadron commander Randy Hetrick and, and has become one of the hottest trends on the fitness circuit today.

Hetrick is a great example of a do-something person - Navy SEAL, Stanford Business School Grad, and mogul of the San Francisco-based Fitness Anywhere, which was named as one of the top 30 places to work in the US.

It's used by athletes (Buffalo Bill's Trent Edwards used it over last year's off season), as well as by fitness buffs from all walks of life. It also has a celebrity base through personal trainer Gunnar Peterson, whose clients include pro athletes and many of Hollywood’s true icons like Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis

"The TRX is the greatest piece of functional equipment that exists, and it was a critical component to my shoulder rehabilitation and now to my ongoing conditioning and success on the field," said Brees. "Whether you are a high-performance athlete, a weekend warrior, a stay-at-home mom, or just someone trying to stay in shape and get an edge, the TRX can benefit people from all walks of life."

Brees nearly broke Dan Marino's single season passing record in 2008, and this season he is leading the NFL in passing to help his team to a perfect 11-0 start.

"I don't put my name behind anything unless I believe in it 100%," said Brees. "So for me to endorse the company's products and also invest in it should say a lot about how excited I am about what Fitness Anywhere is doing."
