We spoke with Daniel Hutchins, who is a co-owner of Getting Fit LLC (a business dedicated to providing athletes with the right tools and accessories). At GettingFit.me, customers can purchase the best of fitness products at low prices. Daniel spoke with us about the inspiration behind Getting Fit, what the best products for Triathlons are, spring sports, and his favorite TurfCordz® products.
Talk to us a little about Getting Fit. What inspired you to establish the business? What’s your favorite part of managing Getting Fit?
Brandon, Ernesto and I are big into Triathlons and while competing in an event two years ago, we noticed that there was no one there with a booth to sell last-minute items. We wanted to give people the opportunity to purchase items such as swim caps, water bottles, and energy chews on the day of the event.
My favorite part of managing Getting Fit is the relationships we make with all of the triathletes. The atmosphere is just great – everyone is there to have fun and to help each other out, whether you are one of the top athletes or a beginner.
What TurfCordz® products do your customers tend to buy the most, particularly in the spring?
Our customers tend to buy the Safety Cord Speed Belt S125 for the running portion of the Triathlon and the Drag Belt/Tow Tether S109 (a StrechCordz® item) for the swimming portion. The Speed belt helps them to improve their speed by training with a partner and the Drag Belt helps increase their endurance and strength through resistance, while making them quicker at swimming, which tends to be the weakest event for most athletes.
What springtime training exercises do you recommend for athletes who use our TurfCordz® products?
I would recommend the Squat Cordz S99 to build leg muscle. I would also recommend the TurfCordz® with Handles S116 for upper-body workouts.
Do you have any favorite exercises using TurfCordz ® products?
I love using TurfCordz® with Handles S116, which allows me to train from the comfort of my own home. The Jump Belt S130 is one of my favorites for basketball training.
Which sport is closest to your heart? Why?
Track. It is a sport you can participate in year-round and it is peaceful…you can put some music on and just go for miles.
