In 2014, Mark DeGrasse, then Chief Fitness Officer of Onnit and formerly of MyMadMethods Magazine, reached out to us regarding our THOR Performance Turf line. His vision was to incorporate a high-performance training surface into the innovative Onnit Academy, a cutting-edge fitness center that embodies the philosophy of unconventional training.
This collaboration was a pivotal moment in the evolution of fitness training spaces, as the Onnit Academy aimed to revolutionize how athletes and fitness enthusiasts approached their workouts. Our THOR Performance Turf became a key component of this transformation, offering the durability, traction, and versatility required for unconventional training methods.
The Birth of a Unique Training Space
The Onnit Academy, located in Austin, Texas, is not just a gym—it’s a hub for innovation in fitness, blending elements of functional fitness, unconventional tools, and holistic health. With the inclusion of THOR Performance Turf, the academy ensured it provided a premium experience for its clientele.
The space quickly gained recognition for its design and the functionality of its equipment. The Onnit Academy was designed to inspire movement while incorporating unconventional training tools such as kettlebells, battle ropes, and maces. It’s a place where elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts come together to push the boundaries of traditional training.
A Partnership for Excellence
When Mark DeGrasse contacted us, he emphasized the importance of creating an environment that supported the academy’s mission of redefining fitness. Our THOR Performance Turf fit seamlessly into this vision. Designed for high-impact training and multi-directional movement, the turf provided the academy with a surface that was not only functional but also durable enough to withstand rigorous daily use.
The success of this collaboration was highlighted in an article published by PRWeb, which detailed the culture and offerings of the Onnit Academy. The article also spotlighted the unique approach that makes the academy a league of its own. You can read more about this exciting development in the fitness world here.
