Navy SEAL inspired Functional Training

The original idea for BodyRev came to company co-founder, Alden Mills, years ago when his U.S. Navy SEAL platoon was studied to learn why so many SEALs became injured as a result of their physical training. An expert hired by the military discovered that many of the injuries sustained by the SEALs were the result of using decades-old strength training techniques-repetitive exercises using free weights that placed extreme stress on a few isolated muscles and joints at a time.

Alden Mills and company co-founder Mark Friedman designed the BodyRev with the help of top fitness professionals, engineers, and a university kinesiologist. Using principles taught to the SEALs, now called Functional Training, Mills developed the BodyRev workout routines. Functional Training is the idea that people become healthier and more effective if they train the way they naturally move in their daily lives.
