BeaverFit delivers two custom Inclined Skills Trainers to 25th Infantry Division
There are only four known Inclined Skills Trainers throughout the entire Department of Defense. And the 25th Infantry Division at U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii just got two of them. BeaverFit ISTs are purpose-built to assess, enhance and refine strength, endurance and responsiveness. These custom, mission-focused solutions optimize muscular and cardiovascular conditioning while improving tactical mobility, equipping tactical athletes with the physical readiness needed for real-world operations. To make the most out of activating these products with the Soldiers, a few “unlucky” BeaverFit teammates flew out to Hawaii in January to host two training and education events with the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Teams. “What an absolute honor it was to be involved with this project,” said Scott Wing, OCONUS sales director, BeaverFit. “From the first conversations to finally seeing the ISTs in action, this was a true collaboration between the Division and BeaverFit.” During sessions led by BeaverFit Training and Education Director Jason Clark and Head of Human Performance Innovation Dr. Chris Frankel, roughly 80 Soldiers cycled through rotating circuits of strength and conditioning exercises including inclined sprints, inclined lateral lunges, modified rope climbs, hand-release push-ups, front-facing and lateral step-ups, and more. “It was incredible to watch the Soldiers train in that manner right there at the unit footprint,” said Clark. “Knowing the IST presents real-world skill crossover to what they encounter in the jungle environment meant even more.” The appearance of DOD imagery does not imply or constitute federal endorsement. The IST is designed to support various training formats based on unit needs, amount of personnel, and allotted time. High-intensity continuous training: Continuous work on and around the IST to target endurance and grit. High-intensity interval training: Hybrid strength and cardio work with active and/or passive recovery around stations for a balanced intensity challenge. Sprint interval training: Short sprints with extended recovery targeting maximal effort. “The IST is a unique training environment where the apparatus and proper coaching develops human performance qualities, capabilities and skills in a challenging and scalable way,” added Frankel. “The intentional design and execution of the ramp, stairs and accessory training stations makes for one of the best training experiences I have ever seen.” While BeaverFit custom-designs and manufactures each IST unique to a unit’s specific training requirements and available footprint, these solutions can typically feature: Steel I-beam or container-based options Center platforms Inclined ramps with anti-slip protection or turf lining 12, 18, 24 or 30-inch stairs Cargo nets, climbing and rappel walls, and/or rope climb options Fall protection – chipped rubber and/or crash pads Option to add performance turf or flooring Ability to incorporate BeaverFit Performance Lockers and accessories Weatherproof, hot-dip galvanized steel components – built to last Is this the game-changer your unit needs to level up your tactical preparedness?

5 ways to upgrade your BeaverFit container gym
Training requirements can change. Your BeaverFit equipment can change with them. If you already have a Performance Locker, you don’t need to start from scratch when your mission or training needs evolve. Consider what would improve the training environment. Would more equipment allow more people to train at once? Do miss out on outdoor training days due to rain or high temperatures? Do you want to add new training modalities? Depending on your needs, space and budget, here are a few ways to level up your Locker and upgrade your training experience: 1. Replace and replenish equipment Did some of your kettlebells grow legs and walk away? Did your buddies get too Dam Strong and now you need more bumper plates? We’ve got you covered. Replenishing your outdoor-rated training accessories is only a call or email away. 2. Expand training capabilities with add-ons BeaverFit partners with innovative companies to create new training stations for your Locker. This includes: + Lifting platforms from American Platforms + Cable training system from Ancore + Infinity rope from Marpo + Weighted pulley system from Surplus Strength + Strength/resistance bands from Stroops + And more Contact us for a full list of available add-ons and learn how they can increase strength and functional training opportunities in your setup. 3. Add another Locker Need more training stations for additional personnel? Are you looking to incorporate different elements, like cardio equipment or recovery tools? Consider adding another Locker, with four purpose-built configurations to choose from: + Performance Locker: Our flagship product with external rigs running one or both sides of the container and integrated storage. + Cardio Locker: Multiple roll-up doors for air flow and off-grid cardio equipment. + Recovery Locker: Recovery specific external rigs, roll-up doors and a custom interior including steel benches with integrated storage and shelving for foam rollers and yoga mats. + Storage Locker: Roll-up doors and integrated storage. Whether it’s more training stations, more storage, or new modalities to enhance your human performance environment, we’ll be sure you get what you need. 4. Add a container-mounted shelter Don’t let inclement weather determine whether or not you get outside for a workout. The BeaverFit SunPro is an open-ended structure offering protection from the elements, allowing for more training days and longevity of equipment. It creates a training environment up to 15° F cooler than in direct sunlight, and can be fully engineered to meet local wind, snow and seismic loads. The SunPro can be added to new or existing Lockers, or be mounted to the ground – we’ll help you find the best solution to go along with what you already have. 5. Build a container-based Inclined Skills Trainer Push the limits with real training for real readiness. Turn otherwise flat terrain into an environment that supports incline-based training. BeaverFit Inclined Skills Trainers are purpose-built to assess, enhance and refine strength, endurance and responsiveness, and can be built atop existing Performance Lockers.
