STRIVE is dedicated in supporting the United States Armed Forces. STRIVE equipment has been successfully installed on more than 30 bases in over 50 facilities, spanning virtually every branch of the military.

 In 2003, STRIVE was selected for installation at the F-16 high-G training facility at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.  Air Force physiologists selected STRIVE after determining that it delivers the most time-efficient system of strength training that generates optimal results.

 Following this initial Military installation, STRIVE also gained significant credibility with its adoption by US Naval Special Warfare Groups.  STRIVE’s adjustable cam that delivers 9-different strength curves provided the platform for uniquely effective-and time efficient training protocols to be established.  Injury prevention and endurance improvements were also crucial factors as they selected STRIVE, along with the significant positive impacts to the areas of strength and muscle-mass development.

STRIVE was the first commercial strength training equipment company to participate in the Air Force’s AETC Commercial Sponsorship Program.  As part of this program, a circuit of STRIVE Smart Strength was transported across the country from AETC base to base, enabling fitness leaders and troops to gain familiarity with STRIVE’s uniquely effective strength equipment. With STRIVE’s patented technology, users immediately sense the difference that STRIVE delivers.

STRIVE Smart Strength also became the strength training technology of choice at the Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base’s Senior NCO Academy in Alabama.  This has further familiarized senior military personnel with the incredible results that are attainable in quick (30-minute) and interesting Smart Strength training sessions. 

The data that has been attained and continues to become available from Gunter Senior NCO Academy is compelling.  The use of a 14-piece circuit of STRIVE equipment 3 times a week along with a 30-minute run has contributed to an average increase in the AF fitness scores of 4.5 points, a vertical leap increase of 2.5 inches, and a decrease in run times by over a minute, during Gunter’s 6-week training regimen.
