With its increasing recognition as the global leaders in fitness, TRX continues to pave the way by providing innovative product, world-class programming, and gold-standard education.  These core values and tenets are what separate TRX from other fitness brands, while making strategic hires like Ciaravino imperative to continue the company’s thought leadership and growth trajectory in the international market.

“We are thrilled to have Olivier as an international team member and part of the executive leadership team,” said President, Paul Zadoff. “He has a proven track record within the industry, demonstrated an innate ability to lead a group of like-minded professionals looking to change the fitness landscape internationally, and will greatly contribute to the success of our business across the globe with his creativity and drive.”

Gavin Whelan, Country Manager, UK, will be joining Ciaravino to help lead the International TRX force with budgeting, planning, channel management and implementation.
