GovX and BONKGEAR Partner for Army Physical Fitness Test Themed Apparel Retail Sales
ASHBURN, VA (PRWEB) April 17, 2015 -- BONKGEAR, designer and distributor of smart athletic apparel for endurance, strength and agility training, announces a retail partnership with GovX. GovX is the leading e-commerce destination providing discounts for current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as first responders and related government agencies.
At GovX you will find products with pricing exclusively for verified {military and government} customers. All products are shipped directly from the manufacturer.
BONKGEAR, founded in the heart of an athlete, is a veteran owned small business. It is a first of its kind apparel company, providing you with the means to enhance or maintain your fitness level by ensuring that you always have a workout with you. Each BONKGEAR apparel design includes a hidden QR code that when scanned using any QR scanner on your smartphone, auto-launches a mobile-enhanced website containing daily rotating workouts inspired by the theme of the shirt. Each shirt design includes 9+ custom training workouts, with three levels of intensity – Level 1, Level 2 and BONK level.
BONKGEAR has launched a new shirt design and workout series for GovX customers – WARRIOR APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test). The WARRIOR APFT shirt comes with customized workouts and proudly displays a tailored Army APFT specific design on the back. Strength and Conditioning specialist, Stew Smith, creates the workouts that launch from the QR code on the shirts. “The workouts are designed to help improve your APFT test scores,” states Smith. “The workouts are perfect for newly enlisted soldiers, active duty personnel or veterans looking to stay fit. We provide an extra boost in maintaining physical fitness, and readiness for APFT test day.”
The APFT has a max score of 300 and consists of the 2 minute timed push-up, 2 minute timed sit-up, and the timed 2-mile run. “The military, no matter what branch, is finding it harder to find eligible candidates,” states Army vet and Founder of BONKGEAR, Chris Jones. “They are finding that 7 out of 10 new enlistments are out of shape and we want the WARRIOR shirts to be a form of self motivation to help them succeed.”
Smith is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, former Navy SEAL Lieutenant, and an author of several fitness and self-defense books. Labeled as the Personal Trainer to the Heroes of Tomorrow, a tribute site to fallen heroes, Smith assists future heroes to train for any physical fitness test in the military and law enforcement agencies.
GovX CEO Marc Van Buskirk added, "The concept behind BONKGEAR speaks to the GovX culture of supporting all those who have ever protected and served. Staying in top physical condition is of the utmost importance to so many of our members, and the Warrior APFT shirt and workout series shows a deep commitment to their lifestyles, ethics, and call to service. GovX is truly thankful to have BONKGEAR on board with our mission, and to be a part of what will truly be an exciting and much-needed new product in fitness.”
