Aion, the premium weighted vest company founded by Brent Yates, and TRX, the functional training brand founded by former Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick, today announced a strategic partnership featuring a limited-edition weighted workout vest in TRX’s signature colors.
The collaboration brings together two brands focused on quality, innovation, and training tools designed to support performance at every stage of life. The new Aion x TRX Workout Vest launched at the April 25th TRX Training Summit in Delray Beach, FL, where attendees elevated their TRX workouts with Aion’s strategic blend of weight, compression, and targeted heat capture.
“Aion is proud to partner with TRX, a brand that has set the standard for functional training for decades,” said Brent Yates, Founder of Aion. “Both companies are committed to performance and longevity by helping people level up their workouts at every age. It’s a natural fit.”
“At TRX, we’re passionate about bringing innovative products to market that help people lead healthy, active lives. Our partnership with Aion takes functional fitness into everyday living.” said Jack Daly, Chief Executive Officer of TRX. “The meteoric rise of weight vests isn’t just a trend — it reflects a growing demand for smart, versatile training tools that maximize results. Together, Aion and TRX are committed to delivering the best gear on the market.”
Available in men’s and women’s configurations, the super-sleek, zippered Aion x TRX Workout Vest hugs the wearer’s torso, eliminating interference with natural movements by evenly distributing load while adding just enough compression to reduce bulk, eliminate bounce, and promote circulation. Aion’s breathable Neoprene and Nylon Airprene™ and antimicrobial materials resist odor-causing bacteria, contributing to the vest’s popularity among coaches, personal trainers, and fitness influencers, while TRX’s signature black and yellow color palette positions the vest firmly within a world-renowned catalog of proven, versatile, athlete-approved functional training tools.
The limited-edition Aion x TRX Workout Vest marks the beginning of what both companies hope will be a long and fruitful collaboration supporting consumers, fitness professionals, and athletes seeking to build strength, increase caloric burn, boost heart rate, and promote active recovery.
