Last Saturday, June 14th, 2025, marked the 250th anniversary of America’s Army. This milestone honors generations of discipline, training, and service. As part of their ongoing commitment to readiness, The Old Guard, the Army’s oldest active-duty unit, recently added the FlipSled to their training program. Known for enhancing functional strength, the FlipSled helps the unit maintain the physical edge required for both ceremonial and tactical performance.
The Old Guard’s use of the FlipSled shows their focus on staying ready. They need strength, control, and teamwork and the FlipSled helps build those skills through training that matches what they do in real life.
The FlipSled is more than the average training tool. It’s functional strength training equipment built for next-level performance. Designed to develop explosive power, real-world strength, and cohesive team movement, it mirrors the demands of team-based operations and combat scenarios.
The FlipSled helps The Old Guard stay combat-ready through:
Mirrors the natural, functional movements used in the field to build strength that directly transfers to real-life tasks.
Designed for multiple users to train together, improve communication, coordination, and unit cohesiveness.
Customizable weight allows you to match your strength and training goals, allowing consistent progress over time by pushing your limits and progressing.
Military-grade durability built to handle the toughest workouts and roughest conditions without breaking down.
Not only does it create physical gains, it also is sharpening how teams move and work together.
This FlipSled isn't about reinventing training. It's about taking the fundamentals and refining them into one efficient training tool. There's no gimmicks, just power and performance that holds up under pressure. That's why The Old Guard chose FlipSled. For a unit that represents centuries of tradition, excellence, and service, The Old Guard's integration of the FlipSled shows their commitment to staying the best.
“The Old Guard didn’t choose the FlipSled for flash—they chose it because it works. It builds real strength, real teamwork, and real results. That’s why it stands up to elite standards like those of The Old Guard..”
— Jason Kreklow, Senior Sales Manager, FlipSled
The FlipSled’s design focuses on maximizing explosive power and functional strength through simple, targeted movements. Its efficiency saves training time while pushing athletes to perform at their peak. By focusing on the essentials, it helps users build the resilience and power necessary for demanding, real-world conditions.
As the Army’s oldest active-duty infantry unit, The Old Guard, known as the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regimen, serves an important role. As the official Honor Guard of the United States Army, they perform some of the most physically demanding and visible duties in the military, including ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, official state functions, and honoring fallen service members. Their training is about precision, control, and strength under pressure. The fact that a unit known for upholding the Army’s highest standards chose the FlipSled speaks volumes. It’s proof that the FlipSled meets the physical and mental demands required to represent the Army at the highest level.
