What’s TRX® Training?

TRX suspension training is an exercise tool developed by a former navy seal that allows people to work out regardless of location. It does this by using an anchor point such as a door or tree that it hangs from and allows you to use your body weight as the resistance and can be a great alternative to weight training.

Why TRX?

TRX allows you to get the optimal workout from home by using the best tool, your body. The TRX Suspension Trainer Straps can be used practically everywhere and grant you access to many different exercises. Whether you’re training at home, in an office, or at a park you’ll be able to use TRX to your advantage. Regardless of your goal, whether it be weight loss or gaining muscle mass, the TRX system will help you achieve it at any place, any time.

TRX Suspension Training – It’s For Everyone

From absolute beginners to the pro athlete, the TRX training system will have exercises that will challenge your fitness. For example, if you struggle with doing a pushup, then you can use the TRX straps to make a pushup possible. On the other hand, if you have mastered the plank then doing a TRX plank can make the exercise harder for you. That’s the great thing about the TRX training system, it meets you where you’re at!

Functional Workouts

We choose to incorporate TRX into our training because it provides the fundamentals for functional exercise: strength, stability, and flexibility. It can do this because the straps are free-moving, meaning they can move in any direction. So when you do a pushup on the TRX you have to work harder than doing a pushup on the floor. Also, because those straps move freely it allows you to reach deep stretching positions, which increases flexibility. The straps will also help you build muscle and burn fat because TRX straps allow for a maximum range of motion making exercises much more effective. All these qualities allow for better fat loss, stronger and more toned muscles, and improved posture.

Benefits of a TRX Workout Using Suspension Training Equipment

Suspension training equipment, like the popular TRX Suspension Trainer, offers a versatile and efficient way to engage in functional training and fitness at any level. With just a set of suspension straps and your body weight, you can perform a full-body workout targeting every major muscle group. The best suspension trainers are known for their durability, featuring robust adjustable straps, rubber handles for a secure grip, and a significant weight capacity to accommodate users of various sizes. Additionally, accessories such as the TRX door anchor expand the possibilities, allowing you to set up a home gym virtually anywhere. However, despite these benefits, users must be cautious about the installation, ensuring the suspension anchor is secure to prevent accidents during sweaty workouts or when applying full body weight.

Cons Of Suspension Training Equipment

On the downside, while suspension trainers like the TRX Training Club offer a range of exercises, they may not provide the specific resistance or support needed for certain fitness goals. For instance, while resistance bands and suspension straps are great for enhancing core stability and muscle endurance, they might not be the best choice for someone looking to build muscle mass rapidly. Furthermore, the foot cradle and locking loop design, although innovative, require a learning curve and might not be as intuitive for beginners. It’s also crucial to consider the surface where the trainer is anchored; improper setup on unstable doors or frames can lead to injury or damage to the property.

Overall, the TRX is a great training tool that can help you look and feel the way you’ve always wanted!
