A Review of the TRX Suspension Trainer
First of all I must apologize for having two consecutive posts devoted to the TRX Suspension Trainer, but I honestly like this product. I’m convinced that with this product I’ll be able to maintain my commitment this year to get in the best shape possible.
What is Suspension Training?
Suspension training is a new category of exercise for people of all abilities and fitness levels that leverages your own bodyweight and gravity to develop your strength, agility, balance and flexibility all at once.
Sometimes Simple is Better
When I first saw the TRX Suspension Trainer on the internet I must admit that I was under whelmed. What I saw looked like just two nylon straps. But there is much more to the TRX Suspension trainer than meets the eye.
What initially got my attention was the fact that the TRX suspension trainer is used by many top professional athletes such as Drew Brees, Ladanian Tomlinson and Reggie Bush of the NFL.
The TRX Suspension trainer also comes with tons of testimonials from top trainers such as Gunnar Peterson whose clients include pro athletes and many of Hollywood’s top stars such as Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis.
The testimonials got my attention because I figured that professional athletes would not waste their time using or recommending a product that did not work.
I placed an order online for my TRX Professional and I promptly received it at my door in three days.
When I opened the package I was immediately struck by how heavy duty the nylon straps and buckles appeared. The straps are woven nylon similar to seat belts used in automobiles only thicker. The clip and buckles appear to be industrial grade in quality.
I next read the installation and exercise instructions and viewed the included DVD. The instructions were easy to understand and the DVD was very professionally done. The exercises on the DVD are made so that you can follow along as you watch. There is also a laminated foldable instruction sheet that you can take with you to workout anywhere.
I attached my TRX Suspension trainer to a tree in my back yard. This took less than one minute. The TRX can also be attached to a door with the door attachment or to a sturdy fence or post.
I immediately began to perform the exercises and I was impressed by how easy it is to either decrease or increase the difficulty of an exercise by merely shifting my body weight either forward or backward. Also the length of the nylon straps may be quickly adjusted up or down to increase or decrease stability to allow you to perform hundreds of TRX exercises.
I have worked out on many types of home gyms and exercise machines in the past but the TRX Suspension trainer is by far the easiest system to use. The TRX Suspension trainer allows you to quickly and easily shift from one exercise to the next. This ability to easily flow from one exercise to the next without stopping will allow you perform an aerobic and anaerobic workout. This is a huge advantage over the use of traditional weights or bulky home gyms.
As I performed the TRX exercises I was amazed at the workout that I was getting. The feeling was similar to working out on an expensive weight machine. After my first exercise on the TRX Suspension Trainer my ribs and stomach area were sore for several days but it was a good feeling because I realized that many of my core muscles had been exercised like never before. My soreness was evidence that the TRX Suspension trainer provides a core workout as advertised. I’m convinced that bodyweight training using the TRX is definitely the way to workout.
When I was done performing exercises on the TRX Suspension Trainer I simply unclipped it from the tree in my backyard and quickly stuffed it into the included nylon pouch with a draw string and tossed it into my Jeep eager to show my friends.
Never have I used such an effective all body exercise system that is so portable and so affordable! But better yet the TRX Suspension trainer is fun to use. And its so effective that so many triathletes, runners and martial arts practitioners are using the TRX to stay in shape. And what’s even better is now beginners are discovering the benefits of working out at home with the TRX Suspension Trainer.
If you’re thinking about buying an expensive home gym or paying monthly fees at a fitness facility, please take a look at this first!
Fun, fast, portable, effective and inexpensive there is a lot to like about the TRX Suspension trainer.

Dude,
I got one of these last September. I’m a triathlete and now I do all my strength training using this little beauty.
Cheers,
Hank
I might try this. It looks like it can do just about everything I need out of a workout device.
