Top 6 Reasons to Try Suspension Training

#1 Science-backed workouts that get results.

The secret sauce behind Suspension Training® is non-stop instability, which automatically requires more muscle activation. Because part of your body is always suspended during Suspension Training, your muscles reflexively engage to stabilize you. That means you get a better workout in less time.

#2 Effective, efficient, full-body fitness.

Work your arms, back, chest, legs, or core: TRX has thousands of exercises to help you reach your goals. Get a full-body workout with just one piece of equipment, or combine it with weights and bands to level up the challenge.

#3 Trusted by millions.

TRX is not a fad. Born in the Navy SEALs, the TRX Suspension Trainer has been trusted by personal trainers, athletes, first responders, and healthcare professionals around the world for over 20 years.

#4 Easy set-up to train anywhere.

Use your TRX Suspension Trainer at home or on-the-go. Hang it on a door, tree, or beam, and you’re ready to train in less than a minute. The TRX Suspension Trainer is ultra-portable and weighs less than 2 lbs, so you never have to miss a workout.

#5 Adapts to any fitness level.

Suspension Training ensures that you continue to get an effective workout as you progress. Increase or decrease the intensity of any move by taking a step forward or back. (Yes, it’s that simple.) You’re in control, so you’ll always get the challenge your body needs.

#6 Expert guidance from TRX Training Club.
