 The TRX allows us to keep fit wherever we are | 10/29/2008 - by SB2(SWCC) Blue Jones from Special Boat Team 12 |
About a month ago on behalf of my team I ordered 11 TRX force training kits, and they have been a great hit. When I'm not at the Team I am an aspiring strength and conditioning coach and Crossfit trainer, and I can tell you that few training tools on earth can deliver as good of a conditioning modality in such a compact (and portable) unit. After integrating TRX training into our daily PT schedule I have received an unbelievable amount of good feedback from my team mates both at home and Down-range. Everyone wants one of their own!
In our line of work we often find ourselves in extremely austere conditions in the worst possible places. Fitness is what keeps us mission capable, and The TRX allows us to keep fit wherever we are. The product sells itself practically without my justifying its purchase to my superiors.
I think that everyone at my team should have one, and with that in mind I pitched the idea to my immediate superiors at PT this morning. I've sold a couple of them on the Idea of issuing a TRX to everyone in their basic load-out, but what I need in order to sell the idea all the way up the chain of command is exact dollar amounts.

| Oh My Gosh Becky, Look at MY Butt | 01/23/2009 - by Julian from Corona, California |
I just got my TRX Force Training Kit last week and WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I am a former Marine and thought I knew everything about fitness. This is the best thing since sliced bread and now I have my wife and kids using it as well. Keep it up. Hope to see a kids TRX video in the near future.

| Great Workout | 03/10/2009 - by Mike from Wisconsin |
I am a former Marine who quit smoking and took a pretty good break from PT for the last few years. Needless to say, I've put on some weight which has affected my overall fitness and ability to keep up with the guys in my adult hockey league. TRX was recommended to me by a couple friends who are still in the service. Since purchasing, I haven't been this sore since boot camp!
With the Wisconsin winter I haven't been able to run outside much (ice isn't safe and frostbite isn't fun), so I've substituted elliptical, stationary bike, and treadmill time for the running - trying to stay true to the overall type of exercise recommended by the program.
It's great to be getting back to where I should be. I've reset morning reveille to 05:30 to get in the workout before the day starts. I've found I have more energy during the day, and I've got more focus and drive. I travel for work on occasion, so it's been an additional plus being able to stash it in my suitcase and getting in some exercise in the hotel room to shake off jetlag.

| Marine Corps Work Out | 04/03/2009 - by Sergeant James Ehrie USMC from I&I Staff Bakersfield, CA 4MLG 6ENGRSPTBN DET 2 Bulk Fuel Co A |
I am currently stationed in Bakersfield, CA on the I&I Staff at a reserve station Inspecting and Instructing the reservest preparing them for Deployments. I am the Training Chief here and have recieved 8hrs of training on the TRX in MCAS Miramar, CA. Prior to transfering to Bakersfield I was stationed at MCB Camp Pendleton and have deployed 3 times. On my third deployment i was casevaced back to the states after taking concusions to the back multiple times. So my time in the gym or pt for that matter was done. I was concerned with working out and my back problem. So when i was due to attend this training i was afraid that my back would be an issue again. The TRX is in my opinion a low impact work out that strengthens the core (which every Surgeon told me to build to support my back) works great and i did not have a problem using it. Now i use it 3xs a day 4xs a week. It's amazing and a great tool for not only the military but civilians alike. Semper Fidelis

| The best all-around piece of equipment I've ever used | 05/26/2009 - by SSG Mary Bergman USA from Texas |
I am currently enrolled in Physician Assistant training at Ft. Sam Houston. With the long hours and intense class schedule I've had very little time for PT. I bought my TRX FORCE Kit just over a month ago and absloutely love it. In the first four weeks I have already developed the best definition I have ever seen in my arms and shoulders. In about 20-30 minutes I can get a full workout that is intense enough to leave me sore and sweating. I love the fact that I can adjust the intensity during a set by just moving my feet, no weight plates to change and no time lost. And as a former Pilates fanatic I am impressed with the way all the exercises force you to engage your core and use your accessory muscles. I am getting definition in places I didn't know had muscles. I have also spent the last year fighting a persistant rotator cuff injury. Since I started using the TRX, it has completely resolved. The only downside is that it's so portable I don't have any excuse not to work out when I travel. In fact, I took it home over a long weekend and my husband and one of my best friends were so impressed that they both immediately ordered their own.
The DVD workout is only moderately useful as it is set up for weeks 5 and 6 of the 12 week program, however the section demoing the exercises is very well done, showing all the modifications to make the exercises harder or easier, depending on your current fitness level. That definitely clarified some of the exercises versus just looking at the book. The book is waterproof and I like to use a dry-erase marker on the example pages to remind me how many reps and sets I have, plus any reminders on form so I don't have to flip back and forth between the pictures and the set lists.
This really is a fantastic product and I am so happy I finally spent the money to get it.
Thanks!

| The TRX system is amazing | 06/12/2009 - by Fitness Anywhere Customer from US |
The TRX system is an amazing piece of equipment. Not only is it versatile but it is also portable and very robust. You can take this thing anywhere you go and do a killer workout to your hearts content. My wife and I have used our TRX on camping trips, weekend trips to Boston and New York, and also just around the house. With the TRX there is no excuse to not do a great workout. Thank you for designing a great product and keep coming out with the great ideas.

| Awesome! | 06/11/2009 - by Todd Smith from Waukesha, WI |
4 years in the Marine Corps, and I've never had a more intense workout! The routines in your training manual are demanding to say the least. I have used several different home gyms over the past few years and the TRX system is by far the most effective. Simple, efficient and tough, It doesn't get any better than that!

| WOW, Great workout | 06/01/2009 - by Ben Jenkins, CSCS from Annapolis, MD |
As a fitness director/ personal trainer I have used a lot of equipment, but the TRX system is one of the best I have used. I bought it looking for a change up for some clients, and as I used it to learn how to teach it, it has now become a very key part of my workout! I have reccomended many to buy it, including my brother who is incorporating it into his military training regimen. Great Product.

| TRX force | 05/13/2009 - by Tushar Patel M.D. from Irvine, CA |
This is a nicely designed work out device that really works your core. I was wiped out after doing the first strength worout on the Force DVD. I look forward to my improvements. I dig it!!!

| Excellent Workout | 05/06/2009 - by Ken Thompson from Georgia |
As a 48 year old over the road truck driver, I am always looking for ways to get in a workout. I consider myself in good condition; I can run a mile in 8 minutes. Parking a semi at a gym isn’t feasible. My workout inside the truck consists of dumbbells, strength builder and sit-ups. When at the operating centers, I use the treadmills and elliptical trainers. After receiving the TRX Force I am going to be able to get in a complete workout anywhere everyday. Thank you for this great product.

| Awesome workout | 04/28/2009 - by Jeff Montgomery from Oklahoma |
I considered myself in pretty good shape, working out 3 times a week on my home gym. After seeing your product and reading some reviews I had to try it. Like I said I work out 3 times a week, after the first workout I was sore in places I didn't think you could get sore in. I could feel it deep in my core. After only the third week I feel so much better. I highly recomend the Force Program to anyone.

| Unbelievable | 03/21/2009 - by Michael Kekaha from Maui, Hawaii |
I'm an Adult Corrections Officer that sits in a control box for eight hours a day with nothing to do most of the time. Needless to say, thanks to all the sitting, I've picked up some unwanted weight. After trying my Lieutenant's just once and I knew this was the piece of equipement for me. Now I can work out without leaving my post or just about anywhere!! This is an outstanding product that I will not hesitate to recommend to everyone!

| Force trainer bundle-excellent product | 02/28/2009 - by John from Portland |
I was introduced to the suspension trainer by a trainer that I work with. It is an excellent product and ideal fitness tool. It allows me to develop workouts tailored to my training needs as a competitive swimmer. It also allows me the freedom to train at home since I already spend much my training at the pool. It is versatile and durable. I have introduced a few of my friend to it and they have already purchased their own. The real treat is being able to use it outdoors when the weather allows.

| good stuff | 02/26/2009 - by Bowne Wildcats from New York City Dept. of Education |
I'm a NYC H.S. gym teacher, i bought one last year, the military version. I like it & my students like it. I like the core training aspect & the limited rest interval when going from one activity to the next. Body weight training is the future, my school is purchasing them. The work outs are tough or easy... you decide by moving your feet.

| fantastic product | 12/31/2008 - by Jeff from California |
I was introduced to this product while deployed and have finally purchased one of my own. I can't wait for my order to arrive in the mail and am thinking about purchasing one as a gift for a friend. A really versatile and mobile product, I can't imagine an easier, more interesting way to keep physically fit. Much gratitude and appreciation for the inventors of this great product.

| Bring your routine with you | 11/25/2008 - by Tom from US Army |
This product is fantastic. The trainer is of excellent quality, and the program book and DVD are informative and a great workout. Both are well worth the money.
The best thing about this trainer is the ability to take your routine with you anywhere. Military vehicles are full of mounting points and it packs so small that taking it along doesn't require a second thought. So even when you have no idea what equipment will be available where you are going you can continue without missed days or exercises. I will not go anywhere without it!

| Don't wait | 11/25/2008 - by J from New Zealand |
When I first read about the TRX and this program I got really excited and ordered one. The only problem was that I let work and other commitments get in the way of using this for over a year.
A couple of weeks ago I started to apply the program, and now I just wish I could go back in time a year and kick my ass into using it earlier. In a word it is brilliant and after only a short period of time I'm starting to feel the improvements and I can't wait to see how far I can progress with this in the remaining weeks of the program.
If you are thinking about buying this I'd say its well worth it - just don't be like me and leave it lying around idle.
