 Discover the amazing feeling.. | 11/14/2009 - by Ole Chr. Petterson from Norway |
.. of getting what you really want!
I have always been a fan of using my own bodyweight for workout. It gives you the perfect body no matter what results your looking for. But its hard, and sometimes difficult to adjust to your own strength. What I realized with the TRX is that it takes the concept of natural training to a whole new level. In short, it has everything you want it to be.
I am confident that this would be Bruce Lee`s choice number one for a tool that covers it all.

| TRX Force | 11/04/2009 - by mich. from US |
The TRX is literally the most versitile piece of machinery I have ever used. I'd trade my $500 dollar bench press for this $200 dollar TRX, any day. The way the TRX is designed is that it will leave the user exausted after every set. When I run through just one set of, lets say the bicep curl, the burning in my arms is far more insense than if I used any dumbell. The best part about the TRX is that you never need a spotter to help you get the extra couple of reps. All you need to do to finish off a set is move your feet a little further away from the anchoring point (for arm exersizes where you are grasping the TRX) and A little closer in leg exersizes (like the atomic push up). The TRX is a great piece of machinery, I was initialy scared off by its price tag, but after using it, I'd pay twice the price for this great product.

| Creative way to fit exercise in | 10/25/2009 - by 1st Lt Y from Baltimore MD |
I'm a Medical Service Corps officer in the Air National Guard. I don't have time to work out at home because of three little kids. Office days are busy. The TRX lets me get a regular workout in over my lunch break with the door accessory.
The results speak for themselves. Eighteen months ago before coming back into the service I was 208 and in bad shape. I started with Stew Smith's workout and got down to 175. I scored an 89 on my first AF fit test. Since adding the TRX to my routine, I added upper body and core strength as well as CV endurance. On my last fit test i scored a 97.5. Not bad for a 39 year old office pogue...

Sceptical when i bought it, was it once again a trick from the retailer? Then started tow work with it and men what a shock and suprise for me that it really worked. I now use it in my breaks at work as an extra workout and according friends with the required and desired results. More fit more contour. Easy to use, clear instructions lightweight and easy to handle. Thanks for the new training excersice and experience. Get in shape, get TRX'd

| Oil is Black Gold TRX is Green Gold! | 09/25/2009 - by Daniel Walton from Gulf of Mexico |
I work out but when I go to work in the off shore oil fields I find the lack of exercise space and equipment puts a real hamper to my goals. When on my ship or a rig space is critical so is weight. If you have a helicopter flight out to 300 miles offshore you can't pack the kitchen sink or all those barbells.
TRX has solved my problems with a light weight, scaleable result getting work out machine. I thought l could make this after reading about the TRX. I was wrong they really give you a quality piece of gear you can trust. I was unsure if body weight excercise would get me to my goals. Well I can tell you TRX makes you work! Sure I lift weights and all the gym stuff at home but I spend 8 months a year at sea and TRX is my new best friend!
Am I at my goals ? No, but I am getting there! Thanks

| Light and Versatile | 08/27/2009 - by Robert Jenkins from USAF, in the AOR |
I'm active Air Force and bought the TRX system because I needed something to keep me in shape while traveling to multiple Forward Operating Bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. The TRX saves me from having to find a gym everywhere I go, and takes the place of a gym when there is none. I've hooked it on to Hesco barriers, heavy equipment, M-Series vehicles and many other things. This system keeps me in shape when and where I want, and at 2 Lbs. I throw it in my assault pack and barely know it's there. The only suggestion I have for future customers is to wrap some medical tape around the grips before your boots tear up the foam. Other than that I am very happy with the TRX.

| Great Product | 08/26/2009 - by Todd from Baghdad (deployed) |
I just finished with the 12 week Force program and thought it was great. Prior to starting the 12 week program I was able to test it in various locations to include an overhead mount at home, the attachable door mount in a hotel and now a T-Wall mount at the Camp I am currently at; each location presented no problems for using the TRX after length adjustments were made. I did have a little bit of tearing on the foam of the handles as mentioned in the forums, but it is no big deal and is not occurring any longer. The durable booklet is a great idea but the heat of my location is causing some pages to un-laminate but again no big deal. One final recommendation would be to include a very thin yoga style mat with measurements marked on it to allow a TRX user to be able to replicate floor positions in reference to the TRX since moving a couple inches in towards or away from the mount position creates a large difference in effort to complete exercises. I was skeptical of this being a fad type exercise, but after completing the 12 week program I now prefer to advance this program rather than returning to a "gym" program. When does the "Advanced Force Training Plan" become available?

| Works Around Schedule | 08/23/2009 - by Capt K from US Air Force |
--Before my current assignment/location, I always had the opportunity to workout; at the gym and outside in the great outdoors. However, recently I've been assigned to a new 24/7 unit and the no longer have the luxury and time to go to the gym.
--The TRX Force kit helps with time management. Not only does it allow me to continue my workouts, but it has increased my strength, flexibility, and overall fitness in a way that I never was able to achieve before.
--On top of this, since I have the kit I can devote more of my time to my family. I have an 18 month old that I have only seen for about 12 months of her life.
--Thank you for understanding and catering to the military life.

| The Real Deal | 08/05/2009 - by Markus Boesch from The Fitness Underground-Los Angeles |
As a certified personal trainer with more than 25 years of experience, an acoomplished mixed martial artist, a former professional athlete and for the past four years co-owner of The Fitness Underground, a well respected personal training business based in Los Angeles- I've seen endless pieces of fitness equipment hit the marketplace over the years. Unfortunately more than 90% of theses products are worthless and highly ineffective. They are packaged and sold making promises they can't keep, they are costly and in most cases just ridiculous!
The TRX system is the first REAL pieces of fitness equipment that has come out in recent years to deliver all they promise (and then some). The TRX is simple and easy to use, highy effective, fun (so you stay engaged in your workout) well designed and built and is sold at a very reasonable price. In addition the company offers an amazing support system so the product can keep challenging you! Don't be fooled by flashy commercials and empty promises...Hook up your TRX and experience a real deal workout.

| Best way to workout yet! | 08/03/2009 - by Steven W from Minneaplis MN |
I purchased this about 5 weeks ago and I just did the week 5 strength 1 workout yesterday. I love the fact that you can do this outside. This is a great product and one of the best purchases I have ever made.

| Good all around equipment | 07/15/2009 - by Eric from US |
We are using this for our members that need to be ready at a moment's notice to respond to agency events. This is a great, portable, functional tool that hones, tones, and sharpens.

| My most favorite training tool | 07/03/2009 - by Kathi from MN |
"As a trainer I am always looking for "new tools for my tool box". I purchased my first TRX about 2.5 yrs ago after stumbling on to it via the web. My philosophy in training is to strengthen from the core out to the extremities. What a workout! I absolutely love it!!. I would bring into the gym to train my clients on. They were skeptical but soon found it delivered a tough workout but yet was suitable for any level of fitness. I purchased more and brought them outdoors for my boot camp clients. I really don't need anything else to deliver an ever changing, kick-butt workout. It's amazing how many exercises you can do with the TRX...it's never ending. I endorse it to all my clients, home gym users and busy travelers. They love how they can train for strength, cardio, flexibility and in all planes of movement. The DVDs and site info give you everything you need in terms of training and workouts to follow as well as certification courses What I like best is being able to train wherever I go, whenever I want indoors or out. Can't beat it.

| 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.
