 Two thumbs up from a fromer Marine! | 06/11/2009 - by Scott Sullivan from US |
I bought the TRX Professional kit about 9 months ago and used it for about 3 months before purchasing the strength workout as well. I was very impressed from the first time I used the basic core routine and the express routine. I had come from a weight lifting background but had always felt that body weight exercises were really the most beneficial way to go with any fitness routine, but had never been able to find anything that really had the overall hard core component I was looking for, as well as the functional aspect that would really give me the best overall workout I could get. The TRX finally delivered on these needs for a perfect workout routine. After 5 months of using the basic routine I graduated up to the 3 month Force Training routine and loved it! It starts out slow for the first 6 weeks because it is a system that goes in 2 week cycles for 12 weeks getting progressively harder until by the 10th week you are doing 3 times the amount of work in half the time as when you started. I'm 47 years old, and weigh about 200 pounds at 5 foot 10 inches, and I can now do 30 handstand push-ups 2 minutes, and my core is seriously "hard core"! Thank you for developing such a great and simple tool for turning the human body into a fine tuned, fully functional machine! Lifting weight is for people who love to do little more than look in mirrors, the TRX workout will make it all real (totally functional) for you in ways you have to experience to believe!

| Great Product! | 05/13/2009 - by Justin J. Jackson from Mini-Cassia Criminal Justice Center |
I purchased the TRX after I had been reading fitness articles at Military.com regarding PT tests and how to improve my total fitness level. I purchased the product after much debate about whether it would be beneficial for me to do so and now that I am into my third week of the program I am happy with my decision. The Force Kit fits perfectly with my needs of training as I am a detention officer at the Mini-Cassia Criminal Justice Center in Burley, Idaho. I love how I can take this device with me anywhere and also all of the great information that comes with the kit. The TRX isn't just a fitness tool that leaves you on your own to learn and improve it comes with it's own network and community.

| Finally a challenging workout that kicks my backside!!! | 04/03/2009 - by Dr. Marie L. Socha from SHRR Consulting, Inc./Huntsville |
Thank you once again for providing a workout that challenges my endless energy. As the hyper-child in my household, I typically find it very difficult to find a workout that can challenge my store of unlimited energy. We had already purchased and used the TRX strength, core, and flexibility workouts (all were wonderful). But there it was, staring at us on the screen...the military workout. So, as a joint anniversary present to each other, my husband and I purchased the TRX force DVD and guide. I have to admit that it sat on the counter for 3 weeks...we were a little intimidated. However, it has now become a staple in my weekly workout. Workout two was the thing that made me smile the most. I actually had to work into it and do the modified version of the suspended incline press and atomic pushup, but I'm getting there. This is better than triathlon training! NOT TO BE MISSED!! So we looked on the web today and now we see the cardio training DVD...well, my birthday is coming up....!!! Thanks TRX! Keep them coming!!

| Superb workout to be combat ready | 02/04/2009 - by Leonard Santiago from San Diego (U.S. NAVY) |
This provides a great workout program for those getting ready to deploy or already deployed. The core work is INTENSE but all the exercises coupled with the work routine provided gives you a good overall HARD workout. You can adjust it to fit your current ability but the routine has truly challenged me. Strongly recommend this to any of my fellow service men or women any place, anywhere (on a Navy Ship at sea, military base in a foreign location, or just at home). Throw it in your seabag/backpack and bring the kit with you EVERYWHERE, a totally FUNGIBLE piece of equipment!

| Holy TRX! | 10/02/2008 - by Dana from Oswego, IL |
I'm new to the TRX family and absolutly LOVE it! I'm far from a military person, but this workout is GREAT! I'm on the 9th week of this 12 week program and have seen DEFINITE results. I had a baby 6 months ago and had started back to my normal workout routine 10 days after giving birth. It was mainly cardio with a little weights mixed in. I was back in my regular clothes pretty quick, but I still needed something to firm me back up. WELL, about 5 weeks into the TRX my husband really started to notice. He mentioned that he thought I was looking "a bit more trim these days". (Don't tell anyone, but this was after I was getting out of the shower) :) He kept staring.....and he shook his head and said, "whatever you're doing, keep it up!". I was so proud of myself and my newly firmed up body. I feel VERY proud of my body, every part of it. My abs, my arms, my legs, and my shoulders! Everything. Thank you TRX. I'm ready for a new workout but I'm not sure which one. Anyone have any suggestions???

| The answer to your deployment concerns! | 09/27/2008 - by Mike from FOB Lightning, Afghanistan |
This is a fantastic product. I own several TRX products and this is by far my favorite. The program progression is logical and well paced; conditioned athletes and novices alike will immediately reap real rewards from using this program. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get into TRX training or for current TRX addicts that are looking for a structured and balanced program to follow. Great job Fitness Anywhere!

| Great Workout! | 09/20/2008 - by Hayley Hollander from Co-Owner of Advanced Training Performance Las Vegas, NV |
I really enjoyed the workout on this DVD, the set times were challenging. I did feel like the 45 second breaks between sets were a little too long. Overall, very satisfied.

| Wow! | 01/18/2008 - by Dave from Ann Arbor, Michigan |
I've been using the TRX system for over a year and it is an effective way to build lean, functional muscle. I am 55 years old and, coupled with a consistent aerobic exercise program, I am in the best condition of my life. My golf game has improved significantly as the result of the functional strength and balance I've gained by using the TRX system.

| TRX and the Military Fitness Program | 10/02/2007 - by Jeff from West Virginia |
Executed with the proper protocol and INTENSITY, this is a solid program. At the top in the total body catagory of those I've used in over 25 years of military and law enforcement PT. Lends itself to a stand alone program or as a supplement to customize a routine.

| Military Program | 09/26/2007 - by Michele S from NY |
Love fitness anywhere. Tried the 12 week military program and it was a challange, personally not a runner and the program had a lot of it, didn't complete the 12 weeks got to 10 and the body shut down. Even though it was a hard 10 weeks I still enjoyed it and loved the TRX training part of the program. Still use the TRX training currently in my workout program but have eased off of the run. It is a great core workout program, as a pilates teacher I use it with clients and the love the challange, if you think your strong in the core get this and find that challange again.

| holistic fitness for women over 40 | 09/21/2007 - by Zoe Zuniga from Long beach CA |
I purchased your product not only for my own use and with my pilates students but to test out for reccomending on my website holistic-fitness-for-women-over-40.com The exercises are very adaptable for core training at any level and they are convenient for people to do who have little time to go to the gym or space for equipment in the home.

| Best workout I have ever done | 09/19/2007 - by Ryan Lagasse from Canada |
I love this workout, and since I am a personal trainer I have tried many different workouts on the TRX. I even have a few clients that do the workout also and they love it. I have never had a workout that makes my whole body good and tight without causing that real bad sore muscle pain the next few days. The mix of cardio and workouts is great for me and everyone else that has tried it. It has over preformed on every level and it still works like it is new. Great job and keep it up.

| Proceed With Caution! Highly Addictive!!! | 09/18/2007 - by Brad from NJ |
I purchased this gem along with the TRX training force kit but is a superb addition to any of the TRX systems. A well rounded and deeply thought through program geared for beginners right on through to the highly trained athelete. With most of my training now outside (YES) the rugged construction leaves a worry free mindset to drag it along, toss down next to you and get right to work no matter the condition. Added bonuses such as easy reference picture guides, added running programs and an optional rep count methedology using a second count as well as recomended rep counts turn a great training guide into an easily adaptable, highly tuned, don't leave home without it, must have peice of equipment! YOU ROCK FITNESS ANYWHERE!!!

| TRX | 09/18/2007 - by Richard from Biloxi, Mississippi |
The workout is great. As a member of the armed forces, I use this product extensively and with the high up-tempo of the military it is the one constant we have with fitness. Would like to have had a larger book specific to military with many more types of exercises. Other than that the workout is great.

| athletes love it | 09/18/2007 - by Jon Jeffrey from Houston, Tx |
When it comes do a great workout on the football field, forget running ropes, or doing drills. TRX is the conditioning machine for the athletes I train.
Thanks,

| Outstanding!! | 09/18/2007 - by Ryan from Grove City, Ohio |

| Rehash of other training materials | 09/18/2007 - by Spinchick from Temecula |
I purchased this training program thinking I would learn something new and exciting. It is pretty much the same information that available online, in the manual and the training DVD. I tried to return the system but was told I could not. I am disappointed in the military training program but I still LOVE, ADORE and HATE the TRX straps themselves.

| Military Fitness Program Rocks! | 09/18/2007 - by Josh from US |
I'm a broke college kid who can't afford a gym membership. This system is great to use in my dorm room. When I need a break from homework I can use my straps for 10 minuets, or so, and then immediately resume my studies. I was skeptical at first, but the results have definitely surpassed my expectations!
