I feel that incorporating the TRX training system into my clients workouts can take them to the next level, thus elevating my stock as a fitness professional, not to mention the "cool factor"! That is exactly what I would tell others it could do for them... the course is essential to learn how to use the system effectively.The entire team was great, the course was fun and I got an incredible workout!"

The course exceeded my expectations. It was carried out very professionally, so I felt I got my money's worth. The content was thorough and we had plenty of opportunities to try the exercises and ask questions. It was perfectly balanced with pairing the most important theoretical concepts with practical application. I also appreciated the way we were encouraged to interact and have fun together."

I've weight trained for 20 years and learned about muscles I have never felt! The TRX system is fantastic for working stability muscles. I truly enjoyed the training course and found it very valuable. Thank you!"
- Jo Ann Schaffer, Personal Trainer
I was highly pleased with the TRX course and the Instructor, Dr. Joe Martin. I felt the information was thorough and I now have a better comprehension of the system. I immediately began to use the TRX in the facility I work at with many varieties of patients. Whether they are an older patient with balance deficits or younger athletes recovering from an injury, I feel the TRX can assist them in achieving and/or surpassing their goals. Thanks for a great product."
- David L. Smith, PT, Cert. MDT
I totally left the Instructor Course wanting to revamp so much about the way I do business, train clients and train myself. I'm more excited about training and coaching clients on the TRX then I ever have been. I am glad to have this in my arsenal."
