Founded back in 1997, Navy SEAL Squadron Commander Randy Hetrick discovered Suspension Training through combining a parachute webbing and a jiu-jitsu belt. To this day, the military still use Suspension Training to maintain the fitness levels required to do what they do day in, day out. Thanks to the constant innovation of the TRX® team, the original Suspension Trainer has come on leaps and bounds since then.
Suspension Training uses straps that act as a form of resistance against the user’s bodyweight. The training revolves around seven basic compound movements: push, pull, plank, rotate, hinge, lunge and squat. These movements can, in turn, be developed into a multitude of workout options.
With Suspension Training, the biggest advantage is that it can go on the road with you to be used anywhere – a ‘gym in a bag’. This allows the user to achieve all the results of a full gym with just one set of straps.
As versatile exercise kit goes, it doesn’t get better than the Suspension Trainer - providing users with a full-body workout which increases strength, builds the core, burns calories, increases flexibility, and improves endurance. TRX straps can also help to mitigate the risk of injury as they are kind on the joints and users work on mobility and flexibility, as well as strength.
This exercise method is for people of all levels of fitness. It gives users complete control of their workouts, determining the difficulty of each exercise by adjusting the length of the straps or by altering the distance between the user and the anchor point. It is TRX’s mission to educate people from all fitness backgrounds, whether that is beginners or seasoned fitness professionals. As a business, TRX aims to empower and enhance its community and play a part in transforming people’s overall wellbeing.
Suspension Training is perfect for anyone trying to achieve their fitness goals, but it is particularly good for those with busy schedules. You can get a full workout from the comfort of your living room, allowing you to cut out the commute to the gym. It is also great for those who wish to keep an active lifestyle in tandem with frequent travelling. The ability to hitch up your TRX on almost any door or
attached to any vertical or horizontal anchor point overhead gives you the freedom to achieve your goals wherever you are!
If you’re a beginner and not sure how to get best use out of your TRX kit, there is the perfect solution – the TRX Training Club®.
