TRX Suspension Trainer Home Gym Consumer Fact Sheet, Report and Hands-on Review

TRX Home Gym Overview
If you've never tried body weight exercises with a suspension trainer like the TRX, you don't know what you've been missing.

Body weight training has been around for decades and has been a staple of everyone from school kids to elite military forces to build core strength and muscle tone.

The TRX takes body weight training to the next level with a simple but ingenius design that makes traditional core strength building exercises 3 dimensional by taking them into the air.

The advantage of doing body weight exercises off the ground is that you can change the difficulty of the exercise by changing the angle of your body under the gym.

For example, if your a rank beginner with limited upper body strength and can't do a traditional push-up on the ground, you can easily position your body under the TRX in a more vertical position that will allow you to only use a portion of your body weight for resistance.

TRX Exercises at Home
Here's a picture of me doing a TRX push-up (a crappy picture that I need to redo) to illustrate my point above...

TRX Gym Body Weight Push-up Example

As you can see in the picture above, my body angle under the gym is more upright than a traditional floor pushup which allowed me to use less of my body weight as resistance to crank out a final set for my already tired chest.

The TRX is a great tool for training your entire body for functional strength and muscle, and even more effective for core training. Some of the ab exercises are so diabolical I don't recommend them to anyone but advanced trainers with a high level of abdominal and back strength.

TRX Core Strength Exercise

To say I'm impressed with the TRX gym would be an understatement, I've never trained on a piece of exercise equipment that's so versatile for functional core strength, and so small in size and weight.

Simple Effective Design
Don't let the simple design of the TRX Home Gym fool you into thinking it's one of those late night TV infommercial gimmicks like those ab machines or junky home gyms - the TRX is a serious home gym that's compact, efficient, durable and also easy on the wallet - you can get one for less than a night on the town – no “easy” payment plan required.
