TRX Force Kit reviews and testimonials

TRX FORCE Kit 3-8-2010 - by K Will from , DE

First time using the force kit..thought it was worth the effort. It's been 12 hours and I'm smoked. Great workout!!

Simply Awesome 1-27-2010 - by Mike from ,

Okay, so I am 16 years old and currently a junior in high school. I have been doing martial arts for the past six years and wanted to bulk up to reach higher weight classes. I must admit the TRX did a whole LOT MORE than that! While being busy junior year with all these papers, tests, and fitting time to hang out with friends I was looking for a product that could assist me training at home and this product did just that. It helped me more improve my flexibility which helps my BJJ improve too and also tone my body and gain more strength. This product DOES what it promises, it won't make you a kimbo over night, though over those few weeks following that program you will improve. Overall it was great, only downside is its price(espically for a 16 year old) which is quite high. Nothing can beat using your own body to work out and the TRX helps you do just that x100. Great product overall!

TRX Rocks 12-12-2009 - by Milt from Rockledge, FL

I just used the TRX for the first time today. I was impressed at how simple it was, but yet effective. It is amazing that how compact it is. I bought it since I plan on doing a lot of traveling and did not want to depend on the typical hotel gyms, that are usually disappointing.

Best Exercise in my 16 years of military service 11-26-2009 - by Jonathan Kusy from Yokota AB,

I cannot express enough satisfaction with this product and the workout guide. I have just completed week 9 of the workout and I feel amazingly stronger and in the best shape I have been in for years. I had my third shoulder surgery in June and by the end of November on week 9, I could complete 10 reps on the incline pushup with absolutely no pain. My shoulder is stringer and I have been in less pain these last few months than I have in last 9 years. I have suffered from arthritic pain in other joints as well, but the pain is significantly less since I started working out with the TRX. Awesome product that I recommend to everyone!

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.

Life Savour 10-11-2009 - by Sam Norton from Canadian Forces,

I cant express enough how much this lightweight and simple piece of equipment can deliver an extremely well rounded workout. It kept me up in my downs and fit through my mission.

Loving it 10-6-2009 - by Robert van Vuuren from Netherlands Europe,

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

Great Product 10-5-2009 - by Michael Rappaport from Los Angeles, CA,

Incredible product. Great videos here. Thanks a lot. This exactly what I need to stay in shape when I'm at home or traveling. Great for doing some stretches on Sundays when I'm watching football.

perfect workout 9-28-2009 - by MONTY JONES from JACKSON POLICE,

I THINK IS THE BEST THING GOING BECAUSE IF THE MILITARY USE IT FOR TRAINING IS GOT TO BE THE BEST.I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN TRAIN EVERY BODY PART SAFLEY

Oil is Black Gold TRX is Green Gold! 9-25-2009 - 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.

Where are the <5 star reviews? 9-23-2009 - by Elaine from ,

I don't believe it when I see only ***** reviews. Surely someone somewhere was not 100% happy or at least had suggestions for improvements. Admit it.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9-3-2009 - by nikolas from france, germany,

Hi i would like to say that the RRX is an amazing tool. IM trainer in Paris and Berlin and lot s of my clients are so surprised what we can do and how efficient it is...

Light and Versatile 8-27-2009 - 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 8-26-2009 - 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 8-23-2009 - 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 Real Deal 8-5-2009 - 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!

Best way to workout yet! 8-3-2009 - 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 7-15-2009 - by Eric from ,

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 7-3-2009 - 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.

I highly encourage people to buy this product. 6-19-2009 - by Ashley Mohr from Dulles, VA US,

The TRX is a great piece of equipment. I am a Female in the Marine Corps and this has helped me in so many ways. It has increased my upper body stregnth and improved my Physical Fitness Test. I highly encourage people to buy this product.

The TRX system is amazing 6-12-2009 - by from ,

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! 6-11-2009 - 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 6-1-2009 - 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.

The best all-around piece of equipment I've ever used 5-26-2009 - by SSG Mary Bergman USA from Texas,

I am currently enrolled in Physician Assistant training at Ft. Sam Houston. With the long hours and intense class schedule I've had very little time for PT. I bought my TRX FORCE Kit just over a month ago and absloutely love it. In the first four weeks I have already developed the best definition I have ever seen in my arms and shoulders. In about 20-30 minutes I can get a full workout that is intense enough to leave me sore and sweating. I love the fact that I can adjust the intensity during a set by just moving my feet, no weight plates to change and no time lost. And as a former Pilates fanatic I am impressed with the way all the exercises force you to engage your core and use your accessory muscles. I am getting definition in places I didn't know had muscles. I have also spent the last year fighting a persistant rotator cuff injury. Since I started using the TRX, it has completely resolved. The only downside is that it's so portable I don't have any excuse not to work out when I travel. In fact, I took it home over a long weekend and my husband and one of my best friends were so impressed that they both immediately ordered their own.

TRX force 5-13-2009 - by Tushar Patel M.D. from Irvine, CA,

This is a nicely designed work out device that really works your core. I was wiped out after doing the first strength worout on the Force DVD. I look forward to my improvements. I dig it!!!

Excellent Workout 5-6-2009 - by Ken Thompson from Georgia,

As a 48 year old over the road truck driver, I am always looking for ways to get in a workout. I consider myself in good condition; I can run a mile in 8 minutes. Parking a semi at a gym isn�t feasible. My workout inside the truck consists of dumbbells, strength builder and sit-ups. When at the operating centers, I use the treadmills and elliptical trainers. After receiving the TRX Force I am going to be able to get in a complete workout anywhere everyday. Thank you for this great product.

Awesome workout 4-28-2009 - by Jeff Montgomery from Oklahoma,

I considered myself in pretty good shape, working out 3 times a week on my home gym. After seeing your product and reading some reviews I had to try it. Like I said I work out 3 times a week, after the first workout I was sore in places I didn't think you could get sore in. I could feel it deep in my core. After only the third week I feel so much better. I highly recomend the Force Program to anyone.

Marine Corps Work Out 4-3-2009 - by Sergeant James Ehrie USMC from I&I Staff Bakersfield, CA 4MLG 6ENGRSPTBN DET 2 Bulk Fuel Co A,

I am currently stationed in Bakersfield, CA on the I&I Staff at a reserve station Inspecting and Instructing the reservest preparing them for Deployments. I am the Training Chief here and have recieved 8hrs of training on the TRX in MCAS Miramar, CA. Prior to transfering to Bakersfield I was stationed at MCB Camp Pendleton and have deployed 3 times. On my third deployment i was casevaced back to the states after taking concusions to the back multiple times. So my time in the gym or pt for that matter was done. I was concerned with working out and my back problem. So when i was due to attend this training i was afraid that my back would be an issue again. The TRX is in my opinion a low impact work out that strengthens the core (which every Surgeon told me to build to support my back) works great and i did not have a problem using it. Now i use it 3xs a day 4xs a week. It's amazing and a great tool for not only the military but civilians alike. Semper Fidelis

Unbelievable 3-21-2009 - by Michael Kekaha from Maui, Hawaii,

I'm an Adult Corrections Officer that sits in a control box for eight hours a day with nothing to do most of the time. Needless to say, thanks to all the sitting, I've picked up some unwanted weight. After trying my Lieutenant's just once and I knew this was the piece of equipement for me. Now I can work out without leaving my post or just about anywhere!! This is an outstanding product that I will not hesitate to recommend to everyone!

Great Workout 3-10-2009 - by Mike from Wisconsin,

I am a former Marine who quit smoking and took a pretty good break from PT for the last few years. Needless to say, I've put on some weight which has affected my overall fitness and ability to keep up with the guys in my adult hockey league. TRX was recommended to me by a couple friends who are still in the service. Since purchasing, I haven't been this sore since boot camp!

It's very amazing 3-2-2009 - by AARON from ,

It's very amazing to have this in my gym,i need more muscl broad chest strong fist and hand.This is the right tool to build the body and improve the strength.

Force trainer bundle-excellent product 2-28-2009 - by John from Portland,

I was introduced to the suspension trainer by a trainer that I work with. It is an excellent product and ideal fitness tool. It allows me to develop workouts tailored to my training needs as a competitive swimmer. It also allows me the freedom to train at home since I already spend much my training at the pool. It is versatile and durable. I have introduced a few of my friend to it and they have already purchased their own. The real treat is being able to use it outdoors when the weather allows.

good stuff 2-26-2009 - by Bowne Wildcats from New York City Dept. of Education,

I'm a NYC H.S. gym teacher, i bought one last year, the military version. I like it & my students like it. I like the core training aspect & the limited rest interval when going from one activity to the next. Body weight training is the future, my school is purchasing them. The work outs are tough or easy... you decide by moving your feet.

Oh My Gosh Becky, Look at MY Butt 1-23-2009 - by Julian from Corona, California,

I just got my TRX Force Training Kit last week and WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I am a former Marine and thought I knew everything about fitness. This is the best thing since sliced bread and now I have my wife and kids using it as well. Keep it up. Hope to see a kids TRX video in the near future.

fantastic product 12-31-2008 - by Jeff from California,

I was introduced to this product while deployed and have finally purchased one of my own. I can't wait for my order to arrive in the mail and am thinking about purchasing one as a gift for a friend. A really versatile and mobile product, I can't imagine an easier, more interesting way to keep physically fit. Much gratitude and appreciation for the inventors of this great product.

Bring your routine with you 11-25-2008 - by Tom from US Army,

This product is fantastic. The trainer is of excellent quality, and the program book and DVD are informative and a great workout. Both are well worth the money.

Don't wait 11-25-2008 - by J from New Zealand,

When I first read about the TRX and this program I got really excited and ordered one. The only problem was that I let work and other commitments get in the way of using this for over a year.

The TRX allows us to keep fit wherever we are 10-29-2008 - by SB2(SWCC) Blue Jones from Special Boat Team 12,

About a month ago on behalf of my team I ordered 11 TRX force training kits, and they have been a great hit. When I'm not at the Team I am an aspiring strength and conditioning coach and Crossfit trainer, and I can tell you that few training tools on earth can deliver as good of a conditioning modality in such a compact (and portable) unit. After integrating TRX training into our daily PT schedule I have received an unbelievable amount of good feedback from my team mates both at home and Down-range. Everyone wants one of their own!

Better than expected 10-11-2008 - by A. C. from Lansing, Mi,

When I bought the TRX, I was afraid it would not give me enough lower body exercises. Well, after only two weeks, I'm glad to say that's no longer a concern.

Amazing Workouts - A must have product 9-23-2008 - by John from Virginia,

I could not believe the results. As a Recon Marine and strength and conditioning coach I have seen and done a lot of different kinds of workouts. I must be able to preform at a very high levels. I was very skeptical when I first heard about this product, but the TRX exceeded my expectations. I was able to get a great workout that I noticed immediately. My strength shot up and I noticed a difference in how I looked in only a few weeks. A big deal for me since I have been training for years. The very fast adjustments to change the intensity can really give a demanding workout for any experience level.

Old Soldier 8-10-2008 - by SSG Rodgers from U. S. Army,

For us older soldiers who still want to train and maintain our fitness level the TRX is great. I never liked loading up and going to a gym so this makes things a lot easier. I can do two workouts a day if I choose and do the workouts outside or if the weather is bad I do them in the house or hotel room or if I am deployed I do the workout anywhere I set up. After completeing the exercises I do 15 minutes of simple static and balistic stretching.

WOW 8-8-2008 - by Travis from CA,

I just got mine in the mail today and I had been waiting anxiously for it to arrive, and the moment it did I immediately opened it and the first thing I noticed was how sturdy everything was including the nifty bag that it comes with. once I had it out of the box I ran up stairs to try it out, the DVD was very helpful and it was fairly easy to follow (if I took the time to watch the exercise demos on the DVD it would have been easier) I found this to be very fun and entertaining to use, and I think it will prove to be an indispensable tool in anyone's quest for greater levels of fitness

The Ideal piece of Excersise Equipment 7-28-2008 - by Lance Medina from Torrington CT,

I am 17 years old and hope to someday(Lord Willing) to become a United States Navy Seal. I have for a while been doing the whole pushup, pullup routine for a while. Though vital for the PST it does get old after a few months of the same routing. My Uncle while I visited him in Maryland(retired Navy) gave me the TRX force kit. He bought it at a Special Forces show and decided to give it to me to try to enhance my performance. I just started using the TRX and man I stand amazed at how simple, portable and effective it is. I believe that adding this piece of equipment to your fitness "toolbox" is a must for anyone eho wants more than a showboat workout. I am going to college this year and already plan on taking the TRX with me to my dorm room. I just can't beleve how well it works. There are no gimics or sales pitches that appeal as much as a product that does what it is suppose to and the TRX does that and so much more.

TRX - Suspension Trainer Course 6-26-2008 - by Sandy Burlison from England,

I love TRX! I flew from England to Chicago Dec 2007 to take the one day TRX Trainer Course. Yes I'm a mad Limey! It was fantastic! I got to meet lots of lovely Americans, had a real hoot, learned so much about good form and couldn't believe the variety of exercises that can be performed. I am a Personal Trainer and I love to introduce people to TRX. After an accident,in the military,which left me housebound and getting around in a wheelchair for eleven and a half years, it is so much fun to do and is helping me to get stronger day by day. To get myself back to health I set myself a programme of Navy Seal, Royal Marine Commando and Tae-Bo workouts. It took me three years but with TRX, I can now show a clean pair of heels to the youngsters (I'm 47). Use TRX, never give in and never quit. I may never be the best trainer in the world but with TRX I will be the best I can be. Good luck everyone.

Great Design. Great Idea. 6-25-2008 - by Matt Purtle from CPT, US Army, AVN,

One of the coolest workout items I have ever used. Great design, great idea. Thanks!

Go to the Park and have some Fun 3-27-2008 - by Dr Ken Lounsbury from San Diego, California,

I love to work out, my wife loves to work out... but we both are tired of the gym. I was looking for something to help develop functional strength not so much cosmetic body sculpting. My wife is a fitness fanatic and wants us to find ways to train together (though we cycle, yoga, and run together). Since she is a small woman, at the gym we are constantly putting on and taking off weights... ugh for me since I am the one doing it (even though it helps develop functional strength so this statement is a bit ironic)

This is gonna hurt! 3-27-2008 - by wayne from C CO 141 BSB,

I've been using the Force TRX consistantly and I can honestly say I have worked muscles I didn't know even existed. The results speak for themselves. I used to ride bulls and developed low-back spasms; they still exist but less frequent. Now, as the XO for C CO 141BSB, my hope is to integrate this simple (yet exhausting) system into our PT regimen. We have soldiers that have difficulties in finding time and equipment to work out with when we deploy. The Force TRX should prompt them to keep-up on their workouts when stuck out in the middle of nowhere. The system is easy to use and the exercises work as they claim. This is one workout I actually look foward to. I don't have to have a gym membership, I can hook it up anywhere (a moving HUMVEE is not wise by the way), it is extremely portable, it's tough, and I get odd stares form "on-lookers". The system is wonderful.

Trx Force Trainer 3-27-2008 - by PH from Singapore,

TRX is a brilliant invention:

Best piece of kit 3-26-2008 - by Rich from midwest police officer,

I have used many types of fitness gear over the years and the TRX Force Trainer is by far the best. If you want to amp up your conditioning the TRX is peerless. It will spotlight your weak points and bring your functional fitness to new levels. The workouts are short, intense and progressive. If you wear body armor or hump heavy loads for a living, check out the TRX Force Trainer, you won't be disappointed and your back will thank you.

As good as advertised 3-13-2008 - by Dave from ,

I purchased one of these about 2 months ago and have been using it steadily. It really does a great job of replacing the gym entirely. I was surprised that I kept my size and strength and actually added some bulk in certain areas. The leg workouts are really challenging and the upper body exercises are great. Depending on the reps/rest periods you can your heart going a quite a bit. I was happy to find that my wife (who is recovering from 6 months bed rest after multiple ankle surgeries) could use the TRX simply by changing the angle of the exercise. Some of the more intense exercises do require balance, but they are generally managable.

amazing 3-11-2008 - by James Ouimet from Sudbury, ontario, canada,

TRX has changed the way I look and train. After 18 years of competitve hockey and hard training, I decided to find something I can do anywhere. Whithout knowing the product I still took the chance on buying it. Wow it does what they say and much more. Better then lifting weights.

Mother of 2 loves the TRX 2-18-2008 - by Jennifer Steele from Safety Harbor, Florida,

I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely LOVE the TRX system.

TRX- Suspension Trainer Course Rocks 2-15-2008 - by Emerald from Franklin Tennesse,

I am a home fitness user, not a trainer. I wanted to learn everything I could about the TRX. I'm taking the trainer on an extended trip, and did not really have enough time to spend multiple sessions with a trainer. I flew from Nashville to Philadelphia for the the class, and even with the extra travel expense, I left the class feeling it was well worth it.

For all ages 1-31-2008 - by from ,

I'm 64 and in reasonably good shape. I was taken by surprise on how well and durable the TRX is constructed. I love the military DVD along with the exercise journal which are of extremely high quality. I've tried all the exercises and in many cases have to modify to account for my level of fitness. I've been a big fan of body weight exercises for some time, but the suspension aspect puts a new dimension on many of the standards, like push ups and body rows. There are also a host of exercises that are new to me. It's also clear that with the exercises while you may be challenging many different muscles, it is core all the time. I clearly feel it at the end of my exercise sessions. Highly recommended and should last a good long time.

the thing is legit 12-9-2007 - by Duncan from ,

I first started using the TRX with my trainer over at Equinox Fitness. At first, I was a bit skeptical and the exercises seemed a little uncanny. However, the thing works the body all over. I loved it so much, I got my own for home use. The only thing preventing the 5 stars is that the DVD it comes with and other various videos I've seen are a little thin on substance. Not everyone has a trainer to show all the different exercises and how to use it. Otherwise, the quality and diversity of the product is outstanding.

great support 10-23-2007 - by Don Bohannon from Tybee Island GA,

I ordered the TRX after reading the blurb in SI last spring about Drew Brees' use during his shoulder rehab.I initially struggled with the exercises due to my lask of balance and strength, and put it away. I got it out just recently again after becoming re energized thru the Younger Next Year books and website. I am using it in lieu of the weight training. Challenging for my age group, but I haven't "hurt" my self overdoing my overdoing. Plus I have have had EXCELLENT email support/advice from the Fitness Anywhere Staff ( thanks, Kim) regarding applicability of various exercises mixing w my primary aerobic work ( Nordic Track) and age.Requirement for and enhancementof balance then core strenght, is important as one stares 60 in the face.

Great Product, with one exception... 9-28-2007 - by from ,

I love this product and love the techniques that come with it. The only thing that I would change is the door anchor, I have had one door anchor and used it enough that the anchdor threads broke. The second one that I have received is starting to wear down a little. Maybe there can be another method of construction.

Impressed 9-25-2007 - by MG from Indiana Police Officer,

I have completed 9 weeks out of the 12 week TRX Force Training Kit. It has worked for me.

Outstanding! 9-22-2007 - by LH from Manhattan Beach, CA,

This system is user friendly for the athletic population to seniors & everyone in between. I have yet to put a client on suspension training that doesn't immediately exclaim "I love this!" THANK YOU for the ONE piece that allows for easy to extremely difficult exercises that are effective and fun! Absoutely mandatory for anyone involved in fitness, period.

From Injury to Peak Performance 9-21-2007 - by Michael Lenneville from New York, New York,

Two days before New Years I herniated a disc badly enough to require surgery. The pain was so extreme that I was literally on my back for a month and a half, popping vicodin and percoset every four hours. The TRX Force Training Kit was my answer to two months of enforced bed rest and six weeks of "taking it easy". I can positively say that I am now in the best shape of my life with greater mobility and strength than I had pre surgery.

wow 9-19-2007 - by Customer from new york,

im keep this short and sweet....

Back Surgery Rehab 9-19-2007 - by Bill from Tacoma,

The system is ideal for me. I am a cross trainer, but have been limited by a back condition, for which I had major decompression sugery on 5 vertabrae. I am now at a fitness level way beyond what I had in a long time. The trainer gives me the core felexibility and stability workout I need without any undue stress on my back. I always feel exhilerated after I use it. I took it into the Y to show it off and the Y is buying some ass loaners for the members. I took it with me to Cabo on our vacation. Lika a portable gym!

Finally...A Great Purchase 9-19-2007 - by Darin from San Antonio, TX,

I've tried several pieces of equipment/styles of training in the past and this is a rare purchase that was worth it. I purchased the force training kit. I'm not military, but wanted a trx and use the military routine, so I went with it. If the amount I sweat is any indication, then I am really getting a great workout. I just started week 3 of the 12 week program, so I'm still doing just 1 set on most exercises (except for core, which is 2 during this phase). Even with just 1 set, I'm totally spent at the end. Having to engage my core on all the exercises is the kicker (and the killer). My wife works out with it twice a week and has noticed her core getting stronger also.

What to do when you travel a lot 9-19-2007 - by Ron from Atlanta,

I am on the road 5 nights a week. Most hotel gyms have several treadmills, a few weights, but only one multi-station machine, and they are poor at best. I have had the unit for a month now and found it is an excellent device to stay in shape while traveling. It has the advantage that it works slightly different muscle groups for a similar exercise in my gym. It doesn't take up any room in my luggage. For anyone who travels and wants to stay in shape, this is the best option I have found.

No excuses! 9-18-2007 - by DG from Suburban Philadelphia,

I am a cross-fitness training addict and count on the TRX! As the CEO of a large corporation, I travel frequently on business. When I travel, I count on the "Force training Kit" as my sole exercise and training regimen. The TRX trainer provides an awesome workout for all muscle groups and you can workout in the privacy of your hotel room with the supplied "door anchor". It is all anyone will need and will challenge the most fit individual. At home I use it extensively as does my wife and teenage children. The best part of this system is it's portability. I am taking a trip to Cental America this winter and will be packing the TRX as my fitness option. It is easy to pack it up and toss it into your luggage and it takes up very little space. As an avid martial arts practitioner (14+years) and fitness fanatic I can heartily recommend this product. Don't pass this product up if you have a serious commitment to fitness and have a busy travel schedule or an active lifetsyle. It truly is fitness anywhere!

Changes it All 9-18-2007 - by Chris Altizer from Chatham, NJ,

As a karate student and instructor I highly recommend the TRX system as a highly efficient, very effective approach to total body fitness. This system is highly flexible and has very few limits. I don't have a need to work with more than my own 170 pounds, and the TRX system allows me to determine what percent of my body weight I will work with. I have brought this system on the road and have it available at home and at work. My karate student/instructor wife also uses it to excellent effect in her own fitness regimen.

TRX 9-18-2007 - by James Taton from Parker, CO,

I love this thing except for the fact it brought out all of my weak spots. It looks easy but after about 5 minutes I was sweating big time. I am a pilot and love the fact that I don't need to find a gym on the road. All I need is a door, tree or park to get a complete work out.

The one piece to have 9-18-2007 - by Kelly Kerin from Cincinnati, OH,

After 40 years of training for sports and conditioning, I have extensively used barbells, Nautilus (the good old stuff) as well as obstacle course training. Lately I have gravitated towards incorporating kettlebells and clubbells and the elite rings, as I believe you should use all tools available. However, the TRX training system is becoming my favorite workout and has improved my core strength and more importantly for me, at age 52, it has greatly improved the flexibility in my hip joints - probably the most important area because if your hips and lower back are shot - your activities are severely limited. This is a must have product if you want to reach your potential.

Great Training Device 9-18-2007 - by Ron Cohen from Eastern Sierra Nevada, California,

I have worked with the TRX for about 15 months. It is unquestionably the best piece of fitness equipment I have ever used. I truly appreciate the raison d' etre of the device -- functional strength. My job -- running a mountain resort located at 9650 feet elevation in the High Sierra -- requires every kind of physical exertion. Not only does the TRX assist me in maintaining the strength I need, I have no doubt that it has helped me avoid injury on numerous occasions. I compressed my lower back while skiing about eight years ago, and subsequently I would reinjure my back about twice a year during seasonal periods of heavy work. Since incorporating the TRX into my fitness regime, I have completely avoided reinjury. Thanks!!

trainer kit 9-18-2007 - by Dawn Celapino from San Diego,

I lOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product & have been using it for a couple of years now. ( I had the original & upgraded), the only thing I would change is to put the website on the strap somewhere. I am a personal trainer & I work at various parks w/ it, people ask me about it & I can never remember the website! Also, do another training in San Diego so I can come again! That was fun!!

The Product of products 8-15-2007 - by Rich Coble, NFPT-CPT from Jacksonville, FL,

I have worked as a fitness coordinator for the US Navy Reserve for the past 6 years, and recently have acquired my civilian personal trainer certification as well. I have never used a product, neither her nor abroad, which has impacted my own workouts so quickly as the TRX Suspension System! I opened the package immediately upon receiving it and after just one 15 minute workout my body was on fire! The ease of use and the convenience of being able to take it with me makes this my ONLY piece of equipment! Thanks for taking my workouts, and consequently, the workouts of my clients, to a level I thought I would never even dream of attaining!

CORE-IFIC!!! 8-3-2007 - by Brad McCarty from NJ,

I was instantly addicted! As an avid rock climber I would highly reccomend it as a must have for all around core strength and stabilization training. It allows you to replicate many movements only found when actually climbing that you would have a difficult time reproducing in the typical gym environment. The 12 week integrated strength and cardio program is an easy to follow, well thought out addition that made getting right to work easy and efficient. These powerfull excersises keep your interest and leave you hungry for more. The system is super easy to set up. Being able to use it inside, outside, any time, any place, fold up into my back pack, spend less time waiting for equipment at the gym and more time with my family - All PRICELESS!!!
