The TRX Professional was our first introduction to the niche fitness of suspension training. We had been looking to incorporate suspension training into our exercise regime for a while after the excellent reviews throughout the fitness industry it was receiving. As we were travelling a lot more, a good suspension trainer would allow us to take our training on the trip and ensure our exercise never had to stop.

Like most, we were looking for a quality trainer that was portable, light-weight, and flexible enough to allow us to train anywhere.

The TRX Suspension Trainer seemed like the only choice after looking around on the internet so we bought. I’m not too sure what we were expecting… but this exceeded it. It feels well conceived, cleverly designed with excellent attention to detail, and is superiorly constructed. It’s hard to imagine finding a better product suited to it’s goal.

The TRX Pro comes with everything you need and a little bit more. Take for example the travelling bag to keep everything nicely together and compact, or the “KNOCK BEFORE ENTERING!” sign.. a nice touch which has probably saved us a few bruises on more than one occasion.

The mantra of ‘train anywhere’ is lived up to…. It has a cleverly implemented fastening technique in which the strap can be suspended from any stable, overhead structure using the carabiner. You can also connect the door attachment so that you have the flexibility to use the trainer in and around the home.

Being very light and compact means it’s a perfect product for travellers, and the TRX makes our suitcase on every vacation or business trip to help us stay in shape and maintain fitness away from home.

To cater for the various exercises that suspension training offers a trainer needs to be height adjustable and the TRX is… in seconds. To shorten the TRX trainer and perform standing exercises such as the chest press; simply press the metal clasp and pull the tab away from the handles. Conversely, to perform floor based exercises and extend the trainer to tone those abs and thighs; press the metal clasp and pull the suspension trainer handles away from the fastener. Easy.

At the risk of sounding short-sighted or perhaps outright biased we really tried to criticise the product and find fault, but couldn’t. As a suspension trainer the product does its job and it does it well and we have no complaints. I guess the question most important becomes - Will suspension training help me achieve my fitness goals? This is something only you can answer but we use the suspension trainer as one part of a larger regime, in combination with weight training and some cardiovascular work it covers off all our needs and provides a well-rounded routine.

To sum-up, if you are looking to get fit, tone up and want to take advantage of the many benefits that suspension training offers, suspension trainers don’t come any better than the TRX Professional. We would recommend this product to anyone.

The TRX Professional is available to buy now from Fitness Anywhere.
