The benefits of incorporating the TRX into your workout routine are many. You get an extremely functional workout as it allows for the use of multiple planes of motion and works multiple muscles and joints simultaneously. It is the perfect tool for….

• Delivering a fast, effective workout
• Developing strength and endurance
• Improving joint stability and muscular balance
• Mobility and flexibility
• People of all fitness levels (pro athletes to seniors)
• Getting a rock solid core!

“TRX trains for reactive stability” says Chris Frankel, head of human performance at TRX , “If your core isn’t tight you’ll lose balance on the straps. Bracing your core before you move becomes second nature. Something as simple as a bicep curl becomes a core stabilisation exercise.”

Or take the single leg squat….."most people don’t have the strength or balance to do a single leg squat on their own. TRX trains your ability to resist rotation in the hips and builds stronger hamstrings, glutes and core because you have to resist the force of your torso tilting or rotating. Often when you’re doing a 2 leg squat with body weight, you default to your weakest link and don’t notice if one hip rotates because you can counteract it with the other. When you have one leg off the ground all your weakness is exposed and you get immediate feedback.”

You have to use your core stabilisers to work out with the TRX. The fact that you can’t isolate any one muscle means that the exercises are much more functional than any machine in the gym.

It can also improve posture, help prevent injuries and increase your metabolic activity.
