like?
Suspension Training Course:
Designed by experts for the fitness professional who wants to harness the
full potential of the TRX Suspension Trainer, this course teaches you how to
incorporate the TRX into your clients' programs and how to grow your training
business. In this class you'll learn over 70 TRX exercises, in detail, as well
as all the benefits and target muscles of the exercises; how to properly perform
and "cue" the exercise; and modifications and progressions to adapt the
exercises to every fitness level. You'll also learn how to design your own TRX
programs by following suspension training principles, using smart TRX exercise
selection, and studying case scenarios to challenge your knowledge.
Group Suspension Training Course:
In this class you'll learn how to teach TRX Suspension Training in a small,
large, or boot camp-style group format. Importantly, this class will help you
create fun and innovative classes adaptable to all fitness levels. You'll not
only learn TRX suspension training fundamentals, but how to incorporate a range
of TRX strength and flexibility exercises into a group training format. In this
class you'll analyze two workout formats and learn how to perform and properly
"cue" the exercise; how to adapt exercises to all fitness levels with
modifications and progressions; and how to identify common faults. Plus, you'll
receive workout templates that will enable you to create your own TRX workouts,
according to TRX teaching guidelines and program design principles. When you're
finished with the Group Suspension Training Course, you'll be armed with lots of
practical ideas on how to set up your group class and launch your own TRX Group
