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.

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.
