Q: Do I need any other equipment?
The TRX, your body and bit of motivation is all you will
need to get a great workout! If you have other equipment available to you, it
can be integrated into your program to provide increased variety and different
challenge.
Q: What is the TRX Suspension Trainer™
Professional?
The TRX is the original bodyweight Suspension Training
system consisting of 12 feet of nylon-webbed straps, handles, and various
anchors that can be attached to any sturdy weight bearing base. Learn more
Q: What is the TRX made of? Is
it elastic?
No, the TRX is constructed of industrial strength soft
nylon webbing, so the resistance is generated by variable bodyweight and gravity
rather than the stretching of elastic bands.
Q: Is there a weight limit for
the size of person using the TRX Suspension Trainer™ Professional?
We
recommend a maximum user weight of 350 lbs. We performed a product design
testing that includes a 4 Times Load Testing. This means we take four times the
maximum user weight and load it on different parts of the TRX to ensure that the
product will not fail. So although the max user weight is 350 lbs, we have
actually loaded it with 1400 lbs.
Q: What is the difference between the TRX Suspension
Trainer Professional & the TRX FORCE Kit?
Both include a TRX
Suspension Trainer that are functionally similar. The TRX FORCE Kit has a
different color scheme and includes a TRX Door Anchor and the TRX FORCE DVD
& Guide. The TRX FORCE DVD & Guide is a complete 12-week strength and
endurance training program built for the needs of the tactical (military and
first responder) and other serious athletes.

& descriptive instructions. We also sell an assortment of TRX Training DVDs

Q: How much space do I need to train on the TRX?
To
be able to perform all exercises on the TRX, you will need a comfortable space
that is 6 feet wide and 8 feet in length.
Q: How do I know which exercises I'm supposed to
lengthen/shorten the straps for?
For suspended exercises (the ones with
your feet in the foot cradles) your TRX should be 8-12 inches off the ground.
When using the TRX for stability the handles should come to about the waist when
hanging free.
Q: The DVD that came with my TRX will not play. How do I
get it to work?
- Before playing your DVD, make sure it is clean. Wipe it with a soft cloth or
a T-shirt sleeve.
- Make sure that you are using appropriate equipment and software.\0x2020
Fitness Anywhere DVDs are designed to work with a DVD player.
- If you are attempting to play the DVD on a computer:
- Make sure the integrated player works with DVDs. Some older computers only
play CDs.
- DVDs require special software to play on a computer. For example, Windows
Media Player and Real Player will not play DVDs unless special plug-in is also
installed.
- You can download a plug-in to your computer that will allow you to play
DVDs.\0x2020 Follow the links below for more information on which solution is
