    Hates Exercise, Loves TRX

    Hear from a real world person who will never set foot in a gym who needs a realistic solution for fitness.  I asked this client of mine to share her story as it shows the potential of the TRX as a realistic fitness solution for the masses.  Very powerful.

    About 2 years ago Jonathan Ross, my personal trainer, introduced me to the TRX and, simply put, I thought he was CRAZY!!  

    First, a little background: I am a 300 plus pound, 65 year old woman with 2 knee replacements, arthritis and spinal stenosis who absolutely HATES TO EXERCISE 

    I thought it was miraculous that Jonathan had gotten me to the point where I was working out with weights 3-4x per week and riding an adult tricycle. But, Jonathan’s enthusiasm was contagious, so, I gave TRX a try. Jonathan adapted some exercises to my needs and others were just like the videos at the TRX website; he demonstrated each exercise and then had me do it to ensure that I was doing it correctly.  

    It was a little confusing at first but I caught the hang of it and started using TRX 5x per week. I even started adding reps on my own. After about a week, using the TRX became intuitive and by using my own body weight, I know I’m getting a good workout.  I do all my workouts at home so the TRX was perfect for me; I attached it to one of the iron beams in my basement and it was perfect.  

    It’s just the TRX and me nothing more and certainly not less.

    And the results are amazing – more flexibility, easier stair climbing, better balance – but more importantly a feeling of accomplishment that by using the TRX, I have a system that works for my life, keeps me moving and healthy and is one that I can honestly say I enjoy.

    That's awesome! Big Smile

    I love to hear success stories like that. The TRX really is capable of anything to the ends of the imagination. And this story once again goes to show how superior the TRX really is for people of all age and fitness levels.

    Thanks for sharing that story. Definitely encouraging and inspiring. Smile
