    Which is better the TRX system or the traditional gym

    What to you think is a better way of having a great workout? Since my friend cancelled our gym membership I would have to say the TRX system because of its portability.  The gym is also a great place for a good workout but having to wait for a machine to use can be a hassle.  This is true of those who don't have all day to workout at the gym.

    Even if a person started late,
    It's okay as long as you don't procrastinate,
    So get out there and do it.

     I was going to a local gym for it's yoga sessions, but the instructor cancelled the classes when she got a new job AND the gym raised prices. Plus, they did not have good equipment, nor would they let my son workout with weights (he is 13). So, HANDS DOWN the TRX wins. Plus, I can do a few exercises here and there (greasing the groove) and do a full-blown workout when I have more time. This allows me to be more fit in less time...AT MY CONVENIENCE and MY SCHEDULE!

    TRX HANDS DOWN.  I am in sales and on the road 4 days a week.  Looking for a gym was a pain in the ass and expensive.  I also worked out in gyms for years, without much results wise.  3 months on the TRX and my body has been transformed.  AMAZING!

    That stinks that your yoga classes had to be cancelled.  They should let your son use the weights because you can be there watching him use the equipment.

    I was a member of my local Bally's and had my friend had to cancel it because it was too much for him to pay for.  The TRX system is great for travel and since you travel so much it works best for you.  Joining gyms is a pain and some are a little overpriced.  I had the system for only about 2 weeks and already am feeling a difference.

    Why limit yourself. My answer would be both. Although if a gym isn't available, supplement your home gym with some dumbbells, and valslides. The more tools in your box, the more options you have for training.

    TRX is definately awsome, but I still like to get in some traditioninal strength training as well.

    Yeah both would be great to have, but for those you can't afford a gym membership can still have a great workout using the TRX system.
