“Thanks to the TRX, I got some really great workouts with my contestants this season. Watching them be challenged by working on something that requires such core strength, as well as sheer FULL body strength, I knew I had a great piece of equipment on my hands. I really LOVE this piece of equipment!” – Bob Harper Elite Trainer From Biggest Loser
The TRX Suspension Trainer has become incredibly popular with hardcore triathletes, runners, climbers and martial artists over the last couple of years.  But now a huge new television audience is finding out about the TRX Suspension Trainer.

The contestants on The Biggest Loser, one of televisions hottest shows have a brand new weapon to help them meet their weight loss goals – The TRX Suspension Trainer.

The TRX Suspension Training program is being incorporated into the The Biggest Loser gym and since then we’ve been getting great feedback from the show’s trainers, Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels.

If you’ve been paying close attention to past episodes you’ve seen the TRX Suspension Trainer in action.

As most people know, triathlon is an endurance sport in which an athlete must swim, cycle and run over a set distance. Professional and amateur triathletes are consistently some of the most fit athletes of any sport.

But for most triathletes, the benefits of core and strength training are outweighed by the fear of gaining too much bulk and the loss of flexibility. This is compounded by the fear that if they aren’t swimming, cycling or running then they are not making progress in their training.

Nick Grantham, strength and conditioning coach for GENR8 Fitness writes in the latest issue of Peak Performance (pponline.co.uk), “By and large the triathlon community has overemphasised the benefits of endurance-based training and underestimated the benefits of strength training.” Grantham goes on to say, “Typically the triathletes that I’ve worked with have had so little structural integrity that a resistance training programme to target their muscular weaknesses and imbalances had to be our first approach.”

Functional training using TRX Suspension Trainer solves this problem in a dramatic fashion. Triathletes are now able to get a world class core, strength and flexibility workout at home in the time it normally takes to drive to the gym.

Functional training with the TRX Suspension Trainer corrects muscular weakness and imbalances by developing basic muscle patterns to work at higher capacity.

Triathletes that workout at home with the TRX will notice that each functional exercise uses complete muscle activation and a purposeful movement pattern which allows for maximum strength gains while ensuring optimum flexibility.

For triathletes, using the TRX Suspension Trainer ensures that these core and strength training sessions are quality focused and highly efficient. Triathletes that workout at home can do a complete workout in 30 to 40 minutes.

There is no wasted time setting up machines or waiting for someone to finish an exercise. These exercises with the TRX are designed to be done back-to-back for maximum efficiency.

Hey Workout at Home Fans,

I wanted to share this great video with you where Boston Celtics strenth coach Bryan Doo talks about the benefits of the TRX Suspension Trainer.

The Boston Celtics have been using the TRX for the past four years.

It never fails to amaze me how a top rate team like the Boston Celtics does 80 percent of their on the road training with the TRX Suspension trainer when they could choose just about any type of fitness equipment in the world.

What is so cool about this is the fact that you can use the exact same equipment as top pro athletes and you can use the TRX at anytime and anywhere you choose to build functional strength that will make everyday activities easier.

In the video above Doo talks about how the TRX is even more effective if you are tall and how his atlete clients are surprised at how difficult some of the TRX functional strength exercises are.

And it is not just NBA players who use the TRX. Top athletes in all pro sports are using suspension exercise.

Athletes such as superbowl winning quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, MMA fighter George St. Pierre, Tennis star Melanie Oudin all use the TRX suspension trainer.

But you dont have to be an athlete to use the TRX.

The TRX is currently being used by people from all age groups and all fitness levels.

It is even being used by physical and occupational therapists to help rehap their patients who have sustained injuries.

Here are some benefits of working out with the TRX:

• The TRX sets up in seconds by attaching it to a door or outside to a tree or post.
• The TRX is extremely portable and can be stored in its pouch and be carried in a backpack
• You don’t have to worry about dropping weights with the TRX because it works by leveraging your body weight and gravity
• You can make a suspension exercise easier or more difficult by merely shifting your bodyweight 

Wow Workout At Home Fan,

This post will interest you if you are a basketball fan who is interested in slam dunking your fitness goals anywhere for a fraction of the cost of what you would spend on a home gym or gym membership.

I discovered that the Boston Celtics use the TRX Suspension trainer for nearly half of their off court training. In fact the Boston Celtics have been doing suspension exercise for the past four years and in 2010 they came very close to winning an NBA Championship.

The Celtics are betting that a revitalized suspension trained Shaq will give them the power and toughness that they have been lacking in the post.

Other notable NBA teams who have featured Suspension Exercise with the TRX are the Denver Nuggets and The San Antonio Spurs.

What may interest you the most though is that Bryan Doo the Celtic’s trainer says that “the TRX will help you to slam dunk your fitness goals as well… he says “anybody out there who wants a great tool that’s A: Easy to take along, B: has so many different functions, and C: is easily adjustable to every athlete or client .”

Doo also uses the TRX to train corporate and individual trainees and athletes through his business Optimal Fitness.

Be sure to read the entire article below about how Shaq and the TRX may take the Celtics to a 2011 NBA Championship.

The Celtics + Shaq + TRX = 2011 NBA Title?

By Andrew Vontz

With four years of TRX training under their belts, the Boston Celtics came excruciatingly close to an NBA championship during the ‘10 season. Since that seventh game loss to the Lakers, the Celtics have bolstered their lineup for another charge at the title in ‘11, most notably with the addition of Shaquille O’Neal. The TRX will again be a crucial constant in the Celtics’ training equation, comprising roughly half of the team’s off-court training with an emphasis on building strength.

The Celtics value the TRX for its portability, scalability and versatility as a total training solution at home and on the road. “We have an older group of players, and they like the TRX because they can control the resistance,” says Bryan Doo, the Celtics’ strength and conditioning coach (left). “When they’re tired, they can make it easier. When they need a challenge, it’s easy to make it more difficult. They like that they can adjust it to their specific needs.”

Hi Workout at Home Fan,

WOW! You have got to check this out…

You have probably heard that stars such as Jeniffer Lopez and Daisy Fuentes stay in shape by using the TRX Suspension Trainer but I just discovered that Fast and Furious Star Matt Schulze fighter got ripped after using the TRX for just two months.

Learn how to get fast, effective, total-body workouts with TRX Suspension Training at TRXTraining.com

It turns out that Matt Schulze discovered the TRX straps through his mother’s fitness trainer.

Schultze hired his mother’s fitness trainer to help him get in shape for his latest Fast And Furious movie.

At first he thought the straps were kind of lame but after using them to train for a movie he soon became a believer in suspension exercise.

If you have seen Matt Schulze recently then you will know that the results of his TRX Training speaks for itself.

The really cool thing about the TRX is that it is so amazingly portable.

The TRX Suspension Trainer was invented out of necessity by Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick because he and his fellow SEALs needed a way to workout when they were deployed to remote locations around the globe.

The TRX weighs in at less than 2 pounds yet quicly packs into a pouch to allow you to workout anywhere and at anytime.

You can attach it in seconds to a door and workout in the comfort of your home or attach it to a tree or post outside and workout outside .

You can workout on the exact same equipment that top pro athletes like Superbowl Champion Quarterback Drew Brees , Carmello Anthony of the NBA or MMA Fighter George St. Pierre use for just a fraction of the cost of a traditional home gym.

And unlike a home gym , every exercise that you perform on the TRX Suspension Trainer will serve to strengthen your core and abs as your body works to balance and stabilize itself.

You can perform over 300 core exercises with the TRX

The TRX fits Matt Schultze like a glove because he is able to take it with him on the road while he was working on movies and workout in his hotel room or even on the set of a movie.

Fast and Furious Star Trains on TRX

By Andrew Vontz

Now that the weekend is here, maybe you’re looking to unwind after a hectic week with a good movie tonight. Might we suggest The Fast and the Furious or perhaps Blade, two great action flicks featuring former MMA fighter and fanatical triathlete Matt Schulze.

The Hollywood star has access to every imaginable training resource and a physique that reflects his dedication to fitness. But after using the TRX Suspension Trainer, Schulze was so impressed with the results, he contacted Fitness Anywhere to share his experience.

“I’ve only been using the TRX for two months, and I got ripped,” he says, chuckling in disbelief.

Hi Workout At Home Enthusiast,

I found this great article that will interest you if you want to get a world class workout at home or anywhere with an extremely portable and affordable gym.

Or if you think you may want to buy a TRX but are not sure if it is right for you.

The article below is a great review and gives you the thoughts and experiences of several Canadians some of which are experiencing Suspension Training for their first time.

Although the TRX at first glance looks unimpressive …like some seat belt straps …it is used by some of the most elite pro athletes in the world…like Super Bowl Winning Quarterback Drew Brees….MMA champion George St. Pierre, the oldest pitcher in baseball Jamie Moyer,  and NBA star Carmello Anthony to name just a few…

The amazing thing about the TRX Suspension Trainer is that it sets up in mere seconds by attaching it indoors to a door or a wall with optional attachment bracket or outside to a tree, fence or post so that you can workout at home or anywhere.

Check out the article below to see what Canadians think of the TRX…

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Personal trainer Jennifer Marucci demonstrates an “atomic pushup” using the TRX Suspension Training equipment.

If you happen to stay up late enough to catch the persuasive infomercial on television, then you’ll know the unsightly contraption is actually a piece of fitness equipment that’s supposed to get users muscled up, no dumbbells required.

It’s called the TRX. Super Bowl-winning quarterback Drew Brees reportedly uses the system to stay in shape.

Developed by an American Navy SEAL who made the original TRX out of sewn-together parachute webbing, the suspension training system is one of the latest trends to create a buzz in the fitness world.

Today, personal trainer Allan Zimmer instructs four young women in his studio to each climb into a TRX unit and pushes them through a particular exercise.

Each of the women — Kym Shwaluke, Kellea Johnston, Denise Young and Kathy Vlaming — attempts to tackle the allotted task.

A droplet of sweat moves slowly down Young’s face. The real estate agent is strapped into a TRX doing her best single-leg squat.

Zimmer, owner of Sustainable Fitness, praises her efforts and reminds her to concentrate. Judging by their flushed faces, the others in the group are putting in just as much effort. It’s not easy.

“You’re leaning and you’re thinking, ‘Oh my God. If I let go, I’m going to fall on my face,’” says Young.

“But there’s really no way that you’re going to fall over.”

Hi Workout At Home Fan,

I found this great article for you that will be of great interest if you want to change the state of high school athletics in your town for the better.

And if you want to turn out  stronger, more competitive and less injury prone athletes while costing your school far less money by introducing your athletes to suspension training.

Casey Stutzman is a high school football coach,  a certified personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach.

He revitalized the entire athletics program at Alpena High School where he works by introducing the TRX Suspension Trainer.

The TRX Suspension trainer is a portable gym that was invented by a Navy SEAL and is currently being used by pro athletes and trainers in virtually all sports.

The gym at Alpena High School sounds a lot like the high school that I went to.  It was too small and we had one weight machine with about six stations.   When we did get to use it we had to line up and in the time we had we would get one rep in if we were lucky.

Back then we thought that workout machines were the way to go but now we know better.

Machines isolate different parts of the body while the TRX Suspension Trainer works your entire core with each and every exercise.

The TRX also allows you to perform over 300 core exercises anywhere and at anytime.

Students not only can work out at their school athletic facility but they can also set the TRX up at home in mere seconds by attaching it to a door or a tree to workout in their back yard.

Another huge advantage of the TRX is that it costs a fraction of the cost of a traditional weight training machine.

Check out the article below to see how Casey Stutzman transfored the entire athletic department at his high school.

Our industry is in a constant state of change.

Included in this metamorphosis is our training of young athletes with more emphasis being placed on movement skills and functional training as opposed to traditional weight training.

The TRX is at the forefront of this student athlete movement.

No other tool is as appropriate or as versatile for training this user group. TRX can be used in the weight room, on the basketball court, outside… you name it!

I began working with Alpena High School (AHS) and their athletic programs four years ago as a private contractor.

As with most high schools, the AHS weight room is poorly shaped, under sized and on a very tight budget.

An additional challenge was the limited understanding of proper training methodology for young athletes.

TRX has changed the way I train our young athletes.

They have seen greater increases in strength and performance and a decrease in weight room injuries and excessive joint pain (caused when developing bodies try to lift heavy weights!).

Hi Workout At Home Fans,

All I can say is WOW!

My pulse sped up when I found this for you and I am sure yours will as well…

I have a treat for you if you are looking for an incredible abs work out at home  that you can do with two of the most portable and effective gyms on the planet… the TRX Suspension Trainer and the Kettlebell.

The fusion of Kettlebells and the TRX Suspension trainer will quickly improve your aerobic conditioning, agility, flexibility, mobility, balance and functional strength as well as flatten your abs and stomach with a workout at home.

The TRX® Kettlebell™: Iron Circuit Conditioning DVD will feature the top kettlebell trainer in the world Pavel Tsatsouline and Fitness Anywhere’s Director of training Chris Frankel.

If you are thinking that this workout will be too tough for you think again.

When you click on the link below to read the rest of this article you will come to a page with a sample clip of the The TRX® Kettlebell™: Iron Circuit Conditioning DVD and you will notice that each exercise with the kettlebell or TRX is demonstrated three ways.

You will be able to choose the begginer , moderate, or advanced version for each exercise that is demonstrated based on your fitness level.

So even if you are a beginner suspension trainer or new to kettlebells you can do this workout.

This TRX and Kettlebell workout is ingenious because as you get stronger you will want to move up to the more advanced exercises.

You better listen closely to what Pavel says though because he is old school…mess up now and he will be having you do pushups later.

But seriously Pavel may seem really tough and serious but he has a great sense of humor and he will grow on you with time.

And you can rest assured that you are doing the exercises safely because you are getting instructions from two of the best trainers that the world has to offer.

And what is amazing to me is that the kettlebell and TRX are so affordable yet these are the chosen fitness tools of some of the best athletes and trainers in the world.

Yet both the TRX and Kettlebell can be set up quickly and  used in a small space in your home or office.

You’ve been asking for it, and now [drumroll please] here it is! Launching July 19, the TRX Kettlebell™: Iron Circuit Conditioning DVD & Guide will be available for purchase through the Fitness Anywhere website.

We’ve partnered with Dragon Door Publications, the world leading kettlebell experts, to bring you this 120 minute cutting-edge program utilizing both the TRX® Suspension Trainer™ and RKC® kettlebells for an intense 10 rounds of interval training. (Check out this sneak peak below.)

“The TRX® Kettlebell™: Iron Circuit Conditioning DVD merges two of the most ground-breaking training methods to hit the fitness industry in decades,” said John Du Cane, founder and CEO of Dragon Door Publications, Inc.

“The fusion of the TRX and kettlebells will push and challenge your body in a new way, not only strengthening muscles and improving aerobic conditioning but also increasing explosive power, mobility and balance.”

Hosts former Soviet Special Forces trainer and Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC®) Chief Instructor Pavel Tsatsouline and Fitness Anywhere’s Director of Programming, Chris Frankel demonstrate a comprehensive setup and introduction of the TRX and kettlebells, a warm up followed by a 60 minute real-time workout that alternates between each method for intervals that strengthen muscular and aerobic endurance, featuring a series of hybrid TRX/kettlebell exercises to ultimately challenge power and stability, and then finishing with a cool down.

I found this funny article for you about a Syracuse fitness editor who wondered how hard working out on the TRX could be.

She will  take you through an actual   review of the TRX Suspension trainer and in the process guide you through an intense full body head to toe core workout.

This article is for you if perhaps you have let your fitness lapse some due to being too busy to workout because of work or doing stuff with your kids or family.

Though humerous this article actually gives you a chance to experience how suspension training with the TRX can give you an intense  a full body head to toe workout at home or anywhere.

But there is no need over do it on your first TRX workout.

There are over 300 TRX exercises to choose from and you can adjust the intensity of each exercise by merely shifting your bodyweight.

Anyone can use the TRX regardless of age or fitness level.

The TRX is currently being used by Top athletes and trainers  in all sports.

A few notable pro athletes who use the TRX are Superbowl Winning Quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints,  7 Time Tour De France Winner Lance Armstrong and  MMA Champion Fighter George St. Pierre.

The TRX is also being used by personal trainers and physical therapist to help patients recover from injury.

Read the following post to see how Amber Smith was “beaten by the strap” -

The Post-Standard

How hard could it be?

Well aware that these are famous last words, I watched three women of my generation work out with the “TRX Suspension Training” system, still thinking the strap was tame. I’d slacked off of my pushups and sit-ups, and I’d added some weight in recent months, but still: How hard could it be?

It arrived coiled in a little sack no larger than a lunch bag. Even with its center clipped to a stud or overhead beam, TRX becomes two limp, dangling straps.

Well, I’m here to tell you, that’s what my arms were the next morning: limp, dangling–and sore. Yes, it was a good sore, the burning sore that reminds you what a great workout you had.

But still.

If you are a soccer player who likes working out at home  the post below should excite you.

It tells how U.S. World Cup Soccer Star Oguchi “Gooch”  Onyewu suffered a serious soccer injury yet in a matter of months after working out with the TRX Suspension Trainer was able to play in the World Cup.

This story is proof that you can get a world class soccer  workout at home or anywhere with suspension training.

This story reminds me of how Superbowl winning quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints sustained a potentially career ending injury yet with the help of the TRX he was able to recover and win the 2010 Super Bowl.

Drew Brees was so impressed by the TRX that he is now invested financially in Fitness Anywhere the company that manufactures the TRX.

Both of these stories of recovery and triumph are incredible.

Also the amazing thing to me is the fact that as a soccer player you can workout at home or anywhere using the exact same equipment as used by Gooch or Drew Brees for just a fraction of the cost of a home gym or gym membership.

Check out  Gooch’s amazing story of recovery below:

Oguchi “Gooch” Onyewu, 28, assumed his spot along the US back line for last Tuesday’s World Cup warm up against the Czech Republic in his long awaited return to competitive play, having been sidelined these last seven months by major surgery on his left knee.

The 6’5” 210 pound defender tore the patellar tendon in his left knee playing for the United States during the World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica in October 2009. Landing badly after jumping for a header, Onyewu immediately called for assistance and was taken off the field on a stretcher.

He asked the athletic trainer treating him was how long he’d be out. The trainer didn’t know for sure, but Onyewu vowed to make it back as quickly as possible and be a stronger player than ever before.

Three months post surgery, Onyewu could move his leg only “about 30 degrees,” an indicator of how far he had to go. His rehab focused on agility work using ladder drills and endurance work on the treadmill. And each day, he continued to work on strengthening his quad muscle.

To build strength without adding bulk, Onyewu relied on the TRX.
