When I plunked down nearly $200 for a TRX Suspension Trainer, a portable gym that essentially consists of nylon straps my dad’s voice was ranting in my head. … “Why did you waste your money on those darn fitness straps?”
My father was frugal to say the least…he would boast that his $15 polyester shirts that he bought at Kmart were better than most shirts because they had a “cigarette pocket” in the front.
He would eat with utensils that he paid 25 cents for from Walgreens and he said that they worked just as well as the finest silverware that cost ten times as much.
He said that his 1967 Dodge Polaris was as comfortable as the finest import from Europe.
My father was a throwback to an earlier age …he was a world war two veteran and he grew up during the depression.
Yes, I went against my fathers advice in my head and bought the $200 fitness straps ….
Did I feel guilty?
Yes I did.
But buying the TRX Suspension Trainer has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Because when you buy the TRX Suspension trainer you are buying much more than some nylon fitness straps…you are buying some of the best fitness equipment in the world that is used by some of the world’s top teams and athletes.
When you make a decision to buy a TRX you are buying much more than just some nylon straps …you are opening yourself up to a whole new world of fitness.
Also you will be getting world class online video instruction and a user forum that can guide you to achieving the body that you have always dreamed of.
Finally there is a truly portable gym that can be set up in seconds almost anywhere inside or outside to allow you to get a world class workout anywhere.
The TRX is so easy to set up… you can workout at home or at your office or in a hotel room while you are traveling and perform the same workout of Super Bowl Champion Quarterback Drew Brees, Or Carmello Anthony of the NBA or MMA champion George St. Pierre.
The TRX Suspension Trainer can be used to perform a Tabata four minute workout, a high intensity workout, interval training workout or even a metabolic workout.

Nice! It’s worth pointing out that the TRX costs the same or less than the average gym’s initiation fee. As for monthly dues, my 24 Hour Fitness membership (which I’ve cancelled), was $40 a month. So the TRX is just 5 months of that to own it and it’s a far better workout than the machines at 24 hr.
Todd, Thanks for the comment. I have also saved a lot of money on gym fees using the TRX. I hang it in the entry way of my house or on days that are not too hot here in San Antonio I attach it to a branch of a tree in my back yard. The accessibility and ease of installation makes it much more likely that I will work out. My teen daughter is on her high school tennis team and she uses the TRX to do a Melanie Oudin Tennis Workout. Seriously I think the TRX could really reduce the obesity epedemic if everyone had one.
