is a piece of equipment that can be used for simple and ultimately challenging exercises and workouts.\u00a0 It was originally created by a Navy Seal who was tired of not having any exercise equipment or space to perform exercises for his whole body while on duty; therefore, it was designed to take up very little space and be versatile enough that it can be used for training indoor, outdoor, and virtually anywhere.\u00a0 This is apparent through the name of the company that created it \u201cFitness Anywhere\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitnessanywhere.com\/\">www.FitnessAnywhere.com<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The suspension trainer itself can be packed into a small mesh bag for easy portability and convenience and is a comprised of two 6 to 7 foot heavy duty nylon straps with soft foam handles at the end of each strap.\u00a0 The straps are adjustable in length to accommodate any size individual and different positions required for the multitude of exercises that can be performed with the TRX.\u00a0 It can be attached very easily around anything strong enough to withstand the user\u2019s body weight and is also available with a door hanger, again to be hooked into a door way strong enough to hold the users body weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong><em>Benefits of training with the TRX:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Although many exercises with the TRX require a great deal of core and overall functional strength, most exercises can be adapted for the beginner, elderly, or the extremely overweight individual.<\/li>\n<li>It takes up very little space, is easily portable, and is considerably affordable.<\/li>\n<li>Exercise with the TRX can be performed indoors or outdoors.\u00a0 Whether you are in a gym, home gym, garage, hotel room, a full body workout can be done ANYWHERE!\u00a0 It can even be hooked around a sturdy tree to take your workout to the park on a sunny day.<\/li>\n<li>TRX training can be added into any workout in conjunction with free weights, body weight exercises, and weight machines.<\/li>\n<li>The TRX can be used for upper body, lower body, and core strength exercises, balance training, flexibility training, or plyometric training to name a few, but the possibilities are endless depending on your degree of creativity with the device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out this video of me demonstrating some of the MANY exercises that can be performed with the TRX:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gTzn2p-ZyJg\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"390\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I have been training with the TRX and using it with clients for approximately 3 years now and I highly recommend it to anyone looking add variety to their workout.\u00a0 I have used it with a wide array of clientele including professional, college, and high school level athletes, as well as weekend warriors, those new to working out, and even in a rehabilitation setting.\u00a0 The results and feedback from all clients have been similar-\u201c2 thumbs up!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Due to the small learning curve in TRX exercises, it is very important to start slow, get lot\u2019s of practice, watch the introductory DVD that comes with the purchase of most TRX\u2019s, and possibly book a session with a TRX certified trainer in your area to ensure you are performing all exercises properly to reap the benefits and avoid risk of injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Email <a
