Okay, it seems very well made, but its just straps and handles! I’m glad I got it and like using it. I’d recommend it but when you realize that you paid all that for just…okay, I won’t say it again!
The carrying bag it comes with is a little too small to conveniently get the TRX into. It can be done, but it wouldn’t have hurt to make it a little bigger.
I first used the TRX Professional at my gym (with a personal trainer) and was happy with the results and convenience. I decided to purchase my own TRX for home use on those days when I can’t make it to the gym.
I purchased my TRX directly from Fitness Anywhere and was surprised that, after about a year of infrequent use, the right cam buckle started to slip. A brief internet search and a review of some of the reviews here on Amazon shows that other customers have experienced the same issue (cam buckle slippage). This is not only problematic because of the cost and promised quality of the item, but because it’s dangerous; I fell to the floor when the cam recently suddenly slipped in the middle of a rep.
When I contacted Fitness Anywhere to inquire about simply replacing the defective buckle (a presumably inexpensive replacement part which I would have paid for), they responded that my product must be counterfeit. When I replied that I’d ordered it from them and gave the order number, they responded that my product was outside the one-year warranty period and that they would not replace it. They then offered me a paltry 20% discount on a new unit, though I’m not sure why anyone would spend nearly $200 on a product that may or may not be as defective as the first.
For the record, it sounds as if at least one other Amazon customer with a two-year-old TRX with defective cam-buckle actually received a replacement from Fitness Anywhere. I’ve written to them once more and asked them to at least be consistent with their treatment of other customers, and hope they will take a look at a picture of the defective buckle on my unit. But based on their responses so far, I am not hopeful. I should note that I have made three purchases from Fitness Anywhere in as many years and have widely recommended the unit. I’d have hoped that Fitness Anywhere would treat loyal customers better and I recommend any potential customers consider this information before spending hundreds of dollars on anything this company sells.
I will post more information about their response once the issue is (or is not) resolved.
I am using the trx to “mix-up” my workouts. It is very humbling! If you do the exercises listed in the book and/or dvd that it comes with, especially the lunges/leg exercises, they are very difficult. It is also great for working on stability and balance. It also has GREAT core exercises. The only issue I have with the TRX, and this might be misuse by my part, is the exercises that you have to hook your feet in the loops. I recommend the trx and am happy with my purchase. The best deal around is through amazon.
Yes, it’s incredibly effective at working the whole body in a very functional way, engaging several muscle groups at once across all planes of motion. The results are dramatic and fast. Results you can see and feel. But the thing that really sets the TRX apart for me is the fun factor. If I don’t truly enjoy a workout, I won’t stick with it for the long haul, no matter how amazing the results. The variety of movements possible on the TRX is incredible; I add new ones to my routine all the time, which makes it easy to mix things up. Each exercise challenges me in new ways, and each one is fun. In truth, even if I didn’t see such dramatic long term results, I would use the TRX just for the sheer joy of it.
I have been working with TRX for the last year at the gym and just recently purchased my own for home use. TRX is one of the most versatile pieces of workout equipment you can own. There are dozens of exercises you can do to work out virtually all parts of your body. You can vary the difficulty simply by moving your body in a different position. TRX is totally portable and can be used just about anywhere, especially using the over-the-door anchor. I also highly recommend the X-mount for ceiling use. The ceiling mount allows free movement in any direction and is VERY sturdy and inconspicuous. Give TRX a try…you won’t be sorry!
