 Works up quite a sweat August 29, 2010
Beco G.
I have had this product for almost 2 weeks now, so i can't really give a clear cut review. However, the 2 weeks I've tried it, it has managed to leave me in quite a bit of pain (good pain), whole lot of challenges and a puddle of sweat. Friends and family are noticing slight changes, but i haven't noticed anything yet, again its only been 2 weeks. I also like the fact that there is a HUGE network out there that use this product and have more concentrated and "challenging" exercises to try out. It looks extremely easy... so don't be fooled! My only issue with it is cost.. but once you try it out for sometime.. that thought sort of fades away :) Enjoy!
 Great workout, not woth the price. August 22, 2010

I was in the military and the gym on base had a few sets of TRX's that you could use. I don't like lifting weights on a regular basis, every now and then is fine to gauge where you are at, but ultimately I feel body weight workouts will get you in better overall shape.
I added the TRX to my workout and noticed my stabilizer muscles were being heavily recruited and I thought I had trained them enough already. I was WRONG. The TRX system delivers its promise of being durable, portable and effective.
I used it a good bit and then when I wanted my own set I found out how expensive they were and started looking for alternatives.
I ended up with finding some nylon straps at my local Home Depot that are about 2" wide and can withstand up to 5,400 lbs of tension. I've used some stiff garden hose for handles, but I know people have used PVC pipe as well. I've made two sets; One with grommets placed 6" apart all down the webbing, and then another pair that are marked every 6" with a black line and you just wrap the remaining length around your anchor point. Both sets have the 6" sections numbered starting with '1' at the bottom grommet/line and increasing the numbers as you go up the length of webbing.
For attaching them to doors I found that using a carabiner wrapped in something soft (cloth, old wet suit material, etc.) and then tapped up are pretty decent and don't damage doors. The pair without grommets I just tie a knot in the end of the line, or wherever I need the knot, and close the door on it.
I haven't noticed anything wrong with the set with grommets, but I suspect that adding the grommets has reduced the tension resistance to a certain degree, thus the extra pair without the grommets.
A home made kit might run you $15-30 depending on your resources and scrounging ability
I was pleased with the system, but I can not see how they justify the prices. Also I can not find anything on their website saying where their product materials come from or where the manufacturing takes place. I would hope something developed by a Navy SEAL would try to keep as much of their product assembled and built by Americans. No offense to the rest of the world's nations of course.
Super for home and on the road workouts August 1, 2010

I've had my TRX for a couple of years now and I'm very satisfied with it. It's a great alternative work-out and the ability to travel with it is super. I photocopied the exercises from the booklet, laminated them, and use them as cards that I shuffle. That way I can mix the workout up and keep it fresh. As for as home workouts go, this is pretty great. I think I like my v-max weight vest (I couldn't find it on Amazon.com otherwise I would have put in a link) from [...] a little bit more when I'm at home, but the TRX dominates when you're on the road.
Ultimately, if you're using the TRX, you will develop a rock-hard core and great functional strength all over your body. The construction is bomber and I highly recommend this. Even if you are normally a gym rat, this is a great product to that will give you an alternative if you are at home or on the road.

Why pay $200 for a couple of straps and handles? Make them out of a couple of durable dog leashes and workout handles you can get with any resistance cable kit...I'll pass on your over-priced straps, thank you.

I am a fully satisfied customer who purchased the TRX. It really hits spots you never thought was there and it is really was there. 1 hour in this thing actually sweats you so much people think i just came from a basketball game.
