Designed by Navy SEALs, TRX suspension trainers leverage your body weight to build strength, balance, and flexibility, engaging your core with each move. It’s no surprise that TRX suspension trainers are used by top-level athletes—Major League Baseball teams and Olympians have cited the practice as part of their workout routines.

Don’t be intimidated by those nylon straps hanging from the ceiling on the fitness floor. Everyday exercisers can benefit from adding TRX to their workout regimen as well. You set your own limits. It’s easy to tweak exercises to suit your abilities by adjusting your body positioning. Challenge yourself with Asphalt Green pro trainer Joseph Reyes’ 20-minute TRX workout.
