TRX Suspension Training System:

Come and try the new TRX frame at the Waterfront Fitness gym. TRX is a functional suspension training system which allows you to work against your own bodyweight.

TRX says: "The TRX® is more than just the most versatile piece of exercise equipment available; it is a complete training system. The program builds strength, balance, flexibility and burns fat. You control how easy or hard you want to work. Whether you are an elite athlete or just want to get back in shape, the TRX will help you reach your fitness goals. and a comprehensive full body workout that can be adapted as your fitness improves.

Q: Who will benefit from Suspension Training®?
Everyone can benefit from Suspension Training®. Because the user can effortlessly control the resistance and level of difficulty by simply shifting the position of their body, the TRX® Suspension Trainer™ Professional is perfect for gentle rehabilitation, hardcore athletic training, and everything in between. Suspension Training® also allows for complete ranges of motion while training which allows for a more functional workout routine.

Q: Is Suspension Training® appropriate for people who are out of shape or just beginning an exercise program?
Yes, because the user has control over the amount of bodyweight resistance, control of the angle in which they place their body, and can control their stability by their foot placement (wide stance, narrow stance, single leg) which means it can very well be used for people that are not professional or performance athletes nor regularly active. Suspension Training can also be used to assist a number of movements that are too difficult for many deconditioned users.

Q: How is Suspension Training® different from other types of resistance training?
Traditional weight training often only works one muscle at a time which is contradictory to the normal coordinated muscle effort used to complete most activities. Focusing on only one muscle at a time is more likely to lead to overuse injuries and muscular imbalances, as well as potentially limit strength and movement gains. Suspension Training® allows for the use of multiple planes of motion and works multiple muscles and joints simultaneously.

Q: I’ve heard the TRX® is great for rehabilitation and physical therapy after an injury?
Many physical therapists are currently using the TRX® to help their patients recover from various injuries. The ease of adjusting resistance, functionality of using body weight and the closed kinetic chain nature of many of the exercises make it a very powerful tool for this type of use.

Q: What’s the best way to ease into Suspension Training®?
To ease into suspension training it is best to choose 5 to 6 exercises that are suitable to your fitness level and do a single set of each working at 10 to 12 repetitions. You should start with a less advanced resistance or body position and take the time to make sure that your form is perfect. Also take lots of rest between exercises. Once you feel comfortable with the movements you can progress a number of ways. Try to slowly introduce more challenging resistances, increase the number of exercises and the volume of your workout in terms of sets and reps and decrease the rest you take between each movement and between sets.

Q: How long do I have to workout?
20 to 30 minutes of training on the TRX® is a great place to start. Adding sets, reps or additional exercises will allow you to slowly increase your workout time if you are looking to do so. What is most important to remember is that doing even 10 minutes of activity is much better than nothing at all. If you know that you don’t have time to get through your full routine, try to resist the urge to blow it off all together. You’ll find you can still get lots of benefit from a shortened session."
