TRX Suspension Trainer




The TRX Suspension Trainer is a bodyweight-based portable training tool that builds strength, balance, flexibility and core strength for people of all fitness levels. At Club 2073 we have the TRX system permanently setup and i use it with basically every client, every session. The reason for this is the versatility of the TRX. As mentioned above, the TRX can be used for multiple training disciplines with amazing results.

Because of the TRX's instability, exercises such as a push up or back row become much harder because of the extra muscle recruitment needed to stabilise your body and joints. What is so good about that? Here are just a few reasons~
  1. Joints such as the shoulder, knee and hip have to use every stabiliser muscle it can recruit to complete the movement, resulting in stronger, more functional joints with less injuries.
  2. Unstable training works on the core musculature. The core muscles provide the support for your body to remain upright and be able to complete ALL movements. Having a strong core will prevent injuries, improve posture and increase overall strength. 
  3. Life is not meant to be seated! in real life our bodies are able to move to the side, backwards, forwards and diagonally. When we complete these movements standing up, are we stable? No, we are the exact opposite! That is why we should train in a way in which our bodies naturally move. The TRX  exercises do exactly that!

The TRX system is a revolutionary piece of equipment which has forever changed functional training for the better.  i highly recommend the use  of the system  as it has provided both myself and my clients with strong, flexible and functional bodies!

At Club 2073, the TRX system is reserved for personal trainer use only, but i am more than willing to give anybody interested a demonstration. If you would like to book in for personal training sessions to use the TRX with myself, please contact me via phone, email or at the club reception.
