I love this! It really challenges you and engages your core more than any plank I could do or HIIT workout alone. The TRX is a great alternative for weights, at least for me. The only thing I would caution is to make sure you hang this on a door that closes the same direction of your pulling. Meaning if you’re pulling the TRX toward you with a workout, that door should be a door that also pulls closed. It works okay on doors that open toward you, but I have better piece of mind that I’m not just relying on a thin lock bar1 – Polly
Have been waiting a long time for these to be affordable. I used them back when they were only available to the military and got super ripped while in the Navy. These things work. All the 1-star reviews saying these are knock-offs are lying. Had mine registered and verified with the TRX site 5 minutes after they arrived – luke
No more having to go down to the gym to get a good work out. Was introduced to TRX by our trainer, who made this a large part of our workouts. We are glad we got one for home use. We are both in our mid sixtys and find TRX is one of our better workout investments. – Rebecca M.
Negative Reviews
Somewhat convenient. But does not justify the $ – sturdy and easy to set up, yet nothing special. Disappointed that TRX does not includes resistance cords. The feet anchor is not as practical as it is shown on TRX marketing videos. Would I recommend? No. Resistance cords deliver more for less dollars. Considering returning it. – Anonymous
This is a good system, but the value is extremely low now that competition has hit the market. They could justify the premium when they had the market alone, but not now. Lots of cheap knockoffs out there, so make sure you get a system with good reviews. I can compare my TRX with the WOSS version I got for the lady, and I actually like the WOSS better. not to mention, it’s 140 less. So, only 2 stars because the value to cost here is not good. Also watch out for counterfeits, as reported by other reviewers. If you are going to pay the big bucks, might consider just going to them (TRX) and getting it directly. – WSymionow2
I had mine for about a year and the strap close to the ring at the top broke. It started fraying and eventually gave way. I’m glad that I wasn’t bearing all my weight on it when it did give way. Called the company and they said that I was “improperly using the equipment.” I wasn’t trying to tow my car with it. I was just exercising just like the manual showed. Great concept but poor materials I guess. You would think that the about that they charge would be more than enough to create a high quality product. I gave two stars just because it is a good product. Just find similar product and you’ll be good to go. – P. Brandt

OWN and use ALL Suspension training equipment… and this is the best. – Cesar
I’ve used both the TRX and Jungle Gym XT in gyms, but when it came to buying one for personal use while traveling I picked the Jungle Gym XT. I picked the Jungle Gym XT because it was cheaper and had some really smart industrial design choices (i.e. straps are split and not attached, the foot cradle can be mounted without even looking at them, the door anchors are built-in, slick color scheme, etc.)… – fanofuna
This is the single best purchase I’ve ever made toward health and fitness.
I’ve had the Jungle Gym for probably 18 months now, and I use them about 3-4 times a week. I used to go to the gym 5-6 times per week, and now the only time you’ll catch me in there is leg day. For everything else, these straps in combination with a pull-up bar provide me with everything I need for a killer workout.
My friends always ask me what I do to get my body to look so perfectly sculpted, and this is my go to answer. I work hard and eat pretty healthy, but the type of additional stability that these force you to develop can’t be achieved in the gym. I workout with bodyweight only (occasionally I’ll throw a 20 or 60 pound vest on, but it’s rare), and my friends just can’t keep up when we workout together. I’m stronger than ever before, and the versatility of these straps allows me to hit pretty much every muscle group.
I do use a kettlebell for shoulder because these don’t offer the best options, and I go to the gym to push around a lot of weight for legs, but aside from that, these straps cover everything I need…and I’m very picky about my workouts. – Ian Britt
Negative Reviews
the ends of the straps are constantly in the way. It’s hard to do any exercise without getting smacked with a strap end – Walter Rockefeller
Defective Design: the Latches can Slip and Drop You – BanjoGirl
So after being bought in about this great item I didn’t realize I didn’t have the correct requirements to sustain this product. I have wooden doors and I’m a built 200lbs man and when the strap is suspending a 200lbs man from a wooden door things go bad. Make sure your doors are steel! – Anonymous

I take TRX classes at my gym and have always wanted to have a set at home for weekends or when I couldnt make the class.
The gym once had off-brand suspension trainers and they were horrible compared to the name brand, so I was a bit worried about ordering these. Once I figured out the best way to use them on the door I have been able to do a full 30 min workout with them. Considering ordering a chin up bar to hang them on but for now the single hang strap has been taped up to and doubled over to anchor to the door, works fine and only taped it up to make sure I dont mar the frame or door itself.One of my biggest gripes with the off-brand suspension trainers was the handles and loops, I use them for core and ab workouts more than anything. These are just like the name brand and have been able to do a full core workout with no issues. The only thing that got me was they cinch up and adjust opposite from the name brand unit.
I love the fact that I was able to get the same suspension trainer for more than half the price of the name brand unit. – Vincent Madrigal
I am extremely satisfied with the ultimate Body Press Resistance. I purchased them primarily to safely do squats for an ailing hip. I’ve since used them to expand my repertoire of exercises. I highly recommend them for their excellent quality and their price. – bgold
These are great straps. As easy to assemble as more expensive brands and just as good quality, but obviously less expensive. We anchor ours to a pull up bar with just as much ease. The included workout chart has many exercises you can do with this system. – PK
Negative Reviews
A little disappointed. Guess you pay for what you get – Martin
Poor quality, did not hold up – John D
Returned due to how the straps adjusted.not the easiest….worth the extra money to purchase TRX Jennifer

So far very good. The straps have been an answer to prayer. I am now able to do my new Shroth scoliosis exercises at home. (I had been having to go to the gym) And they have worked very well for that. Now I am able to do that more consistently and see some really good progress. I am also seeing potential to build on that foundation for even better results. I am very grateful to have them. And the cost was an added bonus. – Jane A. Dignan
This is awesome! And naturally i found it on Amazon!
Wanted something like the TRX. (Just not as expensive).
So thank you SO much again Amazon! – Tricia
These are great and way less $ than other styles, but something to think about before purchasing is what door you will use in your home.
I didn’t think that through and realized the only proper door I have is on a porch and can only be used outside. Great for the summer, not so much for the winter. – pergamino
Negative Reviews
I am not able to use and I was too late to return. The straps do not fit in door way and it does not have hooks to hook on. They jammed the doors when I tried to put them up. Now I have strap I am not able to use. – Wendy
Returned. Description should mention that solid wood doors are needed to use. Most new houses only have a solid door to the garage. – jac
We had to return this as the description for the type of door needed was not clear enough and it ended up not working on ours unfortunately. – Elaine R

These are terrific suspension trainers. They are extremely solid and well built. They are also considerably cheaper than the many others, but trust me you won’t be disappointed.
I connected these to the pull up bar I have mounted to the ceiling in my basement. These make a great addition to my workout area and will be incorporating them into my P90X workouts until I get a better feel for them and what I can do.
The movements can be more difficult than they look in all the YouTube videos! – elvbot
Strongest suspension trainer yet and I have tried several.Even though all of the ones I have used have been nothing but very good,this is by far the strongest unit yet. While most can handle between 350-500 lbs,this one can handle 1,000.00 yes you read it right. Nothing fancy but super durable and strong at a third of the price of many other brands. I highly recommend it! – Tricia
Really sturdy, quality made suspension trainer. This is also probably the quickest one to adjust, too. Just push the clasp and pull the strap to the level you want – takes 2 seconds. The only thing I was a little disappointed by was that the mounting section wasn’t quite long enough to get all the way around the big beam in my basement, which means you won’t be able to get this around a very thick branch for an outdoor workout, either. If you can work around that, though (I wound up putting screws into the beam and hanging it from those), it’s definitely worth getting. – Anonymous
Delivery was on time. The quality and versatility of these straps is excellent. – harold kipreos
