Suspension training isn't anything new. It's been around for quite some time. However, like everything, the materials used for suspension training have become more refined and safe. This type of training allows for some of the most versatile workouts you can get without involving any weights. In fact, your own body weight is your resistance in many of the workouts you can perform.
The TRX Pro Suspension Trainer Kit was designed for use by trainers who want to help their customers target areas specific to their needs. Retailing for $249.95, it's a great investment for trainers on the go. It is the most durable suspension kit yet, which means it is great for trainers who have multiple clients and are looking for a sound investment that is easy to transport from one place to another.
The TRX Home Suspension Kit is not as durable as the Pro version, but it provides some of the same elements. Both kits offer workout tips and suggestions. This option installs within seconds just about anywhere. It doesn't have to be as durable as the Pro Kit because it is only going to be used by one or two people as opposed to being used by several people a day, multiple times a week. This kit retails for $199.95, a very affordable price for a portable gym that can be used anywhere.
While this trainer does not include all of the features that the Home Suspension or Pro Suspension kits, it's a great starting point for someone who wants to focus on their core without the hassles of a large home gym that might take up more room than they have available to them. It can be anchored just about anywhere, just like the kits discussed above. The difference is that it comes with fewer workout options and suspension elements. The RIP Trainer retails for $189.95.
One of the best things about the suspension training kits is that you can modify it to suit your need with very little effort. For example, you can switch from working legs to working your core just by adjusting the position of your body with no need to get up and change weight settings or anything else.
