TRX

Cheap doesn't always mean it is better or worse, neither does expensive mean the same neither.

The TRX is good because of it's flexibility to easily change dynamically for a whole host of exercises, plus it's fun to use, 100% effective in doing what it says it can do, plus I & my clients love it & know how good it is to use, at home, in the countryside, parks virtually anywhere basically .

So it's worth the cost & it pays for itself, more clients loving it & coming to me to be trained on it ;)

ITs not the same, get the TRX. Its better quality. If you are going to spend the money get quality. If its the same why don't we see those cheap straps being used on YouTube?

I'm not sure if my post went through so I'll try again.
The TRX suspension trainer is more than a cheap blast strap.
The way the TRX was built allows for more variety.
Unlike the blast strap with it's metal handles it limits
you in some lower body training. Sure the TRX is a lot more expensive, but as a certified personal trainer,it's worth it.

funny thing is that you can get the same thing they called blast straps for 1/3 the price dont waist money for the name its ll the same

what is the company name of this?

where buy this?

I think its a good idea, BUT, we did the same thing in the 80s' with cargo tie downs in the Airborne. Our pushups in the Airborne were hard as well, feet up on a chair, or worse, at a 60 degree angle up on a wall, we did about 30 different routines, NOT involving weights and we used cargo straps from C130s. This TRX is NOT a revolution, just something 'new' to the public that most can be done without the straps. If you stick with the basics and whatch what you eat you can achieve the same thing.

bungie chord wouldn't be good, it's not springy like that. But, yeah a lot of people make them out of car seat belts, only problem would be adjusting it at different lengths for different exercises

It can definitely replace weights. It is exactly the same as weights, with an added twist; the instability factor allows more muscle groups to get involved. Resistance can be increased with steeper angulations. I know several people who have given up weight training and just used TRX; and I know people who HATE the product and felt weight training was a bit easier since they can "isolate" one muscle group. I feel TRX is legit for ALL resistance training, but I would also add a cardio component.

I'm thinking of given up the weight training for this too. Just had a personal training session today with it, it's really good... I'm trying to get one on eBay
