TRX

As a personal trainer since 2006, ironically, I’ve struggled with having consistency with my own workouts. Having the TRX app has allowed to have my own digital trainer and program for MY needs and my schedule. With the wide range of workouts that the app offers, it allows you to choose from level of intensity, time available for a workout, or even incorporating other modes of training (like kettlebells to battle ropes). This has empowered me to stay fit not only for myself, but for my personal training business as well. I love TRX. It has truly been a blessing for me in so many ways. TRX has enriched my life monetarily, my clients’ health and fitness, and also my own fitness program. I thank God for TRX! Amen!

Search function either doesn’t work or there aren’t workouts that fit my parameters? My community gym has a TRX and I am looking for a beginner workout. I searched for indoor suspension workout at beginner level for 20-40 min. Results came in with many workouts for biking, running, HIIT, foam rolling, “explosive strength” (?) and a couple that sounded beginner-ish. Yet you click on them and it clearly says intermediate level. I have never used this so really need a beginner basic workout that won’t scare me away and maybe might e courage me to pay for other options in the app. Looked at a “fat burn” that appeared it might fit for me but I. Previewing g I wonder how is an “atomic plank” a beginner move? I will be in a gym where others are and really don’t want to make a complete fool of myself the first time out - will guarantee I never try again. Off to google to find a simple pdf to follow. Maybe will try again another time if I see an update.

I was Looking for a TRX app that would have flexibility in how to do the exercises to account for differing levels of fitness. It says it has beginner programs, but the ones I tried had things I could not possibly do (atomic push-up? I'm still struggling to do a single push-up on the floor!) So if you are a beginner, this app is not for you. I have had personal trainers who have used trx in beginners routines so I know it can be done, but this app does not do it very well. If you are an athlete, however, it has a nice range of exercises and types of activities. The 14 day trial was a surprise - but bad on me for not reading the entire description. I'll have to go in to my settings and make sure it doesn't automatically charge me in two weeks. I expected an "in app purchase" flag in the App Store and it doesn't have one.

I thought I was in decent shape and fitness (lol) but I my gym schedule became erratic due to working at a startup. So I quit spending $30 at the corporate money vampire gym and decided to buy the TRX Pro as it was on special. I did a workout, the basic Weight Loss one (20 mins) and oh my goodness it was wicked hard. I was dripping sweat like you could not believe about halfway through the workout. It burned me out so much I couldn’t even walk up the hill when I took my dog for a walk afterwards. After about 30 mins of lying on the floor in tired self-pity, I finally had the courage to get up and shower. So I recommend this. I can see my fitness will (hopefully) do a 180 while using this.

Update: still no new content. Why subscribe if there is no new content? A subscription comes with your TRX but I would hesitate to subscribe given lack of sessions and attention to new workouts. Update: Months and no new workouts. For subscription services, content should be refreshed regularly. I would recommend a different suspension trainer app or even you tube given the lack of updates. Limited content—with focus on runs and other things instead of the TRX. I have apps for cycling and running. Focusing on the TRX would help this app actualize its promise to provide TRX workouts. Old review: This is the best version of the app yet. What more, I received a free year with my TRX purchase directly from the TRX site. That said if I was paying to continue my subscription or a new subscriber I would want new content at regular intervals. The workouts are good and more challenging than workouts I put together on trx apps. However I would love to see some new sessions. I don’t use the non-TRX material as I have other apps for that so I think the best bet for a trx app would be to focus on the suspension trainer workouts. Keep new workouts coming or consider a one-time purchase app.
