Get Moving - What Does TRX Stand For

Many of the Health Coaching fitness sessions incorporate TRX suspension training. The question that often arises is: "What does TRX stand for?" Great question! Simple...

Suspension training systems like TRX, Jungle Gym, or training rings focus on movement efficiency - not muscle development. Human bodies do not function as individual muscles, but rather as a connected chain of muscles that - when properly conditioned - work in unison. Have you ever tried to open a car door using just your hand?

Suspension training systems emphasize whole body movementsthrough all of the planes of motion. These movements use bodyweight to develop flexibility, coordination, mobility, muscular strength and endurance.
