I had never heard of TRX bands but stumbled upon them while shopping for a small piece of equipment to do inverted rows. There were a few smaller specialty pieces of equipment just for inverted rows / pull ups, but then I noticed these bands in the search results. Turns out these bands cost much less than the other equipment I was considering and can do a ton more exercises. No brainer.
It turns out my wife uses these in her ‘burn’ classes and my son also uses them in his middle school sports training. They were both very excited when they saw the box and I now see why. Very easy to install, very easy to use and you can do a ton of challenging exercises with them.
I installed them in the ceiling using a TRX X-mount and it has worked perfect. Although technically it looks like you can mount these on the top of a door, that looks like it would greatly reduce the number of exercises you can do. To me, it wouldn’t be worth it if I had to mount it on top of a door. The rows I purchased these for are done while laying flat on the ground almost directly under the ceiling mount. So if I had mounted it on at the top of a door, then this exercise wouldn’t have been possible (nowhere to put your feet / extend your legs). The installation instructions start by saying you need a space that’s 8 ft deep and 6 feet side to workout in. And when you read further, it specifies that length wise it should be 5 feet behind you and 3 feet in front of you (for a total of 8). For me the ceiling mount was 100% the way to go. I moved some other equipment around to make sure the workout space for these was the recommended width of 6 ft wide (3 ft on each side). Having the full 8 ft X 6 ft space available to work out in makes a big difference.
My wife and son are very happy with this purchase and I unexpectedly got a new piece of equipment that’s just as valuable as everything else in our weight room (and it cost less and takes up a lot less space). Plus the exercises are surprisingly very challenging and effective.
Very happy with this purchase.
