Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Please let me save you at least $100 on your next piece of exercise equipment by giving you this piece of advice: Do NOT buy this unless you enjoy wasting money. There are several devices on the market that are infinitely superior to this or significantly less expensive -- usually both. So rather than buy into the marketing hype (I despise hype) let me provide you with two less expensive, but more effective alternatives (there are more, but these are ones I've tried). These include: 1). GoFit Gravity Bar Body Weight Training System With Exercise Dvd & Portable Flipbook: With it you can do everything you can do with the TRX, and more because you have the ability to add different attachments to the straps - something you CANNOT do with the TRX. Additionally, the foot straps on the Gravity Bar are much more comfortable - and if you don't like them they can be replaced with something like Stroops foot straps or something more to your liking. You do have to mount the gravity bar, but you also end up with a straight bar (you can also use the handles) for pullups. I made the mistake of purchasing the TRX some time ago, and after spending approximately $150, I promptly sold the TRX on Craigslist* and got the GoFit Gravity Bar and never regretted selling the TRX. The Gravity Bar was much easier to adjust, and as for the cost: $35-49 versus the TRX at $175. I'll take the extra $100+ dollars over marketing hype anyday. 2). Original Suspension Exercise Strap with attached handles: This is definitely the way to go. Not only does it have the mount anywhere capability of the TRX, not only does it have the ability to put any attachments that you want on the straps, but it also comes with 2 Marv Pro handles - one of the most unique and innovative strength devices on the planet. Serius Straps retail for $39 versus the TRX at $175 saving you over $100. It also gives you better options, more exercises, and of course, the unique Marv Pro handles, which alone are worth the $39 price. Bottom line: From someone who has used the TRX, versus some of these other devices, I can say unequivocally that the TRX sells at an incredibly inflated price, and is only for people who wish to spend their money on marketing hype, rather than effectiveness. * One other thing: If you thought of buying Fitness Anywhere's TRX, trying it out, and then reselling it on Ebay, you can forget it. The reason you won't see any for sale on Ebay is because the property rights lawyers at TRX force Ebay to cancel any auctions selling the TRX. So in short, you can't sell a product you've bought because TRX wants to charge customers at the highest price for an inferior product.
