Workout you can take wherever you go

(FOX Providence) - There's a new way to get a full body workout using one simple little device that you can take wherever you go.

Our friends over at Gold's Gym East Greenwich and Pawtucket showed us how the TRX workout works, and why it's so effective.

What is TRX?

TRX was designed and created by Randy Hetrick a former navy seal, who originally used straps from a parachute harness to continue his training when posted on tour in Afghanistan. After leaving the forces he developed the idea further and the TRX was born.

It is probably the most versatile fitness equipment that you will ever use, due to the light weight of the TRX you you’ll never miss a workout again, only weighing 2lbs and can be easily attached to a lampost, a tree, a climbing frame and even a door.

TRX delivers greater performance and functionality allowing you to workout at the park, or in your house or hotel. The TRX can help you to build strength, power, speed, flexibility, mobility and prevent injuries allowing you to be in complete control throughout the exercise.
There are over 300 exercises that can be done using the TRX that ranges from beginner to advanced.

Thousands of people are already training on the TRX, from all fitness levels . Professionals athletes like Drew Brees, Bas Rutten, Shuan White are just a few names who train on the TRX needing peak performance, to everyday people who just want to look and feel their best.

The TRX is truly unique training equipment, allowing you to target all yours muscles during one training session. You can do more in 30 minutes, than most people do in 1 hour in the gym. Fundamentally the TRX focuses on core stability, balance and more importantly functional training, helping you to achieve a leaner and stronger you.

Testimonials:

When they told me it was invented by a Navy SEAL, I knew it would be cool¬ It's just your body weight working against gravity, so you won’t get injured. Now my wife uses one at home, and I’m addicted."

Have been using the TRX system for a few weeks and in just that short time I have felt a significant difference in the way my body feels. I am able to incorporate the TRX Core Strength training with my workouts that I am doing with my teammates. In the 12 years that I have been playing professional football, I have seen many different approaches to strength training. The TRX gives me an advantage that I feel will help extend my career. By using just my body weight for the exercises, it doesn't take a toll on my joints. They get enough abuse on the field when I play. With the TRX I can train at an intense level, even when my joints are sore..."
