I am a big fan of functional training with overall health that includes strength combined with cardio. I am not a fan of strength training for a long extended period of time and then immediately following failure strength training having to jump on the treadmill or going back to the gym later that day to complete cardio and allow proper recovery time in-between. I think TRX training is a great class to take in addition to your regular workout regime. 24 hours after the workout, I was a little sore; it was the type of soreness that lets you know you had a good workout and didn%u2019t overdo it. When researching for a studio or discussing a TRX class with your gym consultant, I would ask what format they follow (strictly strength movements, strictly core movements, strictly agility, or a combination of all). Many studios allow the option to try a class for yourself for free or to come and observe a class. I highly recommend that you take advantage of this option prior to signing up for an extended training commitment. If you already take Pilates or yoga classes I think you would really love TRX suspension training.The instability of suspension straps can result in injury, especially if you have a history of joint or back injuries, or inadequate core strength. I also can see an issue for people who have weak wrists, elbows, shoulders, ankles and knees as the TRX Suspension requires functionality of these joints in order to ambulate effectively. Gyms generally charge $80.00 per class for gym goers who hold a membership and require a 6-8 week commitment. Private studios generally offer an introductory rate of $60.00-$80.00 and then offer more customized packages and the ability to take other classes offered for a reduced rate per class.
