TRX Pro4 Suspension Trainer

The TRX Pro4 Suspension Trainer System is a premium suspension trainer that you can use practically anywhere. The straps are incredibly durable to withstand up to 350 lbs of user weight. It also has a locking carabiner D-ring clip that can hold over 700 lbs. The Pro4 System comes with two anchors: the suspension anchor and the door anchor. These allow you to fasten the suspension trainer to almost any appropriate object, like a doorway, squat rack, fence pole, or even a tree.

When anchored, the TRX Pro4 has two straps that meet at the top equalizer loop. This keeps the straps at equal lengths when you’re using the suspension trainer. The straps are adjustable so you can fit them for various heights depending on where you mount them. The TRX straps have textured, rubber handles and adjustable foot cradles. The handles feel really nice in your hands and provide an excellent grip no matter the exercise you’re performing. The foot cradles are perfect for training with or without shoes.

The TRX Pro4 System comes in the standard yellow and black straps, and also in camo print. The TRX Tactical Gym is the best option if you plan to use your suspension trainer primarily outdoors. It is designed to handle military training and has more of a rugged look than the other systems.
