Is TRX As Good As Weight Training?

TRX training is a relatively new workout that has garnered quite a following. TRX enthusiasts find that the workout provides strength, endurance, balance and flexibility. But some wonder if it is as good as traditional weight training.

Also known as suspension training or instability training, TRX engages the whole body, working all muscle groups. It strengthens joints and improves core strength and balance. It is truly an all-in-one workout that is also quite convenient.

There are a variety of workouts you can do with suspension training, whether you are a beginner or have been at it awhile. You can add other equipment to your instability workout, such as balance balls or kettlebells.

Should I Do TRX Or Free Weights?


You could do either, or you could do both. It is really your own preference. A recent study has shown that the TRX workout provides just as effective results as weight training, so it comes down to what you prefer to do.

Not only that, but TRX training does not require bulky equipment. You can do it anywhere – the gym, at home in your bedroom, a hotel or outdoors. This is one of the advantages that can make it a great addition or alternative to traditional weight training.

Bottom line: TRX is an effective tool for strength training and is not a passing fad or a less serious workout.

Where Can I Get Started With TRX In Amarillo?


If you are in the Amarillo area and you would like to get started with TRX training, come over to the Downtown Athletic Club and visit their TRX room. There you will find experienced trainers who can get you started. If you’ve never done one of these workouts before, it is a good idea to set up a one-on-one training session or attend one of the group fitness classes.

In addition, you will find a variety of state of the art fitness and weight training equipment, group classes, personal trainers and massage therapists. The Downtown Athletic Club has something for everyone.
