Do you use the TRX suspension system?
« on: January 12, 2014, 02:42:17 PM »
I used it while on vacation and found it challenging. I figure that I can skip my gym membership for a few months in the summer and that would pay off the cost of the system.
I'm concerned though that I'll use it a few times and give it up.

So do you have it, and do you find it easy doing it by yourself?

Have used it but in the gym.  I wouldn't give up my membership for it, just ask your gym to get it.

Not long term, but in the summer for a month or so in the park next to my job, and around pesach time so I don't have to pay for the entire month despite only using the gym for a week or two.

From what I read, you can also easily pull muscles and stuff if you don't do it properly, but I guess that it's like that w/ all weight lifting.
The LM Khao Lok had an afternoon class that we joined on a whim, and I really enjoyed it.

Gave up my membership to do this at home rather than walk to gym in the israel summer heat. Pretty soon my workout became once every two weeks for 7 min.

Hope you canceled your membership if you're not using it.
If that's the one on Ben Yehuda, I had checked it out, but didn't care for the vibe. They do have Groupon's though.

I go to Lifestyle in Givat Hamivtar. I absolutely love it!

Oh, and we have 2 TRX systems there. :)

I respectfully disagree. You can use a shallower angle.
