Hey I just want to say, that I was very impressed with you’re video breakdown of the TRX. I was TRX Certified back in 2013 and did some videos for 24 hour Fitness and have been a master trainer for years. You really explained thing very well and gave examples so other people can get an idea what you are talking about. Unlike other reviews where they just say the difference with no explanation. So great job man and keep on inspiring individuals to get out of there own mental prison and explore the world of fitness !!!
Lol what is a “master” trainer? Not familiar with that certification/accreditation.
@@spencerd1079 LOL
I had a cheep set of coped TRX I used them for 1 month and I almost face planted when the stitches came apart. That was it I went an got the TRX Tactical 10 years later I’ve still got the same one and I travel everywhere with it. Best bit of kit I own.
Lol yep.. that’s exactly what can happen.. yeah your right totally worth just getting the real thing! 👍💪
LOVE that you have the prices of the model you are talking about up on the page behind you while talking about it--a small but fantastic touch.
Thanks! We appreciate it!
I have the TRX Tactical and wear a size 8 shoe and I've never had any issues with my feet slipping through the foot straps when wearing tennis shoes. Even with one legged lunges. Nice video by the way.
New subscriber here, and you have answered the most important questions for me. Being elderly and retired, and as much as I would like to save some bucks, if there's one thing that I've learned in this life, you usually get what you pay for. If I can't afford something today, I usually wait until I can afford the "better" product, so I'll be looking for the TRX Pro 4. Thanks and Blessings Sir, I appreciate your professinalism!
Welcome to the channel! And thank you for the comment. You are correct.. you get what you pay for.. Just make sure you put that TRX to use when it comes in! Thanks again! 👍👍💪
Great review thanks you! After some hard looking and your review being the best decider, I've gone the Pro4 (on order)! Cheers! Best of luck with everything! Your review is beter than going on their sites - their sites are rubbish for information unfortunately.
Right on man! Yeah I would recommend the TRX pro4! Thanks for the comment and make sure you come back to the channel to bang out some TRX workouts with us! 👍💪💪
Super good review and it helped me figure out which trx was right for me, I appreciate it!
Thanks! 💪💪👍
Great explanation, great energy also. Awesome video. Thanks bro!
Thanks! We appreciate it!👍💪
Thanks for this information. Considering buying for home gym. I now know the main difference between entry and pro models. The TRX website was not that useful in breaking down the difference as you were in this video which focused on actual usability and function.
Great breakdown. Just what I needed
Thanks Patrick! Be sure to use that TRX when it comes in! 💪👍
Coach Sim, very good and reliable appraisal. I use the entry level one as I am the only person using it. Otherwise, all the finer details but important bits noted:)
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Very helpful, now I know which one to buy. Thank you 🙏🏿💪🏽
Thanks for watching the video! Be sure to put that TRX to some good use when it arrives! Thanks again! 👍💪
Great detail and perspective. Thanks, great review, very helpful.
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Very detailed video! Great job.
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Thank you for the great video. I have the tactical trx and loop the foot cradle through the handle to shorten it because I have a smaller foot
Thanks Peter!
Thanks, just the info I needed. Pro4 for me!
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Thank you. Very helpful!
Thank you for the review!
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Bro huge thank you for your trx review series! Hella helped me out.
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Good points about safety. Helped me to make choice.
Thanks! And congrats on getting your new TRX! Be sure to put it to good use when it comes in! 👍💪💪
Very helpful. Thanks
Thanks for the great video. You convinced to get the pro...
Thanks for watching! Let’s get ready to put that TRX pro to work when you get it! 👍💪
Am thinking that TRX, banded approach (along wth traditional static and dynamic stretching) would be a great aid in developing flexibily and hip strength for Tae Kwon Do kicks (and perhaps any explosive/athletic movement. Getting legs in the proper (balanced) position to do isometric (or eccentric) movements is sometimes a challenge with us long femured folks. Great video. Helped me decide on the Pro4.
Thanks for the comment and feedback!! Let us know how you like the pro when it comes in! Thanks again Tony!
Great video. I was wondering which TRX would be right for my son's golf training. TRX's website is not bad but I still had some unanswered questions. Your explanation is better.
Thanks Gordon! Best of luck to you and your son with golf!💪👍
Sold me on TRX PRO4!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!
Thanks man! After you get that TRX, be sure to come back and see us for some of your TRX workouts! 👍💪💪
@@FDMXfitness what do you think of the RIP TRAINER? TRX has a bundle special including that with TRX PRO4.
Thanks for the helpful information. Still stuck between the Pro4 and Tactical. However your explanation of the differences in the foot loop part is big. Still thinking tho but thank you for the great video.
Thanks for the feedback! Let us know which one you end up getting!
Thanks so much for your thorough and valuable comparison. The difference between the foam and rubber handles sold me on spending a few extra bucks to get the model that will remain most like new. I am not a professional trainer. My wife and I plan to use our TRX at home, but won't hesitate to take it with us when we travel. It appears that there's a 14 oz, difference between the Pro and the Tactical models. With my circumstances, would you but the Pro IV or the Tactical model?
Yeah definitely get one with rubber handles. As far as which one? If you are really going to travel a lot and bring one with you I would lean towards the tactical. You can ball it up and throw it in a bag easier also. But remember that the foot cradles do not adjust. So if your wife has smaller feet and plans on doing some leg exercises it may be an issue. Either way, both are excellent suspension trainers and will last through years of training
Nice video. Does anyone know what is a TRX Club 4? How does it compare with the Pro 4?
Very informative!
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Thanks man !
What's the TRX Burn all about? So many options, I feel kind of lost haha...
Thanks for uploading the video! I didn’t know about the differences. I bought my Tactical TRX about 8 years ago, but hardly used it because my gym acquired the TRX. With the COVID-19, I’ve “dusted off” my Tactical TRX and take it to an empty shopping parking garage for my daily workout. I’m so glad that I have a Tactical TRX. I didn’t know it weighed less than the other premium TRX, but since you mentioned it, I noticed it. The sand in the Velcro is something that people should seriously consider if they intend to use it outdoors. Once sand gets into the Velcro, it’s safety is compromised.
There you go!! It’s time to dust that thing off and put it to work! Let’s make some gains!! 👍💪💪
Can I replace damaged foam with dumbbell handle grips, foot grips, etc.?
What if I don't know the size of the plastic cylinder under the foam?
(I don't have a TRX yet, so I can't measure it myself)
It is undeniable that the grip may become too thick
TRX PRO 4 has become a strong purchase candidate
It's been a while, so I feel like the TRX PRO will soon come with a dustproof function.
Also, I have a feeling that there will be a tactical kit model that matches the size of the foot.
Thanks for the upload and explanation. I currently own a set of gymnastic rings, and I'm predominately looking into purchasing the TRX for outdoor and hotel workouts. I'm in between the TRX Fit and TRX Strong. I won't be doing any leg exercises. What are your thoughts?
Thanks! And I haven’t got my hands on the TRX string or TRX fit. But if they send them over I’ll be sure to make a video on them. Thank again!
Great video. Like so many others I'm here looking at getting a TRX, since the gym is closed over COVID-19. I'd be the only person using it, I wear a U.S. size 10 shoe, would the non-adjustable strap on the Tactical be an issue for my foot size? I kind of like the army color scheme of the Tactical, but I'd be worried I'd be giving up the functional benefits w/ the adjustable footstrap and heavier material. Given the current situation, its a little harder to run to the store and check it out in person.
Good question and comment! Thanks! I wear a size 11 shoe, and when doing lunges on the tactical my foot can go right through. I would get the pro4.. especially if you want to use it for any leg exercises. Thanks again bro! 👍💪💪
Would you say both models offer similar durability? Their site says the tactical is their most rugged but dunno if that’s just cuz it’s army coloured or what... Do you know off hand what weight the Tactical carabiner is tested for, the site says 1300lbs for the Pro4, but nothing for the Tactical. Have you reviewed the TRX Force App? I know thst was something extra the Tactical includes but not the Pro4. Just curious about these small differences between those two models.
Great points!
Thanks for watching! 💪👍
Super helpful, thank you! I'm looking at the items list for the Home2 vs the Pro4. It looks like they both have the suspension anchor, but only the Pro4 has the xtender. What is the xtender, and do you need it for harder workouts?
Also, unrelated, in a home gym situation, do you prefer a ceiling or a wall mount?
Thanks again for your great talk through!
Thank you for watching and spending some of your time with us! The xtender would only be needed if you have very tall ceilings. If doesn’t make an exercise harder. That would be up to you! Lol I would prefer a ceiling mount over a door mount every time! There are actually some exercises you can only do with a ceiling mount. The door mount works when you are on the go or traveling. Thanks again! 💪👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
A quick fix for foam handles coming apart is to wrap it with a tennis racket overgrip (rubberised tape). They’re cheap and come with different feel and are used on tennis rackets to adjust for bigger or smaller hands. Here’s a vid on how to put them on (starts at 1:52). czcams.com/video/OmVqVgty1og/video.html Great vid on the TRX 👍🏻. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Compare weight and quality on TRX Go and TRX Tactical?
Helpful, thank you
Thanks for watching Sally! Let us know how you like it if you decide to pick one up!
How does the newer TRX Burn system compare to these other three, mainly the "home" I guess?
Very difficult to understand from the TRX home page...
The main difference is the handles… they are all very durable and safe for any TRX exercise.. But that home versions handles will not hold up over the years and you will need to put something around the handles as the foam falls off.. Let us know how your first workout goes if you decide to pick one up! 👍💪🔥🔥
And anyone tell me what the black strap on the tactical TRX is for? It cane with me tactical TRX. I have NO clue what's it for. Thank you, Joe
Extender strap to make it longer if you need to tie around a tall tree.. I used mine to hang some spri bands in the garage.. 👍💪💪
Thx a lot, was more helpful as the TRX website
Thanks Oliver! Make sure you put that TRX to use when you get it! 💪💪
I’ve got an older trx with the foam handles, not quite as old as OG one but close! Should I go ahead and upgrade to the pro 4?
If you are in the market for an upgrade.. I would go for it. I actually still use my original with foam handles also. It still holds up. But the pro feels a lot better 👍💪
I am missing the TRX go! The home version is outdated.
I am looking at buying one but see the pro4 x thinking of getting that one
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Very helpful video...thank you! You mentioned you are a size 11, would a size 14 sneaker (I'm 6'4") slip through the foot cradle on the Tactical version when doing lunges, floor bridges, etc? I am trying to decide between the Tactical and Pro 4. I like the lighter nylon webbing used on the Tactical for several reasons, one of which is that it's lighter for travel as you mentioned (was also told it is stronger and more durable...significance here meaning lighter but no less strong). Ultimately, total body functionality is most important to me...so if a size 14 foot (non-boot) will slip through the foot cradle, that would be significant. Would really appreciate your thoughts and recommendation. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment! And I would say no.. If you wear a 14 your foot should be more than fine. If I wear basketball ball shoes (not workout shoes) my foot won’t slip through. So you should be good to go! Thanks again! Come back to see us for some TRX workouts! 👍💪
@@FDMXfitness Thank you! Curious though, you said in your video that the TRX Pro 4 was "definitely your favorite TRX"... is this just bkz of the adjustable foot strap? If you had a size 14 foot, would you still choose the Pro 4 or would you prefer the Tactical? Thank you!
A 14 size foot? Yeah then the tactical would be just fine. Yes the adjustable foot cradle makes me lean towards the pro
@@FDMXfitness Thank you - I appreciate your follow-up...it was very helpful. While I liked the Tactical's weight and the strength of the nylon strap material ... what you said about the significance of the adjustable foot cradle for certain leg-related exercises like lunges, etc made the Pro4 seem more functionally appealing. Despite having large feet (14), it seemed like being able to strap the cradle tight might be one less distraction for leg work...allowing one to better focus on good form and not what must be done to keep foot from slipping through the cradle. It's tough without actually trying both to know if this reasoning holds true, but decided to go with Digi Camo Pro4. Thank you!
I'm just starting and this will just be for my use only. Im thinking the entry one, can i use it on the door and still put my weight on it without worry?
Yes! My first 10 TRX were all entry level and I used them for year on all sizes on clients and they were fine… the foam on the handles was the only thing that wore off pretty quick. Thanks! 👍💪
This video is in 2020. Amazon today seems to have "TRX GO" (Is it same as your "tactical"?). What do you think of that? It's almost half the price.
Have not tried the TRX go yet... all TRX trainers that I have tried have been sturdy and strong. But if the the price is half, I doubt it has rubber handles which I prefer. But like I said they are all strong enough to support your body weight 👍💪💪
Thanks for this video. I have a TRX dating back to maybe 2014 (personal use) and it still works great. It has rubber handles. I think back then that was the only yellow one and then there was a more expensive "military" kaki version. I now need one for elsewhere. I definitely want the rubber handles, but it needs to be light so I'm thinking tactical, but here's mu question: how are the main straps (not the foot straps) adjusted? Do you just press and pull or push like my old one, or does it require a lot of manoeuvring (say like you would do on a rucksack's belt?) I think that would be a lot of money for that! Thanks again.
The straps both adjust pretty similar with a push and pull. The main difference is the material they are using. Seems more thick and probably durable on the pro. But if you are looking for something lighter and easier to transport, then the tactical will definitely do the job. Thanks!
This video is very nice :) I'd like to ask if there is a real difference beetween Trx Pro 3 and Trx Pro 4. Thanks a lot
Thanks! And I’m not completely certain of the differences between the 3 and the 4. If anyone in the comments has the pro 3 please let us know! Thanks!
Dear FDMX Fitness, are there any differences beetween Trx Pro 3 and Trx Pro 4? thanks
Can TRX workout can't work for me someone who is very much overweight and need to start slowly get more like gravity weight workout ?
Of course! I use this on clients who are overweight and have trouble standing up from a chair. It actually helps you progress to other exercises 👍💪
I am thinking about buying a home trx for home use, because of COVID-19. I won't have my personal trainer to spot or support me. What model is the best if you are training alone? I probably won't be able to set myself up in the foot straps by myself. Thanks
They are all pretty similar as far as function goes. They just differ by materials. The most sturdy and strong would be the pro. The other versions are also safe but are not as thick. So any would work for you. Train hard and train safe! Thanks! 💪💪👍
I'm sure you've reviewed this, but what do you think about the Home2 system?
Can anyone tell me the maximum user weight limit on the TRX Pro 4
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
Awesome video. I wanna one which is ok for traveling with it, still getting all the benefits. Would you go for pro 4... I would love adjustable feet strap... ... please help. I’m a pretty small girl 😅
Thanks for watching Francesca! Yes go with the 4.. the tactical is lighter but you will need the adjustable feet straps with small feet. It’s a little heavier but not by much. You will be happier with the pro. Thanks again! And let me know how you like it when it comes in!
@@FDMXfitness i will! Thanks so much,
Ps. your channel deserves more views!
Good review
Thanks for stopping by and watching! 😎👍💪
I've been looking for any kind of deal on the Pro 4 and have been unable to find one. They even add shipping!Hard nut to crack with the top of the line : )
@@FDMXfitness
How about the "Elite system"?
I have not tried the Elite system as of yet. But so far I have trusted the build quality of all TRX suspension trainers. Thanks!
Is it true that the TRX Tactical comes with a program while the others dont?
I’m pretty sure the tactical came with one.. I never opened or launched the program so I’m not sure what it has or what the programs consist of. Thanks! 💪👍
The tactical one is also uv resistant
Thanks! 💪💪👍
If you use foam handles, wear gloves and keep them as dry as possible for longevity.
Is there no plastic pipe inside the foam handle, just foam?
There is a plastic pipe inside. I have torn through plenty of them to find out. I would then put bat tape on them which works for awhile but then falls off
@@FDMXfitness
It may be the manufacturer's strategy to get you to buy the professional model.
It would be nice to be able to attach a pipe of appropriate size and hardness from above.
It's hard to disassemble and re-sewing with your favorite handle.
What about the ones on Amazon TRX Go? Are they low quality?
Not sure about those? I have never had the TRX Go in my hands
Good vid. Would you say pro 4 and pro 3 are similar?
Thanks! And yes! Very similar
@@FDMXfitness any notable differences?
thank you for your video. i guess i'll go for the pro4 then, as i intend to use it for myself and for work too.
Oh yeah definitely go with the pro if you are going to have clients use it.. the foam will rip in a few months on the regular one
@@FDMXfitness you also convinced me in the video when you talked about the foam around the handles. Good one thanks
Thanks again for watching! Yeah once you try the rubber handles you will never want to use the foam ones again lol
I need a TRX for my house. I'm between pro 4 and tactical? Thank you.
Yeah they are definitely good to have around! I have both. If you travel a lot the tactical is easier to toss in a backpack. If you plan on leaving it at home.. I would get the 4. Let me know which one you decide on
@@FDMXfitness Friend, thank you very much for your valuable help, I opted for the pro 4 since I will be at home and I can adjust my feet as you indicated. What exercises do you recommend for knee rehab?
The link is for the TRX pro3. Where is the TRX pro4?
We will have to update that! Thanks!
I am about to purchase a TRX. There is a model called TRX Elite System. What is the difference between that and the Pro?
Not sure? I haven’t tried the elite one yet.. but we will review one if we pick one up. Thanks!
I picked up the elite system and it has similar features to the pro 4 (locking carabiner and rubber handles, minus the adjustable foot straps). I was able to purchase it on sale for about $55 cheaper than the pro 4 so it was a no brainer.
@@willyun1563 dude… thank you! I have asked this question all over the place…. Including the TRX website. Never got an answer. Are the foot straps an issue for you?
@@nigelking17 I wear size 10 and haven’t had an issue yet while wearing runners. If you are using it barefoot or your feet are smaller I could see where slippage may occur.
@@willyun1563 thanks again for responding. I can get the elite for 100 bucks cheaper including resistance bands.
Would you review TRX DUO?
If we get around to buying one we will definitely do a video. I currently don’t have one. Thanks! 💪👍
Thank you is this exercise good for someone who has never exercised for a overweight person please holler me back to reply !
Yes this would work just fine! There are modifications you can make for many exercises until you build up to the more advanced. We will have some more beginner workouts in the future also that you can follow along to. Thanks! And good job getting started on making changes! 💪👍
@@FDMXfitness Thank you for replying back !
Of course! And thank you for spending some time on our channel! We appreciate it! Let me know how your fitness journey comes along! 👍💪
3:51 you can just buy a decent carabines.
you need to understand the reason why these cheap imitation can sell their product so cheap is because of materials.
technically speaking those straps are cheap.. you can have the same strong strap quality like the original TRX as long as you can find a decent manufacturer. the difference will be on those metals parts like the carabiner. so if you gonna buy a cheap imitation make sure to replace the carabiner coz that's where the merchant tries to lessen the price of their product.
Thanks for the feedback! 👍💪
anyone knows the differences Pro 3 and Pro 4?
I’m not sure? There might be some slight differences in the strap.. But if you can find a pro3 for supper cheap.. I would get it
trx is insanely overpriced. go to any hardware store and you can put together something more easily adjustable with the ability to support 1000s of pounds for a fraction of the price.
Yeah that takes work. Screw that I’d rather pay for a nice dedicated product.
Velcro not working in dirt, sand, when wet and so on is def a myth.
Yeah but why is it $250?
The answer is… none. Get a Recoil S2. It’s more expensive but it’s infinitely easier to adjust, the straps are always the same length, and there is no hardware rubbing against you when doing chest presses or other exercises.
Thanks for the feedback! 👍
