Don't forget to join Intro to TRX class in one week on Tuesday, August 18, at 10:45 A.M.
If you're interested in attending our weekly TRX classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you'll need to complete this Intro to TRX class first.
TRX stands for Total Body Resistance Exercise. It is a form of suspension training that uses body weight exercises to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability simultaneously. It requires the use of the TRX Suspension Trainer, a performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user's body weight to complete the exercises. It is versatile, suitable for all levels, improves cardio and strength, engages the whole body, and is low impact in nature.
We hope to see you there!
