Hi I am a male 72 years living in Sydney Australia and I just bought a TRX. This is a fantastic video and thanks for sharing. Without the video I would not have a clue as to how to use the TRX. All the best and thanks again
Dear Amy, I realize you posted this 7 years ago. Thanks so much for this workout. I’ve had a TRX for years but never made much progress with it because the TRX paid site workouts were not for my level and I struggled with them every time I did them. At that time there was nothing available on UA-cam. Your workout has changed that for me. Having just turned 70, I finally feel like there’s hope for me and TRX! Thanks so much!!
This set comes with 5 bands of varying resistance, a storage bag, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS7ex6L4sMqpaTn4LnBPyBmRQsSingL8y a small pamphlet with some sample exercises, and an access code for an online workout video. I haven't viewed the online video, so I cannot speak to the quality of that piece of the set. However, everything else is perfect for what I was looking for. The bands are durable, and the resistance strength varies enough between bands that they're each useful for different exercises and provide a great challenge as you gradually increase the resistance level for certain exercises. The only band I don't use very often is the lowest resistance band, but even that is nice for exercises that target weaker/seldom used muscle groups.
Ohhhh please make all your TRX WORKOUTS a playlist! Thanks!! Love how you break everything down! I’m 53, but have some major arthritis happening in one hand, so I’m hoping TRX is a system where I can get fit
I’m 63 female lead a basically sedentary life for the past 6 years. Just bought a TRX set and am excited to get started. Thank you for this video. It will be my life saver.
joined a gym a month ago saw their TRX area and had not a clue what it was for. so i looked on you tube and found your video. Thank you very much for the education. Great video and you are a great teacher. felt really inspired. have used it twice now and found muscles i haven't used yet. thank you again.
I'm 62 and just discovered TRX. I see people do it at my gym but always thought I had to be super in shape and younger to try TRX. Haven't been able to do lunges because I've lost balance with age. Going to take this video to my gym and try some exercises I've been missing out on. I like your style, not intimidating at all. Thank you!
Five years on and this video is still excellent. Hung up the straps in the back yard for something to do during lockdown and this was exactly the level I needed to get started, so thank you!
I'm only 10 minutes in but I have to say THANK YOU. This is just what I needed. I've never done TRX before but a friend told me about it. We are both stay at home moms and instead of getting to the gym I have a set of these bands coming in the mail! I'm so excited. I really appreciate the modified exercises (like the row and one leg squat). I'll be coming back to this video... Several times! Love your channel! Thank you.
Awesome Instruction Amy. I did 30 TRX group fitness classes and being an older guy gym fanatic in decent shape TRX kicked my fitness to another level. All the stabilizers kick in and tone and shape every muscle group working on. Loved it ! You Rock!
I got a TRX through a special program for Veterans. I used to work out a lot and have special posters that show all the exercises for suspension training. I came across this video for my wife. You are very knowledgeable. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my feet in the straps. Thanks for that huge tip.
Thank you so much for this great introduction to the TRX. I’m 65 year old and fairly fit for my age. The TRX is new for me (a tipp from a fitness trainer friend) and I find it a great contribution to my regular fitness schedule.
Amy, I just got a trx for Christmas. I was super excited, but also overwhelmed. Thank you for postig this instructional video with tons of advice and modifications. You are amazing! I love your instructional style!
Thanks for this - you have enabled me to regain my fitness and shape. It’s is the best beginner trx video out there and a great way to get going before moving on to your other trx workouts. I’m in my early 50’s and I’m amazed at how strong I’m becoming!
Thank you:) Had my TRX for 2 yrs with out using it out of sheer confusion. Did this whole work out and completely loved it:) Look forward to getting better at it with your videos, you've a lovely demeanor.
I just bought a TRX and had a small idea of what to do but thought I should look it up. This video was super clear and insightful. Welcoming to all abilities. Looking forward to following more 🙌
I have been curious about the TRX bands I had seen at my gym, but the whole thing intimidated me and I was worried I'd fall on my face mid-plank so looked for a video with clear directions with well-paced transitions. Your workout was perfect, and you have totally demystified TRX for me. It's going to be part of my summer workout rotation. Thank you! 💪
This was great!!! Thank you for your help and walk through on how to use the TRX trainer. You were better than many of the videos I found on the TRX app and website!!!
I just got my TRX and I've been reading /watching reviews about it being really good but also tough. I'm glad that you made this video cause I have a knee injury, and with your video I can take it easy. I used to go for walks or jogs and hurt my knee, but because of your guidance, I learned how to be careful. This was an awesome video. I managed to sweat, haha!
I have taken TRX classes, I just got a home set up with TRX. I thought I should go to your instructional workout to start slowly and properly. It was great accept a little fast to get equipment set up in time especially in side plank. Just an FYI
I bought a TRX system for my home gym. I wasn’t sure about how to use it correctly, so this video was absolutely perfect! I really enjoyed this workout. Your directions were clear and concise. The suspended planks were very challenging. I will be back for more!
Amy, thank you for showing so many variations for each exercise! I just got a set of TRX straps because I am getting to an age where free weights are too hard on my joints. But as other reviewers have stated so many videos entitled "beginner TRX" are just too much for my shoulder after a complete labrum tear and biceps tenodesis repair surgery.
Awesome instructional video. I just got a TRX and was a bit nervous to use it. Your instructions made it feel like I've been doing this forever. I can't wait to try the newer videos you posted this week.
Fab intro! It's so hard not to run before we can walk! Especially when you've been fit before but let it ALL go. Looking forward to getting stronger and progressing 💪
I’m a senior (75) and only used the trx at the gym for a few exercises. This training was very informative and gave me a good work out. I’ll be staying here for a bit until I’m more confident. Great training!
Thank you for creating this video. I used to be in decent shape but like so many others, family and work demands have become more of a priority than my own well being. I'm determined to make my health a priority and recently joined a gym. I was curious about the TRX straps. I looked for a UA-cam video covering the basics, found yours and loved the workout! I will master these basic moves and then move on to your more advanced videos. Thank you Amy!🙏💪👏
Love this! You are pleasant, nice voice, and not annoying like some trainers. I just did my first class and love it. I will take my phone to gym and follow your instructions.
Thank you for this tutorial, Amy. I recently purchased the TRX pro system and was very confused on how to use it. Your instructional video was very easy to follow. Looking forward to using this tool more confidently now.
You are so pleasant to listen to! Perfect instructions for a beginner like me. I am grateful for this video. Thanks for posting it. Keep up the good work, Amy!
Agree. And she dressed nicely too.... Lot of these trainers seem like their main concern is to feed their ego and the second concern is to make you feel less than them. This woman's awesome
Very good and informative TRX workout ,I’ve had a TRX for many years and only used a few times as couldn’t really get to grips with it, but this beginners workout was just what i need to start me back onto it again as i need to get in shape for my wedding . Cannot thank you enough Amy this must be one of the best beginners TRX workout videos ,if youve got a TRX dont leave it in the loft like i did for years , GET IT OUT AND GET FIT with THE BEST all round suspension training TRX 👍
There are TRX trainers in my new gym and every time I go there I want to try them. Thanks to your video I might as well do that next time I hit the gym! Really great instructions!! ~ Sandra
Hi Amy. Thank you for putting up this trx video for beginners like me. This is definitely better than the DVD that comes with the trx (or any other beginners' video on YT). Lol 😂 I'm gonna master this beginner's workout and work my way up. I'm a fan! More power, Amy 😊
Hi Amy! LOVE LOVE LOVE this beginner workout to TRX! I made my own TRX straps back in January and used this workout to introduce myself to the world of TRX--and haven't looked back since!! Thank You soooo much for posting your workout videos!! You are my own personal trainer and I just love you!! XOXO-Shari
As with the other comments, just like to say this a really good video to start TRX. Amy is really clear motivating and helpful, without being at all patronising! I took it to the gym to try the TRX equipment there and following this video gave me a good, enjoyable introduction TRX workout without making a fool of myself in front of the other gym members by tangling myself in the straps 😊
Awesome video thank you so much! I’ve been weight training for 13 years now but I’m trying to branch out and start incorporating some new stuff into my workouts, my gym has a TRX setup, so far I’ve used it for training back, but now I see there’s so much versatility to it so I’m absolutely going to start using the TRX straps for more of my workouts!
Excellent presentation Amy! I was given Suspension Straps as a gift, but I ready didn't know what to do with them. Your video has opened a world of possibilities for me. Thanks! :-)
Thank You so much! Perfect beginner lesson for me. I'm not so intimidated with this Strap anymore. Last workout though - the side plank might take a while to get it and get 'comfortable' :-). I can't wait to try your other TRX classes as soon as I get past the beginning stage.
Thank you for this. Would you make a similar video about full body TRX DUO for beginners and progressions (including full pull up), orderly sequenced (eg. from fully lengthened to fully shortened or the other way around). Thank you.
Wow this was a perfect challenge and I appreciated the modifications. It was cool to see what I was able to immediately progress and what I'll need to be practicing (hello one leg squat).
Hey Amy, My wife and I bought the TRX because it seemed like a good alternative to buying an expensive and space consuming weight set. We are both in the process of losing weight, I have lost apprx.60 lbs so far, and we were in the market for something to help us get more fit. I opened the box, downloaded the app and was immediately intimidated, I am always concerned about proper technique and form. Finding your beginners video (I looked through several) was the perfect solution. I did my first workout yesterday following your video and loved it. Got sweatier than expected. I plan on doing this video until I com comfortable with the movements then moving onto another one. If you have any recommendations for which of your TRX videos to go to when I am done with the beginners. Thanks for this.
Hey Amy!! Great workout!! Could you recommend programming to go along with? For example would you recommend tabata style (timed) or would you recommend sets & reps? If so, where would you recommend to begin? Thanks!!

I'm a 68 years old male and looking to get into TRX. I've seen it advertised for years but never bought one.
