Your homemade version of the TRX is, by far, THE best out there ... I've looked at a lot of them. The fact that your handles disconnect from the main strap makes your system stand apart from most all others, making it much more versatile. I am able to connect BOTH ends of the main strap to ONE handle for single arm bicep curls, or .... even better ... I am able to connect BOTH ends of the main strap to BOTH handles using ONE clip, and do close-grip high face pulls when working my rear delts. I can also connect the ends of the main strap to a Tricep Rope for variations of bicep curls and face pulls. Bravo!! Oh, and the Door Anchor?? So simple, but none of us would ever have thought of that! Absolutely BRILLIANT!! Thank you for sharing.
the best and easiest way to build a suspension trainer do your research watch a couple of videos and you will come back to this one this guy is a genius
This is an amazing tutorial!! I've looked at all the others and this is simply the best and the closest to the original system! It works really well although I'm gonna make another more 'heavy duty' version for longer lasting use. You are a genius mate and I can't thank you enough!!!
Great Tutorial, the only things i would change are:,1. replace the lock-carabiner with a steel ring. 2. The main strap should be minimum 75 centimetres. 3. The straps underneath the handle grips should be 80 centimetres. Greetz
Great tutorial ,i just made mine. Instead of the pipes ,i just bought the pefect fitness perfect handles and they work great,and made myTRX for under 35.00.Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge on how to get the trx for a fraction of what it really costs.
Your an engineering genius and you've found a great niche to use it in. Keep doing your thing man because the underground needs this. We need smarts way to keep healthy through food and exercise that won't break the bank. Thanks again for taking the time to share your process. the saving money genre is going to make u rich.
smart swedish. good video. very clear instructions. just finished mine off today with the paper clips - i had to find some. bread ties didn't work very well. i used $7 straps from amazon and tennis racket grip on the handles - i had those laying around. also, for perfect pullups i clipped the handles side-by-side on rafters in my room. it hangs off looped rope
Great tutorial, I´ll be going out to get the supplies when the shops open tomorrow. On the subject of knots, there is a knot called a "tape knot" which climbers use for exactly this purpose. My guess is that if climbers use it then it is probably the safest knot for anyone who is worried about smashing their face in. Hope this helps.
Can you do a video on either 'The Stick' the original blue one (used to massage out muscles and recover faster and they work). Or homemade rings, pullup bar to do muscle ups on, or something to do dips on. These would all be awesome and very appreciated!
Great video, I made one like this about 6 months ago. Have you ever made a kettlebell? If you have, I would like to see it. I am loking to make a kettlebell next.
Cool tutorial bro! I will definitely use your design, but I think I'll make everything a bit more heavy duty, cause I don't think it will hold me otherwise (! weigh about 95 kgs!)...
@UFitnessChannel Bulgarian training bag, huh? Hmm, sounds interesting, I will look that up to see what it is, thanks for the tip. This video was awesome by the way. I am, as I type this making a Suspension training kit as well, only I'm using Karate belts, and a doorway pull-up bar thing. Peace.
superb vid,just made the first part,but couldnt bare to use a paperclip so i sacrificed an old rucksack and used the plastic buckle its not as easy as the paperclip but it looks a lot more pleasing on the eye......defo the best diy system ive seen on tinterweb!
These are great videos. The only problem I'm running into is the lashing strap as it's going into the handle is already beginning to show signs of wear after just a few uses. Have you run into this?
Made one and use it for a couple weeks.. It was OK but it did not hold-up well and I feel like it can snap on me any minute.. XD So I bought the TRX Force eventually. BUT great video anyway!
made one 5 minutes ago :-} looks really nice, but I'm a little worried about these knots which are in the handles, they have a change of slipping off. Need to find a way to secure them properly, because I cant train 100% then I know that there is a chance of smashing face down :D
Grymt bra jobbat! Byggde ett par idag, utifrån dina mått. Men jag sydde rätt mycket för att få det lite mer som originalet. Använde bambu i handtagen, vilket var snyggt men inte helt optimalt. Hittar inga 25mm vp-rör. Var hittade du dina?
Late response I know, but here's a video of what you asked for, only I didn't use karate belts (which worked just fine for some exercises). The system on this video is awesome, I even go on tree branches with it. :)))) Here's the link: watch?v=EiTSj6QXojE&feature=plcp
LOL @ rageface. funny the lighter is shaped as an extinguisher. great vid mate! im certainly not paying TRX for their overpriced straps. KETTLEBELL VID!!!
oh my god...I stopped at the knot of the handle. This is f..cking dangerous. This know will first decrease the strength of the belt and second will loosen up over time... Your idea was good but this TRX is very dangerous, really. The greatest risk is that the knot in the pipe will open up over time. Research from climbers has shown that this type of know loosens up a tiny bit whenever you load it and then relax (just like you do with suspension training.
@veloman41 - you'll look like a donk... If you can't afford the money to buy one, it doesn't show a great deal of commitment on your part to begin with.

More than year and a half and people still comment it, so it only means that this very good, I particularly enjoyed watching the vid so I liked it ;-)
Sweet!!! very easy, very descriptive good job. Took me 20 minutes to build.
Skitbra! Jag har redan gjort en egen TRX, men annars hade jag använt dina instruktioner!
Och söt är du också!
Awesome just made mine last night it works pretty damn good! Thank you, I'm looking forward to trying it out even more tomorrow
Just made mine - they look awesome.
Thanks for the perfect step-by-step instructions. Now for the door anchor :)
Thanks! Works great! How about a DIY Bosu Ball?
Oh and my TRX straps turned out AMAZING! I'll do a video response once I setup the door anchor or pullup bar for them. :)
Can you do a video on either 'The Stick' the original blue one (used to massage out muscles and recover faster and they work). Or homemade rings, pullup bar to do muscle ups on, or something to do dips on. These would all be awesome and very appreciated!
Very nicely done! How about a tut on home made gymnastic rings?
Awesome! Would love to see the kettle ball video.
Excellent work young man.
Thanks buddy, It's the best video I've ever found. I'll make it this weekend and I let you know how It works.
Thanks for sharing this technique, useful information and simple methods to make TRX in home.

Donde consigues las tiras esas que el usa?? Yo también soy de Venezuela, lo hiciste?
Cool tutorial bro!
I will definitely use your design, but I think I'll make everything a bit more heavy duty, cause I don't think it will hold me otherwise (! weigh about 95 kgs!)...
keep up the videos, they're awesome. you should do a video on parallettes

Have you finished the "kettlebell" video yet? I plan on making your model of the TRX and some homemade kettlebells would be awesome too! thanks!

You are awesome. I've subscribed and look forward for more of your tutorials! :)

Great tutorial.
Very smart!
Thanks Buddy from Chile!
you're a boss, I'm gonna make this someday when I saved 20 bucks hahaha
Great video, but I don't see why do we need the upper carabiner?
Great vid men!! do you use duct tape for the grip?
made one 5 minutes ago :-} looks really nice, but I'm a little worried about these knots which are in the handles, they have a change of slipping off. Need to find a way to secure them properly, because I cant train 100% then I know that there is a chance of smashing face down :D
really good i'll do for shure hi from mexico
Grymt bra jobbat! Byggde ett par idag, utifrån dina mått. Men jag sydde rätt mycket för att få det lite mer som originalet. Använde bambu i handtagen, vilket var snyggt men inte helt optimalt. Hittar inga 25mm vp-rör. Var hittade du dina?
Thanks man really appreciate it 👏👏🔝
is there a way to protect the straps rubbing the pvc pipe corners?
Great design. Thanks for the video.
I was only able to find ratchet straps can you do something using those?
thanx buddy,, i really love it.....!!!!!!!
Awesome vid thanks
Late response I know, but here's a video of what you asked for, only I didn't use karate belts (which worked just fine for some exercises). The system on this video is awesome, I even go on tree branches with it. :))))

the BIC lighter never fails lol
How long is your lashing straps total
LOL @ rageface. funny the lighter is shaped as an extinguisher. great vid mate! im certainly not paying TRX for their overpriced straps. KETTLEBELL VID!!!
why the reef knot instead of the bowline knot?
Muy bueno gracias
Where are you from?
great video (Y)
Merci / gracias!
Cool lighter
oh my god...I stopped at the knot of the handle. This is f..cking dangerous. This know will first decrease the strength of the belt and second will loosen up over time...
