TRX Training

TRX Extreme

Yoga

This total body workout system will challenge your core strength, balance, and flexibility as you perform exercises with a portion of your body suspended by the TRX trainer. Using this unique training style, the TRX Suspension trainer will rapidly improve your functional strength and kinesthetic awareness using innovative exercises that require nothing more than a TRX and your own body. Whether you are an elite athlete or just starting out, the TRX has something new to offer you.

Take your Suspension Training to the extreme! This class will be a bit more challenging by building upon more advanced strength and cardio exercises developed for the TRX system. Goal will be to take fewer breaks so the heart rate stays elevated to give you a tough and highly effective workout.

This gentler, slower paced practice makes it more accessible to people of all sizes, ages, and fitness levels. The class removes any fears or challenges in doing yoga, while it also assists with stress reduction and weight management. It creates an atmosphere of safety and comfort that fosters self-esteem and body awareness.
