"I originally got certified as an ISSA personal trainer in 1994,” shares ISSA grad Richard Kahle. “I've held the certifications over the years since then, and it's always been a point of pride when talking with clients about how long I've been certified and how high quality the ISSA certifications are."
Developed by a former Navy SEAL, TRX Suspension Trainers have revolutionized functional training. These suspension trainers are designed to be effective, portable, and versatile, making them a staple in modern fitness routines.
TRX straps offer numerous advantages for both trainers and clients:
Versatility: Ideal for various fitness goals, including strength, flexibility, and cardio.
“I was one of the early adopters and used it with my clients for fitness rehab as well as for athletes over the years. Now I use the Rip Trainer as well as the Suspension Trainer with most of my clients," explains Richard Kahle.
Adaptability: Suitable for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced athletes.
“TRX is a great adaptable system that provides people with an affordable option that can be used in any comprehensive training program.” says ISSA grad and TRX user David Humphries.
Mobility: Lightweight and compact, allowing you to train anywhere with minimal setup.
“Whether the goal is strength, flexibility or cardiorespiratory, the TRX suspension trainer can meet the need without spending a fortune or having multiple pieces of bulky equipment.” - Humphries.
ISSA certifications provide the knowledge needed to utilize TRX straps effectively. Trainers can create comprehensive programs that incorporate TRX exercises to maximize client results. For instance, combining bodyweight resistance with TRX exercises can enhance core stability and overall strength.
To integrate TRX into client programs, trainers should:
Start with basic exercises and progress to more advanced routines.
Ensure proper technique and safety.
Continuously seek further education and stay updated on the latest training methods.
TRX products can be used anywhere, making them ideal for diverse training environments. Whether in gyms, home workouts, or outdoor sessions, TRX provides the flexibility needed for effective training.
Addressing client hesitations and ensuring proper technique are crucial. Trainers should emphasize the benefits and safety of TRX training to build client confidence. Demonstrating proper form and gradual progression can help overcome these challenges.
