TRX Suspension Training

Catrin,
Do you have an unfinished basement of garage? You can also buy a metal pipe and install that within the floor joists/ceilings joists. It's very stable if done correctly, and quite inexpensive.

Have fun with your new straps

I've a second floor apartment, so sadly that isn't an option. Thankfully they have no problem with my installing wall stud anchors. They aren't that inexpensive, but each anchor is rated for 300 lbs - so considering I weigh 124 I think they will work I am having a handyman friend of mine install them so I don't wind up messing up the wall.

Another option would be to install the wall mounts in a ceiling; it would give you more angles to work with in terms of using your bodyweight. I have a set of the wall mounts as well, and at some plan to moun them to the ceiling.

Have fun with the straps!!

My apartment complex wouldn't allow a ceiling mount - I asked. I think as long as they were properly installed it would have been fine but I didn't want to have problems with my lease. Let me know when you do the ceiling mount and how you like it. It certainly takes the wall out of the equation - it can't get in the way regardless of what you do. The straps seem rather longer than TRX straps to me, though I could be mistaken.

My straps do actually hang from the ceiling now, and have always been there.

I'll be anxious to hear what you think of your straps once you get into a routine of using them. There certainly are TONS that you can do with them

We do a lot with the TRX in my group training - so am already accustomed to working with them. The wall is simply in the way right now as the only doors sturdy enough to work with are next to a wall to the side (and on two sides for one), so I really need the wall anchors to do any real work with them.

Well, as you know there are no limits to what you can do with the straps, so have fun using some of th methods that you are already accustomed to... AND coming up with others that suit your workouts at home
