Here’s a fun TRX circuit workout to try! The exercises are beginning to intermediate level, but it is still very challenging.
The TRX is a great functional workout tool and is great for all levels. It’s portable, so you can do your workout almost anywhere. It is effective because it allows you to maximize body weight exercises, improve balance, stability, and flexibility. It is also fun and adds great variety to your regular workout. In this TRX circuit workout, every exercise becomes a core exercise.
Here is a great resource for instructions for most of the exercises.
Fun and Challenging TRX Circuit Workout
Warm up for about 10 minutes before starting the workout. Perform each exercise for 45 seconds, then move on quickly to the next one in the round. For exercises like lunges, do 45 seconds on each side.
When you’ve finished all the exercises in a round, repeat them before moving on to the next round (if you are time-challenged once through each round will still be a great workout!). Take a minute break between rounds.
Be sure to use good form for each exercise and keep your core engaged throughout. And remember, I’m a personal trainer, but I’m not your personal trainer. Always adapt workouts to suit your body and fitness level. Always consult your doctor before beginning a new exercise program.
Many gyms have a TRX station available to members. If yours doesn’t, or if you prefer home workouts (or workouts at the park, because this TRX circuit workout is portable!), the TRX Training Kit is available starting at just $99. (<– Affiliate link)

Hi Debbie. I was just looking at the TRX kits on Amazon. So tempted to buy it to add variety to my workouts. Happily pinning 🙂
CARLA
ahhhh and an uhoh.
MY TRX? Is still in the packing boxes 4 months post move :0)
I need to get that thing out and UP.
Angela @ happy fit mama
I haven’t done TRX in years. It’s so fun! I saw two people at the playground last week using their straps. I should have asked to jump in for a round or two!
Debbie Woodruff
You should have! I bring my TRX for workouts with my cross country team. I just hook it up to a tree or a fence.
Jennifer
my joke about the TRX is that “they always look so innocent just hanging there”
Debbie Woodruff
Haha! I’m going to share that with my clients!

I really, really, really want to add some TRX straps to my home gym. So much so that I pinned this workout, assuming I will get them!
Debbie Woodruff
They’re a great addition! So functional and fun to use, and a great price too.

I’ve never done TRX but have been meaning to. My only problem is that I’m naturally uncoordinated that I’m afraid of getting myself injured or overextended with some of the moves I’ve seen. Have heard a lot of great things about suspension training though.
Debbie Woodruff
Suspension training is great! Maybe try working with a trainer to learn how to do it properly.
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner
I haven’t used my TRX in a while but I have the home version and I could certainly do this workout. Looks great!
Debbie Woodruff
Go for it!
Cyndi
I’ve never tried a TRX workout. It looks fun and effective. Nice that it’s portable too.
My gym has it, I should give it a try!!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home
I have a TRX and I need to set it up!
Fabiola Rodriguez
