TRX is a full-body strength workout that utilizes a person’s own body weight instead of relying on machines or dumbbells. Taylor Polli, a personal trainer and TRX instructor at Crunch gym, compares the workout to a simple version of Reformer Pilates or anti-gravity yoga. “Although this is whole-body suspension training, you use your core for all 45 minutes of the class.” While TRX classes seem to lean heavier on the male side, it’s just as female friendly - especially for the work it does on your abs. If you’ve always wondered what a class is like, here are a few things to keep in mind before giving it a shot.

• Individual or group: TRX sessions are available individually or as group classes, either at a gym or in a private training facility. Make sure you ask before jumping into the mix, as some facilities prefer to train beginners together for their first class.
• Movement on a plane: For the duration of this class your body will be suspended while moving forward, backward, or side to side. This class is made effective by its repetition of movement to tone the adjoining muscles.
• Freedom: The TRX bands give you the freedom of mobility. You are able to move around differently than you would be able to on your own, creating a foundation for core stability. The workout targets all of your muscles groups, but there is a lot of emphasis placed on the core.
