Home TRX System - which one?

BKWDR

Looking at getting my own TRX System for use at home, just have to pick between one of the following; Not really a lot in comparison but has anyone used either and could sway me one way or the other??

Also do they work on *every* door? I've read all the reviews just would worry that my doors are fairly snug and wouldnt have much room either side etc.

Any help would be great

They are too cheap to be genuine, they are a popular item to fake. So you may as well get some other alternative, which could be a lot cheaper.

Yeah granted that they are cheap but sure i watched an entire video on YT where he compared the genuine Vs the knock off he had bought and the only main difference was the box it came in and the colours of the buckles ?!?

TBH it was either one of these or the get fit system that is 40$ online that is similar and genuine.

What alternatives are there? I've read about rings and cargo bands?

The fakes are not just a different colour, they will probably be of a worse quality so could break faster. Its like fake branded t shirts, I would rather just get a dunnes one since I know it will have gone through at least some quality checks and they have some reputation to keep.

I have rings and really like them. I would also have a look at this one www.shamrockgym.ie

Its similar to the trx but has dip bars, and the removable chinup bar. You could get additional straps along with the shamrock gym to make the straps adjustable, then you can do most things the trx could

Had seen that shamrock bar in my travels, and looks good, but to be honest would be wary that the bulk of it is a bit off putting, as in it will stay in the corner or a room or hanging if it goes unused for a period of time (likely) and not easy stored.

How do you go about extending with those straps?

I gave a link to an ebay shop selling decent adjustable straps. They would just loop through the existing loops on the shamrock gym ones.

You can use them for lots of other things too, e.g. if you were not able to do a pullup you could use a strap to put your foot in, like a horse stirrup, and so aid yourself up.

Great , thanks for the help, i would probably air on the side of getting one of the TRX systems as i've only gotten over the years worth of slagging off the missus on a ab roller i bought years back which is now living in the attic.

I have the trx official black and yellow one quality is far superior to the generic ones in my gym plus the door clamp is brilliant and hasn't put a scratch on my wife's good oak doors if it did it would be in the bin I'm sure

Great, was thinking the black and yellow one is the one to go for. Can I am, there's feck all gap at top of my door, does it go through and door click shut?

Don't need a gap it's the strap that goes they the door the other side is a padded anchor which holds everything
