I swapped the gym for a TRX suspension trainer, and I was impressed by the results

I tried replacing my usual daily gym session with a TRX suspension trainer workout - (Harry Bullmore / The Independent)

Gym-free workouts are on the up, and from what I’ve seen as a fitness writer, this trend is only going to gain momentum. It makes sense. In an age where we’re busier than ever, they’re cheaper and less time-consuming than a trip to the gym. But in the absence of personal trainers and equipment, how do you make gym-free workouts fun, varied and effective?

The TRX suspension trainer could solve this problem. The versatile strap can be slung over a door or hung from any sturdy anchor point overhead, then you can use the handles on either end to push and pull your way to a full-body workout. There’s also an app filled with sessions to suit most fitness goals.
