    TRX: Full-Body Training with Your Own Body Weight

    by John Harris Fitness

    As diverse as this workout is, the range of muscle groups it targets is equally extensive. Non-elastic straps, utilized while swinging, lying down, or standing, sculpt the dream figure – all without external weights. Besides strengthening the entire musculoskeletal system, engaging interconnected muscle chains enhances balance and coordination.

    What is TRX Exactly?

    In addition to your own body, the training device in this workout is an inelastic strap system, either suspended from the ceiling or mounted on a structure, allowing it to hang freely. Therefore, ample open space is needed around it. Each strap is adjustable in length and has a loop at the end that serves as a grip in many exercises. This type of training was originally developed by US soldiers who required efficient training with minimal equipment to stay fit.

    The training position in TRX can vary significantly due to the versatile device. The strap system enables over 300 different exercises to be performed. Your own body weight serves as the sole counterbalance.

    Artist: Matthew Jejune

    Ideal Training for All Levels

    In TRX training, exercises can be performed at various difficulty levels. The athlete can easily decide how easy or challenging they want to make the workout. Shifting your body weight and therefore your center of gravity, for example, further back during certain exercises also intensifies the training effect.

    This autonomy makes TRX training perfect for beginners or as optimal rehabilitation after a sports injury.

    Advantages of TRX Training

    Few workouts emphasize body coordination as much as TRX does. You'll clearly recognize which exercises come naturally to you and which demand a lot of energy. You can use this knowledge to focus more on body regions or exercises that are challenging for you. This ensures that you evenly train your entire body and balance muscular imbalances.

    The focus of TRX training is on improving inter- and intramuscular coordination. Your body is trained uniformly, requiring muscles to work in perfect harmony. This also benefits your daily life, making you more agile and dexterous, while combating tensions arising from muscular imbalances. Back pain can be alleviated, and your overall fitness improved sustainably.

    Rapid Success Guaranteed

    Due to the high vitality and intensity of the movements, TRX training allows for a full-body workout in a short time. In just 20 minutes, you can achieve maximum results. Your muscles are effectively built, and fat burning is at its peak. This makes TRX training a perfect complement to traditional strength training. It's best to integrate it into your workout routine immediately. This quick and intense workout is also ideal for those with limited time for training.

    With an enormous variety of exercises, there's certainly something suitable for every athlete and muscle group. To achieve maximum results, exercises must be executed precisely and correctly. Feel free to drop by – our coaches are more than happy to assist and show you the correct techniques. Nothing stands in the way of this power training, from which you'll soon observe the first results.

    Even Miss Austria 2016 (Dragana Stankovic) and Miss Universe Austria 2016 (Dajana Dzinic) swear by TRX training.

    A varied and dynamic training session for the whole body, with a high training effect. Dumbbells, body bars and tubes are used.

    John Harris HIIT

    High intensity interval training, HIIT, is fast, intense and burns a lot of calories. HIIT is a training approach that alternates high-intensity with several rest periods. This stimulates metabolism, increases oxygen uptake, lowers blood pressure, contributes to a healthy cardiovascular system, stimulates insulin sensitivity and lowers cholesterol.

    Power Back

    Power Back is a workout class specifically designed for the back.
    After a warm-up, in which the joints and muscles are prepared for the subsequent strengthening, special exercises for the entire back, abdominal and gluteal muscles follow, with or without additional equipment, which are first performed in a standing position and then on the floor. In the conclusion follows a short stretching and mobilization of the entire body.

    HIIT & FIT

    HIIT & FIT is an advanced course. However, the intensity is self-determined and therefore also suitable for anyone who wants to challenge themselves in the group.
    The duration of the unit is 60 minutes and takes place in the functional room. Strength endurance, stamina and performance are improved through functional, coordination demanding exercises. There will be 2-3 rounds of circuit training completed in the group. Kettlebell, balls, dumbbell and barbell, battle rope, Bosu Ball as well as exercises with your own body weight. The motivating music provides the right mood and the correct execution of the technique is always the top priority for the trainer for a joint, safe training.

    A short warm-up prepares the joints and muscles for the workout. A mixture of pure bodyweight exercises and sometimes small equipment such as kettlebells, slam balls, dumbbells, weight plates or resistance bands can be expected. Common strength training movement patterns such as push press, squat press, push-ups, lunges, as well as various more intense or explosive cardio exercises such as pushing, pulling (resisted sprints) or ball slams. Breaks between intervals are kept short, as our goal is to exhaust the body and develop mental and physical resistance.
    The course is suitable for moderate to very advanced participants.

    Flexi Tone

    Flexi Tone is a strengthening workout with a swinging bar, reaching specific areas of action in the deep muscle layers.
    The FLEXI-BAR® is set swinging with a small movement of the hand. Afterwards, the FLEXI-BAR® should be kept swinging by short impulses. The more rigid the arm can be made to be the swing transmitter, the greater the amplitude and correspondingly more intense the workout. The duration of the swing depends on the strength, endurance and coordination ability of the user. And it is precisely these that need to be improved by training with the FLEXI-BAR®.

    Cardio Step

    Cardio Step training is ideal for increasing the body's endurance, optimizing coordination and boosting fat burning. 
    Cardio Step implies cardio training on a stepboard. This stepboard is a fitness device that allows you to simulate and train climbing up a step.

    Fascial Training

    Fascia training is ideal as a balance after a hard day or an intense workout. However, fascia training can also be considered as a workout in its own right. Depending on one's own commitment, this course can be very relaxing and beneficial or intensive and balanced. Here you decide for yourself how intensive the course should be.

    Smovey

    Training with the Smovey rings is a gentle to powerful whole body workout. Ideal for recreational athletes, returners, beginners or for people with impairments.
    The sponge rubber grip provides a pleasant, soft feeling in the hands. Due to the weight of approx. 500g per Smovey ring and the gentle vibrations which occur during swinging, there is an increased activation of the metabolism and lymphatic system during and after training.

    Cross Country Spin

    This is where our modern spinning bikes come into play. The indoor mountain bike session is accompanied by fast and motivating music. This hour improves endurance and stamina at medium intensity. Ideal for the figure and a longer breath!

    Spin Endurance

    Basic endurance training, on the spinning bike, to activate fat metabolism. The body is stressed, but not completely exhausted. The heart rate and speed should be kept largely constant over a longer period of time, which stimulates the fat metabolism.

    Indoor Cycle

    The endurance training, which is easy on the joints, takes place on a special ergometer. The warm-up is followed by a cardio part in which the pace is adjusted to the music. This allows you to simulate climbs as well as flats and descents. This is followed by cool-down and stretching.
    Indoor Cycle is suitable for everyone because everyone can adjust the resistance on the bike themselves, and thus all performance levels can train together and improve their performance. The successes are greater through various inputs, such as intervals, than with mere ergometer or bike riding. The rousing music makes the training particularly motivating and much more fun than a solo workout on the exercise bike.

    Spin Intervall

    This training session with the indoor bike promotes strength, speed, tempo, timing, rhythm and the ability to recover.
    All techniques and all intensity ranges can be applied. The interval method, a constant alternation between load and recovery, allows for performance peaks to push. Recovery phases as a quick energy refuelling station or moderate load. Training takes place in both the aerobic and anaerobic ranges.

    Basic Spin

    Basic Spin is an intensive indoor cycling class that teaches basic adjustments as well as basic techniques. Similar to a dance on the bike, you switch between different strengths, hand positions and postures. This way you get everything out of your workout and can really power out!

    Wake up Cycle

    Wakeup Cycle is cardiovascular training "to wake up" on a special ergometer. The warm-up is followed by a cardio part, where the pace is adjusted to the music. This makes it possible to simulate climbs as well as flats and descents. Finally, there is cool-down and stretching.
    Indoor Cycle is suitable for everyone because everyone can adjust the resistance on the bike themselves, and thus all performance levels can train together and improve their performance. The successes are immensely greater through the various inputs, such as intervals, than with mere ergometer or bicycle riding.

    Harris Kick

    Mutual respect, working together, physical will, powerful elegance. Traditional Asian martial arts meets the modern fitness world. The mental and physical power of martial arts and various martial arts schools fuse with cardio and functional elements to create a sweaty and innovative experience.

    Fitness Boxing

    After a targeted warm-up, learning and consolidating boxing punching techniques is a key pillar of this session.
    Improve your strength, endurance, conditioning and coordination at boxing camp. Don't worry! There will be no fighting, but there will be real sweating. Jump ropes are also used to improve your speed and coordination. Towards the end of the hour, it gets really intense again to burn calories.
