In addition to the exercise strap, the TRX system comes with a demonstration video (DVD actually) a workout DVD, and a waterproof (i.e. sweat-proof) military oriented fitness guide. The strap even comes in a mesh bag that makes it easy to launder. The demonstration video is a must see. There are so many things you can do with the TRX that you will literally spend the first couple of hours (I did) learning how to actually get yourself into the required positions to do the drills. Once you figure out the positioning though, the routines are a snap and, because you¡¯re using your own weight and body angle, it¡¯s easy enough to adjust in mid set (certainly much easier than swapping 45 lb. plates for 35 lb. plates on a bench.)
The only limitation to the TRX system is that it requires an elevated attachment point. This point can be a door (the system even comes with a placard you put on the other side of the door to warn folks you¡¯re using the door to exercise with so no one opens it and hurts you) a tree, a wall, a fence, a buried pipe, you name it. As long as you can hang the strap, you can get in a workout
