Is TRX Suspension Training Right for You?

When starting a workout program, it’s important to find something that works well for you. Exercise shouldn’t be something you hate to do; in fact, the more reasons you have to enjoy your workout, the more likely you are to make it a habit. Here at Vitruvian, we incorporate TRX Suspension Training in every program for its myriad of benefits. Here’s how training with us and the TRX system will help you reach your goals!


Enjoy Endless Customization

There are more than 300 exercises you can do with a TRX suspension trainer. Since most human movement can be categorized as locomotion, manipulation, or striking, why plant yourself on a bench or a machine to exercise when you don’t operate that way in real life? The TRX system will Make Your Body The Machine ™, enabling a comprehensive workout that will help you achieve your goals.


Each movement in a TRX class at Vitruvian is adaptable to your abilities, so any exercise can be made more or less difficult by repositioning your body. Simply put, you are less likely to plateau because you can make any exercise more of a challenge. Countless variations mean that you can constantly push yourself and enhance your coordination, strength, agility, and stamina.


Build Core Strength

All movement in the TRX will require core stabilization work. One or more extremity will always be in the TRX and one or more extremity will always be on the ground, so your core is constantly engaged. Whether you’re using the TRX to squat, row, or do push-ups, you’ll be using your abdominals and back muscles to stabilize your body. This inherent core work is fundamental for injury prevention, so the more you train with us on the TRX, the better prepared you are for any functional movement outside of the fitness studio.


Be a Part of an Inclusive Community

Since the TRX system is so versatile in its use, people of any background or ability can use it. Young or not-so-young, beginners or experts, athletes, cyclists, weightlifters, yogis–it doesn’t matter, everyone can use the TRX and have a challenging, fun workout. Rehabbing an injury? You can use the TRX. Simply put, this suspension training system has benefits for any person at any stage of their wellness journey.


Because the TRX suspension trainer is so versatile, we can all do the same exercises at the same time. If you’re new, you’re easing yourself into the moves; if you’re a regular, you’re pushing yourself harder. Either way, we’re here to support each other and become stronger individuals and a stronger community.  Contact us now to schedule your first class on these suspension trainers and see what all the TRX fuss is about!

Every time you pick up a dumbbell or load a barbell, you’re faced with making a decision: How heavy should I go? Too light, and you’re just passing the time and your body never gets the signal to adapt. Too heavy, and you risk poor form or injury. Somewhere in the middle is the “sweet spot” where strength, muscle, bone, and metabolic improvements are stimulated. The question is: how do you find that sweet spot without risking over-doing it or under-doing it. Choosing the right weight can be a tricky process that involves your experience, training history, daily energy levels, focus, goals, hopes, and dreams. That’s where Reps in Reserve (RIR) comes in. If you finish a set of squats and you know, deep down, you could have squeezed out three more reps before you collapsed, that’s 3 RIR.

How Vitruvian’s new partnership with DexaFit Denver helps you fight bone loss, build muscle, and personalize your fitness – starting with real data. Vitruvian Fitness has partnered with DexaFit Denver to bring you three powerful tools for assessing and improving your health: the DEXA Scan , VO₂ Max Test , and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test . These aren’t gimmicks – they’re scientifically backed ways to track meaningful progress in your training. If you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you're at a turning point where training isn’t just about looking better – it’s about aging better . As the saying goes, “What gets measured gets managed.” And just because that’s a relic from my corporate past doesn’t make it any less true. Like your annual bloodwork, these tests give you a snapshot of important health markers that offer direction, motivation, and a baseline to measure progress against. Here’s what each test measures: DEXA Scan – bone density, lean body mass, and visceral fat VO₂ Max Test – cardiovascular fitness and aerobic efficiency Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – how many calories you burn at rest (your metabolic baseline)
