The carabiner of the TRX  (can be Suspension Trainer or Rip Trainer) shouldn’t be clipped directly to Xmount. It is recommended to use TRX Anchor Carabiner which is already included in the TRX package.

From the safety point of view, TRX® Xmount (X-curtain TRX®) is recommended by Fitness Anywhere and is subjected to security guarantee.

TRX Training Safety Guidelines

• Before each use of TRX Suspension Trainer, always check your TRX.
• Never use TRX gear if it seems to be damaged. Do not capture your TRX Trainer to an anchor point with sharp edges.
• Do not “saw” your TRX in a pulley-like fashion. Sawing will cause excessive wear of the TRX’s stabilizing loop. If the yellow colored nylon begins to show through the black stabilization loop, replace your TRX.

Make sure you have the right TRX accessories before heading outside to train:
