🎁 How to apply the TRX Training Discount Code
If you just want the short answer: buy the TRX HOME2 System if you train at home,
buy the TRX PRO4 System if you train clients or train hard several times a week, and buy the
TRX Tactical Gym only if you train outdoors in boots. Every current TRX Suspension
Trainer uses the same straps and the same adjusters. What actually changes between them is
the handle material, the anchors in the box, and the carabiner.
I have been coaching on a TRX since 2011 and have owned three of these. The honest version
of this comparison is shorter than most articles want it to be.
Which TRX Should You Buy — Quick Answer by User Type
Find yourself in this table and you are done in thirty seconds.
| You are… | Buy this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A beginner training at home | TRX HOME2 System | Foam handles are kinder to bare hands, and grip is what limits beginners first. |
| A trainer with clients | TRX PRO4 System | Rubber handles wipe clean between clients, and the locking carabiner deters theft. |
| Training hard, daily, alone | TRX PRO4 System | High volume plus sweat is exactly what rubber handles are for. |
| A frequent traveler | TRX HOME2 System | Lighter than the PRO4. Hotel doors are the limiting factor, not the straps. |
| Training outdoors, in boots | TRX Tactical Gym | Oversized foot cradles fit boots, and khaki webbing hides dirt. |
💡 The most useful thing to know before you spend anything: the
straps, webbing and adjusters are the same across the current lineup. Going up the range buys
you different handles and one more anchor, not a stronger trainer.
TRX Models Compared Side by Side
These are the specs TRX publishes on its own product pages.

|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | All levels and all goals | Avid users and professional trainers | Military use, outdoor-ready |
| Handles | Dense foam for comfort | Textured rubber for durability | Textured rubber for durability |
| Foot cradles | Adjustable | Adjustable | Oversized, sized for combat boots |
| Anchors in the box | Door anchor, suspension anchor | Door anchor, suspension anchor, Xtender | Door anchor, suspension anchor, Xtender |
| Locking carabiner | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |

| Weight | 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg) | 2 lbs (0.9 kg) | 1.2 lbs (0.5 kg) |
| Warranty | 2 years | 2 years | 2 years |
Notice what is not in that table. No row for strength, no row for number of
exercises, no row for results. That is not an oversight — those things are identical,
because the straps are identical.
Why TRX is Popular
The TRX Suspension Trainer was invented by Randy Hetrick, a former U.S. Navy
SEAL squadron commander who stitched the first version from parachute webbing because he needed
to train where there was no gym. That origin explains the product: it assumes you have a door,
a tree or a beam, and nothing else.
TRX Trainer was originally invented by the American military
What keeps it popular twenty years later is that you change the difficulty by moving
your feet. Step toward the anchor and a row gets easier. Step back and it gets harder.
One tool covers a beginner and an advanced athlete in the same household.
New to all this? Start with
what a TRX Suspension Trainer actually
is.
- Vector Resistance Principle — the more you lean into the straps, the greater the share of your bodyweight you move. Your angle is your load.
- Pendulum Principle — starting away from the neutral, vertical hang of the straps means gravity either helps you or fights you through the rep.
- Stability Principle — narrow your stance or stand on one leg and your base of support shrinks, so the deep stabilizers of the trunk and hip work to keep you stacked.
Why it works: because one end of the chain is unstable, your core cannot switch off. A TRX Chest Press becomes an anti-extension task for the abdominal wall; a TRX Single Arm Row becomes an anti-rotation task for the obliques.
Coaching rule: scale with your angle before you add reps, sets or sessions. Beginners almost always add volume too early.
1. TRX Home 2 System
The current model is officially the TRX HOME2 System. TRX Home, TRX Home Gym
and TRX Home 2 all point to the same product. This is the one I recommend to most people who ask.
The TRX HOME Suspension Trainer is a lightweight, highly portable and scalable training system.
In the box: the HOME2 Suspension Trainer, a door anchor, a suspension anchor
and a mesh carry bag. It weighs 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg), with a two-year warranty and a free TRX App
trial that becomes a subscription afterward.
You will learn how to use TRX properly and how to customize solutions that put emphasis on strength, speed and flexibility.
The handles are dense foam — the real reason to buy the HOME2, and a genuine
advantage rather than a downgrade. Foam is more forgiving on bare palms in the first few weeks,
when grip is the weakest link in every pull.
👍 What is good about it
- The most comfortable handles in the lineup for untrained hands
- Lighter than the PRO4, so the better travel option of the two
- Same straps and adjusters as the PRO4 — you are not getting a weaker trainer
👎 Where it falls short
- No Xtender in the box. Ceilings over 9 feet (2.7 m) or thick tree trunks mean buying one separately.
- No locking carabiner. Fine at home, not ideal in a shared gym.
- Foam absorbs sweat over years of heavy use in a way rubber does not.
- The door anchor will eventually mark a painted frame. Training daily? Mount a fixed anchor — see the TRX anchoring guide.
Once it is hanging, you need a plan. Start with this

⚠️ Buy from the official TRX store or an authorized retailer. Suspension trainers
are among the most counterfeited fitness equipment there is, and a fake strap is holding your
whole bodyweight. Here is
how to tell a genuine TRX from a fake.
2. TRX PRO Kit
The current version is the TRX PRO4 System. Older names you will still see
online — TRX Pro Kit, TRX Pro System, PRO3 — refer to earlier generations. PRO4 is what ships today.
The current generation. Older PRO Kit, PRO System and PRO3 listings all refer to earlier versions.
In the box: the PRO4 Suspension Trainer, a door anchor, a suspension anchor,
an Xtender and a mesh carry bag. It weighs 2 lbs (0.9 kg), with the same two-year warranty.
TRX PRO 4 Kit contains the strongest and most secure Suspension Trainer
Exactly three things separate it from the HOME2: textured rubber handles
(they take sweat and friction better than foam, and — the part that matters if you train other
people — you can actually wipe them down), a locking carabiner exclusive to
PRO4 models, and an included Xtender, which is a separate purchase on the HOME2.
👎 Where it falls short
- Train alone at home and you are unlikely to notice the difference. I will
say that plainly, even though PRO4 is the model I would earn more on. The straps are the same. - The heaviest of the three at 2 lbs (0.9 kg).
- Rubber feels harder in the hand than foam. Preferring foam is a legitimate preference, not a beginner mistake.
- Printed exercise material has largely moved into the app, which is a paid subscription after the trial.

3. TRX Tactical Gym
The outdoor and military-oriented model, previously sold as the TRX Force Kit and TRX Tactical T3.
TRX Tactical Suspension Trainer 👉 Construction, materials and design are identical with TRX PRO Kit.
In the box: the Tactical Suspension Trainer, a door anchor, a suspension
anchor, an Xtender and a drawstring backpack instead of a mesh bag. It is the
lightest of the three at 1.2 lbs (0.5 kg) — which surprises people who expect
the rugged model to be the heaviest.
The kit that became the Tactical Gym was sold for years as the TRX FORCE tactical conditioning program.
Handles are textured rubber, same as the PRO4. The real difference is that the
foot cradles are oversized, sized for combat boots — standard cradles are cut
for a training shoe.
TRX Tactical gym vs TRX Pro 4 – they differ only in the color and design of the handles
👍 What is good about it
- Oversized foot cradles genuinely work better in boots or heavy footwear
- Khaki webbing hides dirt if it lives in a pack and gets used on the ground
- Lightest model in the lineup, in a drawstring backpack rather than a mesh bag
👎 Where it falls short
- Most people should not buy this. Train in sneakers and those oversized
cradles are a downgrade — they sit looser around a normal shoe. - No locking carabiner, despite being the most rugged-sounding model. Only the PRO4 has one.
- Unless boots are part of your training, you are mostly paying for a color scheme and a bag.
TRX Tactical (Force Kit) pack includes all the possibilities of installing the TRX.
💡 The honest test: if you cannot finish the sentence “I need this because
I train in…” with the word boots, buy the PRO4 instead.
TRX PRO3 vs PRO4 — What Actually Changed
Short answer: PRO4 is the current generation and TRX no longer sells the PRO3.
If you are choosing between them new, there is no choice — PRO4 is what you can buy.
The question is still worth asking in two situations.
Looking at a PRO3 second-hand: the core strap system has not fundamentally
changed between generations, so a well-kept PRO3 still works. What matters on a used strap is
wear. Inspect the stitching at every load-bearing seam, the webbing where it runs through the
adjusters, and the carabiner gate. Any fraying, any deformed metal — walk away. The warranty
follows the original purchase, not you.
Already own a PRO3? Do not upgrade unless yours is worn. Spend the money on an
XMount or a proper fixed anchor
instead. That upgrade you feel every session, because it removes the setup friction that stops
most people training.
Do not buy a “new PRO3” from a marketplace listing. TRX has not sold that
generation in years, and a brand-new unit of a discontinued model is one of the clearest
signs of a counterfeit TRX.
TRX GO vs TRX All in One — What Happened to Both
This is the comparison that has genuinely changed, so here is the current situation:
neither the TRX GO nor a product called TRX All-in-One appears in the Suspension Trainers
lineup on the official TRX store today.
Two things are going on, and they get confused constantly.
“All-in-One” is no longer a model name. TRX now uses the phrase to describe
its current systems — the HOME2 as an all-in-one fitness solution, the PRO4 as an all-in-one
home gym solution. So if you searched for “TRX All in One” and landed on a HOME2 or PRO4 page,
that is why. The closest current equivalent to the TRX All-in-One is the HOME2 System.
The TRX GO was the ultralight, minimal kit — fewer accessories, smaller
package, aimed at travel. You will still find GO listings on third-party marketplaces, but TRX
no longer lists it among its own suspension trainers.
The TRX GO was the ultralight travel kit; TRX no longer lists it among its own suspension trainers.
That matters. When a model stops selling through official channels but keeps appearing on
marketplaces at attractive prices, that is exactly the gap counterfeits fill. Treat a bargain
GO listing as suspicious and check it against the
genuine versus fake TRX checklist.
👉 If you wanted a GO for travel, buy the HOME2 instead. At
1.5 lbs (0.7 kg) it packs into carry-on without a thought, it is current, and it is covered by
the warranty.
TRX Home vs TRX PRO — The Three Differences That Matter
This is the most searched version of the question, so here it is stripped to the bone.
Between the HOME2 and the PRO4, exactly three things differ:
- Handles. HOME2 is dense foam. PRO4 is textured rubber.
- Carabiner. PRO4 has a locking carabiner. HOME2 does not.
- Xtender. Included with the PRO4. Sold separately for the HOME2.
That is the complete list. Webbing, adjusters, both anchors, the adjustable foot cradles and
the two-year warranty are identical.
So who should pay more?
- Buy the PRO4 if other people will use the straps, you train five or more
times a week, the straps hang somewhere semi-public, or your anchor is a tall ceiling or thick tree. - Buy the HOME2 if it is just you, at home, a few times a week. You compromise
on nothing that matters — you choose softer handles and skip an accessory you will not need.

TRX versus resistance bands.
What Comes in the Box and What You Still Need
Every current TRX Suspension Trainer ships with a door anchor and a
suspension anchor, which together cover a door, a tree, a fence post and a beam.
You need roughly 6 to 8 feet (1.8–2.4 m) of clear floor behind your anchor point
and enough height to hang the straps. An apartment hallway works.
The two anchors in the box already cover a door, a beam, a rack crossbar and a tree.
What you may want to add later:
- Xtender — length for thick tree trunks or ceilings over 9 feet (2.7 m). Already in the PRO4 and Tactical boxes.
- XMount — a steel wall or ceiling mount. Training at home more than twice a week? This is the upgrade that changes your consistency, because setup drops to seconds.
- Invizi-Mount — a discreet fixed anchor that doubles as a picture hanger.
⚠️ Door safety, and I mean this. Use the door anchor only on a
solid-core door that opens away from you, and lock it if you can. DO NOT anchor
to sliding doors, glass doors, folding doors, doors with windows in them, hollow or lightweight
doors, or any door that is already damaged. Full setup walkthrough:
how to set up a TRX at home or outside.
Is a TRX Worth It Compared to Cheap Suspension Straps?
Not automatically, no. You are paying for the load-bearing hardware and for someone being
accountable for it: the stitching, the adjuster, the carabiner, a two-year warranty and a company
that replaces a failed unit. You are not paying for a better workout — a cheap strap and
a TRX both let you change your angle, and the physics does not care about the logo.
So buy on hardware confidence, not on the promise of better results. If you
do, start with the
full library of TRX workouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Bottom Line
Buy the HOME2 unless you have a specific reason not to. Buy the PRO4 if other
people will touch your straps. Buy the Tactical Gym only if you train in boots. Whichever you
pick, the straps are the same — results come from how often you step back from that anchor point.
