TRX Workout with Inventor Randy Hetrick
Former Navy Seal Randy Hetrick, CEO and inventor of TRX, explains the genesis of the TRX and leads a fast and effective workout that will get the heart pounding, burn a ton of calories, and increase both strength and flexibility. These fun and innovative exercises can be done anytime, anywhere, as part of a longer workout, or on its own as a quick metabolic blast.

I just want to say I am in the Air Force nothing close to a SEAL but I travel a lot and live in places without gyms and this is the best purchase I have made, it works great. 37 years between active duty and national guard and this certainly helps keep this old man in the game and many times because of experience far ahead of the younger guys. THANK YOU. Awesome tool.
Im an old fart of 75 and have had my TRX for 3 years.Its a winner and easy to use.It Rocks.
Howdy! In the early spring of 2020 I was going to be in the San Francisco area, where TRX is located, and reached out to Randy to film a part 2 (this was shot in 2013). But then 2020 happened and all travel was cancelled. Keep on the lookout for a part 2 as soon as Randy and can coordinate our schedules.
Love the TRX... Really sad that there are so many negative comments... Thank you Randy for bringing such an awesome option to the table! Thank you Pete for traveling to far away places to help educate our fitness communities!!

For those who have not trained TRX will say anything but us who know wat it takes we are ok with Randy.
Brilliant! Flogged him in like 10 minutes. Thanks for this video, its fascinating to see the creator of the TRX showing us how to use it.
Awesome video. I love my TRX . This opened my mind up to some new stuff. Thank you ❤
Awesome - just got mine and love discovering it's invented by a high school classmate - go Randy!!!
Funny, LOVE all the comments - positive and negative. Randy is an awesome guy and the TRX is a cool product. Are there others out there like it? Sure. Will other products provide the same benefit? Yes. Am I an old guy who could stand to lose a few lbs? ABSOLUTELY! But I do fitness because it's fun and I like to exercise; I have never had aspirations of being a model or a bodybuilder. The purpose of this video, and others like it that we did for BOSU, Total Gym, ViPR, etc, was to give people a 'behind the scenes' look at products with the people who created them. It takes a lot of blood, sweat, tears and money to bring a product to market and make it successful; I love hearing the stories of how products are conceived and created so I came up with this series (ACE XTRAs) to give others the same opportunity b/c it's interesting to hear the process of inventing a product. BTW I'm a 40-something father of two who had a bad spine injury due to rugby (playing in the front row) a number of years ago, I'm happy to walk, let alone be able to make a living in the fitness industry.

Sorry but TRX is nothing more than reinvented gymnastic rings... I don't hate it, but I think, people should realize it... The "inventor" doesn't actually bring anything new to a world... I am not saying that he copied gymnastic rings, but... think about it.

Thank you very much for a great video, I think you're super fit . People don't realize that when fitness trainors exercise, they do it at 100% capacity like you are doing in the video. No cheats!😁
Great bit of kit. I used mine today. 4 weeks out of shoulder surgery. Great for rehab and mobility also. 👍🏻
Superb. Now i have myself a routine. A big thank you to the Inventor and originator of this vid and making it available. A spinal op made it necessary for me to look at alternative sports/disciplines other than bodybuilding. Any move involving my spine feeling compressed is out so i put together this contraption made out of short and hardy dog leashes. I was unaware of the existence of the TRX at the time. I therefore feel very fortunate that i stumbled across THE Man . I now have perspective and much sought after focus. If you are creative and on a budget it really is not difficult to put one together, though i appreciate that the original is by far superior and science based. Thank you to everyone.
This is the best I’ve ever seen by far! This workout will get my body in shape FOR SURE!! 🦾👌🏼
Great video! I'm going to share it with my trainers at the gym. They "need" to know the proper way to use these straps. I learned a lot of new exercises. Thank you so much Randy!

I am 51 and struggle with exercising due to L Knee and 3 compressed Lumbar discs. I saw someone using TRX in our building's weight room and immediately saw the potential. I was always frame/body conscious due to Ballet, horseback riding, military trg. Bought it within days once I found a local supplier. I love the fact that I can customize my workout to work around my injuries and finally restrengthen/stretch and enhance my body. With minimal workouts, 6x5min a day to start, people have notices changes. It is such a different workout to bungy type resistance bands. So glad you packed your belt for that trip!! 4 friends so far have bought it. One friend takes hers to gym.

I think that is why I'll likely purchase one, injuries & illness. RA has damaged my leg joints, football F'd my spine, and being a heavy mechanic/meatcutter has done wonders for my shoulders. 6 surgeries later and #7 within the next couple of weeks, I need something after rehab to work around the soft core and the less mobile joints.
TRX has been around for so long and here I have just learned about it three months ago, October 2021. From the git go, it's the best FEELING workout I've ever done. Just wakes the muscles up deliciously. Reminds me a lot of the exercises I did in dance class back in highschool (1978-80)...lol. So I've purchased the straps. Pondering how to set them up inside and out. I can tell a few months if this and I will transform my body strength, fitness and flexibility. Many thanks to Randy for creating this, and every person who trains others to use it!
I have owned the TRX system now for 6-years and have never really known the origin of this highly portable piece of equipment. Very cool video!
I just want thank you for this amazing invention. I use it all the time as it is in my studio and I use it with my patients. Thank you so much for your innovation (and of course) your service.
Great workout and instruction. Love the TRX and great to see it’s possibilities on this video. Great work guys!
Some excellent TRX movements here. It was great to see the TRX’s full potential.
I will definitely get this now!! Looks amazing!
This is an awesome workout, can't wait to try it.
Thanks Randy! Great invention, great contribution to the world.
For a beginner breaking into advanced workouts, I think this exact video is a great example. For advanced individuals working to get into a professional sphere, I think these exercises, done with more intense reps and sets, make for a great workout as well!
I love TRX. I am really hooked on TRX. Randy, a million times thank you.
I'm a "TRX Qualified" trainer and I've used TRX as a supplement to other classes as well, everybody that has tried TRX suspension training really likes it.
Randy.. Buenos días.! Te cuento me encanta TRX 👍🏻. Recién practicando.! Excelente tu video.! Saludos desde mi País Argentina 🇦🇷.
Randy Hetrick, Awesome invention, so functional and portable.You're a rock star! I am an ACE personal trainer and use the TRX suspension trainer and rip trainer every session I train. I told my physical therapist about them. He looked into the suspension trainer and purchased them for his rehab. patients! Thanks for your invention and contribution to health and wellness!

Invention? TRX is just same as gymnastic rings. It is nothing new, but copied.
This was a great "advanced" type workout! The guy seemed like a beginner but had advanced type form. I think if you do this workout several times per week it would be a great way to work up to advanced cardiorespiratory type exercises! There's great conditioning and cardio aspects to this workout!
Great video just bought my trx and tried a few of the excercises as practice I can really feel muscle engagement. I think this will be a winner! 😊
genius, thanks Randy!
Soo cool! Thank you, Randy!!!
I have been using a homemade TRX I made recently and it works great. I will have to give that squat a try. Today is leg day; so this looks like a good opportunity to try it out. Those exercises with the foot straps look interesting. At some point I may have to add some foot straps to my DIY TRX.
Great Product Randy, cool story to go with the product. I’m just looking into TRX at the moment, I haven’t purchased one at the moment but I’m definitely going to, the workouts look great 👍
Randy an AMAZING trainer! Great device! I have two--a TRX and an WOSS suspension trainer.
I'm a former athlete that had surgery 2 months ago and am cleared to work out. I have a personal trainer who is having me do all most all TRX excersizes and I think it is the right workout for me now. These are more advanced excersizes but I want to work up to these more advanced movements.
I have bodylastic bands and love them. This is a little different and I will add this to my regime. I can see this is awesome for my age of 64. Great stuff. Thaks.

The TRX is perfect as we age; I just finished my (2nd) book: Ageless Intensity, how high intensity exercise slows down the aging process and featured the TRX because it's so versatile. Pete (blue shirt guy)
This is really good for advanced fitness because your form IS the workout.
I use it at the tennis court and golf course before playing. You can stretch everything so well in 7 or 8 minutes. Before and after. It's quite a clever invention. This, and my SUP board, are the simplest toys I own with the widest range of benefits.
Thank you Randy for mi TRX, i got it as a gift on my last birthday
Really enjoyed this video and will use it for training clients this week.
Did my first TRX class at my local gym on Fri...definitely gets the heart pumping, and I am still sore 2 days later!!
Glad about this Video! We have a few TRXs at the gym but I do not know how to Use them--Thank You!
Best part of TRX? Infinite angles and planes of motion, to do body weight exercises or a getting a great stretch! Changed my life!
dude is so legit and Navy Seal? damn ridiculous! great video!
Just installed my trx pro and loving it great invention
The TRX is a torture device... That's why I love it. The workout you hate doing gives you the best results!

The beauty of the TRX system is the simplicity, especially for those of us who travel. Secure it to a door and you're in business. No moving parts, just yours.
superb, love it. you have this 56+ yr young motivated
Great video! Good workout Randy
awesome workout! we love TRX!
I have re-evaluated the trx, 3 weeks ago, I gave a bad review. I took the time to get used to this, it is actually a pretty good workout!
The trx is everything to me! That equipment alone is almost complete(I need two chairs to do dips) for whole body workout. I don't have a trx but I improvised one and it works perfectly like a real one(mine is actually stronger). It's made of rope and bamboo handles. Of course, the length is also adjustable.
I have TRX in my Gym. Thanks very much sir great invention 👌
I love it! Thanks!
thanks, I am always looking for more workout ideas.... challenging

This video was great for my hips, ahhhh writing this comment is really good for my hip flexors if I’ve been posting comments on you tube all day. I can really feel this sarcasm on my hip flexor wow
Used first time today.... TRX is legit great workout.... good pump
great video!!👍👍 keep up the good work
I feel like I got a workout just watching this
trying this now,it's tough but fun.i like it so much.
It's clear that an effective personal trainer must have mastery of: 1) biomechanics and exercise science 2) motivation and interpersonal skills 3) sadism
Great workout: Quality info; Love it!!
This is my favorite video
Just bought mine - hitting it everyday!

You are my hero Randy!
Love TRX!!!
Just started my TRX journey good for hybrid athletes I bodybuild and do this had a total gym this reminds my muscles of that
Good stuff!
one of the best thing ever invented
Hey Simeon, TRX is a balanced core workout tool. Last I checked bench workouts don't touch the core very much. Bench is old school meathead workout. Also, bench doesn't do much for metabolic rate.
This is great, it is motivating me for more cooking )))
thank you
Cool exercises
Thanks a lot, Mr. Hetrick. I already own Perfect Pushups platforms, which are also designed by a Navy Seal.
I have never been in the gym before, and well this piece of kit looks absolutely alien to me, I have just joined a Gym so should be starting in a week or so, I just hope I will be able to improve my fitness despite having an underactive thyroid and being a 16 stone male at almost 24 years old.

Whoohoo great stuff. I'm thinking the what u showed here can pretty much replace tabata sprints. HIIT and strength all in one.
Subbed cuz of the music!!!!
This is a good workout for most. I prefer taking it slower and using breathing techniques, engage lower abs first before going into the action. I love TRX training and incorporate the workouts for my men clientele. Thank you, Donna, Pilates Instructor
I've been using this for at least 20 years I guess I should have marketed it. Mine is just 14feet chain with couple of carabins one each end that you can adjust on each end with a PVC pipe as a handle. I missed my opportunity!!!
Go Pete !! I feel it too.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻yes! The best workout ever! Thank you!
I tried and used both, The rings are the best.
Great , thanks
smart crestion first time i used it at the gym oh boy i felt it
I have been working with exercises from Ben Patrick kneesovertoesguy. This looks like a natural progression bringing increased mobility and uniting upper and lower body. And it looks like anyone can do it at their personal level. I'm excited to try TRX.

My God! Exhausting just to watch!!
I am in no way down talking the gentlemen training, plus I am aware this video is very old, but I wish he would have slowed his momentum down to allow slow, controlled movements to be presented. I still use TRX as a great addition to my home circuits, and the best results have come when I moved smoothly through the techniques and transitions with controlled intentions. Great video!! TRX and rings are a must have for the Calisthenic lovers! Oss!
pete has great cardio :)
The guy has a genuine and original good ideia ! I bet he is rich by now... dawn! Why I don't had this idea before?? lol
good stuff thx
I use these for Pelican Curls are they are a massive boon to bicep growth.
