Buying Information
The best suspension trainers are adjustable, come with a carry bag and a range of anchoring options. Here’s a few things to consider before purchasing:
- Suspension trainers work your entire body as you try to stabilize yourself during your exercises, so you’ll need to do less exercises than a normal gym routine.
- Workouts are generally very safe as you are only using your own body weight, however it is still just as important to stay focused on having correct posture and technique. Take your time when learning a new exercise to ensure you get the technique right.
- Some doors in your home may not be suitable for use as an anchor. These may be hollow or made of poor quality materials. Always check the sturdiness of the anchor before beginning your routine.
- Decide on what type of exercise you will be using the trainers for. Endurance exercises are different to muscle building exercises. This will also help you pick what type of anchor you will need to complete the exercises.
Top 3 Best Suspension Trainer Reviews
1. GYMSTUFF G-STRAP
Gymstuff are well known for their high quality home and commercial gym workout products. These straps are of exceptional quality and can support up to 650lbs – which is more than enough for all home users.
At first they are a little hard to figure out, but once you get the hang of them it’s incredibly straight forward. The straps are priced reasonably and well within anyone’s budget. They come with a neat mesh bag for easy storage, which also aids itself to easy transport wherever you go.
The foot-straps on these are slightly larger than that on other models, making them much easier to put your foot in and out of during exercise. A feature that we really appreciated as some other models are very difficult (and sometimes dangerous) to get out of.
2. GYMSTUFF G-STRAP PRO
With a slightly heavier weight than the standard G-STRAP these are clearly made for enthusiasts. Again we are delighted with a high-quality product that performs on all levels. The colors are vibrant and eye catching – which is great for using these outdoors, as you’ll never leave anything behind.
Side by side the Gymstuff exercise systems appear to be made of the same material as other more expensive models. The weight and thickness of these straps are exactly the same as competitor brands.
The buckles on these straps are easy to adjust and can be moved up and down using just one hand. A feature that seems to have been lost with some of the newer models, which now require two hands to adjust.
3. WOSS AttacK Trainer
With first grade military webbing these straps will outlast even the most strenuous of activities. We loved the rubber sleeve grips that came with this unit as they are usually only seen on much more expensive models.
Unlike the equalizer system, the attack trainer is designed to decrease your stability during use. It is ideal for users who are already fit and need something that will challenge them even more.
The best suspension trainer systems on the market have a D ring that enables the straps to slide from one side to the other – ensuring you work each equally. Even some of the more expensive models fail to have this little feature. And it’s a great addition for those wanting a bit more of a challenge than traditional suspension systems.
