Great product with a few drawbacks
The TRX Force Tactical is rugged and well-made. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who is looking to increase core strength and muscle endurance. As others have mentioned, this system will not help you build muscle mass the way traditional weights will or provide the same benefits of cardio training. The enclosed workout routine only covers 4 days and will no doubt provide great results on its own but also allows for individuals to add in some extra cardio or strength training on the "off" days if they so choose. The exercises can also be done in any combination if you are the type who prefers to build his or her own routine. The TRX Force app is a nice bonus. It brings everything into one place and while the flow could be a little smoother, it is definitely better than lugging all of the printed documentation along if you are on the road. The mesh bag is nice as well and can easily be tossed in a suitcase to keep all of your TRX equipment organized. A few caveats of the system that I wish were made clearer in the online documentation: 1. The system requires a minimum working area of 6' x 8'. The space I use my TRX in is about 8' x 10' and I sometimes need to shorten my straps from the recommended length to avoid running into walls. This is most likely due to my size (about 6'3" with long arms) but may be something to note. Shortening the straps does not seem to impact the effectiveness of the moves but did add to the learning curve. 2. I am not sure about other folks but I would have sent this product back if my primary mounting location had been a doorway. There are a lot of exercises that require being directly below the mount point and this is simply impossible when using the door mount. The TRX can still be used to get a quick workout in at a hotel or similar location but if I were using this on the road often, I would probably try to find a suitable mounting point in the hotel gym (a pull-up bar is perfect).
