TRX Workout: TRX Pyramids

want us to come to you and train at any location of your choice?

Want a tailored workout plan you can do anywhere?

Pyramid circuits are designed to challenge you by changing the number of repetitions for the same exercise.

TRX pyramids up the ante by challenging you to also change the angle of your body. When performing a low number of repetitions, position your body at a steeper angle and, vice versa, when performing a higher number of repetitions, decrease the angle of your body.
