FAQ
A suspension training system is an adjustable strap system that uses your bodyweight as resistance to perform multi‑joint, functional exercises that challenge strength, stability, and mobility.
Everyone from beginners to athletes—it’s scalable by changing body angle and leverage, so trainers, home users, and performance athletes can all benefit.
- When used correctly, it’s low‑impact and joint‑friendly, but safety depends on proper anchoring, equipment inspection, and technique; follow manufacturer instructions and check straps and anchors before every session.
- Use a solid anchor point (door anchor, beam, tree, or ceiling mount) rated for bodyweight, adjust strap length for the exercise, and test stability with a light load before full use; many trainers provide door and ceiling attachment guides
Yes—by using progressive angles, tempo, and rep schemes, you can stimulate hypertrophy, increase muscular endurance, and improve functional strength; combine with higher‑intensity circuits for conditioning.
- For general fitness, 2–4 sessions per week works well; vary intensity and include rest or active recovery days. Beginners should start with shorter, technique‑focused sessions and gradually increase volume.
You need minimal space—a 6–8 foot clearance is usually sufficient. Useful accessories include a door anchor, suspension anchor strap, and a mat for floor exercises; no heavy equipment or large footprint is required.
