Suspension training advice

I was recently exposed to TRX Suspension training by my personal trainer and I'm interested and purchasing some sort of suspension training device for my home. Do I need to get the TRX brand? Also, I'll be anchoring it to a door, is there a better anchor to buy? Help! :smile: Opinions! Please and thank you. :smile:

    there are groups for suspension training, they may offer up 'good info' on it as many of them should be using them. You don't "need" the trx band but some of them may not have the strap height adjustment system (been looking at it myself, thought I had a friends borrowed for while they're overseas but they forgot the anchor part at home, only the straps) but let me get an idea of it being something I'm interested in.

    For better anchoring there's the X-mount (you can buy it from TRX, but also other places). It's basically a round metal plate with to curved bars coming off it that make an X. I have mine bolted on to the ceiling beam in the basement. It's very sturdy. You can attach the straps to the X part of it.
