In-Depth Review
Who It's For
Ideal for travelers, home gym owners, and athletes who want a portable, versatile strength system without heavy weights. Used by pro athletes, military, and rehab clinics.
Materials & Construction
The Pro4 features commercial-grade nylon straps, rubber handles, and anodized aluminum carabiners. The anchors (over-door and wall-mount) are steel and high-impact plastic. Synthetic materials are chosen for durability, not biodegradability. Made in USA (New York State).
How to Use
Attach via the over-door anchor or mount to a beam. Adjust straps to desired length. Perform rows, presses, lunges, planks, and pikes. The TRX Training Club app offers guided workouts for all levels.
Ethical Sourcing Story
TRX is Climate Neutral certified, offsetting all direct emissions. They donate 1% of sales to environmental nonprofits via 1% for the Planet. Manufacturing is in New York, which reduces shipping emissions and supports local jobs. However, TRX does not publish supplier labor audits or have fair-trade certification. The product is not recyclable at end of life due to mixed materials.

“I travel 40 weeks a year and this fits in my carry-on. I get a full workout in any hotel room. Knowing it’s made in the USA and offsets carbon feels good, but I wish the straps were recyclable.” — Verified Buyer, March 2025
Heads up
The synthetic straps will eventually wear out and are not recyclable curbside. TRX does not have a take-back program, so consider donating or repurposing when retiring the system.
Priced at $249.95, the Pro4 is an investment but competes closely with knock-offs that lack durability and warranty. Its longevity (many users report 5+ years) partially offsets the upfront cost.

What Reviewers Say
"The TRX Pro4 is the suspension trainer to beat. It’s built to last and works for all fitness levels."
"Excellent build quality and strong warranty. The ethics cred is moderate—carbon offsets are good, but lack of material end-of-life plan is a gap."
"A well-made product with positive climate action, but let down by its reliance on virgin synthetics and opaque supply chain."
