WAIT...
THIS IS A GYM?!
Bedroom doors. Back yards. Kitchens. If you can anchor a Suspension Trainer™, you’ve got yourself a gym. So think outside the box, and train on your own terms.
The Gym Scientist knows a thing or two about gyms (and science). Here’s why Suspension Trainer works for physical therapy, elite sports conditioning, and everything in between.
THE VECTOR RESISTANCE PRINCIPLE
Change the angle of your body to increase or decrease resistance.
THE STABILITY PRINCIPLE
Your base of support changes your degree of stability (and difficulty).
THE PENDULUM PRINCIPLE
Move ahead of the anchor point to make ground-based moves harder, or behind the anchor to make them easier.

FAQs
How does Suspension Training work?
A Suspension Trainer uses your bodyweight as resistance. By anchoring it to a door, you can perform hundreds of exercises without bulky machines or heavy weights.
How do you increase resistance or make exercises harder?
Adjust the difficulty of any movement by changing your body position. The more you lean into the straps, the more of your bodyweight you lift. Step back to increase intensity, step forward to reduce it—no weight plates required.
What muscle groups can I train with a Suspension Trainer?
All of them. Suspension Training targets:
Upper body: chest, back, shoulders, arms
Lower body: glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves
Core: abs, obliques, deep stabilizers (bonus: most Suspension Training exercises naturally engage the core, even when you’re training arms or legs)
How much space do I need?
Very little. Most workouts require only enough space to extend your body length behind the anchor point (about 6–8 feet)—perfect for apartments, hotel rooms, or spare bedrooms.
Can I use my Suspension Trainer on any door?
The door anchor is designed to sit securely on the opposite side of a closed opening inward, locked (if possible, not required), solid-core door, distributing force safely across the door frame. (Note: do not use the Suspension Trainer on sliding doors, glass doors, folding doors, doors with windows, lightweight doors, hollow doors, or doors that show signs of damage.)
Is Suspension Training beginner-friendly?
Yes. You simply adjust your body angle to make exercises easier or harder—no weight changes needed, making it suitable for beginners while still challenging enough for advanced athletes.
Is suspension training effective for building strength?
Absolutely. Suspension training builds functional, full-body strength by training muscles to work together—not in isolation. You develop strength, stability, and control that carries over into real life and sports.
How is suspension training different from weight machines?
Machines stabilize your body for you and isolate muscles. Suspension training requires you to stabilize your body, which improves balance, coordination, and real-world strength.
How often should I do suspension training?
Most people see great results training 3–5 times per week, depending on goals and recovery. Because intensity is adjustable, it fits both short daily sessions and longer workouts.
Can the Suspension Trainer hold my weight?
Yes, our suspension trainers are extremely durable and have a maximum weight capacity of 500-700 depending on the model.
