First off, let’s be real, the TRX PRO3, GO, and All-in-One… they’re all slick. But are they *that* much better than, like, building your own DIY setup? Seriously, YouTube is your friend here. You can totally rig something up with some heavy-duty straps and carabiners for a fraction of the cost. Just make *sure* it’s secure, y’know? Don’t want to end up face-planting into your living room floor. Speaking of face-planting, I once tried a super janky DIY setup (I won’t even get into the details, it involved duct tape and a questionable doorframe), and let’s just say I learned my lesson. Buy good straps, people!
Okay, so DIY isn’t your jam. I feel you. Thankfully, there are other options. I’ve heard good things about some of the functional trainers out there. Rep Arcadia and Titan Fitness are apparently pretty solid, although they might still be a bit pricey if you’re REALLY pinching pennies. I saw something about Bells of Steel having a “best budget” option, so maybe check that out? Honestly, I’m kinda biased towards Titan ’cause I like their name, sounds hardcore, right?
And while we’re on the topic of budget fitness, have you ever checked out ThredUp? I know, I know, it’s for clothes, but sometimes you can find workout gear there for next to nothing. Just sayin’, gotta keep those options open!
