Questions people ask

Does a suspension trainer need a special door?
Most kits include a door anchor that fits over the top edge of a standard interior door. Check that the door closes firmly and opens away from where the person will train.

Basic moves like rows, squats and chest presses are quick to pick up. Difficulty is adjusted by changing body angle rather than adding weight.
