TRX Certification

Does anyone know if it's required that I'm certified as a TRX trainer in order to train my clients on it? A gym where I'm a contractor said that I could use all of their equipment, except the TRX because I'm not certified. How about my clients that I train in their homes? It looks like a pretty cool system. Thanks.

No TRX Cert.
by: Anonymous

There is no actual certification for the TRX. They only hold workshops to teach trainers how to use it.

The gym you work at should allow you to use it as you would use any other prop such as a bosu or med. ball.

Certification is great
by: Anonymous

My gym requires a certification also. You won't need it to train your home clients but it is a great course and I learned a lot. You also earn CEC's

As far as using the TRX or any other "name-brand" fitness equipment, there is no law against training clients with said equipment. However, you should avoid telling anyone that you are a "Certified" TRX trainer. Whatever credential you have as a trainer, be it fitness club owner, professional athlete, PFT, martial art school owner or whatever... you can instruct to your level of expertise.
