TRX GO Suspension Trainer
by TRX
Score
The travel suspension trainer. Lighter than the TRX Pro, anchors to any door or tree, and brings a full-body workout to a hotel room. The brand that defined the category.

- Travelers, road warriors, and beginners who want a name-brand suspension trainer at the lowest TRX price point and do not need the heavier-duty PRO 4 fabric.
- You weigh near the 350 lb capacity, you train multiple times daily with hard plyometric components, or you want padded foot cradles for rotational work.
An 8 by 6 ft floor area in front of the anchor for full range of motion. A solid door, a ceiling beam, or an outdoor anchor point above 7 ft.
easy — Five minutes from box to first rep. Loop the supplied door anchor over the top of a door, close it, snap the strap carabiner to the anchor, and adjust the strap length to match the exercise.
Suspension trainers are an accessory tier purchase. They expand the bodyweight catalog and travel well, but they sit behind a barbell, a rack, and a primary cardio piece in the build order.

What owners actually complain about
Synthesized from owner reviews and community threads. Paraphrased, not quoted.
- Foot cradles smaller than the PRO 4 model, which pinches under hard inversion work
- Fabric thinner than the flagship and starts to fray at the adjustment buckles after heavy daily use
- Door anchor placement near the hinge is essential and not obvious in the quick start
- Plastic handles ovalize slightly after a year of hard rotational work
- The shorter length limits very tall users in fully extended row positions

Specs that matter
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Weight | 1 lb total |
| Max user capacity | 350 lb (same carabiner/webbing as PRO 4) |
| Setup | Under 1 minute on a solid door |
| Construction | Nylon webbing, bartacked seams, forged-steel carabiner |
What you get
- Backpack portable — 1 lb, fits in luggage
- Full workout — rows, presses, single-leg, pikes, core
- Real durability detail — bartacked seams hold where clones fray
What you give up
- High-frequency wear — buckles/cradles show wear after ~200 hrs vs the PRO 4
- Value vs clones — clones perform identically for the first ~50 hrs
Buy it if you're a traveler, beginner, or already own a rack. Skip it if you'll live in it daily — step up to the PRO 4.
Door-anchor placement is safety-critical: mount near the top hinge of a solid latched door and hang the included warning placard outside so nobody opens it mid-set.
