TRX X-Mount

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)(TOP 10 REVIEWER)Although I personally prefer rip:60 to TRX because they designed the straps so that you can also do a "sawing motion" so that you expand the exercises you can do on it and I think it''s made better for less, I like this mount better than the Rip:60 suspension trainer mount.

This is HEAVY DUTY. It''s not thin metal by any means. The cross X means that you won''t have one metal loop that might not be saudered well that can break away at any time after repeated use. Because there are two metal pieces soldered to the base, you have double strength holding up your body and your suspension training system.

Also this comes with the screws and the rip:60 mount does not. I would never in a million years guessed the size of the screws that came with this...they were the biggest screws I''d ever seen...but I got them in the ceiling stud even though I had to read the directions to know how to use a stud finder...piece of cake.

I wouldn''t enjoy suspension training nearly enough strapped on a door. The very first day I realized the importance of the ceiling mount because I''m encumbered by no walls in my moves. Because I use the workout DVDs to do my routine, I have total 360 degree rotation to be able to watch the DVDs and do the moves at the same time, regardless of what the move is or what direction I need to face...I can move the trainer around easily.

I actually got a metal clamp like the ones that attach the hand straps to the suspension trainer to strap onto this mount, then attach my suspension trainer. You can just attach it the same way it shows you to attach your suspension trainer to a tree branch.

The Rip:60 comes with the door mount free, unlike the TRX, but I think this greatly improves the ease of my workout and gives me more room needed for things like squats or lunges away from walls and doors....and the ability to move about freely if one move requires more room.

I have a ceiling fan in the middle of my workout room but putting it to the side of the fan so blades can whirl while still in use was a cinch.

I would not trust something lighter or not made to hold up human weight to hold me on the ceiling. The screws are made to hold 600 lbs (I''m NOWHERE near that...but I like that it can!) as is the mount. It''s not lightweight. This is heavy duty metal that is double reinforced by two metal mounts.

The suspension trainer can hang in either direction from the X. It doesn''t matter.

If you have a TRX and you want a no-brainer solution for a permanent anchor point, you can''t go wrong with the Xmount. However, it''s a pretty simple piece of hardware. You could probably find something that would work just as well at any local hardware store for half the price. It''s not too expensive though, and I decided it was worth the convenience of ordering a tried-and-true mount with all necessary bolts.

Absolutely sturdy and well designed. I have no fear of this thing ripping off the wall. Works well for what it is.

After using the TRX with the over the door device, it just didn''t seem stable enough so we ordered the X-Mount and man what a difference. It works very well and I feel much more stability. I would reccommend using this mount with the TRX.

Excellent mount. Mine is on the ceiling. Sure, you could devise your own but by the time you do you''ve spent this much money. I can mount more than one set of straps on this and feel that both are secure.
