Suspension Gear Wizard

The "Best Configuration" described in the guide. By assembling off-the-shelf parts, you get a rig that outperforms expensive commercial units.

The Smart Value Choice. A no-frills, high-quality system made in the USA. It offers commercial-grade quality for a fraction of the big brand prices.

• Note: This model does not include a door anchor (unlike the Twin Pro).
• Dual Straps: Allows for wide setup (pull-ups) or narrow setup (dips).
• Warranty: Lifetime.

The Classic. The oldest and most time-tested option. Great for stability training.

• Stability: Handles do NOT rotate, which provides stability for dips.
• Price: Often the cheapest ready-made option.
• Adjustment: Rated "Slow" compared to cam buckles.

The Minimalist Single. Originally meant for isometric training, it works well as a basic suspension trainer.

• Single Strap: Similar to TRX V-shape.
• Simple: Uses a cow hitch knot over an anchor.

• Adjustments: Uses a ring-style buckle (can be slow to adjust).

The Premium Traveler. "Gym rings that fit in your pocket."

• Anchor: Soft, integrated anchors don't scratch doors/paint.
• Versatile: Handle triangles rotate out of the way to use the loop for feet.
• Warranty: 10 Years.

The Big Brand. The most common commercial strap system.

• Single Anchor: Fast transitions from push to pull, but limits biomechanics for dips.
• Warranty: 2 Years.

The High-Tech Single. The premium evolution of the single-point anchor system.

• Speed: Push-button spring retraction. The fastest adjustment on the market.
• Warranty: 10 Years.
• Note: Like TRX, the single anchor point causes straps to rub against neck/arms during some movements.

Old Meets New. Combines the biomechanical benefits of rings with modern spring technology.

• Dual Anchor: Proper width for dips and pull-ups.
• Spring Loaded: Fast length changes like the Recoil S2.
• Warranty: 2 Years.
