Adventure Fitness Retreat in Croatia TRX-based Suspended Pilates Appropriate for all fitness levels, TRX-based Suspended Pilates develops strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously. The exercises are a blend of TRX suspension training and Pilates, so you get the best of suspension training combined with Pilates. This technique allows you to do both classical and contemporary Pilates exercises from the Mat, Reformer and Cadillac while using your own body weight with one versatile piece of equipment – the swing! Both playful and rigorous, Suspended Pilates takes core-strengthening and targeted muscle conditioning to new heights.

Utilizing a specialized “swing” consisting of breathable nylon parachute fabric and grips, TRX-based Suspended Pilates features core strengthening with 3-dimensional movement to target the deep muscles of the body. The double suspension points safely create controlled instability which strengthens your inner joint muscles. The element of suspension takes the gravity out of the exercise, which not only re-aligns and decompresses the spine, but is known to ease back pain as well.
