I hope you enjoy this post. If you want my help to build lean muscle & transform your body using a TRX suspension trainer anywhere – Back in 2015, I was a personal trainer living in London, practically living in the gym.
I thought the way to build muscle was to lift as heavy as possible and keep adding weight to the bar.
So I did exactly that, and I went all in.
I packed in as much intensity, ego, and “beast mode” energy as possible.
And the result?
Minimal progress.
Constant joint pain.
No real transformation.
Meanwhile, I watched clients:
- Struggle to make sessions because of their busy schedules
- Feel intimidated by the ego-driven gym environment
- And regard working out as a chore, not enjoyment.
When I evetually left the gym world in search of a new, minimilist approach..
…I started experimenting with a completely different tool (suspension trainer) and technique.
Instead of mindlessly moving weight from point A to point B (what I now call “movement-centric technique”)…
I focused on isolating each muscle and keeping it under constant tension.
Slow, controlled movements…
Mind fully connected to the muscle I was targeting…
Squeezing powerfully at the top of every rep.
No ego.
No distractions.
Just pure focus on how the muscle felt rather than how much I was lifting.
On this journey I leanred the most important fitness lesson:
Your muscles don’t know where you are or what you’re holding.
All they know is the tension you place on them through a range of motion.
More weight doesn’t always mean more muscle growth.
More complexity doesn’t mean more results.
Isolating the muscle and maintaining constant tension is what actually moves the needle.
And once I applied this “muscle-centric technique to suspension training,” everything started clicking into place.
Within just 3 months using this approach, and despite working out less than I did in the gym:
- My physique transformed with lean muscle
- My nagging shoulder pain disappeared
- My body felt functionally stronger for real life, not just “gym life”
But the biggest transformation wasn’t even physical, it was mental.
By focusing internally on my body instead of being distracted by the gym environment…
My workouts became a form of moving meditation.
I felt calmer. More focused. More confident.
I called this new approach “Fitness Freedom.”
And I knew I had to share it with the world.
Now, whenever I design a workout or coach a client, I ask myself:
- Am I isolating the target muscle, or letting multiple muscles share the load?
- Am I maintaining constant tension throughout the entire movement?
- Is this sustainable and accessible, or am I overcomplicating it?
Since then, I’ve helped over 8,000 busy adults build lean muscle and transform their bodies using just a suspension trainer from home, on their schedule.
No gym membership. No crowded weight rooms. No wasted time commuting.
And now, I can’t imagine doing it any other way.
Here’s the thing:
If you’ve been frustrated trying to build lean muscle and transfrom your body with a suspension trainer…
If you’ve followed YouTube videos and apps but never seen real changes in your body…
If you’ve felt stuck believing you “need” a gym to get results…
You’re not using the wrong tool.
You’re just using it with the wrong technique.
