Why Trust Us
Disclosure
If you want to sit in a rubber ring this summer instead of wearing one, it’s time to engage those obliques.
Yes, they really do exist… somewhere between last night’s pasta and that flagon of wine. But rather than holding side planks for what feels like an eternity, optimise your workout with a TRX. There isn’t a core crafting tool quite like it.
Why is it so efficient? When your feet are hoisted in the air, you limit your contact with the floor so the only way to stabilise the body is by recruiting core muscles. Constant instability means the abs are always switched on. Here’s where to find your fix…
Looking for a high octane start to your weekend? Try a 55 min class with Gok – head of TRX at Heartcore. Catch him every Saturday in Fulham 8am – 9am, 9am – 10am or 10am – 11am. His irrepressible energy and statement beard (that’s almost as versatile as a TRX), make for a truly memorable class. Expect to leave feeling like a superhero.

Tube: Parsons Green (District), Fulham Broadway (District)
Price: First class is free (for Heartcore first timers). Single class – £27. 5 classes – £125 (£25 each). 10 classes – £220 (£22 each).
