Installation and assembly time
It takes just a few minutes to install.
- If you're installing the strap on a door, you'll need to slide the rubber piece, which acts as a stopper, over the door before closing it.
Put the safety label on this rubber piece to warn people that you're training.
- If you're installing the strap on a pull-up bar or pole, pass the extender around whatever you're hanging the strap from, then hook it onto the strap.
Dimensions of your suspension trainer and contents
The strap weighs 1 kg and can be adjusted from 60 to 170 cm.
The handles are 13.5 cm long with a diameter of 3.2 cm.
As well as the strap, the pack contains:
- A net bag to carry it in
- A safety label to warn people that you're training for times when you attach the trainer to a door
- An extender to fix it to poles, large branches, bars, etc.
- A poster of exercises to inspire you.
How to adjust the straps
To get two straps the same length:
- Adjust the first handle, then hold it in your hand while you adjust the second handle.
- Adjust the second handle until it's the right length to also sit in the hand that's holding the first handle.
For exercises that need it, you can adjust the length of each side independently.
