Stark Suspension Reviews

by Petalmasher

StarkSuspension does nothing that the free TRX appdoesn't do. It teases at the idea of building a routine, I has a build icon, but doesn't actually let me add exercises to the workout. It doesn't leave any more time than the normal rest period between exercise to reconfigure the TRX, nor does it prompt the user to do so. It also doesn't repeat side specific exercises like single leg exercises or side planks to allow you to do the other side. It only has a few simply workouts. If I had it to do over, I would save the $5

I really like StarkSuspension and the fact that you can create your own workout from the wonderful library of demonstrated exercises. My wish list includes a way to mix both timed intervals and repetition intervals within the same workout. For example, hold a plank for 60 sec., rest 30 sec., 12 Automic Push-ups, rest 30 sec. etc.. Another item I wish for is a way to export or download a workout do that I don't have to rely on Internet access to view the videos. Thanks for writing such a great app!

Love StarkSuspension over TRX and the others out there... the only little thing I would add would be options for the voice prompts - adding a verbal cue to the next exercise, changing up the “half way” verbal prompts, changing voice to male/female (and maybe the model).

Good app but I wish it would announce audibly the next exercise. I keep my iPhone stowed during workouts and can't see the exercise. Instead I am having to write these down and follow along. Could be an easy and useful update.

Just finished my first workout and it was worth the money. I mean seriously, its 5 bucks. Buy it, sweat, be a better you...... After a few days of use my only complaint is the lack of audible cues, changing my rating to four stars until this is added

As soon as I got StarkSuspension , I wanted to see what StarkSuspension had to offer and played the demo. First, I was confused and tried to turn up the volume and then realized that there are no verbal instrctions just a silent demo. When working out, I dont' have time to constantly watch the video, I am sure that might cause some injuries in the process trying to turn my neck a certain direction and causing poor alignment. Also, I don't want to pause during my workouts, I want them to be very intense. Hell, I can't even see anything in front of me with sweat pouring down my face.

It would be nice to have verbal cues on the upcoming move as well as proper form verbal instructions during the workout timer. For this reason, I took off a star.

Also, it would be nice if StarkSuspension had a wod generator like the 12 minute athlete app, for those of us who have no idea what we are doing and need to be told what exercises to complete.

Thankfully, TRX posts "the workout of the day". I am so glad that they do because I don't have the imagination to create my own workouts but I want to workout like a beast. I check the WOD daily and then create the workout within StarkSuspension .

So, please work on 2 things : Verbal cues and wod generator.

All in all, great app but lacks some essentials.

Ever since they added more exercises I started to use StarkSuspension for every trx training. I find the database big enough for my workouts. However, I am still missing something - better statistics. I would like to see a history of my workouts, the time spent and eventually some more details. Currently you can track only the calories you have burnt which doesn't add value for me.
Keep up updating pls :)

Overall this a really cool app. It allows you to design your own workouts based on muscle groups that you can select from. Voice guided routines. I only wish they would offer notes with each move (what to engage, starting positions, etc.) and mention the adjustment length for each move. But a great app regardless.

I own TRX straps and love to use them. But I didn’t see the value in paying a monthly subscription to their app to get workout routines. StarkSuspension is nice in that you can build your own routine. But they haven’t added any new exercises since I paid for it so that’s a bummer. Hopefully they will update and add additional exercises.

I've been using TRX for almost 2 years but I was always looking for a good and simple timer.
StarkSuspension completely satisfied my expectations and would highly recommend it to any TRX fan. It offers multiple levels of difficulty, gives tools to the user to customize their workout and includes excellent "how to" videos.

by Adrienne 4ever

Seriously the best, I've tried at least 10 suspension workout apps. This one is well designed, the demo vids are super clear and easy to follow. Tons of exercises for all levels and easy to customize.

The price point is a key reason I chose this over the official TRX app, the interface is good, very intuitive and simple, the last thing a workout needs to be is complicated.

I do wish StarkSuspension would synchronize user made programs across devices, and separately that you could share them with friends who also use StarkSuspension .

by Scied

I got the TRX trainer for Christmas and wanted a flexible program to go along with the system. I love the ready made starter programs but even better is the ability to easily make your own circuit. 100% recommend.

You nailed it. StarkSuspension is much less cumbersome than previous apps I've tried! Videos combined with timer make it so much easier to do your work out and stay motivated. Thank you

First workout, never knew I had those muscles! The program really brings it all out. Great examples, countdown timer and verbal commands for start, half, and rest time awesome! StarkSuspension will make you sore, in the best way possible!!!

by DesignedbyKelli

I just started using StarkSuspension and I can tell you already it's my number one favorite for exercise indoors. They include a timed video lesson plan for each part of the body various sets and reps. It also includes beginner intermediate and advanced levels. So I will be using StarkSuspension for a very long time... And I am certain I will look like a different person in a month or two

I'm a newbie to suspension training so StarkSuspension is really helping me with the basics in technique. I appreciate the mix of pre-designed workouts as well as the option to mix and match to design your own workout based on your needs and training goals. The videos are very helpful.

by Stilespl

I was hoping to find something exactly like this! You can create your own routine or follow our already put together. This is so much easier than trying to follow a large piece of paper. You can see the exercise being performed, and pause it if you need to. Great!

by Cysto1079

I've used StarkSuspension for a while and had only used the existing programs. I then learned that you can make your own as well!! It's a great feature and if you can make TRX any better-- this is your app.

by Redding Moose

Great app- it provides excellent examples for proper form, offers different work out methods, such as rep & set based, HIIT & circuit with variable rest periods and an option to pause the workout if you get totally gassed and need a little extra rest. If you are looking for a good workout in your home or on the go it is definitely worth it. New “moves” are occasionally added with auto updates for StarkSuspension . My only criticism is it lacks exercises for the rip trainer.

You won’t find a better App for Trx exercises. Design workouts to fit your goals, regardless if you are at a beginning or advanced level.
