About TRX® RIP Training Resistance Cord
The TRX Rip Training Resistance Cord helps you get more out of every movement by adding scalable resistance to your Rip Trainer workouts. From beginners building foundational strength to elite athletes training rotational power, there’s a cord to match your needs. With five resistance levels available, you can train at your pace—and push further as you grow stronger.
Train smarter with scalable resistance options
Not all workouts—or bodies—are the same. That’s why the TRX Rip Training Resistance Cord comes in multiple resistance levels, from 15 to 50 pounds. Whether you're just starting out or refining explosive power, this cord gives you control over your training intensity. As your strength and stability improve, you can switch cords to continue challenging your body without plateauing. Each cord securely attaches to the Rip Trainer, keeping your workouts smooth and safe.
- Five levels: Lite, Medium, Heavy, X-Heavy, and XX-Heavy
- Lets you progress without replacing equipment
- Easily attaches to any TRX Rip Trainer
Find the right resistance for your fitness level
Choosing the correct cord ensures your workouts are both challenging and safe. Beginners, seniors, or lighter users will benefit from the Lite cord, while seasoned athletes or those with strong core control can move up to X-Heavy or XX-Heavy. This customization lets you get the most from your training—without risking strain or injury from using the wrong level of resistance.
- Lite (15 lbs): Ideal for beginners or users 80–110 lbs
- Medium (20 lbs): Versatile for nearly all users (included with Rip Trainer)
- Heavy (25 lbs): Great for experienced or conditioned athletes
- X-Heavy (38 lbs): Designed for users 165+ lbs with strong core
- XX-Heavy (50 lbs): Best for very fit individuals 210+ lbs
Target balance, rotation, and core stability
Unlike static machines, the TRX Rip Training Resistance Cord creates dynamic tension. This forces your core, hips, and shoulders to stabilize with every move—especially in twisting or pulling exercises. It’s perfect for rotational power training, helping you build the type of strength that transfers to real-life sports and movement patterns. You're not just building muscle; you're building better coordination, faster reactions, and greater control.
- Improves functional core strength and balance
- Builds rotational and anti-rotational control
- Supports sport-specific training goals
Adjust your challenge without adjusting your form
One of the biggest training mistakes? Sacrificing form for intensity. With the TRX Rip Training Resistance Cord, you don’t need to. Simply switch to a higher or lower resistance cord to scale your workout without changing how you move. This keeps your mechanics clean while letting you push harder or dial it back depending on your energy level or training focus.
- Switch cords based on training goals or recovery needs
- Maintain consistent movement patterns across resistance levels
- Avoid overtraining with controlled progression
Train at home, in the gym, or on the go
Compact and lightweight, these cords are easy to store and travel with. Bring one to the park, use it in a small apartment, or keep a full set in your gym bag. Wherever you are, your Rip Training doesn’t stop. No bulky equipment or heavy weights—just serious resistance in a portable form that works with your routine, not against it.
