As an in-home personal trainer, what is your favorite piece of equipment to use with clients?
Body weight and manual resistance, hands down.
As far as equipment goes, for manual resistance, I can craft my own handles and such so that I can easily apply the resistance while the client can do the exercise. I’ve used various webbing straps for static contractions, spring links to hook handles together, and knotted ropes for tricep exercises. I can provide more detail if anyone is interested.
Tough question. Either my boxing gloves/pads or the TRX. Both allow me great versatility and they give great workouts. I also find that all clients love using them.
