Ready to get sweaty? TRX, aka Total Resistance Exercise, has taken the fitness world by storm these past few years for its versatile, low-impact, and full body benefits. Quite frankly no better person to lead the charge on the trend than Vanessa Elliott – a GB triathlete and PT who opened her very own TRX Clubhouse in leafy Swallowfield (near Reading) this June.

Located on a farm in a stunning oak framed and light-flooded barn, Vanessa puts willing participants through their paces every Monday, with weekly classes at 8am, 9.15am, 6pm and 7.15pm. Busy bee? There’s a Friday lunchtime express class at 1.15pm for 30 minutes too. Classes are run in 7-week blocks and are payable in advance.

The concept is simple. Two straps that hang from the ceiling are used to create resistance as you complete a range of body weight movements and exercises. The results are seriously impressive. Over a course, you can expect to improve core strength, mobility, cardio fitness, flexibility, and balance simultaneously. Yep, it’s a game changer. And the best part – it’s all over in just 60 minutes and is suitable for all ages and abilities.

No need to fret about stage fright either. Vanessa goes out of her way to create a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment for all. She knows everyone starts somewhere and is a certified pro at helping her clients set achievable goals and completely smash them. But really, it’s fun that’s at the centre of everything she does. So strap up and let’s get this bread!
