Why TRX Training is Perfect for Travellers in Lisbon
Visiting Lisbon and want to stay active? TRX is the perfect solution. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, a work trip, or an extended stay, finding time to work out can be challenging. Maybe your hotel gym is tiny (or non-existent), you don’t have your usual equipment, or you simply don’t want to waste time indoors when there’s so much of the city to explore.
That’s where TRX suspension training comes in. It’s a portable, efficient, and fun workout that lets you train anywhere, anytime—with just a set of straps and your own body weight. Better yet, you can take your fitness outside and experience Lisbon’s stunning outdoor spaces while getting stronger.
As Lisbon’s only TRX specialist, I train visitors who want to keep fit while traveling. Whether you’re solo, with friends, or in a group (hello, hen & stag parties!), I’ll make sure you stay on track with your fitness while making the most of Lisbon’s outdoors.
What is TRX Training?
TRX, or Total Resistance Exercises, is a bodyweight training system using suspension straps. It was originally designed by Navy SEALs to allow for full-body strength training without needing a gym.
Why is it so effective?
✅ Uses body weight for strength, mobility, and core stability.
✅ Engages multiple muscle groups at once for maximum efficiency.
✅ Adjustable for all fitness levels—whether you’re a beginner or an athlete.
✅ Perfect for low-impact, joint-friendly workouts that still build strength.
It’s also super portable, making it ideal for travelers, digital nomads, and fitness lovers on the go. All you need is a stable anchor point (tree, railing, or door) and you’re set!
Why TRX is Ideal for Travellers in Lisbon
1. Lightweight & Portable: TRX straps fit in your backpack—no need for dumbbells, machines, or bulky gym gear. You can use them in a hotel room, at a beach, or in a park.
2. Full-Body Workout in Less Time: TRX workouts combine strength, mobility, and core stability, making them efficient and effective. You can get a solid workout in just 30-45 minutes—so you have more time to explore Lisbon.
3. Low Impact, High Efficiency: Unlike running or high-impact workouts, TRX is gentle on joints while still building strength and endurance—perfect if you’ve been walking Lisbon’s hills all day.
4. No Need for a Gym – Train Outdoors!
Why stay indoors when you can train outside in Lisbon’s beautiful parks or by the river? TRX lets you combine fitness and sightseeingfor the ultimate active travel experience.
Best Outdoor TRX Training Spots in Lisbon
One of the best parts of training with TRX in Lisbon is getting to work out in incredible outdoor locations. Here are my top picks:
🌳 Jardim da Estrela
A lush, shaded park in the city center with trees perfect for anchoring TRX straps. It’s peaceful, scenic, and a great spot to combine TRX with a bodyweight circuit or stretching session.
🌊 Ribeira das Naus (By the River)
Fancy a workout with a view of the Tagus River? This promenade is ideal for early morning TRX sessions while watching the sunrise or cooling down with a stretch after your workout.
🏞️ Miradouros (Viewpoints)
Lisbon is full of scenic viewpoints (miradouros) where you can set up your TRX for a workout with a view. Some even have railings or strong structures that work as perfect anchor points.
