THE DOOR ANCHOR
• The Door Anchor dramatically increases the versatility of your
Suspension Trainer, however it is vital that the Door Anchor is only
used as described here.
• Only secure the door anchor from the side of the door which
closes towards you i.e. so when exercising you are pulling the door
in the direction in which it closes.
• Only use on solid doors that are in solid walls - do not use on stud
walls or partition walls. Doors must be in sound condition with
working locks. Never use on either glass or sliding doors or any
lightweight doors like cupboard doors.
• Always close the door when exercising so there is no possibility
that someone else can open the door whilst you are exercising as
this may result in serious injury. Check the door is properly closed
before starting your workout.
• Close the door then test the attachment is secure before use.
HOW TO SECURE YOUR SUSPENSION TRAINER USING THE DOOR
ANCHOR
• Place the Door Anchor over the center of the door, then close.
See Picture 1.
• Make sure the door is completely closed and can take your weight.
THE ANCHOR STRAP
• The Anchor strap can be attached to many fixed structures so long as they are suitably
strong to take your dynamic load and will not move or tip over when exercising.
Using the Anchor Strap provides you with the ability to train at home, outside, when
travelling, or even at exercise facilities.
• Only attach the Anchor Strap to objects which can support your weight; a firm beam,
railings, weight racks, trees or fences for example.
• The attachment point should be 2,10 to 2,75 m above ground as minimum
requirement.
• When attaching to an object that is high off the ground, secure the Strap around the
object and secure using the carabiner directly into the nearest eyelet on the strap. See
Picture 2.
• When attaching to an object that is lower to the ground, secure the Strap by winding it
around the object several times. Attach the carabiner to nearest eyelet ensuring that
you leave one eyelet free to attach the Suspension Trainer to.
