The TRX allows you to develop almost all movement patterns, meaning you can do excellent full body resistance training sessions. I would advice to get some sort of weight like a kettlebell or dumbbell if your trying to build a small home gym, as this will allow you to target your lower body more effectively than just using the TRX. Although the TRX can be great for beginners easing into lower body movements.
