On top of recruiting more muscles, Smart Straps are easy to modify to your fitness levels! You are in control of the range of motion, and you can easily modify the work up or down based on your training level.
Simply adjust the angle you are performing the exercise to increase or decrease the amount of body weight you are working against! For example, when performing a Push Up on your Smart Straps if the exercise is too difficult, move your feet closer to the Smart Straps. If the push-ups are too easy, move your feet further away!
Smart Straps are easy to use and completely portable
Just like all Prism Fitness Group Smart products, the Smart Straps feature our signature self-guided program with the exercises printed directly on the straps. You’ll are never wonder “what to do”. Bodyweight training using straps can be intimidating to a novice, but we’ve developed our self-guided exercises for easy reference. This is an awesome low-impact exercise tool for beginners.
Smart Straps are Easy to Anchor and Adjust!
Each Smart Strap has a door anchor so you can loop and secure the strap around a bar (e.g., chin-up bar). Use the straps at home or while traveling by closing the anchors in a sturdy door. Be sure to set up so the door opens away from you. You can also use the durable connection piece to combine the individual straps.

Once anchor widths are set, you can also adjust the straps to your desired length using the buckle lever. These easy adjustments let you cater to your own proportions for different exercises. You can change the width to make exercises more or less challenging. Set them wider for greater stability or narrower to make exercises more difficult.

Up For A Bigger Challenge?
If you want to provide an extra challenge for the core muscles, use the Strap Connector to join both straps together. Rather than securing each individual strap to a bar or door, simply wrap the connector around a sturdy object like monkey bars on playground equipment, a strong tree branch, or a chin-up bar. Without the stability of the individual strap anchor, you need to engage the core even more to maintain control during each exercise. the connector strap gives you greater flexibility for where you can use your smart straps bodyweight trainer.
Add Smart Straps to your home gym to take functional fitness to new heights! It doesn’t take up much space, easily secures to your door frame, and can be put away for easy storage. If you have a dedicated workout studio space, consider installing our ceiling/wall mount, which is designed to give you a place to secure your straps when the door mount isn’t ideal. Simply anchor the mount to overhead beams, like ceiling beams.
