Check whether your door, ceiling, beam or wall suits a suspension trainer, the clearance you need, and how to anchor it safely.

Door anchor safety checklist
Why these numbers: suspension trainers work best with an anchor 2.1–2.7 m (7–9 ft) high and a clear “Goldilocks zone”
of roughly 2.4 m of length and 1.5 m of width so you can move through every exercise without hitting anything. Always confirm the
anchor is rated for dynamic bodyweight load and test carefully before full effort.
