Developed by Pilates instructor Khita Whyatt and partner Kirsten Sell, the Bodhi Suspension System focuses on five key fitness categories including strength, stability, balance, proprioception, and flexibility. The 4-point suspension system design works with all body types making exercise fun and engaging!
Bodhi is different than other suspension exercise systems. Featuring 4 suspension points, Bodhi gives users more control over their movement, lending itself to our very precise mind-body programming. Bodhi uses dynamic rock climbing ropes, providing a softer slightly bouncy feel...far different than solid synthetic web straps. And Bodhi uses Prusik knots for the rope-loop linkage. Prusik knots are a rock climbing tool, providing a solid, secure linkage to the ropes, and is fast and easy to adjust.
Bodhi is used in group classes, privates, post-rehabilitation sessions, and at home. This innovative suspension system can be attached on the ceiling, wall, or door. Bodhi is also easy to pack and carry to outdoor exercise areas – simply rig over pull-up or high bar and exercise wherever you go. Bodyweight suspension exercise delivers proven results. Users of all abilities will progress quickly as they “learn the ropes.” There is no better way to train the full body than with the one-of-a-kind Bodhi Suspension System!

FROM THE COMMUNITY
I love the Bodhi Suspension Trainer – it’s a perfect complement to other Pilates work. I use it with both younger and older clients to improve balance, core strength and more.

FAQs
The Bodhi Suspension System has four connection points, allowing all four limbs to be suspended and enabling the user to move while fully suspended in the air. This “weightless” suspension allows multi-planar movement. Adjusting the length of the Bodhi for different exercises involves simply sliding the strap or handle to the new position. The Bodhi is suspended from two attachment points, which aligns the ropes more closely with the shoulder and hip joints. The Bodhi ropes are “dynamic”, providing a softer feel during use.
The Bodhi Suspension System ropes can be installed in a number of ways, from the ceiling or the wall, depending on your gym or studio setup. Check out the installation videos on BB Garage.
The straps can be placed in the washing machine and dryer. The handles can be disinfected using sprays or wipes suitable for neoprene.
