Quick answer
Set up your TRX Suction Cup Phone Mount on a clean, flat, non-porous surface like a mirror or tile wall to keep your phone hands-free during home workouts.
Why surface choice matters
The TRX Suction Cup Phone Mount relies on powerful suction cups that need a smooth, clean, and non-porous surface for a secure hold. Painted drywall, textured wallpaper, or dusty glass won't work well and could cause your phone to fall mid-workout.
For home gyms, mirrors are ideal because they're already smooth and easy to clean. Tile walls, glass doors, or polished metal surfaces also work. Avoid porous surfaces like wood, brick, or fabric.
Phone compatibility and placement
The mount adheres magnetically to the back of compatible devices. Check that your phone case is compatible with magnetic mounts, or use the suction cup directly on a clean phone back. The mount is compact and travels with you, so you can set it up on any suitable surface at home or on the go.
Position the mount at eye level or slightly above, so you can follow workout videos without looking down. Avoid placing it where you might accidentally knock it during dynamic moves like burpees or jump squats.
Setup steps
- Clean the surface: Wipe the mirror, tile, or glass with a lint-free cloth and a mild cleaner. Remove dust, smudges, or residue. A clean surface ensures the suction cups hold firmly. Even a small fingerprint can reduce suction strength.
- Dampen the suction cups: Lightly moisten the suction cups with water (not soap). Press the mount firmly against the surface, then push the lever or button to lock the suction. A damp seal creates a stronger vacuum. Do not use oil or adhesive – water is enough.
- Attach your phone: If your phone case has a magnetic plate, align it with the mount's magnetic side. Otherwise, place the suction cup directly on the back of a clean phone. Ensure the phone is centered and secure before letting go. Test the hold by gently tapping the phone before starting your workout.
- Angle for viewing: Adjust the mount's ball joint to tilt the phone toward your face. Lock the joint by tightening the collar. For video calls, tilt slightly upward; for workout videos, keep it straight ahead. A loose joint can cause the phone to droop during exercise.
- Check stability before moving: Give the mount a light tug to confirm it's stuck. If it shifts, re-clean the surface and reapply. During dynamic exercises, avoid touching the phone or mount. If the mount falls once, re-clean and re-moisten – don't just press it back.
