These resistance bands are great and can be used for many different exercises. They come with some suggested exercises but you can find better examples online. They’re good and strong and come in a variety of resistance strengths, to make greater strengths you can use two together although for some exercises that could be awkward. There’s also an anchor you can jam into a door to act as a high anchor for e.g. chest flue. This depends on the door hinges being screwed in firmly – I felt uncomfortable using a high resistance for this. Overall these are great alternative to dumbbells.
I use these for physio reasons just to keep moving and have some resistance. The build quality is good and I’ve used all the bands together. I’ve had them at full stretch as well and done the job. I haven’t used to door mounted parts as personally I’d rather keep it under full control. I’ve had them now for a few months with light use and still they are good with no wear or tear. For what they are they are good but heavyweight stuff for me is best at the gym.
Product itself, 5 stars, can’t fault as second set of these bands that I have brought, however, very disappointed with the state of the packaging
Arrived in its own ‘The Fit Life’ box which was damaged, squashed and crushed and had the Amazon delivery label plastered over the front and top of the box
These were meant to be a gift for my son who starts University this weekend but could not be given as gift in this condition
My last set, admittedly purchased some time ago had arrived in a brown delivery box so was not damaged, can’t fault the product though
These are good for keeping upper body in check. The trick is finding somewhere to attach them – I have used the door-jamb feature, but it does make the door less easy to use. But as I cant be bothered to take it up and down now, it has the benefit of being visible – and so I use it more.
The bands can be used individually or in various combinations to provide different levels of resistance, and in some situations there’s the option of doubling the bands.
The door stop attachment is the star of the show here, as it turns your doorway into an anchor point for the bands, and you can place it high, low or anywhere in between depending on what exercise you wish to perform. I am also impressed by the inclusion of a ‘do not enter’ sign to hang on the door to stop family members from inadvertently opening the door while you’re in a vulnerable position; this could potentially prevent accidents and injuries.
A manual is included that illustrates the many options for exercising and details which muscles are targeted, and the whole set packs into a stuff bag that takes up very little room.
I cannot comment on durability as I’ve yet to use the set for an extended period of time, but my initial impression is that everything appears to be quite durable; I have no immediate concerns.
Overview: fantastic value that provides many options at low cost and takes up minimal space.
Five out of five from me.
I haven’t been to the gym since the first lockdown shut them down. I have since found it hard at home with standard dumbbells to do a full range of workouts and found I was doing the same exercises over and over. Bought these and started with a few tricep workouts. Fair play it was the first time since the gym that I had a good solid workout using muscles that I hadn’t used for a while. I’m not in awesome shape and not a gym fanatic by any stretch of the imagination but enjoy keeping fit and staying in decent shape and these are definitely helping by mixing up the workout routine.
I have found that instead of using dumbbells or EZ curl bars etc that I have to add an extra 5 reps per set but that is definitely not an issue at all when you can feel like you’ve had a good workout.
One thing I was surprised about was the quality for the price. Cracking bit of kit. Easy to use. Easy to clip on. Good quality material. Plus the amount of workouts you can actually do with these is impressive.
If, like myself, you enjoy casually working out and don’t fancy going to the gym with everything how it is at the moment, then I would highly recommend getting these and would be surprised if you weren’t as happy with them as I have been.
These bands have proven to be very versatile. There are so many on the market that it can be a bit of a minefield trying to work out which ones are decent and which are best left alone. Through friends and relatives who have also had sets, I am happy to say that I seem to have dropped on one of the better sets with these.
The good points:
+ Good quality bands, carabiners and “D” rings, which gives you confidence in using them.
+ Very versatile. I do a daily routine of 20-25 different exercises with these.
+ “Stackable” resistance, which means that you can use multiple bands at the same time to increase the resistance level.
+ Foam handles are soft and comfortable, with a decent amount of foam padding.
+ Ankle straps are lightly padded and a decent width. Many I have seen have no padding at all and are narrow and uncomfortable.
The not-so good points:
– The accompanying exercise booklet doesn’t give you a great range of exercises, but it is easy enough to find ideas online.
– The stuff bag is a little on the small side. One of the great things about these bands is that you can take them anywhere, but it takes away from the convenience factor if you have to struggle to get them back into the bag. Fortunately, I had a spare stuff bag that was a better size and I use that instead.
But all in all, these are definitely a recommended buy. Reliable quality at a price that won’t break the bank.
