Bodylastics Resistance Bands: Get Fit and Tone Your Muscles at Home

Acheron: I’m a paraplegic in a wheelchair and my shoulders have begun to breakdown. My PT recommended getting this kind of equipment as opposed to using the ‘bands’. What a difference! I am able to go through my exercises using proper technique. Highly recommend!

Larry: This is a well built and engineered piece of equipment, a significant step up from my first set of bands. Grips and ankle straps are heavy duty. Ankle straps are long enough to fit over clothing and leave plenty of overlap, reduced chance of separating. Grips are solid not just foam over a strap. The carabiners are a thicker gauge compared to the hardware store version of the first set. Great design, engineering, build and price. Well done, look forward to years of use. Great value for your money.

Diana: I've been using these bands for about two months, and they've worked well for me as someone new to strength training. The handles are comfortable to hold and don't slip during exercises.

The bag is a good size and can hold everything in the set: the 6-bands, the handles, the leg straps, the door strap, and the "anywhere" strap.

It's a good beginner set for the price point if you're willing to make the investment.

MadPotter: I have wasted money on many different ypes of bands over the years - some are dangerous and snap almost immediately...some last a while before the rubber decays ...

I bought a set of these years ago and they are only needing to be replaced now - by far the best quality I have come across. Not the cheapest in the short term but certainly are in the long tem.

David S: This resistance training kit might be the best and most cost-effective bit of exercise equipment that I have ever bought. I initially purchased this (along with another higher resistance Bodylastics band) for a 6 week trip where I likely won’t have access to a decent gym, or won’t have time to keep travelling to a gym.

The quality is quite good, other than the somewhat questionable door anchor. The internal ropes provide a better sense of safety – which is the main reason I bought this brand instead of others.

I have a pretty extensive home weight-training gym which uses free weights – including several benches, hex trap, lots of steel plates, pulley equipment, many attachments, etc. Compared to the free weights, these elastic bands seem be easier on the body, but provide longer lasting benefits. This might be partly because my body has become used to free weights, but I think it’s more because the elastics can provide a more linear resistance throughout the range of motion. It’s not actually linear, simply because the elastic resistance becomes greater as it stretches – but it’s better than with free weights. i.e. regular bicep curls have little...

Cliente de Amazon: Por años utilice equipos tradicionales de gimnasio, después de una lesión en el hombro busque alternativas de entrenamiento. Encuentro en las ligas una gran opción sin tener que salir de casa. Escogí esta marca por la seguridad de la cuerda interna y la calidad de sus agarraderas, en general el sistema no decepciona, armas fácil y rápido el sistema a piso o puerta, fluyendo mis ejercicios de una manera rápida y cómoda. En general una muy buena inversión.

Joe: Brilliant product. I found my weight bench tiresome and negative to use, I suffer from depression and other things and I found the bands to help ease me in, more I pull stronger I get, it's simple and easy. My body already looks different after a couple weeks of use. I do 2 hours every other day and it's sorted my posture, my shoulders, my arms and my upper and lower back. I do use mini bands for my upper back but bands are definitely worth the money. I'm getting more out of this set than I ever would a £700 bench set, personally. I recommend. I'm 30, male and average strength, I got the heaviest set and that was the right choice as I've already doubled up bands for my bicep curls.

VIELRECOBRE: C est un bon produit, je pratique depuis trois ans seule soucis, il est compliqué de ce procurer des élastiques au détail, car la société est américaine et ne livre pas France.

MickeyMcMick: My name is Richard Sullivan. I am a fitness author and a personal training consultant. I am going to compare three popular brands of resistance bands here, two of which were purchased on Amazon, and the third gifted to me by the manufacturer. I am going to compare all the different components and relate important features you may not have given much thought to. Each brand has its own strengths and weaknesses, but one is the clear overall choice and you can zoom ahead to the end of this post if you’re impatient. If you search Amazon.com you will find a few dozen different types of resistance bands and brand names, but these three I am reviewing I personally own and have used multiple times a week over an extended period of time for very challenging workouts, far more challenging than what the average person would utilize.

Because I did not acquire these with the goal of doing a comparison, but actually put to heavy use all three interchangeably, three or more times a week, and have done so now for a prolonged period, I think you might find my observations to be of value with regard to your deciding what to look for in considering a set of non-rubberband style resistance...

R.J.: I know this is long and I am sorry, but I was new to these when I bought them. I went on a lot of forums to find the right brand. I could find a lot of YouTube videos about how to determine the weight of your bands, but they were awful and didn't tell you anything about how to use them to actually achieve those weights or how to increase or decrease the weight without changing bands.

*Skip to the bottom if you want to know how resistance bands work, ie stretch vs. actual weight.

I bought this set mainly for physical therapy on my knee. I have extensive nerve damage and aerobic exercise is out of the question. So I have had these for a month now. I really do like this set. There is a lot of variety in weights. I live in an RV and free weights are not an option. I also feel safer using these. I have worked out a decent amount with free weights and I feel I can keep my balance better when working out my arms at chest height and higher.

Now the goodies it comes with.

The door anchor works great. So far the biggest band I have put on it is the 8# one (so 16#'s working weight). Remember it's an RV. I keep an eye on the door and frame. There is not the...
