Resistance Bands Set, 5 Pack Latex Exercise Bands with 5 Resistance Levels, Skin-Friendly Elastic Bands with Carrying Pouch for Home Workout, Strength Training, Yoga, Pilates

In the age of corona, I've discovered I don't need to go out to get a great workout.There are a vast number of resources online to guide me through exercises and, while not necessary, a few pieces of equipment can go a long way toward a great home gym.I took a chance on these resistance bands to add some variety to my home workouts and was not disappointed.The bands are durable and, as advertised, offer great resistance. My first workout with them was a bit awkward but I suspect this awkwardness will diminish with practice.One thing I was disappointed with was the length of the bands. My height is average but the bands are too short for some leg workouts.I appreciate the extras in this set. The bag is great for storing the bands. The jump rope was also a great surprise. I have been getting the most use out of this simple accessory. Jumping rope is my new hobby. Great way to quickly get the heart pumping.Overall, this set offers great value and is a nice addition to my modest corona home gym.

I got these bands after trying a different set that didn't have protective sleeves and here is a comparison:Pros:-The nylon sleeves really protect the bands. The other set I tried didn't have them and that caused the bands to break easily from friction when used with the door anchors.-The part where the bands connect with the carabiner are much stronger on this set than the other set I tried which had a metal grommet connecting the bands and carabiner. That metal grommet on a different set of bands failed. This set has held up.-They feel a lot closer to the listed weight than the other set I tried which had 10/20/30/40/50 lbs bands. These are 20/25/30/35/40 lbs. I'm comparing the feel of using 90lbs of stacked bands from both sets.Cons:-While the nylon sleeves protect the bands they can be annoying if it's pulled to one side. I recommend when you get these bands take them one at a time and put your foot on the center and pull up as far as you can reach. If the sleeve prevents you from extending one side as far as you can reach adjust it until the sleeve is evenly distributed. In my experience once you set up the sleeves evenly they mostly stay that way. I've only had to do a couple of minor adjustments over the month and half I've had them.-The door anchors (2) that come with these bands are bad. Spend another ten bucks and get a "neoprene padded door anchor" - I like the one sold by Boss. Not only does the padding protect the bands (though maybe not necessary since these have sleeves) but it also has a larger and stronger anchor.Overall I really like these bands compared to a similar set without nylon sleeves and recommend them. The sleeves protect the bands (and you if a band snaps), and the part where the bands connect to the carabiner are strong. I recommend getting a better door anchor.

I love the idea that the fabric sleeve is suppose to protect against the snap-back when the tubing breaks. The biggest problem I encounter is that when you loop it on the anchor (or anything else like a pull up bar), the fabric 'snags' the anchor. This causes a ridiculous amount of uneven distribution of tension of the left vs the right side of the band. It's almost as if one side is now locked short, and the other end has a ton of give. It doesn't matter how smooth or wide the anchor is (... I've tried a number of different surfaces). I've had this for months now and the frustration never lessens.

It took 3 bands (40 lbs + 35 lbs + 30 lbs, black, yellow, and blue) doubled up to lift my 50 lbs powerblock dumbbell off the ground. The bands stretched 14-15 inches (as doubled up) before lifting it off the ground.Their claim of 150 lbs of resistance is closer to 75 lbs tops when doubled up. They are helpful and useful. Especially during the plague... but their strength claims are WAY off. If you expect doubling them up will get 300 lbs you’d be VERY disappointed.The door stopper things are also very small. Foam wrapped around a 1/2” PVC pipe (1 1/4 “ long). They slip right out from under my bedroom door no problem. But they do hold in every other door frame side.

This set is an amazing deal. 150 pounds of resistance + jump rope + towel + 2 door anchors + ankle straps? Wow! I admit I'm pretty cheap and a frequent bargain hunter so I know sometimes that means I'm sacrificing quality, but I just got these today and tried them out, and these things are awesome. You can usually tell if something is crap quality the second you pick it up.. but you can immediately tell these are very well made. I never write reviews and this product didn't have many, (not sure if it's cause it's newer?) but it definitely deserves 5 stars. Kudos to the company, great product.

An amazing value! I had previously bought another set of resistance bands from Amazon but the resistance wasn't enough for me.This set not only provides more resistance for marginally more money but the build quality is shockingly good. The nylon sleeves are a great protection just in case something breaks (I was also looking for a cheap Crossover Symmetry approximation) but the heat shrink on the ends is a nice touch. All of the metal hardware is substantially beefier than the last set and I have no concerns about anything snapping or not holding well.I love being surprised like this from random Amazon products!

No dislikes here. They do the job. This set was recommended by our trainer so we bought them to use when we travel and can't get to gym. You can do just about every exercise you can dream up with them. Attaching it to your door adds even another whole set of routines you can do. We're gym people and we love these. I'm in my seventies and besides the gym these keep me healthy and strong.
