Undersun Fitness Home Gym & Exercise Equipment - Muscle Building Workout Program with 5-Band Home Workout Resistance Rubber Bands Set- 5 Different Levels of Resistance Bands.

I've had the bands for about a week now. I'm glad I made the purchase. The bands feel well made and durable. The program that comes with the bundle includes profession videos with clear instruction on form and routine. I really enjoy how portable these are, and I like that it gives me the same pump from the gym. Just a heads up: if you order from Amazon, you need to visit their website to activate your TA2 Build program. I'm not sure how to get the program to show up on the Undersun app, unfortunately. It asks for a code, which I didn't receive with my order. It would be nice to be able to record my progress with the app. Overall: absolutely a recommended item. Loving it.

The leaflet that comes with the product takes you to pages that you cannot upload. Went on to website to do the warranty. Still unable to log in to the fitness programme via the email you say you will receive as the email did not turn up. Bands are good. As expected. Shame the gloves are not going to be available for ages. Impossible to use them without proper gloves.

I have worked out off and on with Bands for many years. I have been using Bodylastic tubular bands the whole time. And, I love them. But, I was poking around the inter webs looking for variations of leg exercises with bands and stumbled across this jacked dude (James Grage) on YouTube who had a lot of videos and spent as much time talking about the science, or the why and how the muscles worked, in addition to the exercises, and he was using these flat, loop bands. I ended up wasting a Sunday watching a lot of his videos, the old ones when he was slinging iron, and the new ones, where he was all in on bands. His kind of nerdy style sold me. So off to Amazon to find and try them. There was a $20 special on the bands and the TA2 program, so I jumped on it. I am on week 6 of the program and I like the bands, love the program. There are unique exercises, and my leg day is harder now then it has ever been. Grage as your online personal trainer is great. If you don’t want to read the rest of the ramble, just get them with TA2. It’s a worthy investment. That said, if you are into analysis paralysis, want to know the potential risks, or you work for Undersun and want to improve the product, there are few little issues to be aware of. First, you MUST wear gloves when you work out. No cushy comfortable handles like the Bodylastic. The bands will murder your hands. I have been using some cheap costco light weight fleece winter gloves with silicone grips across the palms, and they work fine. I imagine any old glove you have laying around that will provide a little grip will work, but i suggest getting one that has the touchscreen fingers. I use an IPad to both watch the workout videos and record my progress. Taking gloves off and on, or using my nose on the touch screen are not ideal. Undersun sells some branded gloves I might buy just to support the company, but it’s entirely unnecessary. Also, because you don’t have handles, some exercises with the heavier bands require a fair amount of grip strength and/or the bands crush your hands. I miss the handles, but it’s often the handles that prevent you from getting the range of motion you need. Second, month one is all no anchor exercises. Nearly all are good and unique, but a couple are goofy, and I couldn’t wait to get to month 2 to get into the anchored exercises. But, using the door anchor is less than ideal. Why you ask dear reader? Well, it’s not the anchor itself or exercising from it, but trying to remove a latex hitch knot cinched tight on a piece of nylon webbing is... less than ideal. I imagine if you have a smith machine or something similar to latch onto it’s not too bad, but the door anchor experience is not great. I have been using the Bodylastic door anchor instead, which is a bigger anchor with a larger piece of neoprene that helps a little. Third, It’s been six weeks since I did it, but there is something goofy about buying on Amazon and then getting signed up on their website, but I don’t remember it fully... something to do with emailing the company to get access, which doesn’t make a ton of sense. I DO remember that it sucked to get the bands, want to work out immediately, and have to wait a day to be able to log in. They need to fix this. Fourth, the video and audio quality of all the workouts is great and Grage is the truth when it comes to talking about the how and why. But the website has a few weird things. For instance, you can’t stay logged in. I have to log on every time I use the website which is annoying. I’d kill for one of those little check boxes that says “stay logged in”. Maybe it’s my browser settings, but I don’t think it is. Fifth, I am curious about the durability. So far so good, but rubbing on the nylon webbing of the door anchor, then having to pull the knot apart after the fact will surely stress the latex. I will have to watch it closely. Finally, and this is ultra picky, but while I love all things orange, I wish the bands were all black with orange lettering instead of orange because they would do a better job of hiding the black rubs that come from the door anchor or the various gloves I have tried. I imagine just like the bodylastics I can use some tire cleaner to clean them up and prolong their life, but it would be cool if they were black. Ok, if you made it this far, it might sound like I didn’t like them. But the total package of the bands and the TA2 programs are 5 stars and I recommend it.

Like many others in 2020, I've been shackled to my home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The gyms closed, weather was iffy for running for a good long while, and there was little hope of finding exercise equipment floating about. Target was empty. Dicks was bare. eBay was empty. Where those little iron weights were available, they suddenly became more valuable per pound than gold. So I resorted to body weight exercises. I had a pull-up bar and an ab wheel, and there's a YouTube yoga guy who I really like. As much as I got really good at pull-ups and push-ups, these weren't nearly enough. Turns out when you don't weigh a lot, body weight doesn't count for much. I found myself wanting something more. I wanted that familiar burn, that same feeling you get after putting 150 pounds over your head. I couldn't replicate that, not even a little. Like the Little Mermaid, I want moooooooooore! Then I found these by chance. Or, more likely, because of target advertising where the interwebs quickly learned that I was desperate for a decent workout. I was skeptical at first, thinking that these were sort of gimmicky, that a glorified rubber band could never replace wrought iron and gravity. When the bands arrived, I quickly signed up for the program on the TA2 website. There was a bit of a snafu getting everything connected, but I sent them a quick email and it was rectified within just a few hours. So bonus kudos to their customer support. They were great. Thanks, Jennifer! Once the program was up and running, I took the bands to a quiet place in the house free of noise or cats. I set up my laptop and pulled up the first video of the "Build" workout. It took a bit of toying to get the resistance right and to figure out my grip and posture. If you harbor ANY doubt about if these bands can give you a good workout... ...WELL LET ME TELL YOU! These suckers will do it. How young and foolish I was a week ago. These are not merely "glorified rubber bands."They are gladiator-building chains of exquisite pain. After I was done with the first workout, I wanted more, so I repeated the entire thing. Sweat poured out of me like it hadn't in so long. I was shaky. I was starving. I. WAS. FREE!!! Each workout is as difficult as you want it to be. If you want a challenge, if you want to prove yourself, you can do that. The 20-10-10-15 methodology gives an amazing balance between strength, balance, and cardio. You have to focus so intently on what you're doing because of how the bands want to pull you into a pretzel shaped scrumple of a human that screams, "KILL ME!" It makes you want to pay attention to your form like nothing I've ever experienced before. For the first time in forever, I finally feel like me again. If you want to be a shaking, blubbering mess of sweat, tears, and the physical embodiment of pain and agony, these are for you. Challenge yourself! Be the best you! Own that pain and the burn and together we will rule the galaxy as father and--- wait, wrong speech. You get my point. I find these bands delightful. I look forward to using them for a long while to come. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to schlub my way over to the pantry to make a protein shake. Ow.

Everything I love about the bands. Training videos are great and easy to follow. They have weekly and monthly data entry. Excellent product and the wat of the future.
