FITFORT Resistance Bands Exercise Bands Workout Bands - Up to 150lb, Indoor/Outdoor Bands with Door Anchor & Handles for Strength, Slim, Yoga, Home Gym Equipment for Men/Women

I'm a gym rat and due to this pandemic gyms have been closed in my area since March. After weeks of using the 40lb dumbell and a 45lb plate for workouts I started looking for other ways to get a workout similar to lifting heavy weights so I decided on resistance bands. The bands come with 5 bands with a total of 150lbs of resistance. I started out with a shoulder, back, and bicep workout like I do at the gym and these things work great!!! I use 100lbs of resistance for back, shoulders, and chest, and 50lbs of resistance for biceps and triceps. These bands work so well that I decided to do my workouts before walking for 4 miles. I also cancelled my unused gym membership.

Overall, I really like these resistance bands. I appreciate that multiple bands can be attached to the handles so that you can take the resistance up to 150 lbs. They are very easy to transport. My wife and I both have a set, and because the gyms are still risky to visit on account of COVID-19, we've adapted and we take our resistance bands out to parks and places out in nature and exercise in some really cool environments! I'm constantly learning new ways of using the bands. The only slight negative that I might mention is that when I wrapped them around a tree to perform back exercises, I noticed that the bands had slight scarring, very minor damage, and so I won't be wrapping them around trees with rough bark anymore. I imagine that should be expected, especially with a material that stretches and is pressed against a material that's rough, but nothing's perfect and there's other things I can use aside from trees to wrap the bands around.

For the most part, I love this set. It's super compact, the tension options are endless and the number of exercises you can do are endless as well. You can truly get a great workout absolutely anywhere with this. Everything seems high quality and made to last and I love that it comes with a bag to pack everything into. My only single issue with this - the bands are fairly long. The rooms in my house are small, so to get good tension on these, because of the length, you have to stand fairly far back, which is hard in my house being that there is only so much room I have. But besides that, this is a great affordable option for those that want to get a full body workout.

I definitely like these but the "weights" listed on them aren't even close to accurate. I double them over and use them to do a bench press, with the bands looping around my back... I'm fairly strong, but there's no way I can bench press 300 pounds 10 times; but I didn't buy them to build strength, I bought them to maintain ranges of motion and for traveling so I'm very happy with them.If I was to make two complaints they'd be: the metal hooks because they have sharp edges (that can be filed down pretty easily with a cheap file, like I did, but I don't use them anyways, so this doesn't really matter to me) I doubt the sewed ends can withstand the amount of force some people might put on them (but I don't use the included handles, so this is also a non-issue for me. I hold the tubes directly to build grip strength while doing the other exercises).All in all a great value

Like so many folks, I decided to bring my workouts in-house when the quarantine started. I tried to order 3 different ones, each of those companies flaking in some way. Anyhow, FITFORT finally came through and actually got me the bands super quick.I’m a former football player and typically lift fairly heavy at the gym (40lb dumbbell curls, 75lb Dumbbell chest press, etc), so while I knew these wouldn’t be a perfect replacement for dumbbells I was hopeful they’d give me a bit of resistance training back to my workout.In all honesty these things have far exceeded my expectations! I’ve been using them for 2 months now (3x per week, about 30 mins per workout) and I’ve already regained a good portion of my muscle definition! They provide really smooth, uniform resistance, the handles have held up nicely, and the door anchor works perfectly. As others have stated, the band resistance measures (the lbs printed on each band) are of course overstated. Assume the resistance is about 75% of what is printed, but the important thing is the different levels are relatively accurate, in other words, the 20lb band is half the resistance of the 40lb band. So It takes a workout or so to dial in the correct band combinations, but once you do it’s really a fantastic workout!I had no experience with bands prior to this set so it would’ve been hard to speak to quality/performance. However, it just so happened that my sister got a hold of a set from a big box retailer (starting with a “W”, you get the idea), so I’m using that one as well and let me tell you, that set is FAR inferior to this FITFORT set. I can now recommend this set wholeheartedly from both an experience and comparison perspective, you will not be disappointed!

They have been great as I continue my home workouts while the stay at home orders have been in effect, but I know now I don’t need to pay for the expensive gym membership and can keep using these to stay fit in my favorite routines at home! I highly encourage you to get yourself a set at this affordable rate!
