GEKU FIT Resistance Band Workout Footplate - Wood Exercise Platform with Non-Slip Surface for Band Training, Stretching, and Full-Body Home Gym

Very happy with this. It's fairly heavy, which is good because it means it's solid, which you want if you use heavy band loads like I do. The rounded edges are easy on bands, and the finish on the wood looks great and made to last. The non-slip surface is a nice thick sandpaper adhesive with the right level of grit. The channels offer options around how you can route and pre-tension the bands for a given exercise. I was initially a minimalist and used just bands, but a plate like this (especially along with some quality j-hooks and a bar) enables you to take band workouts to the next level by making your movements more stable and focused on the specific muscles you are working on when you are getting into higher band tension levels. It's deceptively simple. Yes - in a way it's just a board, but when you look into the thoughtfulness of the design details and the quality of the execution, I'm happy paying a reasonable price for such a solid product.

I'm a big fan of Geku Fit's Resistance Band Bar as it was by far the best resistance band bar with hooks that I found on Amazon. Once I found out they were releasing a footplate at a reasonable price, I was immediately intrigued and since there were free returns, I figured there was little to no risk in purchasing it. I've been using resistance band training for 2yr+ at this point so I'm pretty familiar with the various bars and footplates out there. Instead of having a "premium" footplate, I've been using a budget solution that worked but had its limitations. I am happy to say that the Geku Fit footplate meets the "premium "definition and it exceeded my expectations. The footplate is extremely durable and it reminds me of a high quality cutting board. Despite knowing the dimensions and weight, I was surprised with how heavy it felt when holding it which speaks to how durable this product is. I've tried working out on this with my heaviest bands and the footplate is sturdy and rock solid. There are multiple channels on the bottom to allow for more exercise flexibility. For example, I've tried doing a bench press along the shorter channel and it worked very well. All the edges are extremely smooth so I have no concerns with it causing unnecessary abrasion when working out with bands. There is also sufficient room to add multiple bands if necessary. I opted to not use the included grip tape since I felt it was unnecessary. The material is exactly like grip tape you would see on a skateboard and I would suggest using it if you need more foot grip when working out.

I’ve been using the GEKU FIT Resistance Band Workout Footplate for a couple of months and haven’t noticed any issues. It doesn’t slip as long as you apply the included anti-slip stickers. I often use multiple resistance bands at once for deadlift-style pulls, and the platform holds up perfectly—no bending, warping, or deformation. The finish is very clean and smooth, so it won’t damage your bands. Overall, the quality is excellent and it feels solid and well-made.

If you are considering the X3 or just want to do banded deadlifts for the variable resistance (matching the deadlifts linear strength curve) this is it. It makes resistance band workouts palatable if like me you hate stepping on them and never knowing how wide or how much slack in between you had previously. It's well made and lets you go heavy. I haven't tried the X3 but their base looks like the cheap stuff you find on AliExpress. That being said, for deadlifts it's great and you can use Geku's bar. For squats however it is too tough still getting into position with any meaningful amount of resistance. Back squat of course harder than front, but I guess Zercher or hack squats are doable. I would not recommend trying the bench press option in the pics. The grip material you apply is like sandpaper and honestly elbows don't go back far enough.

Great construction, quality footplate. Don't waste your money on something else.

Perfect for a quick answer to needing a plate without breaking the bank. I think the plates with the slot in the middle adds a little more versatility but not a major deal for most people.

I recently switched from free weights to isometrics. I am 64 years old, and weightlifting became too hard on my joints. I purchased a World Fit ISO trainer to perform Overcoming Isometric exercises, but I didn't like the way the straps pressed against my shoes. Also, it is hard to get a strap centered while standing on it. The GEKU board solves these issues. The board has slots to slip the strap through, and the force is then shifted to the board instead of your feet. The strap centers itself almost automatically. It also works great with elastic resistance bands. The board is very high quality and should last for years. Great investment!

works good for what we needed it for

Qualitativ super hochwertig, nur der Preis ist etwas hoch. Trotz allem eine Bereicherung für jeden der mit widerstandsbändern arbeitet. Es werden auf einmal Übungen möglich, die vorher unter großen Kompromissen und schummelein nur möglich waren.

Having 2 bits to use means drop sets on chest is possible. I also use the width section for front squats good stuff. I havent got to clever with single arm from one edge so cant comment on that. I have a plastic stepper firt but the wood feels good!! 😄

I'm certain Amazon will vouch for the fact that I'm a very particular customer. That said, I would award this product 6 stars if I could. For the price, the product is awesome. Given what I consider ridiculous prices of other boards I was going to build my own. When I saw the Geku board and noticed the price, I wondered if it was worth the trouble of building my own. Plus I could always return it. I can say I am extremely happy with the board, in fact I could say the same of all Geku equipment and I now own most it. While this board is great - the packaging is truly next level. I've never seen packing this good.

Very nice quality and just what I need for my band/bar ‘deadlift‘ setup

Absolutely brilliant piece of kit for the home gym. It's well made and well finished. Yes you have to put the feet pads on the bottom and the grip cover on the top but it's easy enough and works very well once done. 5 stars from me.
