TRX FORCE Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was in the military and the gym on base had a few sets of TRX's that you could use. I don't like lifting weights on a regular basis, every now and then is fine to gauge where you are at, but ultimately I feel body weight workouts will get you in better overall shape.

I added the TRX to my workout and noticed my stabilizer muscles were being heavily recruited and I thought I had trained them enough already. I was WRONG. The TRX system delivers its promise of being durable, portable and effective.

I used it a good bit and then when I wanted my own set I found out how expensive they were and started looking for alternatives.

I ended up with finding some nylon straps at my local Home Depot that are about 2" wide and can withstand up to 5,400 lbs of tension. I've used some stiff garden hose for handles, but I know people have used PVC pipe as well. I've made two sets; One with grommets placed 6" apart all down the webbing, and then another pair that are marked every 6" with a black line and you just wrap the remaining length around your anchor point. Both sets have the 6" sections numbered starting with '1' at the bottom grommet/line and increasing the numbers as you go up the length of webbing.

For attaching them to doors I found that using a carabiner wrapped in something soft (cloth, old wet suit material, etc.) and then tapped up are pretty decent and don't damage doors. The pair without grommets I just tie a knot in the end of the line, or wherever I need the knot, and close the door on it.

I haven't noticed anything wrong with the set with grommets, but I suspect that adding the grommets has reduced the tension resistance to a certain degree, thus the extra pair without the grommets.

A home made kit might run you $15-30 depending on your resources and scrounging ability

I was pleased with the system, but I can not see how they justify the prices. Also I can not find anything on their website saying where their product materials come from or where the manufacturing takes place. I would hope something developed by a Navy SEAL would try to keep as much of their product assembled and built by Americans. No offense to the rest of the world's nations of course.

Bodylastics ***MAX TENSION Heavy Duty Resistance Bands System with User Book & DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a gym loving female living in an an urban area.The gyms in the area are small and overcrowded.My fitness goal is to become and stay firm and jiggle free, an appearance usually referred to as 'toned'.This requires a higher number of reps per set.If you've ever tried to do 3 sets of 15-20 reps in a slow and controlled manner in small and crowded gym, you probably been subjected to 'the stare'.You've just sat down, and are starting your first set, and one or more 'people in a hurry' form a line in front of you, and proceed to stare you down until you get off or let them work in.I always let people work in of course, and end up spending my limited time waiting for others.

So, I decided to create a home gym.

In my small urban 1 bedroom, I do not have room for the Lifefitness home cable system of my dreams, so I had to look at other forms of resistance exercises. I already have a commercial quality Lifecycle, so my cardio was covered.I couldn't decide between the Bodylastics clip system and the Deluxe Spri Xertubes, so I bought a set of both.This has been working well, and I'm able to move quickly between the two brands depending on what I'm doing at the moment.

The Bodylastics Max set with DVD is a quality set.The DVD is basically a cardio/resistance all in one workout, rather than a tutorial on how to use the bands, so keep that in mind.You are given a one year membership to their exercise demonstration website, which is helpful, but a little dry and basic.I would rather have the DVD go over the exercises in depth, really showing and discussing how to use the bands.If I could go back, I would have ordered the set without the DVD.

I have pretty strong legs, and ordered the Max set with the 23lb black band for that reason.I am currently using the blue band, (19lbs) on one leg, and the red/yellow combo, (18lbs total) on the other leg for laying down hamstring curls, and will graduate to the black band at some point to push myself.

Why separate bands for each leg?Well, with the door anchor set up you will need at least 4-5 feet in front of the door just for a standing or sitting exercise alone.With a laying down exercise, you will need to probably double that depending on your height, and I don't have that kind of room in front of my door.I have a unique solution, that I will not describe, as it involves the specific layout of my home, but it allows me to stretch out completely and involves using separate bands for each leg. The system is very versatile that way, and you may have to come up with your own creative solutions to make it work for you.

The handles are very sturdy and comfortable, as are the ankle straps.I wouldn't have minded a little more padding on the ankle straps, and when you do leg exercises with tougher resistance you will see what I mean.I recommend thicker knee socks for comfort.Yep, they're goofy looking, but hey, you're at home.

I keep the storage bag looped around my stationary bike handle, and you could keep it looped around anything at arm level.This allows you see into it and dig around easily.The ankle straps and handles are kept in the convenient side pocket of the storage bag, making it easy and quick to find them when I'm doing switch-outs.

The door anchor is solid and large, much more substantial that the SPRI door anchor.I use only a 3 hinge door for absolute safety, and it has worked flawlessly.

All in all, I am very satisfied with this product, and would buy it again.I am already seeing results!

Basic Resistance Bands Workout Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a quality product. The customer support is excellent. Replies to my email have been fast and courteous.1 defective band was replaced immediately.

The set is just as promised. the bands are sturdy and have nice metal clips. The only thing that could be improved is the "door attachment" it works fine at the top and side of the door, but easily slipped through the bottom of a door when there is a carpet. There is a web site with exercises that is oddly not mentioned anywhere, but you can find the videos on You Tube. It's the best bang for the buck.

Product Description:
Resistance bands, often referred to as resistance tubes or exercise bands, are the most effective and underrated form of exercise in the fitness world. Whether your goal is building lean muscle mass or shedding excess body fat, a good set of elastic bands will help you reach your goals. Enter the ultra-portable Aylio resistance bands set, which comes with four bands (one low-, one medium-, one high-, and one ultra-high-strength band), a pair of soft-grip handles, a pair of ankle straps, and a door attachment. Each item in the set contributes to your physical well being by challenging your upper body, lower body, and core muscles. For instance, you can use the bands to burn fat through high-rep, low-resistance exercises, or to gain lean muscle mass through low-rep, high-resistance exercises. The door attachment is also productive, as it lets you create more than 100 exercises targeting all the major muscle groups throughout the body, including the abs, chest, back, and arms. And thanks to the bands' unique metal clipping system--which clips securely to the handles and ankle straps--you can safely and easily adjust the resistance levels. You can even clip on all four bands simultaneously to create up to 50 pounds of resistance.
The resistance band set is so efficient that it eliminates the need for expensive gym memberships or bulky and expensive home gyms. In fact, the set is priced lower than a single session with a personal trainer. Bundled with a compact carrying pouch, the resistance band set is ideal for all fitness levels and body types, including beginners, children, the elderly, professional athletes, and bodybuilders.

TRX Suspension Trainer Professional Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is well constructed. Heavy weight nylon webbing used throughout. I was really impressed with the quick length adjustment system. the prone/ supine leg exercises are surprisingly hard! Register your warranty online and you can download a free video that shows how to adjust the difficulty of several exercises.
I am not a paid reviewer so no extraordinary statements here. It is ring training. There are many options out there. The advantage of this system is the quick adjust ability, able to attach just about anywhere, and foot straps.

MUSCLE & FITNESS HERS Strength Bands System by Bodylastics Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In late December of 2009 I purchased this in attempt to bring my 78 year old body back from pain enforce lack of activity. It doesn't look like much but it works. I exercise with it an hour a day and can feel the difference, and usually work up a sweat. Also it doesn't bore me as previous exercise did as one stops to change the many possible setups. It's simple to increase the energy needed by simply moving away from the hookup point. It is also very portable and can easily be carried on trips as all one needs is one of the bands with grips and a door to which to attack the band, which is simple. And the price is right. I liked it so well that I bought one for my daughter. Hans Wendler, Epsom, NH
