Pull Up Assist Bands Set by Functional Fitness. Heavy Duty Resistance and Assistance Training Band

The product arrived as expected and performs as expected. Durability is the most important indicator of quality so only time will tell how these will perform but so far, it seems like a well constructed product. This is the second purchase I make for elastic bands - the first purchase was from an online retailer (fitness avenue) and the 1 3/4" Green #5 band that I purchased from them snapped (narrowly missing my face) while using them for assisted pull-ups. I decided I didn't need the green#5 band for pull-ups because it made them too easy so I purchased the purple one with functional fitness. I am 170lbs, and even though the recommended resistance for this weight is the green#5 band, I find it much more useful and challenging to use the purple band. I have also used the purple band for resistance sprints (with a partner holding you back) and the band holds up just fine. The resistance is significantly higher the first times you use the bands but as you stretch them out, they assume what I would consider the appropriate level of resistance for the color (as compared to other bands I have used in gyms). Overall satisfied but I will report back on their durability in some time.

These are probably the best bands I've seen. First off, ditch the tube bands. Having said that if you use bands in your routine you need these. Immediately upon opening I stretched out as far as it could bear before turning white. After using them for a while they showed no signs of tear or pulling apart / peeling. If you break these you are either overworking them or Martyn Ford! I believe the negative reviews and few that have flaked or separated were from over use/stretch or simply a defective product, which understandably happens. Bands have sort of a sweet spot. These arent bungee chords. If you use them like they're intended, to stay in the optimal range, or sweet spot then they will remain effective. Projected Weight is more than accurate. I purchased the purple and green and they are definitely in the range they claim to be. Such an awesome product. Thick, durable and a broad range of flex. Will definitely purchase more!

These bands work just as expected in the gym, but they did arrive covered in grease which was sort of a pain to clean. Maybe they were used and returned...

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A GOOD QUALITY BAND and finally found one here!!! I used these bands at our gym and immediately ordered a set for my home use!!!! They are perfect for travel and you can get a full body workout with one band!!! And these bands are WELL MADE and the company has awesome customer service!

These bands are simply awesome and durable. I have been out of shape for while but used to do lots of pull ups in my prime years, like 30 pounds ago. I am getting back into the swing of pulling myself up. Pull ups are an awesome compound workout. It works everything but legs. Pull ups and push ups go a long way. I highly recommend bands, especially if you are out of shape it may help to prevent injuries.

I had used Pull Up bands before, but never had my own personal set. I love these because I use them everytime I go to the gym. I was unsure of what resistance to buy at first so I went with my gut. But luckily you have me to help...I went with the green one because I am 139 pounds and can not do one single pull up. It gives me some resistance, but not too much. You will sturggle a little at first but that is just your body trying to get used to it. Right now I am currently using the green one (remember, I hardly any upper body strength) and have started with doing just 3 sets of 5. I figured once I can do that, I will move up to 3 sets of 10. After I can do the 3 sets of 10 with no trouble, I will move on to the purple band and just do the same as the green one. By far this is one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. It is helping me get stronger and before you know it, I will be doing pull ups in no time.

Broke after third time of normal use. Very expensive for such poor quality. It was great at first. It’ll be interesting to see how many people update their reviews here after a few weeks of use. I would like to upload a photo of the broken band, but it appears that amazon has removed the ability to add photos to reviews.

Ok product.

me gusta pero no las he usado todabia lo suficiente para darle nota espero darle nota pronto cuando le saque brillo

Anyway interested in improving mobility to improve athletic performance should get these bands. One is very strong to ensure thorough fascial stretching and ideal for lower body mobility work. The other is ideal for upper body that requires less resistance. Check out mWOD by Kelly Starrett if you are interested in improving mobility to improve performance, prevent injury or even fix pain/flexibility issues you may have. These bands are essential for anyone in bodybuilding, crossfit or general athletics!

They bands are pretty good. I think they will be ok to use and they shouldn't crack. Comes with a video which is helpful. The only thing negative I could think of is that they are a little dirty and need to be cleaned the first time. The customer service was great. Answered my questions in a timely manner. Would probably buy again.
