Bodyweight Resistance Training Kit for Full Body Workouts - Fitness Straps Workout Equipment (Premium Black)

A year ago I cancelled my gym subscription because it was getting too expensive and not economical for me with the amount of time I was using it. Part of my routine at the gym included a 20 minute session on the resistance straps in the gym. This included a lot of stretching, modified squats, sit-ups, pull-ups, etc... When I stopped going to the gym I continued to walk and golf a lot but my back did not feel good and I eventually started sessions with a chiropractor last summer...which was only a temporary fix. Still had a lot of back issues all fall into December until I ordered these resistance straps. My husband did a great job of finding an area in our fixed up basement to anchor them above a door and I use them at least 6 days/week. I can honestly say my back muscles are so much better....I don't have the issues I had over the past 9 months. These exercises have strengthened muscles in many areas and I am so grateful to have this set-up in my own home! The straps are very well made and I have complete confidence when putting all my weight on them. I must add you do need a reinforced area behind the anchor area to make sure it is safe to use. So happy with the quality of the straps and the fact I can get a great stretching work out in my own home....especially now with the pandemic! A great investment!

Very well constructed set of straps. Certainly as good as the TRX brand

Love, love, love these!! Adds to my warmup big time!!

I love my resistance band!Very nice and is well made.I really like the fact that you can change out the handles if youWould like.I would definitely recommend this product

All in one kit - no need for extras

I work out religiously 3 to 4 days a week and am pretty tough on my equipment so I'm always on the lookout for quality, value-priced equipment. This set is, for all intents and purposes, a TRX bodyweight training set, but far less expensive and it comes with more extras. But, it doesn't provide access to their workout plan. If you already know how to do the exercises like I do you would be well served to save your hard earned money and purchase this set instead, but if you're willing to pay extra for the TRX workouts then this may not be for you.This training kit includes a very sturdy ceiling mount to attach the straps to (which I already have but it can't hurt to have an extra one) and some "bonus" resistance bands. The bonus bands are nothing special but they do work okay. The main straps themselves are quite nice. They easily adjust to any length needed just like TRX, have well-designed handles, and are plenty strong enough for most any bodyweight exercise. We'll see how well they hold up over time, but so far so good... I'm glad I got them.

Suspension training is a great addition to the home workout. They use body weight for resistance and the use of the straps adds a dimension of instability which forces you to recruit more muscle fibers to help stabilize your body as you work out. Suspension trainers can be a single unit or dual straps. TRX is a single unit (one anchor point) while this is a dual strap system (2 anchor points). I personally prefer the single anchor point system because if you do not have the length of both straps exactly equal, there is a bit of give at the point where the straps connect to the anchor that lets you even out the distance.First, these are very well built resistance straps with excellent seaming and heavy duty metal parts. There should be no worries that these will fall apart or be of insufficient quality to hold your weight. For quality and materials, these are on par with TRX (I also own a set of TRX straps).I anchor my straps to a joist-mounted wall bracket in my basement which I highly recommend since this allows you to do exercises like suspended L sits. The wall mount included in the premium kit is very sturdy and heavy duty. These straps do not lengthen as much as my TRX straps so I need to use the extender in order for these to be long enough to do some of the exercises that require the straps to be at mid calf lenghth. This is a problem when working using a door as an anchor point since these straps do not have a separate door anchor but instead have the anchor built into the strap. I initially thought that was a cool feature until I used these while traveling and couldn't lenghten these sufficently. Another difference from TRX straps is that the adjustment mechanism for these is located at the top of the straps near the anchor point instead of near the handles. Since I am a very short person, it was a bit difficult for me to do adjustments to these straps. This is really only a problem for us short folks (I am 5 feet zero). The foot cradle was not as comfortable as I have seen on other straps but the handles were good quality and comfortable to grip.Overall, quality is good and these are very well made. For a bargain option, this is a really good set.

So, prior to covid, I was just getting into TRX bands at the gym. It is shocking how brutal a workout can be with just pushing and pulling your body weight. This set does a very nice job replicating that experience for much less expense than the original brand name straps. They are exceptionally well made and hold my weight with no issues. Additionally, you get a three pack of silicone resistance bands. They are just fine but nothing special. The mount is solid and very well made. A word of caution: The mounting bolts are huge and very thick. I didnt have a socket that was big enough to accommodate. You absolutely need to drill a pilot hole. A large one. All and all, this set is a great addition to any home gym. I get great back, chest, and lat work with these straps. I recommend.
