SAFE and DURABLE Resistance Bands
I've been using Sport Cords resistance exercise bands for 30+ years after herniating back discs on two different occasions, back school and a recommendation by my physical therapist. While I have tried other resistance bands including latex bands, I would urge every person who uses resistance bands to research injuries which may occur when latex bands suddenly snap with no warning and no visible appearance of significant wear and tear or damage. I have sustained minor injuries like strained back muscles when such bands snapped suddenly even when they had an interior fiber cord to minimize sudden over-extension. Former Senate Majority leader, Harry Reid, suffered significant vision loss in one eye with broken bones when a resistance band unit he was using slipped from his grasp. ALL resistance bands and attachments need to be inspected routinely for wear and tear including Sports Cords. But Sports Cords are designed to ensure user safety by encasing interwoven latex strands within an outer nylon sleeve. As the inner latex strands begin to weaken with use and age, some of the broken latex strands will gradually begin to poke through the outer nylon sleeve cover. In addition, the nylon cover will gradually begin to fray showing signs of wear and indicating it is time to replace the bands. Just as important, I have multiple sets of Sport Cords resistance bands which I have used 5-7 days weekly for more than 2 years and are still in good shape, though I must emphasize that I inspect all cords, handles and attachment devices weekly and replace as needed (normally after 2-3 years). Other bands may be cheaper, BUT at the cost of injuries or disability which will cost you far more for medical treatment and recovery. So if you exercise for health and wish to avoid injuries, INVEST in Sport Cords resistance bands, INSPECT routinely and BE SAFE with Sports Cords.

Worth it.
It provides me a great variety of exercises when away. Certainly not as good as a gym, but far better than just taking walks in the park to keep in shape. The parts seem well designed, but the handles are a little small for me. I use biking gloves so the straps don't rub against my hands. Well worth the cost.

Lots of resistance at many angles
It's not a total body workout, but surprisingly covers a lot of muscle groups. By combining the cables and looping them, you can create a lot of resistance, and by anchoring to different parts of the door, you can do many different workouts. Nice product, great during COVID.

Very happy with this product!
I feel these style of bands are superior to the pure latex bands that are available from other manufacturers. Much more stretch which allows for more versatility in use like lateral gait over hurdles etc....

Bands are great; door setup not so much
Good product but the door setup is not as good as I expected. I'll keep the product because of the quality of the bands themselves but the door setup is poor at best.

Needs an improved design
Really poor design. To use on an extremity (in my case an ankle) the strap wraps circumferentially and the more resistance, the tighter the constriction. In fact, It actually felt as though it impaired the circulation after several reps. In addition, the material was necessarily thick but as a result the edge of the band was pretty rough on the skin, even when applied over a sock. The brochure included was inadequate for explaining the uses. Hard to imagine what in the world would cause the price to be close to $70 for a few cords & straps. For the privilege of trying the product, it cost be about $8 to send it back. Think carefully about why you should spend the money on this vs something like a Thera-band.

I'm thoroughly impressed thus far...
So far so good...They seem really sturdy, I've been using them a fair amount since I've purchased them. I'll update this review when/if they snap on me. I'm thoroughly impressed thus far.Disclaimer: I was not paid to write this review in any way, nor did I receive the product at a discount.

Misleading Product Advertisement on Amazon Site
When the package arrived, it was missing one of the resistant bands. It also comes with very little instruction on use, the actual instruction pamphlet was more something our youngest son might draw. In addition, I tried to understand how to use, based on some drawings that had been part of the pamphlet, when on the first movement the black resistant band membrane snapped. For this price I would not recommend that you order, I had another I was interested in and now wished I had gotten it. This is a third party re-seller, so my return process may also be a nightmare
