Reviewer: B. Schuerman, arizona, usa
I was and still am a free weight kind of guy ever since highschool. I moved into an apartment with my girlfriend and found myself in the terrible predicament of having to sacrifice my weight bench and various other equipment in exchange for living space. In so doing I needed to find an alternate workout solution. I came across bodylastics on accident. I am a skeptic by nature but read the reviews and decided why not?
Having owned these bands for the better part of a year I have been able to achieve the same results as those of my weight bench. Not only am I satisfied with the quality of the product I am impressed with how challenging these bands really are! After using these bands I found that I was excersizing muscles that I never could with the weight bench! Don't get me wrong the weight bench has it's place. But not for my goals. For my goals these bands, a stability ball and a Iron Gym Extreme workout bar is really all I need to get the results I want. I also mountain bike for cardio. Being a busy person and usually finding it tough to spend much time working out these bands have proven a great fast solution to saving me time. Their construction is superb and truly do make other resistance bands look weak and frail. I will say you should probably use flat shoes or shoes without a lot of tread. This will prolong the life of your bands. There are books out there that provide info on the excersizes and workout schedules on how to use these bands as well. I am going to be trying the P90X workout here soon. Or at least portions of it.
Great product

This is really a great product for people who doesn't have time to go to the gym or want an alternative to it.
The product comes with a bag, so you can carry it when on travel. Also comes with 2 handles, 2 ankle straps, a door clip and a book with set of exercises.

Pros: portable, cand do exercises for all your body, you can use the book as a guide for specific exercises. It also comes with complete routines to loose weight and gain muscle. So far, looks very durable. Very high quality product.

Cons: the clip system decreases the range of motion for some exercises, specially if you are short and are doing exercises that requires you to stand on the tube and bend over. Still, that's a minor issue since you can find equivalent exercises in the book.

Conclusion: Overall, it's well designed and a great quality product. I use it when I don't have time to go to the gym or when I'm travelling. I really recommend it.
Good price, great workout

Reviewer: Super Pump, Enid, OK
I've worked out at home for years with dumbbells but I was really wanting to try something new to break out of a rut. These perfectly fit the bill. They are space efficient, affordable, portable, and high quality. But perhaps best of all, you really can get a very good workout with them.
The resistance is quite light at the beginning of any "lift" (or should I say "stretch") but gets progressively heavier as you proceed to the end of the movement. The net effect of this is you find yourself able to do more reps and more sets than you could with free weights. You end up with completely exhausted muscles and an awesome "pump".

The only thing keeping bodylastics from being a household name is a multi-million dollar TV ad campaign with 40 somethings talking about being in the best shape of their respective lives.

Try them, you'll like them.
Great product

I've been using the Bodylastics for the last month...and i'm loving it. I have problems with my joints and that's why I went from freeweights to the Bodylastics. Much less strain on my joints and still seeing the same results. I would highly recommend this product.
