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.

These bands are decent. The first time I used them, the yellow one popped out of the handle. I tried to see about exchanging just the yellow one, but was told I would have to send in the whole set for a refund, and then order a new set. That would take too long and I’m in a workout program where I need them pretty much daily. I’ve used them for a while since and have had no problems, but on maneuvers where I am stretching it a long way, I don’t use the handle, I just grab the band right below where it meets the handle. They give a decent workout and are a much cheaper alternative to buying a huge set of dumbells.

I can’t recommend these bands. The yellow band broke the first time I used it. Not the band itself. The clasps at the ends are poorly attached. The band is sandwiched at the ends between a stitched piece of fabric. As soon as the stitches come loose, the end falls off. In the bag is a disclaimer. If you pull too hard on these bands, they may break. What’s too hard? I bought these for the P90x workout. They didn’t hold up. I agree with other reviewers that the tension is too light as well.
Added Note: Shortly, after I wrote this review the company contacted me and really wanted to make me happy. I think they’re customer service is great. Unfortunately it doesn’t make the bands work better. Hopefully they’ll redesign.

I had an end come out of one of the bands and the customer support was quick to reply to my email and had another band in a week. The bands work great.

I bought these bands and they are just okay. Supposedly they give you up to 50 pounds of resistance when used together. I was able to do a bicep curl with all of them, and believe me, I’m no body builder. The bands seem more fitted for women who want to tone and lose weight. I don’t want to be muscular but lean and well built. These bands did not offer the type of resistance I was hoping for. I am now with Bodylastics bands, which are the best. Hope I was helpful!

A note about operation of the ankle straps: you have to open them up and turn them so the scratchy Velcro is on the outside away from your skin…place the ring where you want it, wrap the remaining strap around your leg and then thread the strap through the ring and pull snug before securing the Velcro.
This way it will stay on no matter what weight you use. I promise…I use A LOT of weight for leg training.
I have been involved in health and fitness for over 20 years as a Body Builder, Body Sculptor, Trainer, Therapist, Coach and many other positions in the field. I am currently the Director of Personal Success Now.
I bought this to check it out – to determine if it was a good option for some of my clients who do not want to go to the gym. I also travel and wanted some way to ensure I would have the ability to work out anywhere.
Finally, no more work outs with a towel for resistance!!
This little gym in a bag is great. It comes in a small bag and is very light. It comes with a poster or book demonstrating possible workouts and it comes with a DVD (or CD) that describes and demonstrates workout possibilities. You can play this CD as a “trainer” or view the exercises singly.
The DVD has in a very good core performance, functional workout and some excellent information on nutrition. (The CD features Trainer and Fitness Model Linda Leene, and describes and demonstrates workout possibilities. You can play this CD as a “trainer” or view the exercises singly)
You get the aforementioned ankle straps, handles, and a door anchor. You also get a 5, 10, and 15 pound cable. The weight range is 5 to 30 pounds in 5-pound increments by combining the cables. The handles are comfortable and the cables hook and unhook very easily.
The possible weight/cable combinations look like this:
5 / 10 / 15 / 20=15+5 / 25=15+10 / 30=15+10+5
Additional cables are only $4 from the company…note: if you need more weight, you only need to get another heavy cable…because you can create any combination up to 45 pounds in 5 pound increments with only the 1 additional cable.
Combinations from 35 to 45 pounds look like this:
35=15+15+5 / 40=15+15+10 / 45=15+15+10+5
Every time you need more weight, you only need another 15-pound cable.
The weights discussed above represent the resistance for each hand. So, doing curls with the heavy cable is like curling 15 pounds in each hand.
I highly recommend this as an at-home and on the go training tool!
For safety – Always check your cables for wear before working out. Always make sure the door anchor is secure in the door and the door is closed and LOCKED before training with the door anchor. Always warm up before your workout. Always warm down and do flexibility movements after your workout.
There are down-loadable sheets for “tone and shape” and for “muscle and strength” 12-week workouts.

Eat right for you. Take your vitamin. Get enough sleep. Drink your water. Avoid artificial- colors, flavors, and preservatives in your diet. Laugh often…and live well!
One final note to update this review – in 5 months of using the ProGym, I have lost 10 pounds of fat and gained over 20 pounds of muscle.
Wishing you Personal Success Now!

I ordered this product to add more variety and challenge to my toning workouts. Fitness bands are particularly great for women, who may want to gain muscle strength without bulking up. This product comes with three fitness bands of varying resistance. I was pretty surprised how hard some of the exercises were even with the lightest resistance band–but they all felt good and gave me a challenge. I really loved the accessories the bands came with–a door strap and ankle straps. With the door strap you put it in the door frame and close the door, then loop the band through it. If you put the door strap at the top of the door or at shoulder level, there are many excellent shoulder exercises you can do. You can also put it lower in the door frame to do exercises sitting, or lying down. If you exchange the handles for the ankle straps, you can work your leg muscles, also using the door strap.
The only thing I didn’t really like was the DVD. It was definitely helpful the first time I used the bands–showing a variety of exercises and correct form for each one. But, you can’t really use it from start to finish for your workout. The instructor only demonstrates how to do the exercises–she doesn’t lead you through doing them on each side of the body, etc, for a full workout. Also, you frequently have to change to and from the door strap and ankle straps, which takes about 30 seconds, so you have to pause the DVD between most exercises, which is kind of annoying after a few times. Luckily, the kit also comes with a poster that shows all of the exercises and explains good form on each, so that is helpful for everyday use.
This is a great kit for travelers. You can just bring the one resistance band you’re using at the moment, the accessories, and the poster, if you need it.

My job takes me away from home a lot, often to fairly remote areas with no gym facilities. I decided to try resistance tubing, and this set looked to be the most bang for the buck. At first, I found the action of the tubing a little awkward: for folks used to free weights or weight-stack machines, it will take a while to grow accustomed to resistance tubing. (I suspect using a machine such as a Bowflex might require much the same adjustment interval.) I wondered how effective tubing could really be, since it has relatively light resistance at the beginning of a movement, with max resistance at the “top” of a movement. However, after being away from home for two weeks, I found that using the ProGym had at the very least maintained my fitness. In the case of bicep curls and tricep extensions, my strength actually increased. Note also that you can do exercises with this equipment that can’t be done with free weights or stack machines, especially core exercises. For travelers, or folks wanting an inexpensive home gym setup, I heartily recommend the ProGym, perhaps augmented with a set or two of dumbbells.

The bands, the case and the DVD are great for people who travel or who want some simple equipment for an at-home work out. The DVD is done well – clear, simple instructions for a total body work out.
This is a creative opportunity. I found I didn’t need the door thingie. Door knobs and hinges served may purposes. It’s a greaat challange to create moves using the tubes. I love it. An alternative to free weights and machines is always welcome.

The quality of this item is very poor. The clasps on the end of the bands are made from plastic and break very easily. They should be made of metal for durability. Mine even arrived damaged. I cannot see how the clasps would last very long with normal wear.
