Review – MUSCLE & FITNESS Strength Bands System by Bodylastics

The Muscle & Fitness Strength Bands System by Bodylastics is the ultimate resistance bands set. It has everything you need to do a complete head to toe workout no matter what strength or fitness level you are currently at. If you are looking for something that will give you EVERYTHING you could possibly need to get in shape all in one box, this is it.

What’s in the box:
12 Resistance bands (2 each of ranges from 7 pounds to 30 pounds)
2 Door Anchors
4 Foam Covered Handles
4 Heavy Duty Ankle Straps
User Book
Training DVD
Lifetime Membership to Bodylastics Web Site which includes DAILY workout show
Heavy Duty Carry Bag

The great thing about the MUSCLE & FITNESS Strength Bands System by Bodylastics is that you are basically getting two full sets of resistance bands. If you looking to buy fitness bands for use by you and a partner, then this is the set to get. If your wife or husband goes away on a trip, they can take a full half of the set with them and you will still have a complete set of exercise gear at home with you! There is enough here for 2 people to do P90X at the same time, even if they are at identical fitness levels! Some sets will work with couples as long as one of them is considerably weaker or stronger but this set will work with ANY couple.

Of course these are not cheap bands either, these are continuous dipped bands that are strong and durable and will stand up to just about whatever you can throw at them. The foam covered handles that come on these resistance bands are tough and comfortable. As expected, you can attach multiple bands to the handles allowing you to adjust the tension level to just about anything you could want. If this set isn’t enough for you, then you are obviously an olympic bodybuilder or athlete already!

Resistance bands are light and portable, and this set is no exception. The entire MUSCLE & FITNESS Strength Bands System by Bodylastics can be tucked away in the corner of a closet out of the way and can easily be brought out and used in seconds. You don’t have to drag around some heavy machine or adjust tensioners or weights in between workouts, just grab the bands and go.

Review – Bodylastics TERRELL OWENS SUPER STRONG MAN Heavy Duty Resistance Bands System with User Book

I trust the Bodylastics brand, they put out good stuff and it is usually a good bargain. So I was a bit shocked to see the price tag on the TERRELL OWENS SUPER STRONG MAN Heavy Duty Resistance Bands System with User Book. It seemed out of place for Bodylastics to try and jack up the set to almost $100 just using T.O.s name. However I should have known to trust Bodylastics to put out a good product.

So let’s have a look at what comes in the box:

1 continuous dipped yellow band (5 lbs.)
1 continuous dipped green band (7 lbs.)
1 continuous dipped red band (13 lbs.)
1 continuous dipped blue band (19 lbs.)
1 continuous dipped black band (23 lbs.)
2 continuous dipped orange bands (30 lbs.)
4 extra wide heavy duty foam covered handles
4 heavy duty ankle straps
2 heavy duty door anchors
1 Bodylastics User Book (76 pages)
1 Lifetime certificate with login information for the online learning center
1 upgraded Heavy Duty gym bag
Lifetime Warranty

We have bodylastics fitness bands, which are continuous dipped for strength and durability. We have 2 door anchors, enough straps and handles for two people to use the set at the same time, and a heavy duty gym bag. So far so good, but is it really worth close to $100?

The gym bag is really nice, seems strong and sturdy. More than enough to carry around a set of resistance bands.

The thing that makes paying the price for the TERRELL OWENS SUPER STRONG MAN Heavy Duty Resistance Bands System with User Book set is the Lifetime Warranty and the Lifetime certificate to the online learning center. Your resistance bands are guaranteed for life, so if one snaps or a handle breaks send it back for a free replacement. The online learning center gives you a ton of demo exercises and workout routines in addition to general fitness advice. Some places would try to charge you a monthly fee for the stuff you get in the learning center, but Bodylastics just says “here, it’s yours forever”. That’s very sweet of them.

The fitness bands themselves are of course the same high quality bands you get in other Bodylastics sets, there are just more of them and a wider variety. You can attach all 7 of these bands together on two handles thanks to the carabiner hooks giving you a whopping 254 pounds of resistance! The handles are large and comfy and the ankle straps are, well, they’re ankle straps.

In addition to all the other stuff up there you get the 76 page User Book which is made obsolete more or less by the online learning center, but books are always a nice addition to any set. Sometimes you don’t have web access and need to look up some exercises so having the book handy is great. Of course you will probably stick the book in a drawer and won’t be able to find it 3 months from now but that’s your problem, not mine.

The Bodylastics TERRELL OWENS SUPER STRONG MAN Heavy Duty Resistance Bands System with User Book is not a rip off. You get your money’s worth out of this set. However if the price is a bit much for you to swallow, then you can buy the other Bodylastics sets and get almost as much as you do in this one. If you are not the type of person who needs so many handles and straps, and you don’t find the online learning center that big of a deal, then save some money and go get the cheaper sets.

Review – Ultimate Resistance Bands Fitness Set from Aylio

Many people looking to buy resistance bands do so by purchasing a full set. Many of these sets are targeted at either beginners or advanced exercisers. It can be hard to find a set that bridges the gap between a new exerciser who only needs the lighter tension fitness bands and an experienced exerciser looking for something more of a challenge. Fortunately the Ultimate Resistance Bands Fitness Set from Aylio helps to bridge that gap.

Check out this list of stuff included with the set:
1 Ultra Light Strength Blue Tube
1 Light Strength Red Tube
1 Medium Strength Yellow Tube
2 Heavy Strength Black Tubes
2 Ultra Heavy Strength Orange Tubes
2 Pairs of Handles
2 Pairs of Ankle Straps
2 Door Attachments
1 Instruction Workout Manual
1 Instructional Training DVD
*Free Aylio Pouch

As you can see, this resistance tube set includes a LOT of stuff. You have the light fitness bands for people just getting started and you have all the way up to the Ultra Heavy fitness bands for the person building strength and bulk. You get a whopping 7 resistance bands in one set, enough for two people to work out at the same time using the same set! In fact the set was designed to be used by couples thanks to the 2 pairs of ankle straps AND 2 door anchors. Save money by buying one set and having two people use it at the same time!

The handles for this set (which comes with four) are of the clip variety. This means that you can attach two or more resistance bands to the same handle. You don’t have to hold two sets of handles in your hand to work out with two tubes combined. Anyone who has used the cheaper bands that have the handles permanently attached to the band know how frustrating and uncomfortable that can be. The ankle straps use the same system, so when you are working out your legs and want to use multiple bands you can do so with ease.

If this set only included the ton of hardware already listed it would justify the fact that it is about 10 dollars more than the similar Bodylastics system, but there is still more stuff in the box. You also get an full color instructional book AND a workout DVD. Exercises that use fitness bands can be a bit tricky to explain just using words, so having these two companion guides that demonstrate the hundreds of available exercises is a big plus.

Finally, there is also the Aylio pouch that comes with this set so you can dump everything into the pouch and take the set with you so have no excuse not to work out while you are on vacation or on a business trip. This is why resistance bands are THE best exercise option on the market, they can be taken and used anywhere, and if there is a door you can hook onto then you can do even more.

The only downside to this system is the stitching on the handles. Some earlier shipped sets had some problems with the handles not holding up well (though Aylio will replace defective handles). Our review set did not have any problems, and the resistance bands themselves were of good quality and did not have any scarring or tearing after a few days of intense use.

The Ultimate Resistance Bands Fitness Set from Aylio is a great bargain. There is enough equipment for two people to use it at the same time (if one of them is a beginner) and there are enough of the tougher bands that someone doing P90X will be happy. This set blows away the “official” P90X resistance band set.
