P90X is undoubtedly one of the most popular fitness programs on the market today. With over 2 million users, a charismatic developer, and a great reputation for helping people get in shape and stay there you would think that any products allowed to carry the P90X brand name would be top quality. Unfortunately this doesn’t hold true here. While the P90X Resistance Bands Workout Kit from Beachbody is not the worst set on the market, they are far from the best and over priced for what you get.
The set includes :
3 Fitness Bands of varying tension (15, 20, and 30 pounds)
2 Comfort Grip Handles
That’s it. For almost $50.00.
Yes, the bands are of decent quality, but there is only 3 of them. 3 resistance bands and 2 handles which means that you will be switching handles from one band to another quite often if you need to use all 3 tension levels during your workout.
Also:
NO ankle straps
NO door anchor
NO workout charts or DVDs
NO carry bag
So you are paying for $22 worth of bands and $23 for the P90X trademark. There are many resistance band sets that offer much more than the P90X Resistance Bands Workout Kit, and those sets will work just as well with P90X as the “official” ones. If you are looking to buy resistance bands to use with P90X, then pass these by and buy a more complete set from Bodylastics or SPRI.
