I have used this product for over a year now, and have recommended it to many of my exercize-phobic friends.I purchased it to supplement my regimen on days when weather prohibits swimming in my pool, which is only about 60 days per year. I enjoyed them so much I now use them and some dumbells every night in addition to the swimming. It is interesting how the bands and the dumbells provide a different workout doing the same exercizes. I like alternating both.The best feature in my opinion is the instructional DVD. The instructor clearly demonstrates the correct way to use the bands. It really helps. Also, the chart that comes with the kit is easy to understand, but nothing beats the DVD. After awhile, of course, you don't need it.The blue band snapped after about six months. I called GoFit and they promptly sent a free replacement which has lasted.Bottom-line: after a year of faithful use I can honestly say I am stronger and look better. What more can you ask for?

Great product that has replaced me an entire gym while at the grad school. A classmate told me about it, and I've been hooked on it since two years ago (finishing school in two weeks). Now, I travel with it internationally and locally, and have not been to my big-time university gym in a year - no need if you have this. One of my most favorite Amazon purchases.

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.

This is a handy, well designed item. I was surprised by the quality of the the exercises that are demonstrated on the DVD. They focus on strengthening the core. I had just finished a course of PT for a back issue and these exercises were consistent with those prescribed by my physical therapist.My only quibble may have more to do with my own impatience, and has nothing to do with the quality of the product, but applies to the use of bands in general. Each time you want to change the height of the bands you have to unthread the bands from the strap that holds them in place behind the door, open the door and move the door strap, and rethread the bands. As I speak I wonder how anybody who's too lazy to do that can get teh motivation to exercise at all.

Very easy to use anywhere. On a door that opens in, just put the little part covered with the woven nylon and is the size of a spool of thread inside the door jam and pull the door closed. The spool has a sturdy woven nylon strap that comes out between the door and the jam to adjust to the height of the exercises whether shoulder high or ankle high. The other end is sewn like the end of a woven nylon dog leash where you hold it in your hand and colored bands just slide through. All of the handles are made of the same woven nylon and connect to the colored exercise bands. I do not use a closet door or door handle because they open out. A bedroom door or bathroom door will not have any extra stress when you use the spool in the jam and no damage will occur to the finish on your door.
