PROTONE resistance bands set - 5 x exercise tube set with handles, door anchor, ankle straps and carry bag for home fitness/travel fitness/strength/men and women

Delivery: Quick and easy. Was delivered in a box too large to be put through the letter boxItem: The purpose of these items for me was to replace my broken set of dumbells which was taking a large amount of space in my room. I read many reviews on the concept of these and was always sceptical. Now having them and using them on a daily basis, I can happily say that they are indeed a true replacement for the dumbells.They work as hard as you work, meaning if you pull (or push) harder then you get more out of it.It comes with 5 strengths, all of which are good. I found that for my hight (6'2"/188cm) they worked really well at pushing me to a sweat.The handles are very strong and easy to move around between ropes. The door holders are equally easy to use and found that they did not leave a mark unlike others that I have mentioned.I personally found that the first three strengths are not challanging. Doing 50 reps with 20kg dumbells, I can really push hardest with the last 2 strengths.I have found that thus far, they are very durable and most important for me, take up a very small space in the carry case.Overall a brilliant item and do not regret buying this item.

My partner and I wanted to cut the time for going to the gym and be able to work out at anytime really which was an issue as there was no 24/7 gym around us at the time. Plus we are both very sensitive when it comes to going out warmed up after a work out when the weather isn't nice, it leads to developing a cough and sore throat very often. So we have purchased these bands to complement a few more gym items at home and switched the gym membership that went out of our accounts every month to the comfortable environment of our living room. Same results, better timing, no further costs and most importantly no threat to get ill after.The bands are suitable for beginners and advanced as you can choose the level of resistance accordingly as well as they are quite durable so you will definitely make the most of your investment.

I ordered this recently for my workouts as I wanted to train in a way that's easier on the joints.Dispatch and delivery was prompt using Royal Mail 48h tracked.My initial view is that the tubes are ok. I'll update this review based on usage over time.The protective sleeve is a good idea. They hardly take up any space and are ideal if you don't have space for free weights. Be mindful that for the door anchor you need to be on the opposite side of the direction of the door opening.Pro tip: if you want to change resistance quickly for drop sets etc, just add all of the desired tubes at once into the sleeve and keep connecting/disconnecting them from the handle metal loop as needed.Resistance levels:I think the listing should include the range of resistance. They are as follows -Black - 9kg (min stretch) - 18kg (max stretch)Green - 5.9kg (min stretch) - 17.2kg (max stretch)Red - 3.6kg (min stretch) - 15.9kg (max stretch)Blue - 2.3kg (min stretch) - 13.6kg (max stretch)Yellow - 1.4kg (min stretch) - 11.8kg (max stretch)The areas of improvement:1. The bag - This could definitely be of much better quality than the one provided. The current one feels very thin plastic-like and it isn't the kind of drawstring that you can put around your shoulder. I currently have a set of resistance bands from Bramble and perhaps I'm being too harsh by comparing the two.2. The ankle strap attachment: There were no exercises in the booklet I received that required the use of the ankle strap. Additionally the booklet specificies that we only use the door anchor in the way it's shown i.e. door anchor being on the top.Given that the tubes can only be stretched to 1.5 times their original length, it might be pretty challenging to do exercises using the ankle strap without putting yourself in an awkward position or without using the door anchor at the bottom/side of the door.Stretch:Strictly personal preference but it's kinda difficult to eyeball if I'm stretching the band to 1.5 times its original length while exercising. It's ok if I'm doing exercises standing on them such as bicep curls etc but difficult when doing chest flyers,rows, etc. If there was a visual cue like a marking or warning text hat becomes visible when being stretched, it'll be really helpful to let these last long and avoid injury from snapping.Overall a decent bit of kit for the price.
