I’ve never used this type of workout system before, depending instead on the weight machines at the gym, so it’s taking a bit of time to develop an equivalent workout regimen. And there are exercises that aren’t available (or that I can’t come up with that are equivalents to the gym weight machines) that I’m used to, so I’m missing some of my lower body workouts (e.g. leg extensions). Also I’m not sure how the weights ascribed to the bands are calculated – the more they stretch the more effort is required. Which is actually fine, because of the linear variable resistance you don’t get to slack off at the apex of the exercise!Pros: The hand grips are good, the leg harnesses are comfortable, the door anchor is secure. The loop bands seem fine although they’re a bit loose. I noticed that one of the other brands advertised on Amazon had workout bands only in 10 pound increments, but the 5 pound band in this set is important for me to be able to increase the weight without overwhelming my ability.Cons: The carabiners are small, and one is already having trouble aligning with the notch. Four of the five bands have weights stitched on (5lbs, 20lbs etc) but one is missing any identification. Also, there are numerous inconsistencies between the pictures and the text in the downloadable eBook of exercises. It’s not a deal-breaker, but a little proof-reading might be nice.Overall, after about 3 months of every-other-day use. I would recommend this as a stay-at-home alternative to the gym.

I was excited to start my osteoporosis workouts with this set but am sadly disappointed to find most of the hooks in really bad condition. 👎

I recently ordered these as a replacement for an older set. I had actually ordered a slightly "less expensive" set before ordering these bands. They seemed identical, but the material on that other set was cheap, there was no resistance in the tubes, and I ended up wasting my time having to return them and wait to order this set. These bands, however, have been great so far, the material on the tubes has provided the resistance for which I was looking, and I've used them every day since receiving for pushing and pulling movements to supplement the lack of barbells and dumbbells during social distancing.The small details are appreciated as well.Each of the tubes are permanently affixed with a tag that displays the equivalent weight for the resistance (not just some label applied to the tube which will wear off), there are a few nice accessories such as straps which you can use for non standard tricep/bicep pulling/pushing movements, and the handles were a nice surprise as well. The handles allow themselves to rotate so that you can maintain a proper grip on the handles without readjusting, and they are just slightly flared our on each end so that the strap never makes contact with your hand when using...which is something I didn't realize would make such a big improvement over my older set!Happy biceps, triceps, and upper back muscles!

Update:Adding a star given the near-instantaneous response to my original tepid review. I appreciate a company that stands behind its products.I have indeed decided to replace this set with a sturdier, more expensive one from a different manufacturer, but many people might consider this package to be the better value. It just wasn't the right choice for me.Original review:I have really mixed feelings about this set. It’s an excellent assortment of “stuff”, and most of it appears to be of good quality for the price. (The thinnest tube arrived with some surface imperfections, and feels as though I might get at best one year’s use out of it.)The snap hooks, however, are another story. They’re poorly finished, and several arrived very badly corroded. I currently swap the handles between three tubes, thus I have to use those hooks often, and it’s irritating every time I touch them.Rather than replacing all the hardware with S-Biners, I’m considering sending this whole package back, and spending more money on an exercise set with higher quality control.
