Product Packaging/Contents: 5 Quality/Craftsmanship: 5 Functionality for intended purpose: 5 Utility/Versatility: 3 Instructions/Ease-of-Use: 5 Value: 5 Warranty: Amazon’s 30 day Characteristics Rating Scale (1-Poor -> 5 Excellent) LIKES: stitching, resistance, appearance, comfort DISLIKES: not really an issue with the product, but I have a difficult time getting one on with my various ailments Comments: The bands arrived neatly packed inside their own nylon pouch which was placed in an appropriate mil plastic bag. My colors were black, gray and light gray. They include an excellent exercise card with well written descriptions of suggested exercises. The high resistance cloth bands are easier to get on than almost any elastic/rubber resistance band. They are also much more comfortable in use. I have been in physical therapy almost continuously over the last 6 years (hips, knees and shoulder replacements, back fusion and several soft tissue repairs and complications) and have several Fit Simply products for home PT use. I have been impressed with each Fit Simply product to date as they are very comparable to the higher priced company’s products. I purchased these since some of the therapies’ foci have caused me to neglect keeping my hips strong. The bands provide ample resistance for each exercise I perform (even at the lowest band) and do so comfortably. So, I have room to increase resistance as I improve. I am especially impressed with the apparent quality of these bands. They are overlapped and double stitched (see image) in two places. I imagine they will be very durable as a result (I have broken several elastic bands that had deteriorated over time). I’d promise to come back and report on how effective they were, but as this outcome is more effort than product related, I’d be unduly exposing myself to future embarrassment ;-). Conclusion: I can highly recommend these therapy bands. They are well made, comfortable and provide adequate resistance to be beneficial for anyone in need of lower extremity strengthening.

The set come with three bands that are 3 inches thick and 15 inches long when laid flat. It also has a convenient carrying case for travel and a booklet with a few starter exercises that can be used with the bands. I really appreciate that these came in neutral colors because most that I've seen have been really brightly colored. I was a little worried about the length of the bands at first because I'm more on the petite side so I didn't want the bands to fall off my sides. But surprisingly they are still a great fit and don't roll down my thighs or legs like the thinner rubber exercise bands do. They stay where they're supposed to. The bands are great quality, the stitching is solid and they've taken the care to finish the edges where the ends of the band overlap so it's not irritating on the skin when using it. On the side that goes against your legs, there are strips of exposed woven elastic which helps with the grip against your body. I like that you can feel the difference between the tension/strength of the bands from the first use. From light to medium there is a strong noticable difference, and from medium to heavy the difference is there but not as noticeable as between the light and medium from the first stretch. I haven't been regularly using the heavy band in my workouts as yet, but I'm assuming that's where I'd get to feel the effect of the restriction more. Overall these bands are really great quality and I look forward to seeing the results they help me achieve in my workout. (Side note: The manual did not include care instructions so even though the bands are really sturdy, I would advise to not throw them in the washing machine as it could cause damage to the elastic in the bands. Spot cleaning would probably be the best care for them.) Read more

This is my first set of personal resistance bands and I must say I prefer these over the rubber ones at the gym. The first thing I noticed was the quality of the construction. They are stitched twice at the ends for reinforcement. The likelihood of these snapping and breaking during usage is slim to none, even after a long period of usage. These don't slide around or roll up like rubber resistance bands either. Put them where you want them and they stay. I like that they come in neutral colors as I have no interest in drawing attention to my weight loss struggles at the gym. Nothing says, "Look at me!", faster than an obnoxiously colored band around your thighs... The width and fabric of the band is MUCH more comfortable than rubber rope-like resistance bands, especially if you work out in shorts and they actually touch your skin. The bands have superior resilience and this pack of three allows for a gradual increase in resistance as one's strength improves. Traveling with these is easy because they are lightweight and their carrying pouch fits easily into a small space inside my suitcase. I expect to use these for a long time. ALICIA APPROVED. Read more
