high quality, ultra heavy duty as described. It will last forever...or close to it. I also found the company very hand's on. They emailed me the day I received it to see if I liked it. I was trilled to find this handle. It is not cheaply made. The foam is comfortable and the stitching of the straps are well made and I doubt will tear. I also found these handles multi purpose. I purchased from Amazon the following: Ignite Fitness Ultra Heavy Duty Elite Exercise Handles (Pair) with Solid ABS Cores, Comfortable Extra Wide Foam Grips, Seamless O Rings - Perfect Resistance Band Handles for Crossfit and Bodybuilding The small hard wood handles of the pulleys were painful after a few minutes so I looped the wooden handles of Ignite handle metal loop over my pulleys and now I have a very comfortable handle to use with my exercise pulleys. I am going to order another set for my resistance bands. Read more
Nice thick padding for hand gripping. Nice solid Handle material. You can tell the ABS plastic is hard and can withstand a lot of pressure. The straps are perfectly thick as well. So this helps with the strap not twisting on the inside of the handles - which is annoying because when this happens, it eventually cuts through the handles and breaks it at the round edges (trust me, I used the Bowflex provided handles with my machine and they cut through the handles because of the straps twisting). I can tell the strap material is high grade nylon. It just feels strong as I'm doing my presses and pulls. The round rings are cool too because I just hook it and go at it. I don't have to worry about the "D-ring" sliding out of position like they always do. Very happy with this purchase & look forward to my workouts now! I could just tell these straps can withstand a high degree of weights and they just feel really comfortable. Read more
These handles are pretty basic, but they are precisely as described and work well. They're a bit larger than I expected, but it's not a bad thing. I use them exclusively for my body weight, but they're sturdy and would do just fine if I used them for more. Yoga straps suspend them from a chin-up bar for doing dips--significantly more challenging than the edge of the coffee table, and not merely because that has my heels on the floor. I considered a TRX-style apparatus but couldn't find one near the price range and also adjustable enough to put the handles high for dips and also low enough for elevated pushups--which I've not yet tried but presume will be equally as augmented challenge-wise.

The grips are relatively well made. Both O-ring welds are a bit sloppy. The weld on one ring is fairly good, but the weld on the other ring is much less substantial. The sewing on the two ends of the webbing where they are joined (it's inside the handles) is very well done. The web ends are sewn with quite heavy thread, and the sewing appears tight enough to ensure that strong friction between the webbing ends is created. However, longer webbing and a redundant x-boxed seam could make the web joinings even better. In use, the Ignite Fitness Stirrup Handles perform great. I am using them for back work on crossover cables with quite a good amount of weight- 160 lbs. per arm/handle. The handles are quite solid and remain firm without any deforming under heavy load. The ABS handles are finished well and thus rotate smoothly on the webbing while in use. In summary, these Ignite Fitness Handles are better than many handles you will find at gyms and fitness studios. I got this pair for myself to use at my local gym, since the ones at my gym have become frayed to the point of concern. These Ignite Handles are better than the OEM Handles that came with my gym's high-end Precor Icarian machines. Read more
We bought these handles to replace the ones that came with our Bowflex Ultimate machine. Not only are these perfect in size, they are much sturdier and should serve us for years. Shipping was fast and the product was delivered as promised. We bought them together with the Ignite Fitness Neoprene Ankle Straps. The combination of Ignite Fitness' handles and ankle straps works much better than the Bowflex multi-function Adjustable Handles, they're cheaper and they look like they will last longer than the ones that came with the machine.

I've been using the original multi-directional handles with my Bowflex and as I went up in weight; the thickness of these started to tweak my wrists. It got to the point where they were still sore a couple days out between workouts. With these handles they actually rotate around when transferring overhead or pulling up. This has eliminated the problem, and the big O rings make it easy to snap on and off the snap hooks between workouts. They are made of thicker materials than the original handles so I suspect they will last for a long time to come. Read more
They're perfect. Just what I was hoping for actually. They feel very durable and fit in my hands quite comfortably. I have other handles with longer straps, so these serve the purpose of being used with my functional training pulley systems or elastic bands. The large rings are nice to be able to add multiple bands without getting bunched up. I can envision many uses for these well-made handles. And the price is remarkably low for such a quality product. Love 'em! Read more
Replaced handles that were hanging on litteraly by a string on a pilates machine. The handles I replaced were so cheap instead of the handle being sturdy it formed around my hand. These are sturdry, well made and when I struggled including shaking to do 10 pulls on my back on the pilates, I easily did 20 as soon I had them connected. Have the right & quality tools to do anything makes all the difference. Glad I spent more to get these. Read more
