Black Mountain Products Single Resistance Band - Door Anchor and Starter Guide Included

I just don't have the space to store dumbbells/weights, so resistance bands were a good alternative for me. I found this item easy to store and very easy to bring to the office or on vacation. The handles are cushioned, so workouts are easy on the hands. The actual resistance band is well made and still looks like new (even after becoming part of my routine for several weeks). I am amazed at what you can do with just a single resistance band, the product comes with an instruction booklet showing some exercises, but there are many more exercises posted on the internet, and you could also get creative and make your own workout.I do have one gripe, the resistance band should have been clipped on to the handle, instead of permanently attached, this would have allowed for easy attachment of greater resistance (more bands) for when a person is ready for more.I purchased this resistance band to help tone up my arms and can happily say, I am seeing results.-In Short-Pros:Easy to store and carry aroundCushioned handlesDurable/well made resistance bandProvides an excellent, varied workoutCons:Cannot clip on more bands to the handle to increase resistance*Please click "Yes" if you found this review helpful. It would be appreciated. Thank you.

One of the main reasons why I ordered this product was because it was elligible for Amazon Prime and it had good reviews. When the product was delivered it came in a small rectangle box and inside the box was the resistance band and the door anchor with a note from the company as well as a mini instruction book. I usually buy products from sellers who have a good customer service reputation and I read from several reviews that this company had good service so that was another reason why I bought this product. Anyways, I bought this product so I could use it for shoulder workouts, they provided a small book with workouts that you could do. I've been using the resistance band for a day and you could easily tell that these bands are made with good material and are not cheap :). I am a 5'6 female and I weigh 120 lb. so I don't really have any problems with it going too far or being too long for me to use but I thought the door anchor could have been made with a better material. That didn't really matter to me because it is still effective, though I am planning on buying a separate door anchor just to be safe! Overall this product is good and I am planning on updating this review after a month of use.

I bought this to get back into working out. I was struggling to find time getting to the gym and I didn't see a point in investing in an elaborate work out machine or getting multiple weights to lift with. After doing some research I decided to try this out. First off, I like that it is light weight. I have taken this on one trip so far and it fit super easily in my luggage without any extra weight. Second I liked how versatile this band is especially with the door weight. So basically, the product comes with an attachable door anchor which allows you to be able to do a variety of work outs such as pec flies or rotator cuff exercises. I found that the anchor was sturdy and I didn't have much trouble with it. The band itself has seemed pretty sturdy along with the handles. I've gotten some good use out of this band and have had no troubles with it. I feel that I can get in a decent work out when I can't make it to the gym.

As with the other 1 star review, I also received no door anchor nor the starting guide. Not that one really needs the guide. I wrote the company back and asked for them to rectify the issue. Will adjust star rating if they fix the issue. Otherwise, I really like their products.Edit: Email regarding lack of door anchor was responded to within 24-hours and shipped immediately. Great response time. Bumped up to 4 stars now that the issue was resolved.

I purchased the orange resistance band, and am satisfied with my purchase. I am a 19 year old male, about 5' 10", 155 lbs. The orange resistance band is a great band for male starters, I believe. After a couple days using the band, however, I believe that I could have used a band one or two resistance weights higher. If you consider yourself a stronger male, I would go perhaps one weight above the orange band.As for the band itself, it is very handy. It is portable, so you can take your workout anywhere. I have had no structural problems with the band, as it looks well made. The band comes with an instructional booklet, so you can test out different exercises. I love using the band, because you can get the same workout as a weight bench from just a single resistance band. The attachment for the door is also handy, allowing you to do pull downs, rows, presses, and even squats. After a couple weeks of use, the band shows no signs of wear, despite stretching it to full capacity.Note: if you are looking for simple stretching for sports warm-ups, you may want to take a look at a lighter band.

I ordered this band in the green weight which is medium. Usually, I am worried about the resistance being too much or too little from the description but this band was right on. approx. 10 lbs. I love this for travel- I have it packed in my duffel for a weekend trip right now. It is super compact and easy to pack. The actuall rubber part is good quality. I've use some of these from target and they seem like they will snap, but this is sturdy. As for the use... The handles have a really easy grip. One of my favorite things was the door attachment piece that it comes with. You can wedge the attached in a door frame to use as a pull resistance. I never would have thought of that.The booklet it came with was really helpful for some tips on how to use your band. I want to use it for leg/abdominal exercise. I found a TON of great workouts on pinterest. I would 100% recommend this to anyone, especially if they are on the go or travel and need a little toning in between, It's a great alternative for buying heavy weights.I'll probably come back and purchase the other colors soon!

Realy good

Me voy a poner bien pinshi fitness con estas madres, hasta instructivo de ejercicios traen.

This is a great buy. I am now conider Black Mountain Products a trusted brand. This band make it easier to train as you don't have to combine weaker bands to achieve the high level of resistance provided by this band. This increase in range makes it ideal for anyone from beginners and experts. These are ultra durable resistance bands and are apparently made from the highest quality rubber.The band features a metal clipping system on the bands for attachment to two cushion foam handles. The door anchor is sturdy and its uses are only limited by your imagination. The exercise guide was welcome and useful. My favourite exercise with those is a simple simultaneous biceps curl. It gets really hard, especially if you are tall. Came with the manufacturer's lifetime warranty.

I got this to do some moderate/easy exercises on non-training days. The black feels too easy for me (and I'm not particularly strong… yet) but the idea is not to replace heavy weights, just get some movement and a small pump. I've been doing exercises spotted on Mind Pump MAPS Anabolic trigger sessions on YouTube even though I'm not running that program at the moment. The rubber gets dirty when I walk on it for biceps curls.

These are some of the best elastics I have used. The handles are best for exercises where you're stretching it to the max (I think the elastic stretches safely up to 4x its length which is amazing.) But you can grip the elastic closer and do even more moves, this allows you to play with how resistant it is and over what length is needs to be to reach said resistance.As you can see in the picture, mine stays hung for exercises and I take it out to do some shoulder mobility too.Pros: Well made. Good company, good elastic.Cons: Mine is black, but as you can see dirty and dust collects on it very easily. I can't keep mine black if I leave it out. Not really a big issue, most elastics are like this.

Love the band's expect the descriptions are confusing. I got the blue black and yellow. Yellow is twice as think as the blue. The blue provides barely and resistance. Black is kind of in between. Just make sure you order the right resistance. Otherwise great products.

The reason I give it 3 stars is only because the handle broke in my face while training hard, so I got hurt, I always had great trust in the Black Mountain products, now I train with always a little tough in my mind.. will I get hurt again ?? i hope i won'tThe pros!! yes, there is!!!Black Mountain warranty service is really awesome! they replaced it in less than a week!!

I purchased this product as recommended by a physio to work on sore shoulder. It's a good medium resistance, which means i can use it for a long time. I particularly wanted handles as I have finger arthritis. Very comfortable padded handles. Band is just the right length. Perfect.

A product that has great utility for the price. I highly recommend opting for the one with the most resistance.One small "issue" was that the foam handle portion at both ends came with marks and indentations that did not correct themselves, as a cheap foam was used that doesn't have any "memory" to it. This was probably an issue with the packaging, but also highlights the quality of the foam for those concerned. This obviously has no impact on utility (only aesthetics), and for the cost, you cannot go wrong with this product.I also found it very useful for it to come with a small booklet of exercises that can be performed with it. Thanks for a good product, guys!

Just after I had ordered the red resistance band, I started to have reservations, thinking that perhaps I had chosen the model with too much resistance (25 - 30lbs). However, when I received it, I discovered that it was the perfect one for me - I am so happy with it! I was very impressed with the quality and the enclosed literature left me feeling that I had made the right.

Excelente acabado y materiales. Honestamente está liga la sentí cómoda desde el punto de la resistencia que ejerce para realizar los movimientos de los ejercicios. Apenas ideal si vas a comenzar a hacer ejercicios con ligas o bandas de resistencia. Las amarillas son bastante pesadas para un principianteiante

The atomic band now completes my full set of BMP resistance bands. At 70-75 pounds you really feel the effect. Great workout! These bands are all of high-quality and great value for the money spent. I am totally satisfied with this purchase. Thank you BMP!

Excelente producto, pero muy pesado. Yo trabajo con ligas y previamente compré uno rojo de resistencia "mediano" de la marca Valeo, sin embargo como no muestra las lb que tienen de resistencia y yo buscaba una más pesada opte por la morada de esta marca. Es muy buen producto, grueso y resistente, pero ojo , MUY PESADO!

great for working out at home (assuming you work out at the gym), i use this mostly as a way to stretch my muscles on rest days. they are a bit weak for me but enough for rest days. i am fairly built form and do frequent the gym on daily basis. would recommend.no breaking of tearing what so ever, importantly, it can handle stretching hard.

This is my first set of resistance bands and I quite like them. I would rather work with these than weights due to space and moving from room to room, and I like that these can be added to stretching routines. I do agree with another reviewer that the foam handles are a big on the weaker side, but the bands themselves are effective.
