I wasn't sure to begin with but now I love them.
I'm really pleased with these. But its taken me around 3 weeks to really get comfortable with them.Other reviews are right, all 5 tubes feel like they have the same resistance (though my 9 yo son disagrees) and initially they don't feel like they have much resistance to them. There are no instructions, and looking at them they don't look that safe. You'll quickly clip all 5 together and use them as if they were a single tube, and that's a bit fiddly with 5 bands spilling about. One of my clips is a little out of shape out of the box and it is hard to get the band off and on with. The set did come with a door anchor, and also two velcro ankle/wrist straps which I haven't used. Thats the negatives out if the wayIts taken me some time to get the confidence with them that they won't snap. Now I can pull them tight and then take 2 or 3 steps backwards to really tighten the bands. They work best at the biggest stretch you can give them and in all honesty it takes a bit of bravery to trust them. Now, with them attached to a door frame, I can lean backwards as if I were sitting in a chair with them taking my bodyweight so I can perform a standing/seated row.It's also easy to change the resistance and length by stepping on them. Like anything it takes a few sessions to get the excercise right, but soon you'll learn you can bicep curl both arms with one foot in the middle, move your foot to 2/3 along the tube then you can move straight to a shoulder press, but only one arm at a time...you'll get to quickly alternate between exercises with the minimum of hassle.I spent some time on youtube (particularly anabolic aliens 5 minute resistance tube workouts) , Pinterest has loads of workout sheets and I also researched individual exercises (I couldn't work out how to do a lat pull down as the tubes were too long) - and it all slowly came together.It's not the same as lifting weights. I'm not pretending it is. But I believe these will help reduce losing muscle mass, and as you'll generally be performing higher sets and reps (because the resistance is like a lower weight) it's got a cardio element to it as well to, hopefully, help take the edge off that lockdown weight gain.

Cheap, cheerful and does the job
Couple of things I would like to address here- These bands definitely have different resistance levels anyone who disagrees can try Side Shoulder Raises by hooking up Red and Yellow and then trying it with Black Green or Blue and you will know the difference, maybe people arent stretching it enough for the resistance to properly kick in.Yes it doesnt come with instructions but so doesnt dumbbells either but I will tell you a secret their are loads of workout videos on well known website.Yes these are the same Chinese product being sold on a certain bidding website and you will find loads of variants with different hooks but essentially the same product.Yes the pictures make it look like a top end product but so does the Big Mac on Mcdonalds menu but I dont see people complaining about it.For what it is and the price it is an amazing product and will be useful for anyone especially considering the alternative which is buying Dumbbells which you will need a mortgage for these days.

Arrived on time and seem ok.
Puzzled by some of the reviews but to be honest every resistance band seller seems to get the same. I think all the bands are being imported from probably China. Anyway I ordered mine after ordering some from another seller and after the order was shipped being told it was 2 months for delivery! These turned up on time thankfully within 4 days. Yes there are no instructions but come on, there's a million YouTube videos out there on how to use and there are plenty of pictures showing which colour gives you which resistance. The bands seem decent quality and there is plenty of resistance in mine. I'm using the black and blue together or black on its own depending on which workout I'm doing. Maybe I've got lucky and time will only tell on quality but they're doing a job for me.

Not the best
Upon receiving my product it was quite underwhelming the strength of the bands. I was quite desperate in getting some because I have lost a significant amount of weight due to all gyms closing and a dramatic decrease in strength training. You will have to be a little creative to maximise resistance in mimicking movements at the gym. An example for me is for some movements I will have to grab all the bands whilst they’re connected to the foam handle to get more resistance. As well as this there is 0 instructions on how to use I had to refer back to this page to look at the pictures. The company seems they don’t care about valuing their customers just basically saying here have it. Overall is not bad product but I wouldn’t recommend this particular set to friends. Wish I spent a bit more time searching Amazon before buying this.

Great for home workouts
I was worried at first when ordering this as I didn’t know if it came with a door anchor or not however it was delivered faster than expected and did in fact come with the door anchor.It has made a great difference to change up my home workouts during the coronavirus pandemic. Hopefully they last for a while with the heavy use.

Good Set but carabiners are weak
Really good set for the price and arrived fairly quickly! Great that is has handles door anchor etc and comes in a bag that you can store them away in.However when using more than one band for to increase the resistance the green band carabiner both end has broken. They still hold but don't spring back. Probably cheaply made. They can be replaced pretty easily with your own ones which may not break as easily.

Neat little gym in a bag
To be honest the clips look a bit flimsy but actually they aren’t.No visual weight representation on any of them but it’s not caused any issue so far.Strong, nicely packaged and excellent value for money.Well worth the money spent

Does what I need from it.
Although there were no instructions it was quite easy to figure out how to use them. In some reviews say the are all the same resistance when I tried they did feel different. They do the job I bought them for, good for toning up but if you are expecting it to be like a gym work out then I would buy barbell and dumbbells with weights.
