Bodylastics Home Gym System: The $50 Alternative to Expensive Resistance Gyms

Bodylastics Home Gym Review

Want to save plenty of money? The Bodylastics home gym system is the most inexpensive and complete resistance gym you can buy. If you have been introduced to training with exercise bands at an aerobic or fitness class at a health club, you’ve seen the advantages these “rubber tubes” can offer.

The System

The Bodylastics home gym system consists of five 4' exercise bands ranging in tension from 5 lbs to 22 lbs. They are color coded to avoid confusion: yellow band (light resistance), green (medium), red (light heavy), blue (heavy), and black (extra heavy resistance). You can increase the resistance level by attaching more than one band on the handles, up to 31 combinations in all.

The Bodylastics resistance band home gym includes:

• Five 4' elastic tubes
• Nylon strap door anchor
• 2 Ankle/Wrist Straps
• 2 foam-covered Handles
• Aluminum Clips
• 36-minute Training DVD, User Manual
• Travel/Storage Bag
• Lifetime warranty

The Buzz

Pro trainers who assign their clients exercises with resistance bands use these superior Bodylastics bands over any other brand. The yellow and green bands are ideal for a beginner or for someone out of shape, and the other colors gradually increase in tension for those who are stronger and need more resistance. The Bodylastics home gym system comes with adjustable ankle straps and handles so that you can do most any resistance exercise just as you would on a cable crossover machine or functional trainer.

Users of this home gym system are very high on the product and credit the quality construction and the versatility. Because it is a complete exercise system, you can duplicate almost any resistance exercise using the bands that you can do on expensive equipment. Even fitness buffs who own other gym equipment, such as selectorized stack gyms and free weights, use Bodylastics bands for their simplicity, fun, and the fluid motion when pulling. In addition, they are completely portable; you can take them with you on vacation; just put the 3-lb system and carrying case in your suitcase. You’ll have a complete resistance home gym with you, wherever you go.

Our Take

This is the best $50 you will ever spend on fitness equipment. As a bonus, the Bodylastics exercise system comes with an instructional DVD so you can get the most out of your exercise bands. If you have been trying to find a decent set of resistance bands to work with, other than the overpriced flimsy ones with plastic handles sold at sporting goods stores, this is it. The best resistance bands sold on the market today are made by Bodylastics. The Bodylastics home gym system is recommended.
