GoFit Resistance Training Power Tubes

Functionality:This is a great addition to the bands I have and use for my arm exercises.

Update after 9 years: The first set hanging on the wall for all this time crumbled. I bought another set of 50lb. Reading the label it said, don't align these with your body and don't stretch them double their resting length. I was doing both. So I bought a pair of 80lbs. These seem perfect. Enough stretch for arm movements. So the critical factor is not overstretching the tubes (If the eye bolt came out of the wall it could kill you.) I'm 5'8" older -- but here's some good info. When I first bought the 50lbs in 2014, I was really fit, a strong kayak paddler. Last couple of years...I've been sitting around. The tubes are so versatile that I'm probably a few inches from where I once stood and I'm still getting a good muscle work out even though I'm much weaker. I'm going sailing for a few months -these will be my gym.Original review (2014): Terrific for exercising my shoulder muscles. (2023 a new set, still terrific)I was concerned that 50 pounds might be too much. I've got two of these and one 40 pound. The difference is 1. How far back you stand and pull determines the force. 2. A stronger Tube at the same force allows me to use a shorter range. I don't think I'm working these at 50 pounds I think I'm getting more of what I want in a shorter but more useful movement. (Shoulder stabilization and muscle balancing. I'm a kayaker).I leave these hanging on the wall hook. They're durable. (but put a date on them and replace them after a couple of years.) I've used the wide latex type bands, but they dry out and break down after a couple of months. (inside these FoFit is also latex tubing - much better protected, but it will get brittle over time.) Hope this helps.

Great band and works with my current handles

Great price, durable, great for work outs, easy to use

I like these bands A LOT. They are a very good value for the price. You can buy Bodylastics and pay 2x for each band. Or you can buy cheaper ones made with less quality materials. But these bands from GoFit are the perfect balance of price and quality. Just realize that unlike metal weights, NO band will not last forever and you will have to replace them at some point.Also the people saying they are not the correct weight are missing the point. The number is not the weight of the band. It is the maximum pressure you should pull the band with. Take the 20lb band. You should only pull it until you reach 20lb of resistance. The listed weight is for a single band anchored at the center and pulled by BOTH ends to a length of about 6 feet. sure I could pull the band 10 feet and it will get way harder, but it will damage the band. Don't do that! Just work out with whatever band gives you failure in 10-15 reps.

Well put together, and great price.

Fantastic piece for the money.

Works as intended
