*Skip to the bottom if you want to know how resistance bands work, ie stretch vs. actual weight.
I bought this set mainly for physical therapy on my knee. I have extensive nerve damage and aerobic exercise is out of the question. So I have had these for a month now. I really do like this set. There is a lot of variety in weights. I live in an RV and free weights are not an option. I also feel safer using these. I have worked out a decent amount with free weights and I feel I can keep my balance better when working out my arms at chest height and higher.
Now the goodies it comes with.
The door anchor works great. So far the biggest band I have put on it is the 8# one (so 16#'s working weight). Remember it's an RV. I keep an eye on the door and frame. There is not the slightest damage and it doesn't budge when working out.
I also like the "anywhere" anchor. It really makes anchoring these possible to just about anything.
I find the ankle straps are comfortable.
The handles are just the right size. When working out with two bands, I keep a handle on each band during some exercises. I can easily grip both handles to work out. If I can't finish my number of reps, I just let go of the lighter strap and finish with the heavier one. It keeps me from having to stop working out, change grips around, then continue. I am thinking about purchasing one more 3# band. I keep the door anchor with its band on the door all of the time. I also keep the handles attached to their straps all of the time. An extra 3# band would give me the ability to increase the weight on either one without having to share a band.
The band barrier is essential to protect the bands. Just like when I used to rock climb, abrasion is not your friend. I think it is fairly good quality. It could use a better type of stitch. It is way bigger than it looks in the picture. It is 22" long and 3.5" wide when Velcroed together and flat. Nice.
The storage bag is also huge. It is roughly the size of a sleeping bag stuff sack. There are no issues putting everything in there. As a matter of fact, if you plan on carrying this to different places, you could keep a pair of shoes, a towel, and your workout clothes in it with the bands. (I just did it to make sure)
*Now, how bands work. You either have to know calculus really well or just read below.
Skip this paragraph if you have an idea how figuring band weight works.
Most bands I have seen have their rated weight occurring at 300% stretch. When they talk about stretch or percent stretch, here is what they mean. I like easy numbers so we are going to say the tubes on these bands are 40" long. 100% stretch means you are stretching it an additional 100% of its original length or double. Therefore the band is now 80" long. At 200% stretch, it is 120" long or triple. At its max of 300% stretch it is a whopping 160" long or quadruple. That's right. Your band that is a hair over a yard long needs to be stretched to almost 4.5 yards to reach its rated weight on the tag. Most exercises use the band folded in half, so you only have to stretch it to 2.25 yards. That is actually not too bad for some exercises. Remember, if you fold a band in half like you do when using the door anchor, you have to double the weight listed on the band. So, using the above example and a 10# band, your new 300# stretch length would be 80" (40" / 2 because it is folded in half gives 20". Then 20" x 4 gives 80".) and the weight would be 20# (just 10# x 2).
Now the part that is a bit confusing for some. I did a lot of weight testing while stretching, measuring stretch percentage, and math involving algebra. I came up with Bodylastics' weight ratings are at 100% stretch, not 300% like others. This felt right to me, I just never tested it. I like this because it's less math. Each band is slightly different, so it's give or take. At 150% stretch, it was right around 150% labeled weight. (For all the nerds like me, my actual numbers were 100% stretch = 113% weight and 152% stretch = 153% weight. If I used calculus instead of algebra, the 113% weight would be a lot lower) What this also means is their weight ratings are real and trustworthy. Please note I was doing this solo so take my numbers with a grain of salt.
To give you an idea how to use all of this, I will give an example. My door anchor has an 8# band looped in half, so 16#. I put my right foot in the ankle strap and move just far away to make the band taught. I now measure 22" from where my foot is. (half of the 44" stretchy part of the band since it is looped in half) I now position myself so my right foot ends up at that mark during each exercise. I now know I am pulling 16#. If you want more, make your mark at 33" from your original starting point. That is 150%. If your foot ends there you are doing 24#.
Let me first say that I think it important to decide what one's goals are in any exercise program, e.g., rehab, toning, strength, muscle building, or any combination thereof. Why . . . because each utilizes the same equipment but in a differing manner. For example, the fundamental difference between muscle toning and muscle building is the difference between lightly working a muscle for an extended period vs. working a muscle to its point of failure over a short period. In muscle training parlance: light "weight" for many repetitions vs. heavy "weight" for few repetitions. Whether that weight is in the form of free weights (bar- and dumbbells), exercise machines (Nautilus, Bowflex), resistance bands, or sit-, push-, or chin-ups, the action on and by the muscle is, physiologically, the same. My point is, in all but extreme cases, one can achieve the same end with any of the stated means; understanding the differences (limitations, e.g.) might prove helpful. I think it prudent to accomplish a web search in one's specific area of concern (goals) and design a suitable regime/routine.
Obviously, one will not be able to surpass the current Olympic clean and jerk record of 579.7 pounds by training with resistance bands. On the other hand, claims that dumbbells, e.g., are better than resistance bands fail to comprehend the characteristics of each and likely issues from a machismo "pumping iron" mentality. A cursory web search should annihilate any notion that resistance bands are ineffective. A good place to start would be to Google "the great debate: free weights vs. resistance bands" upon which one will see a reference to Jaret Grossman's (body builder, personal trainer, motivational speaker) site, MuscleProdigy, where he contrasts free weights with resistance bands in a most apt discussion.
Resistance bands, unlike free weights offer an unlimited range of motion, one reason that they are used extensively in physical therapy (rehab), especially sports medicine. This unlimited range of motion is impossible with free weights. Recreationally, one can target those upper body muscles that predominate in a golf, baseball, or tennis swing, swimming strokes, etc. I think it also important to note that resistance bands are kinder to the joints than dumbbells, a very big plus for those with arthritis.
For toning and strength, and muscle building, the ease with which one can accomplish several exercises "at once" is remarkable. For example, using the ankle strap, I attach one end of the band(s) to the ankle strap and the other to a nylon strap wrapped around the base of a very heavy dresser (more on this later) and not through to the other ankle. With that one arrangement, while standing, I can first exercise the quads, turn 90 degrees and exercise the adductors, turn 90 degrees and exercise the hamstrings, and finally turn 90 degrees and exercise the abductors. If one muscle group is slightly stronger (or weaker) than the other, I simply move closer (reduces the tension) or further away (increases the tension) from the door. If there is a significant difference, one can quickly add or remove a band(s). Do that with dumbbells!
The ease of operation is another area in which these bands excel. My biceps/triceps are stronger than my deltoids. With the bands, after I exercise the biceps/triceps, I simply remove (unhook) one band and work the deltoids. With my dumbbells, I have to first unscrew the retaining collar, and then unscrew a three-pound weight from each end - for each dumbbell.
Finally, I agree with the reviewer who noted that the force of the band could exceed the weight of the individual - an issue easily overcome. I had that problem exercising my leg muscles. What I now do is to attach the band to that strap around the dresser I mentioned above, allowing enough slack for me to stand in a doorway where I can brace myself with my arms. In a word, be creative in addition to the methods provided by the manufacturer.
As to the bands: they are, indeed, manufactured from heavy-duty components as stated. The rings to which the bands quick-connect are welded closed (and polished) so there is no worry about them separating from the strap. The loop and hook (Velcro) ankle straps attach very firmly with no give whatsoever. The bands travel through a grommet in the handle and are secured to a solid fitting that that cannot be pulled through the grommet. I trust the manufacturer's claim that the anti-snap technology renders the bands safe; I have no doubt that the system has been extensively tested.
Two final notes: in reading the review of one whose bands quickly became cracked or otherwise deteriorated, one suggestion was made regarding the dry climate. The first thing I wondered about was standing on the bands on a hard, rough surface or, instead of passing the bands through the provided door anchor or "anywhere anchor," is it possible that one passed the bands around a rough post or pipe. In other words, the anchor straps have a smooth, spongy material over which the bands travel that prevents abrasion. I stand on the bands in my stocking feet on a carpet. Secondly, mindful of one's comments regarding the lack of a printed manual, what I did was to convert the PDF file on the disc to a MOBI file and place the manual on my Kindle. This simple task can be accomplished by Calibre, K2pdfopt, Amazon (for a nominal fee), and any of several other apps. My preference is K2pdfopt (Google "Willus K2pdfopt") since one can either accept default settings or choose from any number of options. K2pdfopt will also convert PDF files to accommodate smart phones. The site also lists a number of other apps for PDF conversion.
Hope this helps.

The quality is quite good, other than the somewhat questionable door anchor. The internal ropes provide a better sense of safety – which is the main reason I bought this brand instead of others.
I have a pretty extensive home weight-training gym which uses free weights – including several benches, hex trap, lots of steel plates, pulley equipment, many attachments, etc. Compared to the free weights, these elastic bands seem be easier on the body, but provide longer lasting benefits. This might be partly because my body has become used to free weights, but I think it’s more because the elastics can provide a more linear resistance throughout the range of motion. It’s not actually linear, simply because the elastic resistance becomes greater as it stretches – but it’s better than with free weights. i.e. regular bicep curls have little resistance at the start of the pull, but then becomes much tougher halfway through.
Because of the better linear resistance, (for me) the muscles stay toner for longer. Compared with free weights, I can use less resistance (easier on the body), and have more rest days between workouts without losing muscle tone. And unexpectedly, my muscles seem to be running on a higher metabolic rate days after the workouts – but this might just be a coincidence with other factors.
These resistance bands are great for general strength training and body toning. But it is probably not suitable for power lifters, because the movement dynamics are so different. Also, I don’t see this as being able to replace free weights, because free weights provide a more natural and full range of resistance. I think the resistance bands and free weights are good complements to each other, and I will continue using both in my home workouts (likely alternating them, instead of using both in the same workout). I can actually use just the resistance bands if I didn’t already have a home gym, and I can definitely just use the bands on long trips.
BTW, I use this package with better anchor straps (hood loop straps - the type used to anchor ropes to the hood of a car), because I’m skeptical of the anchor which came with the kit. Also, I am using some good climbing carabiners to avoid nicking the bands on the anchor straps (which will cause them to snap). And I got some tree safe straps to anchor the bands to poles, trees, etc if a suitable door is not available. For presses, I instead use swivelling push up bars, which are great. These items cost more than the original resistance kit – and the entire combined package does take up a lot of space in the luggage.
One good thing to know--although it may be obvious to many--is that the rated strength of a resistance effectively doubles when you loop it around something and so are pulling on two strands. When I do my lat rows I loop it around a sturdy hook, attach each end to a handle, and row with both hands. The 30 lb band looped like this gives 60 lbs of resistance, and the top two bands together give close to 100 lbs (96). If I added the next one down, I could get 122 lbs. I have ordered an extra 30 lb band separately for $28, to grow into as I get stronger.
I like the handles -- very ergonomic and well built. Same for the clippable O-rings--obviously good quality.
I found this set at the recommendation of the New York Times consumer review column, The Wirecutter, which rate the Bodylastics set #1. I'd have to say I agree with them, based on my inital experience.
