Care Guide
  • Storage: Keep out of direct sunlight, humid environments or excessively hot or cold temperatures.
  • Cleaning: Yes, bands can be hand washed. Hand wash with warm water and a non-abrasive cleaning solution. Hang to dry. (Ex. Dawn dish soap).
  • Caution: Avoid direct contact with knurling, asphalt, concrete, or any abrasive surface. If using your band on any of these or a board system, we recommend a protective barrier like our Band Guard, a towel or old shirt. This helps maximize the durability and life of your band.
  • Life Span: Based on average use -which we assume to be 1-hr of use 3 times per week- bands should last 12-18 months in residential settings and 6-9 months in commercial settings.
  • Normal Wear & Tear: Our bands are one continuous piece of latex made through a proprietary layering process with a total of 15 layers. Over time the bands may begin to peel or show other signs of use. This is normal and does not affect the integrity or application of bands when minor. If peeling gets worse, it may be a sign that your band is aging and may be due for a replacement.

12" monster mini exercise bands can be used as hip and glute activation bands for dynamic warm-ups.

Serious Steel Mini bands have the same tension ratings as the 41" version - just smaller.

*If you have a sensitivity to latex, purchase and use this product with caution.*

WHAT MAKES OUR BANDS DIFFERENT?

SRI LANKA

Top Quality | Fair Trade | Sustainable

Our manufacturing facility has been a top producer of natural rubber latex resistance bands since 1947.

Raw Materials are sourced locally through heavily regulated, sustainable and eco-friendly farming. 

Sri Lanka is also free from child labor.

Premium raw materials are the foundation of our bands, but our proprietary manufacturing process is what makes them some of the best bands in the world.

ALL ABOUT THE LAYERS

The seam on our bands is not a mistake or defect. Actually, this is one way you can tell you have a quality band!
How our bands are made:
Our bands are made through a continuous layering process with 15 total layers. The 15 layers from one piece of latex gives the band a seam on the inside and outside. Our manufacturing process helps maximize durability, elasticity and tension consistency. 

The consistent tension curve throughout your ROM is the best way to feel the difference between a high and low quality band. Lower quality bands have a force curve that typically flattens out when stretched beyond 70%.

PROTECTIVE COATING

Resistance bands are basically big, rubber bands. You have probably noticed that old rubber bands it will start to dry-rot.

To prevent dry-rot and maintain elasticity, a natural and non-toxic protective coating is added to each band. Natural Rubber Latex needs additional components to maintain material stability and elasticity. Even though it is natural and non-toxic, this could irritate skin if you are allergic to, or have a latex sensitivity.

Can bands be washed to minimize this?

Yes. This can be minimized by washing the band with warm soapy water. Air dry or pat dry with a clean towel.

Spud Door Jammer

The orange bands work great with the Spud Inc. Door Jammer. I use them on a low pulley setup and they provide the right increment for curl and military press exercises.
