A positive review, with one questionable issue (at bottom)

My 15yo daughter could not do a single pullup. She was too weak to do negatives, so I bought a WOD Red and Black bands. We wrapped them around the pull-up bar and back through themselves, so she can put her foot through them and help her get her chin over the bar.

With one end wrapped around the bar and a foot on the band, it is easy to stretch these bands over 9' in length. My kids were scared of them, but not as much after I showed them they did not break with me.

I highly encourage you to buy a complete set. Spend the money, and take advantage of the 15% discount WOD offers. I tried to be smart, and only bought the RED (10-35#) and BLACK (30-60#), thinking that 95# would be enough.

It isn't. Using both the Red and Black bands simultaneously, my daughter still cannot complete a single pull-up.

These bands are not rubber, but some sort of polymer.

PROBLEM: I used the black band the day it arrived, and it was perfect. The next morning, I found it broken in two (two breaks) with both pieces on the floor. It looked like it snapped, with multiple shark tooth serrations on the corners near the break. Perhaps my young boys snapped it like a rubber band (they deny it), but the net result is it was defective. I emailed WOD Nation and they sent a replacement, free of charge, which has performed flawlessly.

Since we don't have enough "˜band' yet, I tied the larger broken piece of black band together and we are using that as an additional assistance. It works, but is clearly defective, either from a snap, or chemically, as additional shark teeth have been forming.

If you get a bad one, contact WOD Nation for a free replacement. Does anyone know whether this is an OE or Manufacturing defect?

Still 5 stars. Daughter can barely do 5 pullups, with all three bands, and getting stronger. She also wears a life jacket (padding) and uses both the Red and Black bands while doing push-ups. Exercise is awesome.

I started working out daily about 2 months ago using an at-home routine that calls for a pull up bar. Every time this exercise comes up during the routine I have to make sure I have a step stool or chair to help me get up to the top. I heard about assist bands and found this product on Amazon. The chart made it clear which one would work for my needs (green) and I couldn't be happier with it. As soon as it arrived, I slung it up there and did my first ever pull up without a step stool. It's now always attached to my bar so it makes setup for the workout really easy. I've only had it a few days but it seems like it will hold up for a long time. Great quality product!

These bands are awesome! I used be able to do 10 unassisted pull-ups but years of sitting at a computer for work and lack of exercise have taken it's toll. I can barely sqeak out 1 pull-up these days. So I tried some of those fancy pull-up/dip machines at the gym and darn, it doesn't FEEL like I'm doing a pull-up. I discovered these bands when they popped up on the search page when I bought the jump rope on Amazon. I immediately bought the purple and the red band based on the chart. I am 122lbs, and I can do 4 pull-ups with the purple. I'm guessing I should be able to do 6-8 with the purple/red combo. These are perfect for supersets. And they feel like real pull-ups! Love it!

A quality product from a caring company.

These bands were ordered for my wife. The color selection correlates to the amount of assistance provided. WOD Nation's chart is very intuitive. It is made easy to understand without any guessing.

The band arrived as promised and came in a professional packaging that was very easy to open and included complimentary stickers of the company's logo.

A follow up email was sent from WOD that was both humorous and added a touch of personal caring.

Highly recommend this product and this company based on this experience.

I don't usually leave reviews. I am a 135 lb. female. And I wanted to do pull-ups. I'm not able to do one on my own, yet. I have had a different type of pull-up assists but I didn't feel that I was progressing. So I bought these. I love them. They are very tough/well built. I wasn't so sure they could really hold me and assist me but I can feel a huge difference. I ordered the purple and the red. I think I'm going to progress a lot faster now. So glad I finally ordered some good bands.
