I dont quite get all the good reviews. These are super thick which is why I initially ordered them to try and avoid slippage, but omg these were too thick. Not pliable at all! I could barely get them around my legs. These may work for some but I honestly dont see how. Very uncomfortable and I have tried many bands. The only ones I have had any luck with were the fabric covered ones. Also I got two of the 30lb ones in the pack and was missing the 15 lb one. Very disappointed.

Shoutout to any mother who has had their derriere vanish due to breastfeeding their child. That's what happened to me, and I have primarily relied on resistance bands to help rebuild muscle and shape over the last year (it CAN be done!). I'm not an athlete or fitness trainer...working out is just a hobby of mine, and I enjoy trying out accessories that enhance what I do in the gym, and are useful when the gym isn't an option. At first I purchased cheaper bands that did in fact work, but they were made out of thin material that constantly rolled and needed adjusting, or tore easily. Not long after owning the cheap bands it became difficult to reach muscle fatigue even with the heaviest resistance and way too many reps. It was time for an upgrade.

I decided to purchase The X Bands due to the variety of resistance offered (15lbs, 30, 40, 60 and 80), and so many positive reviews about the durability. Upon opening, I could tell by the thickness and elasticity that they were significantly better quality. I have been using these bands for 5 weeks, and already feel like my progress has accelerated. There are many factors to consider when it comes to reaching fitness goals, but with the cheap bands it took me about a year to reach my first goal. I probably would've gotten there quicker if I had purchased The X Bands when I first decided to focus on rebuilding my glutes. I would've gotten a lot of use out of the 15lb bands, focusing on correct form. Currently, I warm up with the 30lb band and then move to 40-60lb for most of my exercises and am definitely feeling that familiar burn again. The 80lb bands are still too challenging...another positive thing! The bands are heavy-duty, and have good grip...they don't slide up or down on my body. The different thickness and colors are helpful in distinguishing resistance, as the label will inevitably rub off.

I would also recommend these bands to people seeking gentle therapy for tight hips.

I wouldn't say the x bands are good or bad. For me and my husband we found that they are beyond to small to get our legs into (we both are skinny with tiny legs). They rip the hair off/skin off if you're wearing shorts! They are so thick it's not fun or user friendly. This isn't our first go around at bands but decided to buy this band because I have been following their post on Instagram. They make work for some but not for us. They can do the job but not comfortable! Also HATE the fact that weight isn't write on it so I have to refer back to the "weight resistance" picture! I've had them for about 2 weeks and as of right now I wouldn't reorder again!

its thicker n stronger than another bands ive used. paying 3.5 times more than other bands is worth the price. i use this for lunges, squats , stairmasters and back kicks. i love it. i would recomm this to friends

High quality bands. I have another cheaper brand and they don't feel as thick or sturdy as these bands. I also did not want to spend the money for the smaller Rogue monster bands. These are wider and great for body work. I'm not sure how they would hold up if you wanted to attach them to a bar or something else like you can with the Rogue bands. If you're not looking for that, go with these bands. They are not the cheapest, but the price is great for the quality, resistance levels, and comfortable width of these bands.
