HomeGymCritic’s Bodylastics Review

It’s clear that Bodylastics have put a lot of thought into the design and functionality of their resistance bands. First of all they come in a smart color coded system, were each color highlights different resistance levels. Unlike many other more traditional resistance bands, the Bodylastics come with swivel clips which allow for a quick transistion in resistance levels. They’ve also included several other attachments that increase both the functionality and durability which include wider ankle straps, a door anchor, stronger latex tubing, extra padding on the handles, and various other add-ons which help make it a really enjoyable system to use.

For an average price less than $100, the bodylastics resistance bands are an excellent alternative to the more expensive home gyms from Bowflex and Total Gym. Not only can you get a full body workout from bodylastics, you can workout at a high intensity too, with resistance systems producing upto 388 lbs of resistance!
