Aylio Resistance Bands and Door Anchor for Exercise, Fitness, Physical Therapy, Pilates Workout, Stretching | 6 Feet Long

These bands are great. I have been using them for about ten years. These bands do not often break prematurely - I had that happen once and the seller immediately replaced the whole set. The blue and green bands seem to last forever - I have never had one break! The red bands (the Heavy bands) seem to last six to eight months of very regular use. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the heavy bands do not provide as much resistance as they used to. Perhaps, the manufacturer might consider producing an "extra-heavy" band of a different color. In the meantime, I may consider combining the green and red bands in my workouts.

These bands are great! I broke my elbow a few months ago, and once I started doing some PT exercises with these bands, the healing improved exponentially. (NOTE: please don't use for PT without a medical professional's guidance- my doctor had given me specific exercises to do)The bands are great for regular exercise as well. The bands are colored based on resistance levels, but thankfully they also say on them: "light", "moderate", and "heavy", so you don't have to remember the colors. (I personally love that feature!) To be honest, I haven't worked up to the heavy one at all- I'm still on moderate. You really can get a strength workout from these!These do not come with a booklet of any sort, so you either need to buy one separately, or do some research online, or have another way to find out how to use them for good exercise. But if you're just looking for some bands, these are great.

They do what they're supposed to do (stretch), and they seem sturdy enough not to break. The "door anchor" is a piece of webbing with a loop on one side, and a ball bearing or marble sewn into the other side as a stopper, which seems like it should work fine.The biggest downside is that since they're latex, they smell rather strongly. After you pick up one of these, even for just a second, your hands will smell like you're wearing your dentist's rubber gloves. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's not ideal. They're a bit cheaper than the competition, and I suppose this is why.There are no instructions or exercise suggestions with the product (though there are about 47 warnings that the bags they come in are not a toy). Of course, there are popular internet video sites with a million exercises. Just be aware that the colors of these (blue-green-red) are the opposite of other popular brands of exercise bands. Again, it's a little annoying that the companies making these couldn't agree on a color scheme, but it is what it is.

The bands arrived as expected, and have performed admirably. I am using them to help me heal and strengthen after a SLAP lesion repair earlier this summer. The bands have been robust, and aren't showing any signs of breakdown after a couple weeks of steady use.The length is almost perfect...I can stand on the middle of the bands, and use them for simple curls, overhead presses, or anything in between. I've also made good use of the door frame attachment. This simple piece easily slips between my door frame and the door when closed, allowing me to have an overhead orientation for the bands, further increasing their usefulness.I've also just completed a business trip with these bands, they fit incredibly easily into my suitcase without taking up any real space. It's great to be able to continue working on repairing my body while traveling for work. All around great buy!

We haven't used the door attachment yet, but these bands are exactly what we were looking for. Our daughter walks on her toes and we needed something that she could use to to stretch her achilles tendon. These work wonderfully and she finds it fun as well. It is great that 3 different resistances are included, because they each work well for myself, my daughter, and my husband. I have found that they are also very versatile and can be used for many exercises to work many different areas of the body. They are small and easy to store so that makes them always available for exercising and stretching.

I mostly ordered this set of bands for the door anchor that comes with it. I needed something that would allow me to do my PT at home on my own. If you have worked with bands and done exercises for your feet, then you know it can be hard to do if you do not have someone holding one end of the band. The door anchor is perfect for it. I truly love it, and it has allowed me to do the exercises for my feet without the band slipping out and smacking me. There is a set of instructions that contains exercises to do with the bands, which I thought was neat (but I did not need those as I am doing PT). These are my favorite fitness bands as well, I feel like they are easy to use.

I have now worked out with these bands and they are perfect for my needs. They are long enough for me to use them attached to a door for push downs/tricep exercises. I was able to wrap them around my feet to do rowing exercises also. I could tell a distinct difference in the 3 bands (light, medium, heavy) and they are marked so you don't forget which is which. The door anchor works very well. I had ordered a pair of Bixie loops and returned them because the loop design did not allow much flexibility and did not meet my needs. I can't say enough good things about the Aylio bands and I will likely buy another pair just to have in case a band breaks. Love them! Great value!

...despite it not being used. All 3 bands were sitting their package in a drawer for ~ 6 years. The red and green medium resistance bands survived.I wish I knew about the lifetime guarantee before tossing them. They're no longer available so it doesn't matter in the end.
