“I really enjoy this band. Very versatile. You can pretty much use it anywhere for most exercises. I would say if you are thinking about getting them you should just get the whole set because you can find an exercise for any band color or work up to them” -Amazon Customers Jeff & Pam

Quality bands for a variety of workouts
I bought the set of three bands, and I really love them. I use all of them in a variety of different workouts. I train at the gym a lot and I’m experienced in using resistance bands for hip stability/strength training.Here are my best tips for using the bands:The PURPLE band offers a good amount of resistance when it is wrapped around ankles. It is suitable for lying down hip abduction, and other on-the-floor exercises. It is also good for monster walks (band around ankles).The RED band is best used above knees, for standing up exercises such as one-leg Romanian deadlift, or weighted squats. It is also suitable for reverse flutter kicks when lying on your stomach (glutes), and offers more challenge in monster walks (band above knees)The BLUE band is heavy duty, and it is best above knees in hip thrusts, both off the ground and with your back on a bench. It also offers an optimal challenge when doing unweighted or light squats, and can therefore be used for warmup before heavier sets.Overall, these bands are all you need for effective hip and glute strength/stability training. The durability and resistance is much better than the 5-band sets on Amazon (as these bands are thinner), hence the higher price. I would recommend this for someone who already has some experience of resistance bands and is looking for more challenge.The assume that the green band must be very heavyweight. I have one heavier band from another manufacturer, and I barely use it, except for unweighted hip thrusts. The resistance is too high to use for other types of exercises.

Great Bands!
I started consistently going to the gym and weight training in Jan. 2016 and at first I was using the very basic, super flimsy/skinny resistance bands that you can pretty much buy anywhere. They’re good for beginners, but if you’re really looking for good glute/ham/quad activation, you’re going to need something a lot stronger that also won’t snap on you. I did a lot of research and finally bought this band. OH MY GOD! I totally overestimated my strength! lol This band is super high quality and has incredible resistance, it’s literally like an band you would use for assisted pull-ups, but much smaller, so that you can loop it around your ankles. I would recommend starting with the lightest one and working your way up. I additionally purchased the other lighter bands to incorporate into my glute wokrout and can’t wait to see the booty gains! Great for: glute kickbacks, side clams, leg raises, side steps, wall sits, powerlifting, etc. It also helps if you have trouble keeping your knees turned out while doing squats, because with the band around your knees, you have to make a conscious effort to push them out.

Good for use with bamboo bar/ earthquake bar
I ordered 4 more of these bands after testing the first 2. These bands were perfect for hanging 25/35 lbs plates from the bamboo bar. I did a double sling on the 35’s because I didn’t want to over stress the material but it provided a nice amount of bounce and instability which is what you want from the bamboo bar. Would recommend for this use. I will be ordering one more size up for the 45’s but I don’t typically use that plate for bamboo, rather I typically just hang more members(pair of 25’s) multiple members increase instability in the exercise. Will upload photos tomorrow to help everyone understand what this looks like.

Good strong and thick product
Got the 12 inch BIG green one. I was looking for something like my gym has abs it looked good and thick. I didn’t realize it would be too good for me lol. Hopefully gonna work into this band. Very strong, thick and definitely like the gym brand, only more resistance as I can barely move it lol. But like I said im gonna work toward being able to actually use it. Gonna purchase the next size down, as the quality is unsurpassed compared to the other flimsy ones i tried buying. Definitely a good strong product

Great Quality
Serious Steel is my go to for bands. My deadlift bands I bought months ago are still looking good. These bands work well for glute bridges

Not like the pictures
So I got those mini bands today but they’re nothing like the pictures you see on the page.They look very old and stink pretty bad. They’re covered with a white powder and my package arrived opened ! From Sri Lanka . They don’t look and feel like good quality at all. They’ll probably snap in less than a year. That’s disgusting and you pay $30 for that?

Heavy duty bands, Great variety in resistance
These bands are great. The resistance with the light band is perfect for newbies and warm-up for more experienced. The blue band is defintitley for those with serious strength.I was looking for resistance bands to do glute floor work. I searched without success. Fortunately, a woman at the gym with a fantastic butt was repping out dozens of lifts with a band. Between sets, I asked her which band she was using. She immediately pulled up the Serious Steel Bands on Amazon. I ordered before I left the gym.My only gripe is the powder residue on the bands. It gets on my black workout pants.Definite recommendation!

Great set of small exercise bands!
When these arrived, i was slightly disappointed. I thought i had ordered much, much longer bands. I was looking at the longer bands offered by this company when I clicked on the other buying options. I found this set of 3 for a very good price, in relation to the single bands I was viewing. I did not look closely enough at the number measurements and did not realize that the size if the bands I was now viewing were different from the others I had been comparing. Oops. These are still very high quality, would recommend

Bought these as I needed more resistance in my bands. They are exactly what I was looking for. Very challenging and will be a while until I can work up to using the blue band. Happy with my purchase.
