Prone to Breaking - Jason Birky, Feb 26, 2010

I should have suspected that these bands may break fairly easily due to their inexpensive price. I purchased them for the P90X workout, and during the first workout I broke both the handles off the second heaviest band doing exercises they show on the box. (Standing on one end of the cord while pulling the handle for a tricep workout). Once the handles broke off I do still actually use the bands themselves for the workouts, not near as comfortable...but still has decent resistance. During our second workout the handles broke off the red heavier duty bands as well. I sent an e-mail to Valeo directly to see if they would send a replacement but I never got an e-mail back.

Don't Buy These - J. Shepherd, Feb 22, 2010

I bought a medium resistance and a heavy resistance band. I broke the medium resistance band almost immediately. The tubing snapped right at the handle on one end. I threw it away and started using the heavy band. After a couple of months the tubing snapped at one end just like the first band. I tied knots in the tubing to keep it from pulling back through the handle and continued using it. A couple of weeks later the other end of the tubing broke. I tied knots in that end too. Now I have a short VERY high resistance band which is working fine so far. I am not a very strong guy, so these bands must be for real wimps. I do like the really comfortable handles.

Snapped! - F, Jan 28, 2010

I only had this product 2 weeks before the tube snapped. The resistance was pretty light (should have got the heavy), the foam handles nice, but now... unusable.

Great for the disabled in a wheelchair - S. Golding, Sep 10, 2009

This is great arm workout for a person in a wheelchair. If they can, per their PT's advice, it can be wrapped around a deck post and used with many different exercises. Great item.

Not enough resistance...for anyone - Brie, Jul 29, 2008

I don't consider myself to be strong ontop, but this band bought at 5.99 at a store provided no exericse at all. I compared it to 3 lb weights and it didn't even feel like 3lbs.
I do however like the grips since they rotate. Quite comfortable foam grips.
I held it as short as I could and still there was no resistance. It was comparable to lifting a water bottle.
If you buy from Valeo, get a higher ressitance, medium is nothing. I don't even want to know how light feels. Or try another brand that has some better reviews.
