Affordable, functional & compact!
I’ll preface this review by saying that my husband and I are both avid gym rats. We welcomed our first baby this year and with that being said, it was pretty difficult trying to find time to make it to the gym. I ordered this BodyBoss system because it was affordable and it had many positive reviews.I’ve been using this system for about 2 months now and to be honest, this body boss system exceeded my expectations. The bands are very durable and the attachments are very easy to apply and remove. They send a guide with workouts on there and there are also some videos on YouTube, however, it’s been so fun getting creative with my workouts using this system. In addition to my balanced diet, I’m less than 10 lbs away from my pre-baby weight!In a nutshell, if you’re looking for something compact, affordable and functional then this system is for you!TIP: I remember watching a video review and one said they had too much slack in the bands. All you have to do is just loop it through another section, attach and Boom! There goes your added resistance!

Very versatile
This order came very late but it was not the sellers fault, rather the shippers. The company once told of the problem shipped another one to me. They were very apologetic, friendly and helpful. I would definitely do business with them again. The product is as described and I had my first full body workout with it yesterday and it was surprisingly effective. Great product, great service.Using this equipment with my personal trainer at home was great. My son and I had a lot of fun testing out the many ways we could use it (even with other bands I had) and it was a truly complete workout. Since that first day with my trainer (I’m 54 with alot of medical issues so I always have to check with him first) I have used it everyday safely by myself and hopefully in three months I’ll post some new pics to show my improvement. My only concerns are: 1) the board doesn’t lock flat so you have to plant your feet properly or it starts to bend upward (no biggie as it hasn’t broken or anything and I’m over 200lbs) and 2) I had to used some extra padding on the bar as I am super sensitive and the bar hurt my neck.

This won’t replace free weights, so don’t expect it to.
I’m 5’9″ and 170 pounds and I really put these bands to the peak of their stretch range for things like press so if you’re much taller than me I wouldn’t recommend buying this system.This doesn’t “bring the gym to your home.” Lifting dead weight throughout the entire rep range cannot be achieved with resistances bands and it won’t create the same results. If you want a gym body, go to the gym. Now, if you’re like me and you’re either too injured or too weak to exercise with even body weight, this is a great place to start.The base is great. It’s designed well (I would have preferred a wider foot pad but it’s good enough I suppose) and it’s lightweight. The rings and the bar are compatible with any bands you can clip them to (and there are plenty out there to buy) and you’ll want to buy additional bands pretty much right off the bat. Anyone who NEEDS to workout with resistance bands is going to have limited ability to get a lot of benefit from 40 pound bands, especially since you have to double them to get proper height for some of the workouts, essentially making them 80 pound bands. The ones Amazon recommends in addition (both sets) are good to go. If you buy the 11 piece set you’ll want to buy 2 ($70 but cheaper than buying the Body Boss bands).I don’t recommend squatting with this board. The bands don’t provide a stable enough resistance throughout the rep range even if you double them so you’re likely develop muscular imbalance if you squat with these bands regularly. Squat bodyweight or use a medicine ball or get a set of heavy closed elastic bands and use those (no board needed) for a squatting motion or go to a gym and squat a barbell.I don’t recommend deadlifting with this board. No amount of doubling or tripling the bands is going to create the proper starting position for you (bottom of the rep range) without preventing you from standing upright at the top of the rep so you’re likely to develop muscular imbalance if you deadlift with this board regularly. If you want to deadlift, go to a gym and lift a barbell.This board and the bands you use with it have a ton of versatility for training weak areas of your body and training your body to be healthy enough to do proper bodyweight or free weight exercise. The door anchor especially is a great addition that will allow you to get a full shoulder, chest, delt, bi, tri, trap, and full back workout. I’ve found limited utility for core exercise with it and have determined that using it for legs simply isn’t a good idea for the reasons listed above. For lower body I heavily suggest using bodyweight or closed elastic resistance bands or any kind of dead weight that will allow you a more stable and complete resistance throughout the rep range.The cables I received were flawed- there is a knob in the bindings at the top of the strap that is held by a ring to keep the ring and strap together. On one cable, the knob sits about a half inch higher, which doesn’t sound like much but is amplified at the top of the resistance range where you can feel a real difference when using the handles or the bar. I alleviate this by simply grabbing the band itself but when my other cables get in I’ll be retiring these and using those instead.All in all, it’s a great base for a home exercise program if you’re at a level that resistance bands will aid you in strengthening your ligaments and muscles enough to support for traditional exercise. If you’re already at that level, this is not a substitute for the gym. I bought this, 2 sets of the 11 piece bands and the elastic bands in addition to an ab wheel and a jump rope with a foam roller. It takes about 90 minutes (including the time spent switching cables around) to get a full cardio, core and full body workout in. You will not be able to achieve that with this system alone but it is integral to the process.4 stars. Minus one due to the uneven cables and it should include a range of cables rather than just the 40 pound set. It’s really a good base for a home workout program for beginners.

Easy to use and move around the house ! Perfect for busy moms!!
I like the body boss very much because as a mom of a 2 and 4 year old I didn’t have time to hit the gym when the hours for the childcare are open and it is a huge hassles because it is first come first serve. The hours were the peak hours and I only had 1 to try and cram in a work out which is impossible to do during peak hours.I had let myself go because trying to get to the gym became an expsensive coin toss everytime.I love that I can add more “weight” to it as I get stronger without the hassles of carrying bulky weights around.I am excited to actually be able to have essentially every weight machine I used at the gym combined into one piece of equipment.I really like that it also included door equipment too. All that is missing is it turning into a swimming pool and sauna 😉😁. J/KThis is the perfect gym for moms because we can fit in a work out easily at home which saves time and money. Bonus, also sets a good example for my kids that I want to be healthy for them.I love the portability as well because I can move to different areas of my home even work out while my kids are in the bathtub. 🤣 #noexcuses.

I’m waiting for some gym stuff to be delivered and saw these the BodyBoss as away back into trainning after time off from the gym (virus). The key to successful resistance band training is all to do with tensions, resistance, angles and positions; this kit works really well because it gives amazing flexibility by using these principles.The bands are covered to protect from wear and the attachments are of good quality.I’ve used other bands with the platform with no problems.If you’ve not used bands before, it would be a good idea to look at some YouTube videos, as they really demonstrate the best band configurations to get the best workout.Having used my bands and this ingenious bit of kit for the last few weeks, I can really feel the difference and have enjoyed the smooth way in which they work. And so I intend to carry on with the bands, even after my weights arrive, because I genuinely believe they provide many things that weights cannot; smooth, safe, natural, versatile and complete movement, good value for money, good for cardio, flexibility and stamina.Don’t let the price tag put you off; I’m really pleased I got my BodyBoss and am enjoying finding out even more ways to exercise each day!

Idea ottima. Ben costruita. Resistenza delle fasce discreta (sarebbe ottimo avere 2 resistenze diverse…. Unica vera pecca del prodotto). Poco spazio per avere una vasta scelta di esercizi. Ottimo anche il blocco per la porta. Davvero utile.

正直そこまで期待していなかったけど、そこそこの負荷があるので、自宅トレとしては十分。ガッツリ鍛えたい人には物足りないかもしれないけど。ただ、残念な点もがいくつかあります。トレーニング方法が紹介されているけど、チューブをドアに挟むとか、ベンチ(椅子)を使ったりと、付属品だけで完結してないのは、個人的には気にくわない。あと、3点掛けも紹介されてるけど、フックに負荷が掛かってあまりよろしくないように見えます。説明しにくいですが、フックの角度が維持できないです。チューブ4本のトレーニングも紹介するなら、チューブが2本用のbody bossと、4本用のbody bossで、2種類の売り方をすれば良いのでは?Amazonでは別売りのチューブずっと売り切れですし。残念な点も多いですが、自宅で多用なトレーニングができることを望んでいたので、まぁまぁ満足です。
