Building a Home Band Gym allows you to train for fitness and performance Anytime, Anywhere while eliminating the hassles and health concerns that come with having to rely on a local gym membership.

We all understand the importance of keeping our body strong and metabolic fit by following a weekly exercise routine. However for many joining a local gym is not an option. As a result, having a home gym of some type is a more favorable exercise option. Fortunately building a Home Band Gym is something anyone can do regardless their home living situation.

Why You Should Start with Bands When Building Your Home Gym

My first home gym was a squat rack, some machines and a bunch dumbbells. It emphasized heavy equipment, minimal floor space and focused on muscle not movement. It’s no wonder I was stiff and inflexible. In 2005, at age 42, I decided Movement Not Muscle was how I wanted to train. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to stay strong and maintain as much muscle mass as I could but it became increasing more clear to me that if I was going to enjoy life to fullest, moving well with no joint pain and stiffness had to become priority #1. So I rebuilt my Home Gym into a Home Band Gym with the emphasis on getting mobile, functionally strong, metabolic fit and keeping my joints feeling good.

Dave –

I just wanted to shoot you a quick note to say “Thank you!” In the midst of the chaos and quickly evolving situation with Coronavirus, many of my friends are stressing because they are scared to go to their local gyms to workout. This fear has not once entered my mind because of RBT. You have prepared me and so many others for being able to workout wherever we are. I won’t miss a workout due to not being able to go somewhere. This situation has also allowed the opportunity for me to share about you & RBT without falling on deaf ears or being dismissed as a fantastic workout option.

Thank you, Dave, for leading the charge!!

See you in the Band Gym, quarantined or not!
