I feel that bands are the best tool I can share with them (family and friends) because they are for all ages and fitness levels.

Dave,

I’m almost 48 years old and I’ve never had a break in my pursuit of fitness, so I’m pretty “fit” for my age. However, I have aging parents and friends my age who could use more exercise in their life. I feel that bands are the best tool I can share with them because they are for all ages and fitness levels. Being fit is more than just “looking good”!

Thank you for doing what you do.

I need to tell you, in addition to how well the latex free bands are working, you offer me so much inspiration when it comes to programming for my clients.

As I’m sure you’ve experienced, a programming block occurs occasionally when trying to create new workouts to keep things fresh for my clients. You help break that block on a regular basis!

Again, thank-you for your help and keep those videos coming!

Dave, your RBT is WAY MORE EFFECTIVE than other orthopedic care to date!

My #1 Goal with band training is to mitigate shoulder impingement in my workouts for hang gliding and ski season at 71.

Dave, your RBT is WAY MORE EFFECTIVE than other orthopedic care to date! Am most grateful for your expertise, drive and compassion.
You rock!

Bands have allowed me to adjust intensity with ease, and produce unlimited options.

Absolutely great advice and exercise examples for a 64-year-old who’s learning to find challenging routines that are both fun and sustainable. Bands have allowed me to adjust intensity with ease, and produce unlimited options. Thanks for all you do. Much appreciated!

I’m never going back to free weights of any kind. RBT training is all the resistance I need.

Dave

I’m 78 and started band training just over 3 months ago) I alternate between a brisk walk of about two miles one day and RBT training (3 reps each of 10 exercises) the next. I’ve reached a point now where my heart rate after 30 to 35 minutes of RBT training is equivalent to what I get after my walk; usually about 65% of max. I now get through my band exercises without taking the 30 second rest between sets. I’m never going back to free weights of any kind. RBT training is all the resistance I need. Thanks for introducing me to a whole new way of exercising.

Best.

I’m able to vary my workouts from day to day and look forward to and enjoy my exercising like never before.

Excellent advice, Dave. Stellar stuff.

I’m focusing on rotation and seeing the improvements. Let me add, RBT bands have enabled my workouts to become multidimensional — full body involvement in my workouts now. I also key in on your advice to perform some movements slow, some fast. I’m able to vary my workouts from day to day and look forward to and enjoy my exercising like never before. Bands (following the array of movements you’ve demonstrated), calisthenics, adding a day or two each week of light/medium dumbbells. Some days lighter bands, higher reps, lots of movement. Some days working up from lighter to heavier bands with deliberate, concentrated effort. Plus, my taekwondo form keeps getting better as I execute moves with more authority. (Note that I perform some of those moves using bands as they enforce form discipline.) It’s a blast. And this from a guy about to turn 74.

Best regards as always,

Your training tips and workout videos have significantly motivated me to stay focused and to be the best that I can be as I age.

Hi Dave:

You did a very good job in describing the inevitable changes that happen as we age and unfortunately I am experiencing them more and more with each passing year.

Fortunately though I believe I have been able to slow these changes down significantly through the use of resistance bands.

Resistance bands have helped me to not only maintain strength, mobility, flexibility, and muscle definition but also with what I believe in some ways is more important, is that it has helped me with balance and core strength.

Also your training tips and workout videos have significantly motivated me to stay focused and to be the best that I can be as I age.

Thanks Dave for all your help

The new website and the new app really shows the quality and effort that your team and you put into this business.

Just wanted to send you a note of encouragement. The new website and the new app really shows the quality and effort that your team and you put into this business. It is the same quality that you put into the programs and workouts you provide. I really love the daily workouts and have been creating seconds pro timers for them as they come out. I appreciate the implementation of the kettlebells in this week’s workouts and hope that trend continues to some extent. Thanks again.

Myself and 6 of my neighbors really enjoy our band workout since we started with your band set.

Good morning Dave

I do have a band gym set up.

Myself and 6 of my neighbors really enjoy our band workout since we started with your band set. Perhaps it has been 8 to 10 years working out with your bands. Matt Cook originally introduced me to you and your workouts.

Anyway, we really love it.

Thank you. Stay safe and have a great day.

Happy Band Gym Member with a Happy Gym!! He’s a fan and so am I.

Hello Dave,

A couple of years ago I sent you a floor plan of our bonus room and you gave recommendations on bar placement. Here is a picture of that area in our gym.

I think my husband was a little skeptical of all the uses and benefits of band training. He kept wanting to use heavy free weights. But I didn’t purchase those so he was kind of forced to figure out the bands. Now he loves them! He’s able to do exercises that do not hurt his shoulder. He’s also able to do more precise workouts than he expected.

He’s a fan and so am I.
Thanks again for your help.

I think this is your best newsletter yet. Down to earth, common sense, simple, straightforward. Heart to heart from you to me.

Hey Dave,

Love this. I think this is your best newsletter yet. Down to earth, common sense, simple, straightforward. Heart to heart from you to me.

At 75 I have been following you and RBT for over 10 years. Not as consistent as I should have been, but that is about to change. I have 5 and 3 year old grandchildren that want me to hang around a few more years.

Keep up the great work.

I am participating in the RBT 28 day Challenge, and I have to say that I am really enjoying the information you are providing.

Hi Dave,

I am participating in the RBT 28 day Challenge, and I have to say that I am really enjoying the information you are providing. Even though I have been using your bands and programs for years, there’s always something to learn or simply refresh.

I especially like when you teach how one can design their own workout, since I think that feeling of being “in charge” of my training is a great motivator for me to stay consistent. Please keep up your great job!

Best and most important of all, there has been the “Dave factor.” Having a genuine human to answer my questions has been invaluable.

Dave,

Your latest email on Peloton was one of your best. I hope you do more articles like this one: Real talk, no-holds-barred. Too many in the so-called fitness industry prey on people who have the best of intentions. It’s easy to fall for one-size-fits all “workout at home” pitches. People want to get started but are intimidated by their lack of knowledge and experience. I know because I was once one of them.

RBT and the Band Gym have been the exact opposite of the typical one-size-fits all “workout at home.” It has helped me learn to develop workouts tailored to my own needs. Those workouts have complimented my maximum intensity weight training sessions, helped me recover from surgery, and increased my enjoyment of fitness. They’ve given me the freedom and joy to work out on playgrounds, beaches, and all over the great outdoors. And they’ve liberated me from depending on mediocre hotel gyms, many of which are still closed or in disrepair “because Covid.”

Best and most important of all, there has been the “Dave factor.” Having a genuine human to answer my questions has been invaluable. You clearly have no agenda other than sharing the joy of getting better with bands. Sincerity cannot be faked or marketed. Even though I’ve never met you, I consider you a trusted coach who wants nothing but the best for me. I may just have to add traveling to Wisconsin and working out with you on a playground to my bucket list!

Please do keep sharing your thoughts on fitness trends… the good, the bad, and the ugly. It makes for great reading.

Cheers,
Michael H

I really enjoy my band membership, it is the best money I have spent for fitness.

I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed the January workouts and the first week of the February workouts. They are certainly challenging me. I really like having a workout. I’m hoping to develop overall strength that will translate into improved running. At 63, almost 64, I feel really good about my fitness level. Although I enjoy your workouts, I hope to be able to eventually develop my own workouts to maintain and improve fitness and compliment my running.

I really enjoy my band membership, it is the best money I have spent for fitness.

I am really enjoying the daily (Band Gym) workouts.

Hi, Dave

I am really enjoying the daily (Band Gym) workouts. I’ve completed all your programs, most multiple times, but lacked the time and confidence to build my own workouts. The monthly programs do all this for me with a fitness theme, new exercises with lots of modifications, coaching, and education.

Thanks in advance,

Paul Baldino

I have to say I am enjoying the new format of the Band Gym with the daily exercises. I’ve committed myself to using these workouts for myself so I don’t even have to think about my own.

Hey Dave,

I’m excited about this month’s workouts. I have to say I am enjoying the new format of the Band Gym with the daily exercises. I’ve committed myself to using these workouts for myself so I don’t even have to think about my own.

Given all the work you’re putting into the Band Gym, it’s a steal at the price you’re offering it for.

I’ve spent the last four weeks doing the Momentum Builder Program in the Band Gym. I love it! It’s one of the most well rounded and challenging routines I’ve ever done.

Hey Dave!

So, I’ve spent the last four weeks doing the Momentum Builder Program in the Band Gym. I love it! It’s one of the most well rounded and challenging routines I’ve ever done. I really feel like my whole body is represented whereas, in the past, I always felt I was missing something or focusing too much on one area.

Thanks!

Resistance Band Training “Builds in A Margin of Error” when Awkward Movements Happen

Last Monday I was headed out to work. Opened the front door and it was raining. I took one step and down I went. The granite steps were coated with ice and the slight rain made them very slick.

All I remember was the violent strike to my hip and then to my left shoulder as I continued to tumble all the way down the 6 steps to the driveway.

I had my gym band bag in one hand and my lunch in the other.

As I laid in a puddle at the bottom of the steps I did a quick feel over for anything that may be broken.

I got up and went into the garage and house to change my clothes. Mary, my wife is a nurse so she also gave me a once over as well.

Back in dry clothes I headed out to the plant.

When I got to the plant I headed up to the gym to get my roller and bands out. I did a 40 min workup to check for any hidden injuries. I did find my ankle was sore but not enough to stop working out.

The next two days the soreness and bruising set in but really nothing compared to the violence of the fall especially being 61 years old.

I attribute the lack of overall injury to my strength and range of movement from doing your workouts with your bands and the roller.

Thanks Dave!

I wanted to tell you I’m sticking with you. I love all the info and the videos and the daily feed of the mobility-themed workouts.

Hi Dave,

Got the email today about continuing or canceling membership and I wanted to tell you I’m sticking with you.

I love all the info and the videos and the daily feed of the mobility-themed workouts. I love looking good, but at this point in life I can see well enough into the future that it’s obvious that looking good is a distant second to being able to do things I enjoy and to keep doing them.

So I’m excited to stick with you and keep learning! I can’t believe how much there is to learn on your site.

So glad to be back in the Band Gym.

Hi Dave,

So glad to be back in the Band Gym. Been having a blast the last 2 years and really can’t Thank You enough for changing my thinking as far as working out.

It is a game changer and I look forward to the future without injuries.

Have a great day.

I love your products and videos.

Dave, Thank you for your input. My body feels great since I’ve been working out with bands. I love your products and videos. I try to spread the word about RBT. It’s great for any age and any fitness level.

After contemplating for the longest time whether to buy the band gym membership, I did and am not disappointed.

Hey Dave how is it going?? I am well thanks for asking. After contemplating for the longest time whether to buy The Band Gym membership, I did and am not disappointed. You always put so much free stuff on the net and I have taken advantage of it. I have been training with bands for a couple of years now and I love it. I will be traveling to Europe for about three weeks for the holidays and plan to take a couple of bands along. The Band Gym is so extensive that I have a blast looking at the different things. I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Stay safe and healthy.

I’ve never felt any pain or discomfort, no injuries and I am building muscle and fitness.

Dave,

I found out about your site after injuring myself during training with weights and after working out with bands using your exercises and programs. I’ve never felt any pain or discomfort, no injuries and I am building muscle and fitness.

Thank you so much for all your work, explanations and study materials. It’s good to learn more about movements and physics etc while working out!

Having the week’s workouts available means I can program them all into seconds pro at the start of the week and I am ready to go each day.

Hi Dave, just thought I would give feedback on the daily workouts you are providing in the new band gym. I find this really useful. I tend to squeeze workouts in at lunchtime, now I work from home following the pandemic. Having the week’s workouts available means I can program them all into seconds pro at the start of the week and I am ready to go each day. No thinking about what workout I am going to do. For those who work, have kids, a house to maintain and a wife to keep happy, this really is useful. This also means I have an ever growing bank of workouts available on seconds pro. The versatility of RBT has to be one of the biggest plus for me. Finally, its bands, so I look forward to every workout, so motivation isn’t an issue. Please keep this new aspect of the band gym going! Also finding the new layout easier to navigate. Fantastic as always, Dave and team.

Cheers

Dave!! It’s (The New Band Gym) very clean and user friendly looking. And I REALLY like the idea of providing a workout each day!

I love the new Band Gym format, Dave!! It’s very clean and user friendly looking. And I REALLY like the idea of providing a workout each day! Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the multitude of awesome choices we have in the BG, so this can be my “go to” when I’m not sure what I want to do for a day/week! I’m really excited about it and can’t wait for it to roll out!

Super job!!

You have changed my life with RBT and I can’t thank you enough.

Hi Dave,

Congrats on your Anniversary! You have changed my life with RBT and can’t thank you enough. I changed my whole attitude on working out and love the versatility of RBT. Love the updated Band Gym. I truly appreciate all your hard work and knowledge.

Have a great day.

I am really looking forward to the daily workouts.

Great job Dave!!

I am really looking forward to the daily workouts. I just renewed my Band Gym membership and cannot wait to start them. Thank you so much for always sharing new exercises and ideas in the use of resistance bands. They are my #1 exercise tool.

Your renovated Band Gym is fantastic! It’s a must for anybody who wants to do RBT, regardless of experience.

Dave,

Your renovated Band Gym is fantastic! It makes it super easy to find the right exercise at the right time. It also helped me discover resources that I didn’t know existed.

In short, it is a major value booster! I’d go so far as to say it’s a must for anybody who wants to do RBT, regardless of experience. For beginners, it provides clear and easy ways to get going. And for folks like me who have been loving bands for more than a year, it’s a convenient way to learn and refresh.

Bravo! Congrats on a job well done. Thanks for letting members be among the first to see it.

It will be a rare day when I enter a fitness center again. Thanks again.

Dave:

Just a note to thank you both for your product and what you offer and do. I found ResistanceBandTraining in a NY Times article that recommended you among others in evaluating resistance bands. It’s a new type of training for me. I’ve been a gym rat, off and on, since the mid-1990s, and have used a variety of trainers to educate me. Over the years, I’ve put together my own workout regimens. But the pandemic sidelined me, and I sat idle (I used the time to write a historical novel but that’s another story). A dear friend and former trainer of mine recommended resistance bands. So I tried them out, buying a $15 pair on Ebay. On the first workout, one snapped. I got what I paid for. Then I found you, bought one of your sets and now I’m into it. To get the feel of them, I’ve followed your workout schedule and your flow of exercises. I have changed up the routines a bit to fit my own system. But you’ve changed me, at the somewhat stubborn age of 73. I’m using my home office for workouts. It will be a rare day when I enter a fitness center again. Thanks again.

My very best,

Just wanted you to know you are making a difference.

Thank you, Dave, for these emails and the Boot Camp that I participated in this summer. At age 70, your videos and resistance bands are helping me to stay motivated to exercise as I integrate them into my regular exercise routine. Just wanted you to know you are making a difference.

First of all, I am ABSOLUTELY AMAZED at the amount of information and instruction I have received and continue to receive for my minimal investment.

Dave,

The bands arrived right on time and I wanted to get several workouts in before responding. First of all, I am ABSOLUTELY AMAZED at the amount of information and instruction I have received and continue to receive for my minimal investment. I am 67 years old and in reasonably good health but have never been able to stick with any free weight or weight machine program. I feel confident at this point that band training is the best way for me to try to maintain tone and strength through the aging process. Thank you for everything you have provided so far.

I found your fantastic site around March of this year and am stronger and fitter and have had no injuries (touch wood) that have prevented me from exercising.

Dave,

I started with bands back in May 2020, and followed other youtube videos and ended up injured. I found your fantastic site around March of this year and am stronger and fitter and have had no injuries (touch wood) that have prevented me from exercising. That to me is amazing and indirect evidence that your systems are based on actual physiological and mechanical knowledge and experience.

I would also like to say that the service received from Karen when ordering my bands from abroad, was second to none. You and your team appreciate the value of communication!

Please also keep the regular emails with workouts coming. I am also spreading the word of your systems and ethos, starting with my parents who are very keen to stay active in their 70’s.

Keep up the great work!

#1 Band Training Resource – Best Quality Personalized Customer Service – Fun Versatile Joint-Friendly Training at Any Age – Making Trainers and Coaches Clients Better

Dave,

When I saw your email about transparency, I just had to add that there is NOTHING like RBT. There may be hundreds of so-called fitness experts trying to sell bands online. But none of them:

Would take the time to reassure me about workouts before and after my upcoming surgery
Would give such helpful advice that’s personalized
Would be the first to tell someone NOT to buy a band if it wasn’t just right for their goals or needs

You genuinely care about helping people “get better” with bands and fitness in general. That is so much more important than a flashy website or an app. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. It has made a huge difference in my life. I’m sure that almost everybody you’ve connected with feels the same.

I know RBT is a business. But I have come to think of you as a most trusted coach. I’m grateful for all you do and grateful to have found RBT.

Many Thanks,
Michael H
