RBT Resistance Band Training

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!

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

Just a morning hello, and affirmation for your mission.
I’ve been slow off the mark really diving in. Variety of reasons, but it’s on me in the end. I know I have \to pick it up.

Either way, I wanted to check in and send you personal appreciation for what you do.

I specifically have been doing the hip stretches multiple times a week and I not only can tell during my workout but during daily common tasks that my body is more flexible

Dave,

I am on day 31 of the 45 Day Fit Camp. My husband and I are loving it. I specifically have been doing the hip stretches multiple times a week and I not only can tell during my workout but during daily common tasks that my body is more flexible. Along with good nutrition my body is feeling very good and full of energy to serve others around me.

Thank you for doing what you do.

Jaclyn

I thoroughly enjoyed the RBT 45 Day Fit Camp.

Dave,

I thoroughly enjoyed the RBT 45 Day Fit Camp. It gave me a better understanding of how to use bands plus it forced me to challenge myself which is something that’s been difficult for me since abandoning my Gym membership last year. I absolutely loved Week 3 and will use those workouts as my “go to” for the foreseeable future.

I am looking forward to continuing my RBT workouts and I signed up for The Band Gym yesterday.

Thank you for a wonderful workout experience!

As a senior citizen, it was very valuable to me to be instructed on how to modify the workout if it becomes too much.

Hi Dave,

Great camp. I thoroughly enjoyed it and looked forward to the constant correspondence. The pre workout instruction and explanation of the exercises makes everyone better. As a senior citizen, it was very valuable to me to be instructed on how to modify the workout if it becomes too much.

What a phenomenal tool!

All the best,

The instruction you provided on how to put your own workouts together was invaluable for future training.

Dave,

The camp has been very informative as to how to improve strength and overall body development using resistance band training. Your demonstration of each exercise and variations of the exercises has been great! Above all, the instruction you provided on how to put your own workouts together was invaluable for future training.

Thanks!

Dave

Thanks for a great camp. I enjoyed the wide variety of exercises, and your instructions and modification options. RBT is the cornerstone of my fitness activities and I consider it essential for me to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

I like the way you structured each week of the camp – attachment free, attached, AMRAP, 500/400 reps, and “greatest hits.” It’s a great way of introducing (or reminding those of us who are Band Gym members) of the formats we can use for programming band exercises.

I look forward to next year’s camp and to your continuous additions to the Band Gym.

All the best,

These last 4 weeks have been awesome and the absolute most consistent that I have been in working out in months. I feel SO much better, am moving easier and sleeping better.

Hey, Dave

First, let me tell you how much I am enjoying and benefitting from your 45 Day Fit Camp! These last 4 weeks have been awesome and the absolute most consistent that I have been in working out in months. I feel SO much better, am moving easier, and sleeping better. Each day starts and ends with mobility and flexibility thanks to your coaching. Thank you for offering the Camp – it’s a keeper!!

Thanks again for all you do!

You make it so easy to just follow along and learn from you and give all the information needed to be successful, and I just wanted to thank you again for doing that.

Hi Dave,

I just wanted to reach out and thank you again for the support and helping me figure out what band and programs to start with.

I did my first work out with the 28 day jumpstart program, and I feel great! As someone who used to play ice hockey in my younger days and being accustomed to strength training in the gym, I can see that using even the yellow resistance bands from my first workout gave me the same feeling after a hard workout using weights back in gym days. And it feels great.

I can tell it’s going to take a Short time to adjust to using the bands, changing them up between exercises and progressing in the resistance level during each exercise.

But, I’m super excited and much less anxious than I was when I initially purchased this. You make it so easy to just follow along and learn from you and give all the information needed to be successful, and I just wanted to thank you again for doing that. I thought you would appreciate the positive feedback. As a teacher, I realize how important that kind of feedback is.

Having just finished a six week body-weight only training program through an app, The personalization Of your program and in-depth information you give is second to none and makes the body weight program feel a little empty in actual instruction.

Gratefully,

Charles S

I REALLY appreciate you coming at this from a physical therapist’s perspective, with stability and injury prevention as explicit goals.

Accountability check-in/letting you know how Fit Camp is going for me.

1/3 of the way in already? Whoa.

Got a little more of a confidence boost this week. I didn’t meet any exercises that felt like they crushed me, and I even surprised myself by needing to go up to heavier bands with some exercises.

You may also have converted me to traditional splits. I used to think they were boring. Now I’ve come to appreciate waking up the next day with only some tired body parts instead of all of them.

I also want to tell you that I REALLY appreciate you coming at this from a physical therapist’s perspective, with stability and injury prevention as explicit goals.

Thanks again.

I LOVE this whole thing and am only disappointed in that it took me so long to decide to join up.

Dave,

I am a few days behind so I just did Week 1 – Workout 4. I LOVED IT! I haven’t had this much fun working out in ages.

I LOVE this whole thing and am only disappointed in that it took me so long to decide to join up. I am definitely joining The Band Gym after Camp.

Thank you!

Your products, bands, accessories etc are all excellent

Dave,

Can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate this “old school” way of doing business and how much benefit you’ve provided to me as well as my son Stephen as he starts band training for his elite high school swimmers. Additionally, your products, bands, accessories etc are all excellent. You will continue to see regular business from us!

Your 28 day challenge narrowed my focus and I feel I’ve benefited from it

Hi Dave,

I’m just finishing the 28 Challenge. I really enjoyed it. You have so many informative videos that I’ve often been guilty of paralysis by analysis when it comes to band training because there were so many possibilities. But your 28 day challenge narrowed my focus and I feel I’ve benefited from it. Thanks!

Absolutely LOVE the training programs you had me order. It has changed my life! I can move again!

Hi Dave,

Just wanted to give you a follow up email – absolutely LOVE the training programs you had me order. It has changed my life! I can move again! My shoulders are almost back to normal and I have lost weight and muscles are showing through! Flexibility is coming but still a little stiff in the hamstrings as my job is to sit all day! But working on it.

I joined your phenomenal RBT Program in April of 2018 and it was the best decision I have ever made regarding exercise strategies.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for helping me with my Visa Gift Card. I presented you with an unusual transaction and you immediately went to work on it. You are a man of your word. On your website you state that you handle many customer issues personally and I was so pleased to hear you answer your phone when I called. That is GREAT customer service that I appreciate and admire. I’ll certainly be purchasing more equipment from you!

I joined your phenomenal RBT Program in April of 2018 and it was the best decision I have ever made regarding exercise strategies. I am about to turn 68 years of age in August and I was really bored with the standard weight lifting protocols. I was not improving myself, but instead recovering from small, irritating injuries. My mobility and flexibility were lessening. Then one day, my brother and I were discussing how best to exercise at our advanced age and he mentioned a man by the name of Dave Schmitz, the Band Man, out of Wisconsin. I went to the RBT website that day, read your explanation of the program and immediately ordered a band package.

Not only are the bands amazingly effective, but they are flat out FUN to use. I always look forward to my workouts, they can be done almost anywhere and I can exhaust myself thoroughly. I am done with “going to the gym”. I always look forward to seeing your latest video in my email, it’s one of the highlights of my day. The videos are thorough and entertaining. I am a Head Custodian at an elementary school and I demonstrated the bands to the gym teacher. He was so impressed by your program, that he incorporated some of your basic band fundamentals into his curriculum. The Principal of the school was fascinated by how the students were so eager to use the bands, to them it was fun and not something they dreaded.

Thank you again Dave!

Sincerely,

You have really provided tons of value for an unbelievable price and you have put a lot of time, effort, energy, passion, and hard hard work into this. I love it!

Dave

Just a quick email to say keep up the good work. I love the gym. I love how much information is in here. Everyday I get up and get to your gym and learn something new to apply to me and all of my clients. You have really provided tons of value for an unbelievable price and you have put a lot of time, effort, energy, passion, and hard hard work into this. I love it!

On another note, My brother and I have grown our gym now to over 300 members and will be referring all of our clients to your website to buy bands and accessories from you. Thank you for being so professional. Thank you for being so thorough. Thank you for being so committed to your craft. It is a real credit to our profession to have people like you creating platforms like this. I am sure I will have questions later for you. I look forward to getting better with bands. Enjoy your weekend.

Your quantum bands are no joke. Best out there hands down.

Hi Dave,

After 4+ years, it finally happened, a red band had a cut in it – almost halfway through it. So it had to be retired. Even so, I tried pulling it to break the band but I couldn’t do it. Your quantum bands are no joke. Best out there hands down. After cutting it with a knife, I could definitely see the quality of your bands and the way they are layered. Just ordered another red band.

Have a great day Dave!

Regular training with bands has been an integral part of my exercise program and ability to keep playing a level (on tennis) I could not have imagined

Dave,

I’ve been training with bands for about seven years. I wish I was introduced to bands at a younger age. Today at 60 I’m beating kids on the tennis court half my age. I know that things can change in a heartbeat so I’m grateful to God everyday that I can still have fun. Regular training with bands has been an integral part of my exercise program and ability to keep playing at a level I could not have imagined. Thank you!

I wouldn’t have been able to do that without all those RBT (Band Gym) workouts.

Hi, Dave,

The Band Gym has helped me so much in the COVID era. From taking some bands to the park in good weather, to stretching or having a workout at home in winter, it’s improved my body and mood.

I recently rejoined my local gym to swim and take a few classes, and am amazed at how well I’m moving in the classes. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without all those RBT workouts. Thank you, and keep those workouts coming!

Richard A.
Band Gym Member since 2019

Before, I could not imagine training without my gym. Now, I cannot imagine training without my bands.

Hello Dave,

It is hard to believe that COVID has been with us a full year. I believe that bad events often make us better– and there’s no finer example of that than my own experience with RBT. Like many of your Band Gym members, I found your site out of desperation when my gym closed. I had no idea what bands were all about. I always associated them with click-bait articles showing buff supermodels claiming amazing results using cheap tube bands. I’ve never been happier to be wrong!

Your Band Gym has provided a year of learning. Before, I could not imagine training without my gym. Now, I cannot imagine training without my bands. They have not replaced weights or other forms of exercise in my routine. But they have really enhanced my enjoyment of them. They are also preparing my body for years of joyous mobility as I age– something no other form of strength training does as effectively.

I look forward to continuing to learn from your emails and videos. It took something as bad as COVID lockdowns for me to find you. But I’m confident I’ll be enjoying RBT long after COVID is gone.

Cheers,

Dave is a great coach who is very passionate, motivated, and innovative. Dave walks you through each workout step by step and provides helpful tips for every exercise

Dave’s Band Gym has been a game changer for me. I am 35 years old and have had 3 shoulder surgeries from football and baseball with the last one being 15 years ago. I have completed 2 Band Gym training programs and my shoulder has never felt better! I have been to physical therapy countless times over the years. Nothing has worked for my shoulder pain and tightness like the Band Gym. Of course, I have done “bands” before given this is a staple in physical therapy. However, training with Dave and his bands is on a whole different level. Dave is a great coach who is very passionate, motivated, and innovative. Dave walks you through each workout step by step and provides helpful tips for every exercise. My overall physique, muscle tone, and stability have changed significantly and I feel better and look better. So much that my wife wants to start training with bands! I am a believer because I am getting results. Prior to the Band Gym, I was playing competitive basketball 3X per week and attending fitness classes at my Health Club. No doubt I will continue to get better and stay better with bands by continuing to train with Dave’s training programs both new and old while still having fun at the Club. I can’t wait to get back on the hardwood. I know I am bigger, stronger, and faster than I was 3 months ago! Thanks Dave!!!

Dave did it first, he does it safe, and he does it the best.

Dave,

I have been using the quantum bands and following your band training advice since 2012. Lately, due to the pandemic there have been a lot of other coaches promoting band usage and training techniques. Although I am happy that they are using bands, people need to know that “Dave Schmitz resistancebandtraining.com” has been doing this long before anyone else. Dave did it first, he does it safe, and he does it the best.

Keep it up,

I’m amazed how I’m able to move from exercise to exercise with the bands and how quickly the time passes. I’m delighted with the way my muscles feel after band workouts, especially how different they feel compared to after lifting weights.

Hi Dave,

It’s great going with the resistance bands! I’m really enjoying them.

Exactly as you say, I can feel them helping me maintain a high level of fitness and strength. I decided to work exclusively with the bands over a two-week period, keeping the dumbbells idle. I’m amazed how I’m able to move from exercise to exercise with the bands and how quickly the time passes. I’m delighted with the way my muscles feel after band workouts, especially how different they feel compared to after lifting weights. After strenuous workouts with the dumbbells, whatever muscle group I focus on often feels sore for a full day or two. With the resistance bands, I am able to work shoulders and chest one day, biceps another, legs another, with muscles feeling taut afterward, not sore. This week I did band workouts Monday through Friday, some days moderate effort, some days full-on, then today, Saturday, went for a speed walk with my hiking poles. (I keep the poles short length and swing them around in different movements while I’m walking, stretching my arms as I go. It feels therapeutic and adds to my effort while walking.) After two weeks, I can feel the beneficial effects of the resistance bands.

I appreciate your note about how it seems the young guys want to build bulk while the older guys are looking for overall fitness and strength. At 72 I’m certainly not looking to gain huge muscle mass, but rather to stay fit, strong and agile. That said, now, after a couple of weeks with band-only workouts, I may slowly incorporate dumbbells into the workout after I’ve warmed up and done a number of exercises with the bands.

Perhaps most important though, is that as I workout with the bands, feeling my body going through the moves, I can sense that this is something I can do over the long haul without injuring myself. I’ve endured plenty of sports injuries through the decades, and beyond the pain aspect, they’ve taken me out of my game. Injury recovery periods are time lost, and at my age, that’s something I feel I cannot afford.

Thank you for reaching out for providing a great product,

I love your band routines and will reward myself on my 65th birthday in April by joining your ‘Band Gym’.

Dave,

The new store setup looks great. The gloves I bought from you are fantastic! One of your competitors prices his gloves at $34.95. Your design (with the velcro closure under the wrist) is superior, so you could definitely up your price a bit. I’m a soon-to-be 65-year-old ‘farm boy’ from Iowa – who has lived in metro Atlanta since 1989. I love your band routines and will reward myself on my 65th birthday in April by joining your ‘Band Gym‘.

I started training with you almost two years ago and want to tell you that it has completely transformed me physically.

I started training with you almost two years ago and want to tell you that it has completely transformed me physically. I am much stronger and flexible today than when I started training with resistance bands and I have you to thank for that.

Keep up the great work and keep those tips and new exercises coming. I truly do look forward to them!!!

Thanks Dave!!!

I have not had any of the soreness that used to be a regular part of gym life. That’s enabled me to train longer and harder. There’s just no better feeling than the metabolic “pump” I get after an RBT workout.

A progress report: I added bands to my workout regimen right after my gym closed for lockdown last spring. My initial goals were modest: I was not overweight. I just wanted to not lose strength until my gym reopened. But once I got started with bands, I was hooked. I never went back to my gym. I’m now 20 pounds lighter and noticeably stronger. More importantly, I have not had any of the soreness that used to be a regular part of gym life. That’s enabled me to train longer and harder. There’s just no better feeling than the metabolic “pump” I get after an RBT workout. I hope I’ll be able to have that feeling for years to come.

So blessed to have discovered you, Dave! RBT (with you) has really shifted my perspective about fitness. Now, I can’t live without it and I wouldn’t recommend any other bands besides yours.

What a great way to serve your customers. I was all about dumbbells in the past. But once I hit 40 my body really started to feel it.

I am a firm believer in RBT. I have at least 10 dumbbell sets at home. I also have a TRX, Lebert bars, a pull-up bar, several kettlebells, slam balls, medicine ball, Swiss ball, sliders, tube bands, therabands, a jump box, and I’m probably missing a couple of other equipment pieces that I invested in but it’s somewhere in storage and out of sight because I don’t use it. My quantum bands are so useful for all kinds of fitness workouts and it is also so great that we can strengthen different body systems.

So blessed to have discovered you, Dave! RBT (with you) has really shifted my perspective about fitness. Now, I can’t live without it and I wouldn’t recommend any other bands besides yours. I plan on investing in a green thunderband really soon! It’s my way of celebrating something great that happened to me in my work.

At 56 I train with the bands and I love all the different workouts you provide for us older guys.

Dave,

I’ve been utilizing my basement to help my athletes out. This past summer I had over 60 athletes. I can only work with 12 athletes at a time in my basement. We make it work. My athletes love band training. We train in acceleration, plyometrics, and agility. I wish I had the bands when I was their age but at 56 I train with the bands and I love all the different workouts you provide for us older guys. Thank you again for what you do.
