I’m an avid golfer with a single digit handicap. I walk 18 holes 2 days a week, with no back pain – not bad for 63 years old.

Dave,

My trainer (at One Fit Body) incorporated resistance band work into my weekly exercise routine almost three years ago. My balance, strength, and stability have improved, along with my overall fitness. I’m an avid golfer with a single digit handicap. I walk 18 holes 2 days a week, with no back pain – not bad for 63 years old. Thank you for your weekly exercise videos. I continue to expand my resistance band menu of options, which keeps my weekly program fresh and interesting. I take at least one band wherever I travel maintaining the discipline and staying fit. Thanks again!

My business model wouldn’t be possible without your bands

Dave

My business model wouldn’t be possible without your bands. The simplicity and transportability of your bands makes any workout possible for any level client in any location.

From the inside of Morning Bird Studio, my business, to a hotel room in Tokyo, NYC or London, the same intensity is available, repeatable and sustainable, thus keeping my clients consistent with their fitness journey.

Thank you, Dave. You’ve helped make my career more rewarding with better results for my people and I appreciate it.

It wasn’t until I discovered your website that a whole new way of training was a real possibility for me! Truly AWESOME!

Dave.

I purchased the Total Fitness Package and I must say, I am seriously impressed! Quantum bands are the highest quality I’ve ever used. I’ve been researching how to train around nagging joint injuries, and as a lifetime martial artist/weight trainer (30 plus years) and my career as a Firefighter/Paramedic, I’ve accumulated quite a few. At 42 years of age, I knew that certain exercises had to be replaced or even jettisoned from my routine. I tried other bands (tubular) and they were just “ok.” It wasn’t until I discovered your website that a whole new way of training was a real possibility for me!

I absolutely love band training with Quantum bands, and they’re 80-90% of how I stay strong and mobile. Combined with a few bodyweight and kettlebell movements, I feel better and stronger than I have in years, and I fully believe that band training will be embraced by most people as they age, especially the aging athlete. I really enjoy your videos and I use them often. Like contrast deadlifts and “big boy curls.” The single band overhead press in the scapular plane is a lifesaver, and I can actually do upright rows with bands and they feel AWESOME! I highly recommend your products and I’m so thankful that I’ve found a way to stay strong and save my joints. Truly AWESOME!

Thanks and God bless.

The one huge thing I love about you is no matter how big your business grows you always get back to individual emails!

Ok great thanks! I’ve been following you since 2008 and WOW you have really evolved over the years – congrats!! The one huge thing I love about you is no matter how big your business grows you always get back to individual emails!

After researching many band options, I was most impressed by the fact that you are “all-in” when it comes to bands, as opposed to just offering another one of hundreds of fitness related products…

The Total Fitness Package is actually quite impressive, and I’ve already got my first workout in. I have a worked out on and off for my whole adult life. I have power blocks, Lifeline Gym bands, kettlebells, and various workout options. Years ago I was a Golds Gym kind of guy, had Olympic weights and power rack at home, etc. But, you know how it is…you get bored, or lose interest, pressed for time, or get older and start to get injured every time you jump back in and start working out. For all those reasons, I was really intrigued when I found some videos of people using the flat loop bands. After researching many options I was most impressed by the fact that you are “all-in” when it comes to bands, as opposed to just offering another one of hundreds of fitness related products, AND, the information you share online is pretty extensive. So, I am really glad I found your site on the web and super pleased with my initial purchase from RBT. Your bands are no joke! Ha, and I was worried that the bands would be too weak in the package I bought and figured I’d have to immediately buy some heavier ones. I’ll be okay with these for a little while!

NICE JOB, and THANK YOU!

After having not done a single push-up in nearly a year, (because of significant shoulder pain) I decided to give them a try after my band workout yesterday. I rapidly and easily cranked out a set of 30 inclined (feet raised higher than head) push-ups without shoulder pain!

Hi Dave,

I wanted to share a little ‘progress report’. I’m the old guy that had a lot of shoulder pain after rotator cuff surgeries on both shoulders (my right shoulder twice). I have gained so much strength and mobility through full-body band workouts, with emphasis on shoulders, when nothing else produced results.

Prior to starting to workout with bands, I used to do a lot of pushups, but ended up having to stop due to shoulder pain. So, after having not done a single push-up in nearly a year, I decided to give them a try after my band workout yesterday. I rapidly and easily cranked out a set of 30 inclined (feet raised higher than head) push-ups without shoulder pain! I only stopped because I didn’t want to over-do it. I know this probably sounds silly, but it was a great metric for me to see the progress I’ve made using bands!

As always, thanks for all you do, and keep up the good work!

I have never been happier with any training equipment than I am with your bands!!

Dave,

I have never been happier with any training equipment than I am with your bands!!
They are great, to be honest. I take them on every business trip I go on and I use them daily at home.

I also talk about them to all my friends or anyone who sees me in the park, airport, or anywhere I use them.
If you ever want or need someone to help sell them I think I am your guy. 🙂

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for delivering an excellent product. I will be ordering more bands to augment my training program soon. By the way, the training videos are top notch too.

I’m very grateful for your coaching expertise and inspiration. I most likely would not be in this business if it wasn’t for you.

Dave,

Just wanted to give you more feedback — of which I’m sure you’re getting a lot — of how great your new website is! It’s awesome how much information you provide. It’s easy to find, well organized, and it’s totally free! You’ve provided many email responses to me over the years and continue to be an unmet mentor to me, not only in my personal fitness journey, but in my personal training business as well. I’m very grateful for your coaching expertise and inspiration. I most likely would not be in this business if it wasn’t for you. Thank you, Dave!

I really thought I would miss traditional weight training, but I don’t! I am enjoying the variety that bands have added to my workouts.

Hi Dave! Just wanted to say that I am loving the content! I really thought I would miss traditional weight training, but I don’t! I am enjoying the variety that bands have added to my workouts and the fact that they can even complement and enhance my weight training! I don’t enjoy cardio, but your cardio videos have been a game changer there, too!

Just wanted to say I appreciate all that you do and have been sharing your training ideas with family and friends!

Thank you so much!

After 5 years of continued pain and “maintenance” exercises for my shoulder, I put my faith in you.

After 5 years of continued pain and “maintenance” exercises for my shoulder, I put my faith in you. Because of your one email explaining your rotator cuff issues and taking the leap to quit external rotations, etc. and focus on closed-chain exercises, I’m can proudly say I am able to complete a full series of push-ups (and even do high pulls, the worst pain previously) without any pain. You’ve really improved my everyday life and I am forever loyal to you & your system!

With heartfelt thanks and continued inspiration,

I am in my 80th Year training clients….. Your tutorials are a great source for me.

I am a personal trainer and always tell clients that when going on holiday remember to pack a band. So I am in my 80th Year (train clients half my age) and also judo coach since my 20’s. Will continue to refer my pupils to this site.

You are also one of the reasons I decided to to go back to school and get my DPT.

Hey Band-MAN,

I wanted to take a minute and tell you thanks, I have been following you for about 10 years now. I have the advanced band set that is serving me well still, all my bands are from you and I have recommended you to all my friends, family, and others. I have even given single band sets as presents. You have been an incredible resource for me over the years while working in the fitness arena. You are also one of the reasons I decided to to go back to school and get my DPT. It has not been easy I needed to fight for every pre-requisite course just to be able to apply. I’ve got to say I am super excited I made in, it’s the perfect fit for me. I am now in my second year of my DPT program and I am getting ready for my second internship and I’m still benefiting from the knowledge that I gained from you over the years

I’ve followed you for years from the UK and all the information you provide is first class. The new website is great and I always refer people on to your site for more help, especially via the health events at 7 Futures Wellbeing and Resilience. I myself have used bands for years and within my gym. All my Muay Thai fighters use them within their training programs to great effect also. Great job and much appreciated!

While Dave’s knowledge and expertise is tops in the industry, it is his ability to connect with our coaches, teachers and students through a hands-on approach that leaves a lasting impression.

Dave’s 2-day visit to the Punahou Department of Athletics is the gift that keeps on giving! In addition to significantly impacting our student athletes and Athletic Performance program, our Physical Education faculty has made training with bands an integral part of their curriculum. While Dave’s knowledge and expertise is tops in the industry, it is his ability to connect with our coaches, teachers and students through a hands-on approach that leaves a lasting impression. RBT continues to help us train explosive athletes and contributes greatly to our long term athletic development plan. We can’t wait to have him back!

Thank you Dave.

Even though you are king of your castle you still make sure to personally get back with people…..that’s unheard of in this day and time.

I was wondering if you saw her using the red band! Awesome stuff!! Your new site is amazing Dave!! You really give so much free stuff!! But the most amazing thing is that even though you are king of your castle you still make sure to personally get back with people instead of having a representative chasing down all your emails questions etc.. Now that’s unheard of in this day and time and again I thank you from the bottom of my heart…

The resistance band training I’ve been doing over the past few months have resulted in a remarkable improvement in flexibility and strength. Four-hour gigs, which used to leave me almost unable to lift my right arm, are now easy for me!

Hi Dave,

You’ve answered all my questions! I have to say that my band workouts have been more effective than I would have thought possible. My full-body routine takes about an hour to complete, every other day.

I’m 60, and play drums in two local bands. I’ve had rotator cuff repair surgeries on both shoulders – my left shoulder back in 2005, and twice on my right shoulder – first in 2012, and again in 2014. Since then, I’ve had so much pain and fatigue in my right shoulder when playing that I was afraid it was going permanently sideline me… The resistance band training I’ve been doing over the past few months have resulted in a remarkable improvement in flexibility and strength. Four-hour gigs, which used to leave me almost unable to lift my right arm, are now easy for me! No other strength training method I tried ever helped nearly as much…

So, thanks again for your efforts to get band training info to the masses – I’m sure you’ve had a positive effect on more folks than you know 🙂

I had Bodylastics before Quantum Bands. These bands are much better.

I had bodylastics before Quantum Bands. These bands are much better. Once you get used to not having the handles you realize that you can get a much better workout without stopping to clip handles on and off. You can work out much harder and faster without stopping to transition.

RBT system is definitely a way to keep going “hard” and feel those muscles working hard without overloading your joints.

Exactly! Great article, Dave! It’s exactly what I have been preaching to my clients and weight-lifting buddies for years! We have all been there, especially if you are a “meathead”, pushing our bodies from workout to workout and keep adding weight to the bar, but unfortunately it catches up to you eventually, not necessarily at an older age, and when it does it is often too late … RBT system is definitely a way to keep going “hard” and feel those muscles working hard without overloading your joints … I have been using bands for years now, and as a coach and physical therapist I can say that bands have been a very important part of my programs for years, with great results!

Hi Dave,

I use your bands and guidance all the time. Honestly, when it comes to bands, your words are gospel. I will say that band training has changed my approach to a lot of things.

Thanks and have a happy Thanksgiving.

I am a pretty fit 58-year-old, and a believer now that band training can and does as a singular tool, provide a path to both muscular strength and definition.

Dave

Thank you Dave. As a longtime free weight strength trainer, athlete and personal trainer, I have in the last five years experienced the great benefits of specifically designed, program based band training. I am a pretty fit 58-year-old, and a believer now that band training can and does as a singular tool, provide a path to both muscular strength and definition. I have trained just using bands, and they absolutely do provide positive results. Yes, there is sometimes a different feel, or “pump”, than that which one may feel using free weights, especially when going heavy, but band training works. Glad there are passionate, informed professionals like you that provide accurate, depth-based information.

Before RBT… My back was crap, I had to give up surfing and was in constant pain, but not anymore. I was back on the board in April and almost every day is now pain-free…..You’re a game changer.

Hi Dave,

I started bands about 4 years ago. I have recruited at least a dozen friends in Australia who now regularly work out with bands. If I wasn’t working in the coffee industry, I’d be a high school PE teacher, coaching basketball or some sort of football, and WITHOUT DOUBT, my classes would include bands and my players would be training with bands.

So, thank you for what you do. Your videos, emails, blogs, posts etc have revolutionized my exercise regime and my understanding of core-related functional strength.

You’re a game changer.

I now have core and lean muscle strength I didn’t have from well…up until I was 36 years old. My lower back was crap, I had to give up surfing and was in constant pain.

But not anymore! I was back on the board in April for the first time in 5 years and almost every day is pain-free for my back.

I do bands about 5-6 times a week. I should stretch more because it feels so good, but that’s about all I can improve.

Keep up the great work. Thanks for what you do.

Rock on,
Derek

I was going to crossfit with my daughter. I loved the intensity, but my body didn’t…..back to bands … feeling much better. Thank You

I am working through bicep tendonitis. I was going to crossfit with my daughter. I loved the intensity, but my body didn’t so I am back to bands and only some weights. It is feeling much better. Thanks again and I will let you know about the workouts.

You turned me to the shoulder distraction stretching when I was going through physical therapy for strained RTC. My shoulders feel like new! I always do the combined distraction stretching with a pec minor stretch for posture. Thanks Dave!

I did P90X3, Body Beast, TRX, etc. etc. But I always noticed that I had the best results from the bands.

Dave,

Thank you for the quick response. I love the program – I had all your dvd’s about approx. 6 years ago and used them exclusively for about a year and a half and had great results. I was very fit/athletic. Then for variety sake, I did P90X3, Body Beast, TRX, etc. etc. But I always noticed that I had the best results from the bands. Anyway, after losing much of my strength and fitness over the period of several months – I knew I would only use bands from here on. And I feel like it has been an excellent decision. I bought Tom Brady’s book for the fun of it and it’s good it confirms my decision. But for workouts – your programs are the greatest – the best. I appreciate that it is a Mom and Pop shop and you put your best efforts in every day.

BTW, your response is what I thought and it looks like I need to pump up the volume.

Sincerely,

Since starting RBT, I am down 40 lbs with 28 more to go. RBT makes me feel great and I can see progress every week!

Hey Dave,

Man getting old does suck. My goal was always to stay as strong as possible, unfortunately as you know lifting in the older years can become a chore especially on our joints. At a very young age of 52, I had bilateral knee replacements which lead to several more surgeries due to major complication. 3 year later, several surgeries and 50 lbs heavier, I thought my workout days were over. Then I stumbled upon your site. I saw my chance that just maybe I can do this even though most people with my complications could hardly move, much less exercise. Fast forward 2 years, I think I have just about purchased every one of your programs and now I have joined The Band Gym. It’s great to now have you as my personal coach all the time!! Since starting RBT, I am down 40 lbs with 28 more to go. I may not be able to hit rock bottom on the overhead squat but for me and where I came from, just squatting is awesome. I still have some post pain issues but RBT makes me feel great and I can see progress every week!! I just had x rays taken last month and the replacement looked awesome! RBT is the freaking bomb!! Dave, Thanks for doing what you do, it has been a life-changer for me in so many ways!!!

(At 74), I feel resistance band training with your Quantum Bands have absolutely changed my way of working out.

Hi Dave

My son, who is in college, laughed at me when he saw that I was working out with the bands instead of the weights. (After training with Bands for 6 weeks) He said he hit the rim at mid forearm, which he said he has never done before. He is so convinced that it’s a result from working out with the bands during our Family vacation.

Dave

My son, who is in college, laughed at me when he saw that I was working out with the bands instead of the weights. I tried explaining to him that I could no longer lift those heavy weights at 51 like I could at 31, but he wasn’t convinced. Maybe he just doesn’t like the thought that I can’t lift those heavy weights like I used to.

No matter what I said I couldn’t convince him to give them a try. He does a lot of power lifting and thinks the bands are not for serious weight lifters. This past week we went on a family vacation down to Florida and he didn’t have easy access to a weight room. Out of desperation he agreed to workout with the bands so that he wouldn’t have to take time off from his routine. Fortunately I brought my full set of bands to include the green bands, handles and utility strap. He combined the green and purple bands in his squats since he squats around 280. Overall he was very surprised at what a workout he got from the bands.

After getting home from vacation, he played in a pickup game of basketball and later told me he couldn’t believe how explosive he could move and jump. He said he had hit the rim at mid forearm, which he said he has never done before. He is so convinced that it’s a result from working out with the bands that he wants me to order him the heavier bands for squatting. Since the green bands were not strong enough for him I thought I should get him the next ones up, which are the blue bands. He wants me to get him the blue and grey but I’m thinking the blue might challenge him enough based on the product description.

Thank you,
Jim

Unlike several other programs I’ve tried over the years and didn’t finish, this one kept me motivated, injury free and progressing every week

Hi Dave,

I thought I would send you a quick update on my progress. I am finishing up week 5 of the 12 week BandStrong program and it’s going very well. I am glad you suggested that I continue on and not repeat the first week. Since then I have been able to complete all of the rounds as required, although not easily, and have made great improvements overall. I was going to ask you about how to handle the sore knees I have experienced over the last year, but the training has improved the strength of my knees that I no longer have the pain.

I have also been tracking my resting heart rate with my Fitbit over the last 7 months. Since starting the RBT training, my resting heart rate has gone down on average by 5 BPM. That’s an unexpected surprise that I’m really happy about as well.

My wife started this week with the “4 Week Band Starter Program” since she doesn’t feel she is ready for the Band Strong Program. I am wondering if I should order the orange bands for her since she struggles a little with the overhead press type exercises with the red.

I am also considering ordering a pair of the green bands for me. The bands I have are certainly enough for me as I go through the BandStrong program, but I thought I could start incorporating the green as I improve over the coming weeks.

My initial concerns going into this program were my joints and excessive soreness and that still has not been an issue.

Your coaching videos and PDFs have been awesome and really appreciated! I look forward to progressing further!

Thank you,
Jim W.

I started with tube shaped bands, which were ok, but once I discovered your Quantum Bands , I gave my Tubes away.

Hi Dave,

I’ve been using your bands exclusively for the past 2 years since a major shoulder surgery. At the time I feared lifting days were done. I was 61 years old and just assume that I’d waste away, like most my age do. They were, but your product is, at least for me, way superior to lifting. At that time, the PT was rehabbing it with bands and I decided to use bands for everything as well. I started with tube shaped bands, which were ok, but once I discovered your product, I gave them away.

I’m currently age 63 and workout with your bands 45 minutes every other day. I do sprints on a schwinn airdyne on the alternate days, never miss a workout. Today I look and feel better than I have since my late 30s.

I’m attaching some pictures to show you progress. Thanks for creating a simple, honest, no bullshit way for older people to stay in great shape.

I still use these exercises today and they are a big part of my success as a football player” – University of Iowa Football

“As a punter, I rely heavily on explosion and flexibility. Which is exactly what Dave Schmitz was able to give me. His band exercises gave me a tremendous increase in flexibility and an increase in my leg speed. I still use these exercises today and they are a big part of my success as a football player”

It just amazes me that I can take a big rubber band and work out until I get the same burn that I could barely achieve with a ½ ton of weight on a machine or bar.

Hi Dave,

Just wanted to say thanks for all the information and exercises that you have shared with me. I am starting to grow my workout business more now and my new clients are loving the resistance workouts. Many have been in gym situations where all they did was burpees and lift huge amounts of weights. They are enjoying the fact that they are getting a great workout and don’t have the joint issues that go along with 300# squats. Love the workouts myself also. It just amazes me that I can take a big rubber band and work out until I get the same burn that I could barely achieve with a ½ ton of weight on a machine or bar. Thanks again for all the goodies.

For the first time in a long time I believe that I can get fit and strong without worrying about my knees and ankles

Hi Dave,

I have to tell you that my first week of using the bands has been absolutely amazing. My legs feel totally different and my knees are feeling better already. The dynamic stabilizer band is tough but definitely can feel results from using it. My favorite exercises are the back pedals and shuffle–they feel amazing. For the first time in a long time I believe that I can get fit and strong without worrying about my knees and ankles–that’s saying a lot from a 58-year old who is 50 pounds overweight. Thank you so much for your help in picking the right bands and workout for my current level of fitness and areas of weakness.

All the best,

I found that a band complex is an awesome way to get a great workout without the injury risks of a barbell complex

As a fan of band training, I just had to send you a shout out about using band exercises for complexes. As you know, barbell complexes are a popular training protocol that provides a combined strength and cardio challenge. They also are very efficient in terms of getting a good workout in a short period of time. The problem for me, and I suspect for a lot of older trainees, is that barbell training can easily lead to low back or shoulder injuries. Power cleans, snatches, bent over rows, upright or shoulder rows, even with just an empty Olympic bar, can create a high risk of injury for a lot of people. Adding load in the lifting phase of a barbell complex also requires dealing with slowing down movements in the eccentric phase to avoid putting undue strain on muscle attachments.

I found that a band complex is an awesome way to get a great workout without the injury risks of a barbell complex. Also, because bands de-load in the eccentric phase, they are a great way to train when I’m feeling sore. And as you know, bands allow me to train explosively (with fast movements) to train for power. I train these for 5-minute intervals (going through the circuit as many times as I can in that 5-minute period, no rest between exercises), resting about 2 minutes, and then repeating or doing another circuit. Here are two circuits I’ve used recently.

Single band, unattached

SLD x 6
Hammer curl x 6
High pull x 6
Front Squat x 6
Press x 6
Pull apart with reverse lunge x 6
Single band attached

Standing Row x 6 each side
Incline press x 6
Halo or overhead band hold with step back x 6
Lateral lunge or shuffle x 6 (each side)
Lunge (stepping toward attachment point) x 6 each leg

Thanks for all that you do.

I would often get hurt using weights and doing high intensity plyometric type training. Your workouts are fun and challenging. I look forward to going into my basement and working out every day.

Hi Dave,

I want to thank you for putting out such a great product!

I’m a 55-year-old ex-professional baseball player. I played 8 years for the Cleveland Indians & Minnesota Twins. Since my playing days, I’ve always tried to stay in shape. I have tried many different fitness options, from free weights to workout videos. Most were fine when I was younger, however, I found as I was getting older I was more prone to injury. I would often get hurt using weights and the high-intensity plyometric type training videos. It would limit me from training. I would have to miss workouts while I was injured.

Finally 4 years ago after never being seriously injured I tore the labrum in my left shoulder lifting weights. I haven’t had the surgery yet to repair it. Three months ago I started using your band work out and following the videos from your website. It changed the way I can work out. I was able to strengthen my shoulder by using the bands with assisted movements. Now I can perform many of your exercises with heavy resistance. I have gotten my entire upper body back into shape. I can do push-ups and many shoulder exercises with no pain. Best of all I can throw batting practice to my kids with no pain in my shoulder.

I just had to send you this note to thank you! Your band workouts not only helped my shoulder but gave me an overall fitness level that makes me feel great. Your workouts are fun and challenging. I look forward to going into my basement and working out every day.

Thanks again,
