I discovered weightlifting when I was 38 and I am now 71. I loved everything about it and became stronger and more sculpted. Fast forward to age 65 and a multitude of soft-tissue injuries. I learned the hard way that as we age, our tissues don’t respond to stress the same as they did 20-30 years ago.

At a loss for what I could do safely, an online friend recommended band work and she followed the RBT program. I took the plunge and am glad I did. Full disclosure, those bands sat idle for a few months until I could safely use them, after a second rotator cuff surgery. I ate a little humble pie to come to terms with my new reality of giving up the iron and finally began the band work. What I appreciated so much was how strong I felt once again. I could do strength work without pain and without worry of tearing something again. If you are on the fence, take a leap of faith. You’ll be glad you did.

Hi Dave, 

I have nothing but praise for your band gym knowledge and commitment to better oneself. Because of you I feel that I can continue on with my health goals. So keep doing what you’re doing, it works !

Cheers to you,

Good morning Dave

I will turn 62 years old this coming May. I have been an All Access member for a number of years.  I truly value my membership for a number of reasons including:

• the incredible number of readily available workout plans which provides great variety
• the clear , well done videos you provide which often includes the science behind the workout 
• especially like when you provide the Seconds Pro template as really enjoy timed, interval training
• very grateful for how responsive you are whenever I email you a question 

I would highly recommend your programs and app to anyone who is looking for science based, well thought out workout plans. As an older fitness enthusiast, I favor bands and dumbbells as I find they are easier in my joints.

Here’s to a great 2024

Here’s my take on why I like the Band Gym so much.

Bands give me the range of resistance I need to do real strength training without damaging my joints. I don’t care if I never see the inside of a gym again. 

My band gym lives in a basket that fits in my hallway. I move a chair out of the way and the living room becomes a fully equipped gym. Anytime I want it, before breakfast or after work. No wasted time traveling back and forth, no waiting, broken machines or missing dumbbells.

But the best part of the Band Gym is you. I love the care and the expertise that you put into the routines. The fact that you’re always available to answer questions (and you have a sense of humor) is the icing on the cake. 

Just don’t retire!

Every breath God gives us is a blessing and I appreciate you sharing part of your breaths with us in the band gym…

Perhaps the greatest part of being a band gym member is the direct access we have to you. Your knowledge of anatomy and the functioning of the body as a whole unit is unmeasurable when it comes to putting together a program that keeps us challenged, motivated, and primed to be active in our 90’s. The ability to ask questions and timely responses directly from you is worth its weight in gold.. Thank you.

Secondly, the way that your programs sorta sneak up on you is amazing. What appears simplistic at first becomes amazingly challenging quickly. I believe this is due to incorporating the entire body to function as it was designed, as a complete instrument, so those stabilizer muscles that never get thought of become extremely important. It’s this simple approach to fitness that makes it easy for the layperson to follow, understand, and stay dedicated to, especially when one feels their body get back in balance and aches and pains ( bad ones) become a thing of the past.

I also appreciate how you consider how to incorporate our ideas like when you said you would try to come up with CrossFit style workouts when I asked you about it. It makes one feel like they belong and let’s be real, everyone wants to be heard.

Finally, I like how you share just enough of your life with us that you feel like an old friend even though we haven’t met in person. It’s truly enjoyable getting your emails, watching some of your posts etc.. If you ever thought about doing a live, follow along workout, I’m in.

Anyway, enjoy the day the Lord has given you, always be thankful, and maintain your humbleness. Thank you for all you do. I understand it’s part of your livelihood but you do seem to enjoy it. 

Perhaps Today,
