Hello Dave,

Thank you for the new customer emails. I’m a beginner with resistance bands, and the knowledge is helpful. The equipment I purchased is of excellent quality and ideally suited to my needs.

I came to RBT for a workout I could do at home, and your workouts are just right. I was surprised that your program would include metabolic along with muscle-building benefits. I’ve finally found a use for that extra bedroom.

I don’t have any criticism or suggestions for improving your system – you have done great things here, and I plan to continue. I’ve done many exercises: running, weights, swimming, treadmills, bikes, step aerobics, yoga, and tai chi. However, at this time in my life (early 70s), resistance band training best matches my body’s needs. I didn’t know I could still develop muscles like this.

I may set a new goal for my RBT training to see if I can get into good enough shape to take a martial arts class. For now, though, the 4-week Jump-Start Program keeps me busy.

Regards,

James R

Good morning, Dave!

A simple thank you for all that you do for the health and wellbeing of all!

I am a soon to be 65 year old personal trainer and massage therapist who uses bands regularly for myself and others.  I thank you for your steadfast promotion of such great equipment and for encouraging people to get moving and keep moving!  Your sane presentation of sustainable fitness practices is a great gift to all!

With gratitude and appreciation………wishing you good health and happiness,

Brian J – RBT Enthusiasts

Thanks, Dave!

I really can’t overemphasize how much you’ve helped me over the years and how much I’ve gained from your knowledge. You’re an amazing teacher and coach and I feel blessed to have stumbled on a Men’s Health article back in 2009 plugging your website. 

You (and your bands) single handedly brought my left shoulder back from unusable to fully functional and strong. Something I never thought possible. And at 42 years old, you set the bar for me as to what is possible with fitness as I age.

Sincerely,

Ben L – Band Gym Member and Long Time Follower

Good morning! Thank you for your step-by-step Mini-Course guide. As a seasoned exercise teacher, your training videos are excellent. Thank you for helping me rehab my shoulder!

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
