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

Dave,

I enjoy being a member for some time now! Love every bit of it. I am currently Active Duty Army and it’s my go to! Not only do I feel good but I see the results. 

I have a band gym at home!  

 Thanks!

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,

What I love about being an all access member of The Band gym for years now is that you get incredible access to the best resistance band training tips and workouts in the world. You also have direct access to the man who essentially brought this wonderful style of training to the masses. RBT and The Band Gym  is awesome for any age group but it’s ESPECIALLY fantastic for those of us 40 and older who might be a little banged up from sports or weight training. 

If you want to improve every aspect of your fitness level while relieving joint pain and improving mobility and stability anywhere, anytime, do yourself a huge favor and purchase a set of Quantum bands and then enroll in the band gym. It’s one of the best investments you’ll ever make for your health and fitness.

Where do I start on the reasons I love the Band Gym. Around 2 years ago I was looking for a simpler way to work out with our weight equipment in our gym here at our 55 plus resort in Southern Texas. I wasn’t in love with working out with weights and weight machines.

Then I came across Dave and his Band Gym web page.  I knew I had found my way to exercise Nirvana. I love the ease of using the bands.  I don’t have to add or take off weight to adjust the exercise.  I just step forward or backward till I get the tension I desire for the exercise. I can take them with me anywhere I go and can always find a way to workout with them.  When we travel I have a set of bands with me so I can get my exercise in for the day. Whether the hotel we are staying has a gym or not.

I appreciate how he goes through each exercise so you can see how it is to be done. As a Band Gym member I have access to all his videos and articles. I have not once been sorry that I have joined the group and have gotten more from my membership than I paid for it .  

Dave does give you more than what you have paid for.

As an All Access Member of the Band Gym, I enjoy the wealth of helpful information and clear and concise instruction that is available to me.  Whether it is the Programs & Workouts or the Exercise Vault, the videos and instructions provide exactly the type of information I need to meet my fitness goals of “usable strength” and overall muscle tone.  

At various times in the past, I have tried to follow weight training programs and was never able to sustain them, whether due to injury or lack of proper instruction and technique.  I have been using resistance bands and relying on your instruction for two and a half years and have never had any of those issues.  I only wish I had discovered resistance bands and the Band Gym earlier.  

Thank you for helping me reach and sustain my fitness goals.  Your obvious passion for what you do is truly an inspiration.

Dave, 

One of the primary reasons I value my Band Gym membership is your ongoing dedication to expand fitness options for old timers like myself.  I was introduced to bands early in the COVID outbreak. My initial experience was with another website/company that got me started.  Once I was introduced to RBT, I found practical knowledge and motivation that was focused on long run health and wellness.  I don’t do all of the various exercises you introduce, but through experience I’ve learned to modify them to meet my limitations.

For you looking to enter the third phase of your life is an admirable goal.  For me, at 75 with granddaughters 16 and 13, my goal is to see them mature and allow me to meet great grandchildren.

You are an inspiration to all RBT members!

Dave, 

I realized as I was aging that I needed a joint-friendly resistance training format, enter the Band Gym.  I like all the routines, how to scale the exercises and the constant variety.  FYI, I purchased the Beginner Thunder-band last fall (2023) and used the PDF you sent me to develop my routines.

I start 6 days a week with a 2 mile walk. I use the bands 3X per week for a full body workout that usually lasts 35-38 mins, with an average heart rate of 136 (not too bad for 63). I engage in cardio 3 days (2 days swimming 1500 yards + a day on an exercise bike for 36 mins). One day I walk for 3-4 miles. 

My goal this year is to implement the mobility routines you strongly encourage (“movement over muscle”), to ensure I maintain the capability to move.    

The Band Gym gives me access to so many resources and variety, I never leave home without it.

Remember Dave, we are what we do, not what we say, behavior counts.

Thanks for all you do.
