Your training tips and workout videos have significantly motivated me to stay focused and to be the best that I can be as I age.

Hi Dave:

You did a very good job in describing the inevitable changes that happen as we age and unfortunately I am experiencing them more and more with each passing year.

Fortunately though I believe I have been able to slow these changes down significantly through the use of resistance bands.

Resistance bands have helped me to not only maintain strength, mobility, flexibility, and muscle definition but also with what I believe in some ways is more important, is that it has helped me with balance and core strength.

Also your training tips and workout videos have significantly motivated me to stay focused and to be the best that I can be as I age.

Thanks Dave for all your help

The new website and the new app really shows the quality and effort that your team and you put into this business.

Just wanted to send you a note of encouragement. The new website and the new app really shows the quality and effort that your team and you put into this business. It is the same quality that you put into the programs and workouts you provide. I really love the daily workouts and have been creating seconds pro timers for them as they come out. I appreciate the implementation of the kettlebells in this week’s workouts and hope that trend continues to some extent. Thanks again.

Happy Band Gym Member with a Happy Gym!! He’s a fan and so am I.

Hello Dave,

A couple of years ago I sent you a floor plan of our bonus room and you gave recommendations on bar placement. Here is a picture of that area in our gym.

I think my husband was a little skeptical of all the uses and benefits of band training. He kept wanting to use heavy free weights. But I didn’t purchase those so he was kind of forced to figure out the bands. Now he loves them! He’s able to do exercises that do not hurt his shoulder. He’s also able to do more precise workouts than he expected.

He’s a fan and so am I.
Thanks again for your help.
Happy band gym member with a happy gym!!

I really enjoy my band membership, it is the best money I have spent for fitness.

I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed the January workouts and the first week of the February workouts. They are certainly challenging me. I really like having a workout. I’m hoping to develop overall strength that will translate into improved running. At 63, almost 64, I feel really good about my fitness level. Although I enjoy your workouts, I hope to be able to eventually develop my own workouts to maintain and improve fitness and compliment my running.

I really enjoy my band membership, it is the best money I have spent for fitness.

I am really enjoying the daily (Band Gym) workouts.

Hi, Dave

I am really enjoying the daily (Band Gym) workouts. I’ve completed all your programs, most multiple times, but lacked the time and confidence to build my own workouts. The monthly programs do all this for me with a fitness theme, new exercises with lots of modifications, coaching, and education.

Thanks in advance,

I have to say I am enjoying the new format of the Band Gym with the daily exercises. I’ve committed myself to using these workouts for myself so I don’t even have to think about my own.

Hey Dave,

I’m excited about this month’s workouts. I have to say I am enjoying the new format of the Band Gym with the daily exercises. I’ve committed myself to using these workouts for myself so I don’t even have to think about my own.

Given all the work you’re putting into the Band Gym, it’s a steal at the price you’re offering it for.

I’ve spent the last four weeks doing the Momentum Builder Program in the Band Gym. I love it! It’s one of the most well rounded and challenging routines I’ve ever done.

Hey Dave!

So, I’ve spent the last four weeks doing the Momentum Builder Program in the Band Gym. I love it! It’s one of the most well rounded and challenging routines I’ve ever done. I really feel like my whole body is represented whereas, in the past, I always felt I was missing something or focusing too much on one area.

Thanks!

I wanted to tell you I’m sticking with you. I love all the info and the videos and the daily feed of the mobility-themed workouts.

Hi Dave,

Got the email today about continuing or canceling membership and I wanted to tell you I’m sticking with you.

I love all the info and the videos and the daily feed of the mobility-themed workouts. I love looking good, but at this point in life I can see well enough into the future that it’s obvious that looking good is a distant second to being able to do things I enjoy and to keep doing them.

So I’m excited to stick with you and keep learning! I can’t believe how much there is to learn on your site.

So glad to be back in the Band Gym.

Hi Dave,

So glad to be back in the Band Gym. Been having a blast the last 2 years and really can’t Thank You enough for changing my thinking as far as working out.

It is a game changer and I look forward to the future without injuries.

Have a great day.

After contemplating for the longest time whether to buy the band gym membership, I did and am not disappointed.

Hey Dave how is it going?? I am well thanks for asking. After contemplating for the longest time whether to buy The Band Gym membership, I did and am not disappointed. You always put so much free stuff on the net and I have taken advantage of it. I have been training with bands for a couple of years now and I love it. I will be traveling to Europe for about three weeks for the holidays and plan to take a couple of bands along. The Band Gym is so extensive that I have a blast looking at the different things. I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Stay safe and healthy.

I’ve never felt any pain or discomfort, no injuries and I am building muscle and fitness.

Dave,

I found out about your site after injuring myself during training with weights and after working out with bands using your exercises and programs. I’ve never felt any pain or discomfort, no injuries and I am building muscle and fitness.

Thank you so much for all your work, explanations and study materials. It’s good to learn more about movements and physics etc while working out!

Having the week’s workouts available means I can program them all into seconds pro at the start of the week and I am ready to go each day.

Hi Dave, just thought I would give feedback on the daily workouts you are providing in the new band gym. I find this really useful. I tend to squeeze workouts in at lunchtime, now I work from home following the pandemic. Having the week’s workouts available means I can program them all into seconds pro at the start of the week and I am ready to go each day. No thinking about what workout I am going to do. For those who work, have kids, a house to maintain and a wife to keep happy, this really is useful. This also means I have an ever growing bank of workouts available on seconds pro. The versatility of RBT has to be one of the biggest plus for me. Finally, its bands, so I look forward to every workout, so motivation isn’t an issue. Please keep this new aspect of the band gym going! Also finding the new layout easier to navigate. Fantastic as always, Dave and team.

Cheers

Dave!! It’s (The New Band Gym) very clean and user friendly looking. And I REALLY like the idea of providing a workout each day!

I love the new Band Gym format, Dave!! It’s very clean and user friendly looking. And I REALLY like the idea of providing a workout each day! Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the multitude of awesome choices we have in the BG, so this can be my “go to” when I’m not sure what I want to do for a day/week! I’m really excited about it and can’t wait for it to roll out!

Super job!!

Beth M

You have changed my life with RBT and I can’t thank you enough.

Hi Dave,

Congrats on your Anniversary! You have changed my life with RBT and can’t thank you enough. I changed my whole attitude on working out and love the versatility of RBT. Love the updated Band Gym. I truly appreciate all your hard work and knowledge.

Have a great day.

I am really looking forward to the daily workouts.

Great job Dave!!

I am really looking forward to the daily workouts. I just renewed my Band Gym membership and cannot wait to start them. Thank you so much for always sharing new exercises and ideas in the use of resistance bands. They are my #1 exercise tool.

Your renovated Band Gym is fantastic! It’s a must for anybody who wants to do RBT, regardless of experience.

Dave,

Your renovated Band Gym is fantastic! It makes it super easy to find the right exercise at the right time. It also helped me discover resources that I didn’t know existed.

In short, it is a major value booster! I’d go so far as to say it’s a must for anybody who wants to do RBT, regardless of experience. For beginners, it provides clear and easy ways to get going. And for folks like me who have been loving bands for more than a year, it’s a convenient way to learn and refresh.

Bravo! Congrats on a job well done. Thanks for letting members be among the first to see it.

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!

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

Knowing that you actually DO read and respond to emails means that we all know that everything you write is sincere.

I highly appreciate that the newsletter is positive without blowing smoke. There’s no negging, there’s no macho BS, there’s no doomsaying about what’s going to happen if you don’t do the program or buy the stuff. But there are also no grandiose claims of instant success for everyone — just steady encouragement to keep working. All of this is truly, genuinely rare in any corner of fitness culture. Plus, knowing that you actually DO read and respond to emails means that we all know that everything you write is sincere.

I am decidedly stronger, but better yet, I move with less pain (I had an ACL repair in 1985 which hasn’t held me back, but the bands helped me full strengthen and lengthen muscles so that my movement is essentially the same on both sides of my body), and I am leaner. My back doesn’t bother me anymore – I think this is due to better core strength which comes from working with bands!

My RBT journey began when I visited a trainer for an assessment when I turned 50 in 2012. I have always exercised, and was looking for information on how to train more effectively as I age.

The trainer used resistance bands, which I had never seen before. He mentioned RBT, and I ordered a starter set. I have used your bands ever since. I am decidedly stronger, but better yet, I move with less pain (I had an ACL repair in 1985 which hasn’t held me back, but the bands helped me full strengthen and lengthen muscles so that my movement is essentially the same on both sides of my body), and I am leaner. My back doesn’t bother me anymore – I think this is due to better core strength which comes from working with bands!

I look forward to new exercises in your weekly emails. I am really impressed with how accessible you are via email. My husband recently retired, and he is now a member of the Band Gym.

Thanks for all you do to teach us and help us be strong and healthy as we age.

Congrats on 11 years!

Over the year and a half that I have been a member, I find I can consistently trust in the safety and effectiveness of what you are teaching.

Hi Dave,

I am 71 and have found your band gym an excellent resource, both for finding exercises to work on whatever I need at the moment and for motivation. I also love the videos you send out each week that address some new moves, or compile existing exercises into an interesting or innovative workout, or that identify some issue many of us may be dealing with, and then you give us solutions to consider.

Your video presentations are clear and easy to follow. You maintain a focus on using good form through every exercise. Over the year and a half that I have been a member, I find I can consistently trust in the safety and effectiveness of what you are teaching.

14 months ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I’ve found that exercising with bands has been a boon to my workouts, from both utility and safety aspects. As a recent example, I love the locomotion training from your Nov. 8th email. I’ve started with two black bands and currently do it 4-5 times a week, right after my dynamic stretching warm up. After completing the locomotion segment, my lower back and hips feel great and I know that over time it will help my stability as well.

So Dave, good job and thank you!

So glad I joined “The Band Gym” and that you are my coach and if I have a question you answer directly!

Glad I purchased the thunder band set… You are the man!! So glad I joined “The Band Gym” and that you are my coach and if I have a question you answer directly! That is unheard of, most of these so called self proclaimed experts have a foreign base for their customer support and that makes the waters muddy when asking for advice. That’s why I will be a Band Gym member for life 🙂 Thanks Dave and Karen for your devotion and hard work.

One Heck of Camp.

Learned so much. I’m already putting it to use. I’m building next week’s schedule and I already modified this week’s schedule with confidence.

The camp has really been excellent. I already knew from the BandGym workouts and exercise vault that you had a fantastic range of exercises built up, but having them laid out in a progression as you’ve done over the past 6 weeks has really been valuable.

Hi Dave

Great workout yesterday to finish off the 6 weeks! Every workout, somewhere near the end, I tell my wife “Dave is trying to kill me again!” but somehow I’m still here.

The camp has really been excellent. I already knew from the BandGym workouts and exercise vault that you had a fantastic range of exercises built up, but having them laid out in a progression as you’ve done over the past 6 weeks has really been valuable.

Both my wife and I have worked with excellent personal trainers in the past and they have also discovered some of the same innovations as you have. But the additional things you’ve brought in are really fantastic. The resistance added to the rotator cuff exercises and the (stealth) incorporation of core stability into every workout are standout features. As is the cardio component. I’ve never had such a boost from resistance training in a gym, with or without a trainer. You should get a medal.

I’m very interested to see what you have lined up for the last three days!

Best wishes,

Your workout really opened my eyes (and chest) to a better way. It’s made my weight training more challenging while making it safer at the same time. That’s a real win.

Dave,

Your Chest Contrast Training Workout is a game changer! Just wanted to tell you how valuable I found it.

I’ve injured my rotator cuff too many times in the past. I’ve made the mistake of trying to go heavier and heavier with my dumbbell loads. The only limit was my inability to buy anything heavier than 45 lbs during the pandemic.

Your workout really opened my eyes (and chest) to a better way. It’s made my weight training more challenging while making it safer at the same time. That’s a real win. Keep the good stuff coming!

The most important factor in us deciding to follow you is that you’re pretty close to us in age (we’re both 58) and your workouts are designed with folks like us in mind.

Dave,

A little backstory for you; my wife and I retired to the central highlands of Mexico 3 years ago. Previously, we had lived in Texas for 22 years. When we lived in Texas my wife had a private trainer and I was just a long-distance runner. After moving to Mexico, we retained her private trainer to send us monthly workout programs and videos via youtube. I started working out with her in our little neighborhood gym and kept on running 3-4 days per week. When COVID hit, the neighborhood gym closed. I started looking for body-weight only workouts online. After more exploring I stumbled upon resistance band training videos on youtube. Of course, yours were among those I found. We, luckily, had a couple of bands that we previously had used exclusively for stretching and warming up. After trying several different workout routines, we decided we liked yours the best.

We began using just those two resistance bands and your youtube videos to piece together full-body workouts done on our mirador (rooftop terrace). Not wanting to take a chance with buying off-brand bands here in Mexico we have been waiting patiently for when we can return to the states to visit family. Our intention is to then purchase some of your Quantum bands after which we can sign up for the Band Gym and begin your full program in earnest.

The most important factor in us deciding to follow you is that you’re pretty close to us in age (we’re both 58) and your workouts are designed with folks like us in mind. Mobility is important! We’re very much looking forward to getting started in your full program once we’ve had a chance to buy a wider variety of higher quality bands.

Kind Regards,

With as busy as I get, it’s good to know that all I have to do is go to the Band Gym and you’ve got a plan for me. It’s all right there. Your motivation, your experience, and your innovation.

Coach Dave,

Thanks for checking in. I’ve been meaning to get back to you but I’ve been pretty busy lately. Not too busy to get my workouts (mobilizations, primers, and workouts) in though.

I started watching your videos on YouTube years ago while using bands that my friend supplied me with. Then this March I decided to get serious about routinely working out. I completed your Jump Start Program, at the intermediate level, then transitioned into the last two weeks of the 28 Day Challenge. I was so happy with my results and dedication to achieving better physical health that I then joined your Band Gym for the remainder of the year. The Momentum Builder is definitely taking it to the next level. The best part is knowing that the more I efficiently execute and push myself, the more the results will come. I love feeling muscle groups that I haven’t felt in a very long time.

With as busy as I get, it’s good to know that all I have to do is go to the Band Gym and you’ve got a plan for me. It’s all right there. Your motivation, your experience, and your innovation. With the gains that I’ve made so far, it only reinforces my dedication to continue to learn more and continually reach new heights. Thanks again for reaching out and your coaching. Keep building and stay safe.
