Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Update, they got back to me and actually sent me a brand new set, which was very nice."
  • "I did have an issue with one of them, contacted the seller and within one week, they remedied it!"
  • "They also have good customer service, they got back to me the next day about replacement parts."
  • "I had a problem with my order and contacted the seller. The customer service that the seller provides is excellent."
  • "First of all customer service with these exercise bands was exceptional."
  • "I had a problem with one of the bands, sent an email and received an immediate response."
  • "I wrote the company and never heard back."

Cons:

  • "This product touts a lifetime guarantee of no breakage - but less than a month after we bought it one of the straps broke!!"
  • "Contacted vendor via Amazon and no response after more than a month and repeated attempts to contact."
  • "I tried to reach out to the manufacture but no one ever got back to me."
  • "I sent company an email a couple of weeks ago, that I need the 30 pound green belt replaced and as of yet, no one has responded."
  • "I am mad because despite paragraphs and paragraphs about satisfaction guaranteed and them 'not existing' without their customers they don't list an email or customer service phone number on either their website or product manual."
  • "I wrote the company and never heard back."
  • "Booklet has email address, but so far no response. I would like a new 10 pound band, per the “lifetime guarantee.”"

Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "They seem well made with good quality material."
  • "Product is terrific and works virtually all muscle groups safely."
  • "I have had for two weeks and I have regained my tone and increased muscle size lost from five months of not working out due to health issues."
  • "Easy to use and weights are stackable, quick to change bands."
  • "These bands are high quality, solid metal components and straps."
  • "The quality of the materials has increased my confidence in them."
  • "These natural latex resistance bands are of excellent quality!"

Cons:

  • "I like this set, however, I don't think they'll make good long term use."
  • "One of mine tore after about a year and a half every-other-day use, roughly."
  • "Great at first, after time and use they fall apart. Both my husband and I have had the chords snap on our backs and come out from the door during workouts and they stretch out losing their elasticity."
  • "The accessories (handles, straps, anchor) are very cheap and flimsy."
  • "I give the Whatafit resistance band set a durability failure."
  • "The bands being weak and breaking are believable though, as after a few uses (at a lower resistance) you can see noticeable wear on the anchor strap and the connections of the bands."
  • "I have had these bands for just over 3 months. The image attached shows the band starting to wear away."

Safety and Use

Pros:

  • "You want more weight just add more bands."
  • "You could take this anywhere; it all fits inside a little bag that you could put in a bookbag or throw in your car when you are on the go."
  • "Older adults need muscle strengthening to prevent muscle weaknesses which everyone experiences as the human body naturally ages & to prevent injuries."
  • "I can conveniently and safely work every muscle group right in my living room, which is perfect for the times were are in."
  • "After 6 weeks of workouts my body composition is very positively impacted in size, definition, and strength."
  • "The door anchor is fabulous, and fool proof."
  • "The door anchor is easy to use and very secure."

Cons:

  • "They kept snapping out of the tip theyre attached to and my door ended up punched."
  • "The door strap/anchor can be very dangerous."
  • "Within one month of use, I was anchoring beneath the door and exercising my back when the anchor broke and catapulted against my abdomen."
  • "However, the bottom of the door has a gap which appears much narrower than the plastic cylinder on the door strap, but when I was doing arm curls the cylinder, which has a sponge around it, compressed under the door and the whole thing hit me in the face."
  • "Be extremely careful with chess press anchored at top of interior door. I anchored the 50, 40, & 30 lbs bands collectively at the top of my closet door and during my last set the door was forced open and the anchor smack me violently in the back of my head leaving a knot and a small cut."
  • "Just got these a couple days ago and tried using the leg velcro straps to do some leg exercises and as soon as I pulled one leg back, the velcro opened and snapped one end on the door, luckily no one was near."
  • "I strongly suggest users add something to the door anchor at the back much much wider to stop that happening."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "I would easily pay $75 more than what I paid for these bands ($30) if the higher priced bands are of better quality."
  • "For the price this is still worth picking up."
  • "Great product for the price."
  • "I think it is a good product for the money and the designers have thought of a lot to help people use them."
  • "All in a convenient carry case. Great value."
  • "These are very durable."
  • "I love this strengthening my core and abs a great workout."

Cons:

  • "They say the bands are 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 pounds but they are NOT. I compared the '30 pound' band to one I have from Dicks Sporting Goods and it is horribly inaccurate."
  • "The only reason I didn't give these a 5 star rating is because the attachments are on comfortable when you are doing anything above your head."
  • "Only gripe is it could use more than one anchor strap for sake of ease."
  • "Unfortunately I have already missed the window for return. Also I bought it with $49 but when I come back now the price became $29."
  • "The weight rating on the bands are not accurate, it feels closer to half (10 lbs feels like 5 lbs, 20 feels like 10, etc)."
  • "Really disappointed these cost 50 bucks. Should be like 20."
  • "Save your money on this one there are better elsewhere."
