Gymreapers Weightlifting Bodybuilding Powerlifting Deadlifts Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "These straps are very comfortable. They’re easy to use."
• "Super cute bright pink color. Sturdy material. Padding helpful on wrist."
• "Very comfortable on my wrist and no cutting as I've experienced with other brands."
• "They are soft and very strong and provides great grips on bars and dumbbells."
• "The gym straps are super comfortable and not like other gym straps that are stiff and need to break in."
• "These straps are super comfortable and allowed me to hit PRs left and right!"
• "These bands are amazing. They feel soft on my wrists and hands."

Cons:

• "The only bad thing is one strap is longer then the other and creates an uneven feeling while using heavier weights."
• "I noticed slight red marks around my wrists where the straps had been digging into my skin."
• "The only downside of them, which is just my OCD, is that I can't have the logo facing the same way on both of them lol"
• "Work great, don’t sit very well on wrist but definitely not painful and help carry heavier weight, just wish padding portion was longer."
• "The edge of the padding will dig into you a good bit."
• "Could probably use some extra padding because they leave red marks on my wrists."
• "I almost always ended up with little to no padding on the inside thumb part of my wrist where I actually wanted it."

Durability and Material Quality

Pros:

• "They’re holding up great after around a year."
• "I've had these for almost 4 months now and they are holding up pretty well."
• "Love these straps. They are very well made and very durable and priced very well, very inexpensive."
• "These straps are made from a ridiculously durable canvas that doesn’t stretch."
• "Almost two years later I've used these straps almost every day in the gym, going 4-5x a week and they've held up amazingly."
• "Great comfort and very durable !"
• "These straps are well made and the material is soft unlike some other brands."

Cons:

• "Where the first set of straps I purchased hung on, the second pair have not faired so well."
• "They seem to hold up ok at 405, but when I used them for 585 or more they pretty much instantly tear apart."
• "I received these November 12th. Already a rip started to appear by November 23rd."
• "Unfortunately, they ripped after not even 4 weeks."
• "I’ve used these straps less than 10x lifting between 225-275 lb, and they’re already tearing."
• "Would not recommend these... Ripped after 12 reps of deadlift at 425lbs."
• "But, they didnt even last a year before they ripped."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Very aesthetically pleasing as well."
• "The Gym Reaper brand makes quality lifting support gear and the choice of colors are nice as well."
• "Cool skull logo and the addition of colors make these stand out in the gym a lot more than the boring black ones all your buddies use."
• "They come in lots of colors! What's not to love!"
• "Love the pink color. Hoping they last a while."
• "The color is as I expected great fit and comfort."
• "I like the color."

Cons:

• "The logos do not face the same direction when you wear the straps correctly in each hand."
• "What athlete wants an upside-down logo on one hand????"
• "The logo not facing correctly is a minor annoyance."
• "Both wraps are meant only for your left hand. Both wraps aren't supposed to look identical and should go in opposite angles."
• "These are really bad because I have to tie them around and awkwardly hold the machine rather than attaching them to the machine via velcro."
• "So if I want to make them work, I have to wear the left wrist wrap upside down."
• "I would give it zero stars! These are nothing like what it shows in the pictures what so ever!"

Functionality and Performance

Pros:

• "Nice pair of lifting straps, easy to throw on. adjust, and pull with."
• "These ones you can actually get them to be as tight as you want which is what I love about it."
• "So as I am getting stronger I started to notice my grip was wearing out first when I felt I had at least several more reps in me... This lifting strap is a game changer, seriously."
• "My grip and forearms usually get toasted before my back does on back/bi day at the gym so I just throw these on and now I can finally go to failure with my back!!"
• "Use these for all of my back workouts and have never been more sore. Highly recommend any beginner to expert weightlifter to use these."
• "These straps are awesome for back day and other leg day movements. I wish they were a little bit longer but the length is still great."
• "I can pull more weight than I thought with these!"
