Join the Resistance (Band)

Resistance isn’t always futile. (Yep, we referenced Star Wars and Star Trek because we’re equal-opportunity nerds.)

One of the most versatile fitness products you can own is a set of resistance bands. While our experts appreciate bands with handles and mini loop bands, we think long-looped resistance bands provide a ton of value to any home gym owner, especially if you want to loop one around your squat rack for exercises like assisted pull-ups, face pulls, and hamstring curls.

In this Living.Fit resistance bands review, we’ll walk you through the details of these high-quality and budget-friendly long-loop resistance bands.
