We’ve seen it all before—resistance band workouts (not to be confused with our Suspension Trainer™ workouts). Aka, those long stretchy exercise bands. Some are large circular loops. Some are straight flat elastic. And many have built-in handles. There are tons of options and they’re great for all-around training—and even sports rehabilitation or physical therapy—but the ones with handles are usually cumbersome and limited in use, while the non-handle resistance bands aren’t as effective as they could be because they—shocker—hurt the hands so much from the plastic digging into your palms.
We created Strength Bands to offer folks a super effective, premium quality resistance band to level up anyone’s fitness from 5-150lbs. However, we’re always thinking beyond the status quo, so we asked ourselves—beyond making a superior product, how do we make resistance band training easier and more effective?
THE PROBLEM: RESISTANCE TRAINING COULD BE BETTER
Let’s go over a few things we love about Strength Band training and a few things we don’t love as much:
WHAT WE LOVE
- Super portable (like having a whole weight rack, sans the weight)
- More time under tension means your muscles are constantly working
- Super versatile—use light bands for physical therapy or muscle activation/warmups; use long bands for sprinter drills, looping it around your waist; use heavy bands for full-body moves like back squats
- An overall really awesome way to strength train
WHAT WE DON’T LOVE
- Holding the band is super uncomfortable—the plastic pinches and digs into your palms, especially with heavier resistance, making it really difficult to load up with more weight
- When you can’t load up with more weight, it’s harder to get the most out of your workout moves
- It’s challenging to get your hand in the right position
THE SOLUTION: TRX® BANDIT HANDLE
Always the innovator, TRX® founder Randy Hetrick first came up with the idea for a resistance band removable handle that was 1) super familiar and recognizable in design, 2) super comfortable, and 3) arguably the most important—easy to put on and take off (and of course, have it be intuitive to do so). The end result is our all-new product, the TRX BANDIT™
HOW IT’LL REINVENT THE WAY YOU TRAIN
Here’s what makes the TRX BANDIT™ a must-have in your training kit:
- Adding a handle opens up a plethora of moves and weights you couldn't achieve before
- Better comfort, control, and performance
- More strength, endurance, and mobility moves
- Instantly recognizable handle design—no strange or clunky designs here
- Lightweight and small enough to fit in a backpack (or purse) with your Strength Bands
- Durable materials you can count on
- Textured rubber coating so your grip won’t slip
- Simple lengthwise gap lets you easily snap on a Strength Band or two
- Once the Strength Band rests inside the handle, it stays put
- To use it, just make sure the gap faces opposite whichever way you’re using the band
Oh and FYI—we have TRX Bandit-specific workouts and getting-started vids on our all-new TRX Training Club℠ app. Signing up is the easiest way to work out with your new Bandit handles.
