Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the FlexBand kit?
A set of resistance bands at different tension levels, along with accessories like handles, ankle straps, a door anchor, and a carry bag. The exact list of what's included is on the product page.
What resistance levels are included?
Kits like this typically cover 3 to 5 bands, ranging from light (roughly 5-10kg equivalent) up to heavy (around 25-35kg equivalent). They can also be stacked together for more resistance.
Can resistance bands replace dumbbells?
Not exactly, they're better thought of as doing different jobs. Bands are great for joint-friendly resistance, travel, rehab work, and warming up. Dumbbells are better suited to progressive overload for building muscle. Most home gyms end up using both.
How long do the bands last?
With regular use, somewhere between 6 and 24 months is typical, depending on how often they're used and how they're stored. Keep them out of direct sunlight, since UV exposure breaks down latex over time, and store them coiled rather than stretched out.
Can the door anchor be used safely at home?
Yes, the included door anchor allows for cable-style movements like chest presses, rows, and tricep extensions without needing anything permanently installed. It's worth giving the anchor a quick test before putting full bodyweight into it.
