How durable are these resistance bands? I'll class the price more than worth it if they last long enough.

We've had quite a few units on test in professional gyms for well over a year and they get used day in day out and they seem to be fine. We are users not just sellers and mine have been going for over a year. Of course it depends on how much you use them..they are rubber and just like a pair of trainers they will wear out. We would guarantee them for at least 6 months for reasonable usage.

Well you can but the issue is that when you punch with a weight you are actually throwing the weight, so it gathers momentum and therefore gives you little resistance to punches. Also the resistance primarily acts down (with gravity) and therefore does not actually oppose the direction of the punch, unless you lie on your back and punch towards the sky. Of course then you don't really have free movement to move around. Finally the product has a variety of uses not just for punching...

looks good, just wish the price wasnt so dear, im very poor and cant afford the price =/

For the cost versus the benefit people get by using it, we think it offers good value. Much better than say gym membership or other products on the market. We came top in an independent fitness product review on ITV's This Morning and most of the other products were more expensive than us.

@marinejackson use old bike inner tubes

Why can't you use 1lb dumb bells instead? Lot cheaper and has a natural range and flow when you punch

I bet if you shadow box without it, youre fast!
