Resistance Bands

Our Take

A set of looped latex resistance bands from Gymtex, designed primarily to assist with pull-ups and chin-ups by offsetting bodyweight. Useful for beginners building towards unassisted reps, as well as more advanced users adding band-assisted volume or using them for mobility and activation work. Sits in the mid-range of the assisted pull-up band market.

Key Features

Multiple bands included in the set, each offering a different resistance level from light to heavy

Continuous loop construction with no seams or joins along the band length

Made from layered natural latex, giving a degree of stretch and snap-back without feeling brittle

Flat band profile rather than tubular, which distributes load more evenly across the foot or knee during assisted movements

Suitable for anchoring over a pull-up bar without specialist attachments

Bands are long enough to use comfortably for both foot and knee-assisted positioning

Our Verdict

A solid, practical choice for home gym users or those new to pull-up training who want a reliable set to progress with. Less ideal for anyone needing precisely calibrated resistance for rehabilitation or programming, or who already trains unassisted and has no use for lighter bands.

What We Like

  • Versatile across different exercises beyond just pull-ups
  • Set format means you can progress resistance incrementally as strength improves
  • Durable latex holds up well to regular use without snapping prematurely

Things to Consider

  • Latex can feel sticky in warm conditions or degrade faster if left in direct sunlight
  • No carry case or storage solution included
  • Heavier bands in the set may feel too stiff for smaller or lighter users
  • Resistance labelling can be approximate rather than precise
