Product Description

Latex-Free Exercise Bands are made of synthetic rubber and provide the same performance and benefits as natural rubber latex bands without the possible complications experienced by those with latex allergies. The only resistive exercise bands endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Ideal for building upper and lower body strength for rehabilitation or fitness. Whether building strength after shoulder or knee surgery or improving athletic performance, our bands, tubing and corresponding resistance exercise programs can be easily and economically used for any exercise program. The progressive resistance of our products parallels the basic concepts of building strength and mobility. As each level is mastered, the resistance can be increased with ability. In general, tan and yellow are used for early rehabilitation or very frail individuals. The most common resistances are red, green & blue. Black, silver and gold are typically used by athletes. The use of elastic resistance rather than weight-bearing exercises minimizes pressure on the joints and decreases the possibility of incurring other injuries. They can be used while traveling, sitting at home or even in the office. Uses for the Thera-Band Bands include: exercise, gym, balance, fitness, birthing, yoga, pilates, and stability and resistance.

I don't have a latex alergy, but these were a bit less expensive so I purchased them. I found that they kinda have a funny smell that never really goes away, and after a few workouts one of them broke in half. Anyway, I still use one of them, but I really prefer to use the latex ones instead.

Product was inexpensive and works just like the ones I got from my physical therapist. Three different resistance levels and latex free which is nice as latex irritates my skin a bit.

Shipping was also quick.

I purchased these for use in my office at work. Had to be latex free as I work in a children's hospital with a lot of kids with latex allergies.

Generally, these work well. I have a few toning exercises I use for when I need to stretch or burn a few calories because I've been at my desk for too long. I find them as nice to use as other therabands I've used at the gym.

Note that these don't have handles - they're essentially a long strip of stretchy non-latex material. Other bands I've seen are much shorter, but as some reviewers noted, if it's not long enough, it's not. You could always cut them down with a pair of scissors.

I haven't had any problems with them breaking. My biggest complaint is that they have a slightly sweet smell which is still present even after 4 months. If I leave it out of the package on my desk, I can note the odor when I walk into my office. It's not unpleasant, but I'm giving them one less star for it. Overall a great product for the price.
