Ripcords are excellent to keep in shape and tightens your muscles. I still have difficulty building muscles like free weights do, but this product is great for toning. Ripcords are awesome to take on vacations where most people pack on pounds and you can still workout. I would highly recommend the Black Snipper Edition since I used all the cords in my workout and also I think you really need the DVD.

It's easy to switch between tensions because there are no clips like I've seen with other systems. Ripcords is the quality class brand and the simplest to use. I highly recommend this system but listen... unless you are an extremely fit and strong person, I recommend you stick with the 5-pack as the Black Sniper is an intense push. I can't even do a full Circuit7 (which by the way is a genius circuit) with the Black Sniper.

This is the best resistance bands package available. It offers the widest range of resistance, each resistance band comes with their own handle, and there is a lifetime warranty for free replacements at the cost of shipping. With resistance bands some exercises are harder than others and even if you are in athletic form you may want to use a lighter band to enable you to properly do certain exercises. For atheletes the Circuit 7 is a great test at maintaining your strength levels and it gives you a great pump. Highly recommended!

My husband must have mentioned that he wanted Ripcords 10 times before I finally just ordered him a set. We haven't had much time to get to the gym lately but we are both using Ripcords now. He even keeps one in the shower and works out there but I guess we have a big shower. I have washed away all of my gym envy and guilt without even leaving the house. I memorized most of the Circuit7 video and have started using them in the sun in the backyard so I get a tan at the same time... taking them camping next weekend... wish I had them when we were in college.

I brought these bands a few months back and they were good. They gave me a bit of pump and even had my arms shaking at one point. But then the black sniper broke. The steel ring that holds the band to the handle broke clean off. Amazed, I switched to the blue band. Which after about 15 mins work split in two in the middle of the band. I thought these were supposed to be the strongest bands on the market? Nevertheless, I emailed Astone Fitness 3 months ago and told them my concerns and I have heard absolutely NOTHING!. Thanks for the awesome customer service Asotne Fitness. I would never buy or even recommend these bands to anyone. When they work, they are pretty good, but when something goes wrong, clearly you are on your own. My advice, go out and buy regular old dumbbells.

Bought the "Black Sniper" version from Ripcords and I very pleased with the product. I sit in front of a computer all day (sometimes up to 14 hours per day) and I like the convenience of putting one of the bands in my backpack on my way out the door in the morning and using it at my desk. You'd be surprised at just doing this 5 minutes at a time for 5 times during the course of the day can bring results. I've counted up to 12 different exercises I've been able to do just sitting at my desk. As a result, 9 people in my office have now ordered this product and they're waiting for them to ship so they can start using the bands at work.

These things are great! I use them more than I do free weights. You don't have to mess with any clamps to change out the amount of "weight" you'll be working with and you can take them where ever the crap you want. They'll really get your muscles tone if you keep up the workouts. The DVD is really good and can really work you out even if you're already used to working out. Why go to the gym and drive home sweaty? With these things, I can workout naked and jump in the shower right after. Better yet, I can work out IN the shower.

I have had these for like a week and they are pretty good, when i am using them they dont feel like they are going to brake, definetely a better investment than those 10 dollar bands at walmart,

Due to not having enough space to workout with weights, I decided to look for a viable option, which will help me keep fit and possibly gain some muscle mass. I ended going for the Black Sniper kit, with also the 5 cord Leg Kit and the extra door hook attachment. Let me tell you, these have definitely set me on the right path. After 4 weeks of diet, cardio (2 - 3 days a week) and a Ripcords workout 2 - 3 times a week, I've noticed positive results. Ofcourse this is not all from the Ripcords, but it is definitely helping me keep my muscle mass rather than letting it deteriorate from a standard "all cardio, no resistance training" regime's.

The yellow cord has the least resistance, which is good for just starting out. I found an all rounder in the green cord, changing every so often to the heavier blue cord, or to the lighter orange cord.

The Black sniper cord is AMAZING. Although I am amazed by the resistance all the cords have, I am blown away by the resistance this particular cord has. It's perfect for "dumbbell" Shrugs and other low movement workouts where you would normally lift a heavy weight.

The DVD that comes with this kit is awesome. Its a circuit training workout, so expect alot of different exercises in 7 minutes. I found that its hard to keep up with it and there is no way to do it all in 7 minutes. With that said, it's still a great alternative to Bike/Elliptical cardio, when you just use one of the low resistance cords.

So far, so good. No attachments have broke, they have a life time warranty, and they deliver to Australia, unlike the Bodylastics set, which I have heard are great aswell. You'll b amazed as to how versatile they are!!!

This is a perfect assortment of resistance bands for your P90X workouts. Definitely recommend the package with the Black Sniper. The door attachment is also very helpful.
