Resistance band buying guide
Resistance bands, also called stretch bands or power bands, are a light, portable way to build strength, assist pull-ups, warm up and stretch. Our long loop bands come in five colour-coded strengths, from light to extra heavy.
Resistance band strengths
| Band | Resistance | Width | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black | Light, 2–5kg | 5mm | Stretching, mobility, pilates and yoga |
| Red | Medium, 5–15kg | 12mm | Shoulder and arm exercises, warm-ups |
| Purple | Heavy, 15–25kg | 20mm | Rows, presses, squats and pull-up assist |
| Green | X-Heavy, 25–35kg | 30mm | Leg exercises and strong pull-up assist |
| Blue | XX-Heavy, 35–45kg | 45mm | Heavy leg work and maximum pull-up assist |
Each band is a 1m (2m looped) latex rubber band, 5mm thick. The 5-piece resistance band set covers the range from light to XX-heavy, so you have the right band for every exercise.
Which resistance band should I choose?
- Light resistance bands – for stretching, pilates and yoga, physio-style exercises and small muscles like your shoulders.
- Medium and heavy bands – for strength exercises like rows, presses, curls and squats.
- Extra heavy bands – for strong leg exercises and pull-up assist. Loop the band over the bar and stand or kneel in it: the wider the band, the more help it gives.
- Not sure? – get the 5-piece set. Most people use two or three different strengths in one workout.
Ways to use resistance bands
- Strength training – add bands to squats, push-ups and presses, or combine them with dumbbells for extra resistance at the top of each rep.
- Pull-up and dip assist – take some of your body weight so you can build up to unassisted reps.
- Pilates, yoga and stretching – light bands help you hold stretches and add resistance to pilates moves.
- Travel – bands weigh almost nothing and fit in a bag, so you can train anywhere.

Caring for your bands
Check your bands for nicks or tears before each use, keep them away from sharp edges and direct sunlight, and store them indoors. Our bands are made from latex, so they are not suitable for people with a latex allergy.

Resistance band FAQs
Can you build muscle with resistance bands?
Yes. Bands load your muscles through the whole movement, and with five strengths available you can keep increasing the resistance as you get stronger.
What are stretch bands?
"Stretch bands" is another name for resistance bands. Light bands are especially useful for assisted stretching and mobility work.
Which resistance band is best for pull-ups?
It depends on how much help you need. Start with a green or blue band, then move to purple and red as you get stronger, until you can do pull-ups without a band.
