Do the bands come with any warranty???

All PERFORMAX Bands come with a 1 year warranty for defective bands. If any of your bands are defective, they are replaced immediately. Bands that are defective tear straight, while bands that are being overstretched or miss used tear in a shredded manner.

 

How long have resistance bands been around??

 Back to top

Resistance bands have been around since 1980. Most of the early bands were primarily made out of a rubber similar to that used in tires. They were typically looked upon as large rubber bands that could be used to offer resistance for running. They eventually began to be used as resistance to simulate machine based movements for home gyms.

 

However it wasn’t until the past 5 years that bands began to be used as a functional strength training tool. It is in the functional arena that resistance bands have found their home and will continue to dominate. 

 

Resistance band’s ability to accelerate momentum and gravity while challenging ground reaction time is the key to enhancing functional movement and resistance bands like “The Band by PERFORMAX” is the only training tool that can accomplish that.

Is there a difference between Resistance Bands???

 Back to top

Absolutely!! Resistive Bands are constructed 2 ways – Molded or Layered. Molded bands are created by pouring liquid latex into and mold and letting it harden. Molded bands are a weaker band because of what I call the matrix effect.

 

Layered bands (Like the PERFORMAX BAND) are formed by bonding multiple layers together with a strong epoxy that is heated. This creates a much stronger matrix bond. If a layered band gets a slight cut along the side of the band, it will not tear easily because there are multiple layers holding it together. Molded bands get a slight cut and they tear like a piece of paper because it is all one piece.

 

Mostly all flat resistance bands are molded and therefore you need to make sure about how the band is constructed before you purchase. Flexbands and PERFORMAX Bands are the only layered bands on the market that are proven manufactured layered bands

 

Convection bands are another type of band that have recently have been placed on the market. The manufacture of convection bands states that they are stronger than layered bands. Time will tell.

 

 

 

How many bands do I need?? 

 Back to top

Band needs is always a difficult question to answer.  Let me give you some questions to answer that will help make your decision.

 

·         Bands for Fitness? 

I suggest getting the Fitness Package. It provides you everything you will need to train anywhere.  You will be able to train strength, flexibility, cardio or running drills, and create great metabolic circuits

·         Bands for Boot Camps?

For training clients in bootcamps, it will come down to what you want to train and you population. 90% of my boot camps use Mini, Monster Mini or Light Band. For more information on Band Boot Camp training go to www.fitnessbandbootcamp.com 

 

 

 

How Many Bands do I need for my 20 Person BootCamp??

 Back to top

First of all it will depend on if you want to train exclusively with bands or in stations with other training tools. 

If using stations, you need to determine which exercises you want and how many people will be at that station.  From there you can determine how many bands and what accessories will be needed.

If bands exclusively, you will need to determine how many stations and how many bands and accessories you need per stations.  If you are going to train in partnerships you will need essentially one band per person.  Now depending on your population, you will need to look at using smaller bands (mini – monster mini for upper torso) for upper torso training and heavier band (light and average bands) for lower torso training.
