FIT Band Boot Camp

Band Exercises - Set-ups & Purchase Recommendations to get YOU started

 

Dear Fellow Trainer
To help you with your resistance band purchase decision I put together some purchase ideas for you to review. I thought this might provide you assistance in choosing the number of bands you would need to train your athletes, camp members and clients.
Obviously the more bands you have, the more efficient you can be. Once you begin to use them, I guarantee they will become a  "can't do without training tool" and more importantly clients will really get excited about training which means great results for you and them!!

Here are some partner drills I think you would want to incorporate for your clients

Speed and Agility Drills

• Partner Shuffle drill - 2 light or Monster Mini bands
• Partner Continuous runs - 2 light or Monster mini bands
• Partner Resisted running -2  Light bands
• Partner Backpedal Drill -   2 light or Monster Mini bands
• Partner Crossover runs -  2 light or Monster Mini bands

Functional Ground Based Upper Torso Strengthening   

• Standing Pushes
• Squat Pulls
• Bent over Presses
• Lunge Curls
• Trunk Reaction training
• All Dowel - Band training
  

Flexibility Training Pre Workout
This will primarily require 1 light or monster mini band per client
I usually recommend the group go through a pre-workout stretching routine followed by a movement retraining program. It usually takes about 10 minute’s total.

Cost Per Band & Accessories

• Strong Bands $32
• Average Bands $28
• Light Bands $22
• Monster Mini Bands $16
• Mini Bands $12
• Exercise Handles Bands $20 / Pair

Training Station Set-up Options

There are 3 ways to set up training stations

1.  Independent single person stations

Each station has one client per station.  This will require maximum number of bands and accessories but it allows people to train independently.  Independent training makes for easier learning for beginners.

2.  Partnerships with Independent stations

This provides the benefit of independent training without the additional band and accessories cost.  In this scenario, each person takes their turn at the station with trainer signaling when to switch.

3.  Total Partnerships

This scenario allows you to train anywhere without concern for band attachment sites.  Partners become the holders while other person is training.  Benefits of this set-up include less band needs, less concern for space and great partner chemistry.  It also allows you to train large groups easier.
However this will create a greater cost in handles unless you have 1 partner doing lower torso and one partner doing upper torso training.

Resistance Band Purchase Options

Keep in mind that Partnership Training is a great way to maximize training efficiency. When considering your circuit stations, realize that each station can be a partnership as well as a single person.  However it will take twice as many bands to train individually.
Another option for training is to work in partnerships but have the bands attached to a solid structure.  In this scenario partners simply switch position after each set.  This will decrease the need for more accessory handles and utility straps.

 

Option 1: 1 Partnership – 2 clients

Recommended   2 light, 2 monster mini   $76

Option 2:   5 Partnerships - 10 clients

Recommend: 10 light, 4 monster mini bands & 6 mini bands $356  

Option 3: 8 Partnerships – 16 clients

Recommend: 16 light 8 monster minis, 4 mini $ 480

Option 4: 15 Partnerships – 30 clients

Recommend: 30 light, 12 monster mini, 12 mini bands   $996

Accessories
Training handles needs would be 1 pair of handles per client or station if independent training is done

 

Band Utility Straps would be 1 strap per station if you plan on working with individuals vs. partnerships and do not have safe attachment site
