Works well, easy set-up.

I'm kind of a beginner/intermediate level. I'm at about 200 lbs, I have a home gym with a pull-up station and I can't do a pull-up to save my life. That's before I purchased this pull-up assist band. After about 2 months of assisted pull-ups, I now can do a single unassisted pull-up! I'm guessing in a years time I can do a bit more than just 1. Small steps at a time.Now, let's talk about the band. Like I said, I'm about 200 lbs, and it can pull me up without a hiccup. The band is very strong. I'm standing on the strap with all of my weight on it and it's still very bouncy. The straps that hold the bands together are very well constructed and very heavy duty. I'm guessing this thing will last for years. So if you want to start doing pull-ups, start with this band. You could even bring it to your gym if they permit outside equipment. Because there shouldn't be any shame in needing assistance. Every "pro" was a beginner at one point. And that's my 2 cents.

What I like most is that a.) it's easily adjustable so that you can find the "right" resistance for you, and b.) it's super strong and can easily support a heavier person. (I'm 230 and I never feel like the band is being stressed.)

Been doing P90X3 and I have never in my entire life ever been able to do a pull up! After using a chair to assist my pullups, I thought I should give bands a try. I love the quick adjustment to change the resistance level and the quick snap connection to unhook it from the bar. This appears to be surprisingly well made. The plastic snap connector does make me a bit leery, but its very thick and heavy duty feeling and I hope it holds up over time.Anyway, to give you my life story: I'm a guy, 5'11 215lbs. During my initial run of P90X3, I was using the chair assist. Over time though, I could definitely tell I was using my leg to assist my pullup, a lot more than I should have been. I started P90X3 doing 0 unassisted pullups, and ended P90X3 still doing 0 unassisted pullups after 90 days and I think the chair made it too easy to cheat.After giving these bands a try, I genuinely feel like I will be able to work myself up to at least one full unassisted pull up after this second full round. As time goes on and I find my self doing reps easier, I'll drop the resistance until I hopefully ween myself off the bands and do one at least one or more completely unassisted pull up.Funny enough, the bands has made this so fun now that I randomly find myself sometimes on my off days of doing pull ups walking by the pull up bar, putting my foot in and doing a few reps now. A little $35 investment has made me enjoy practicing pullups.

Excellent product. Easy to install, easy to use, and adjustable so that me and my nine-year-old son are both able to use the product efficiently. Highly recommended.

I'm 200 lbs and 52 years old. No longer able to do an unassisted pull up. With this assist band, was able to perform 3 sets of 10. Simple to adjust to your liking. Each workout, I adjust the assistance to require me to use more of my own strength.

This review probably applies to most, if not all, of these pull-up assist devices. I am 83 and weigh 165 lbs. and actively cycle so I am not in bad shape. However, even on the maximum assist, I can barely get my chin over the bar for 4 consecutive chins. The assist is OK until you get a couple of inches below the bar and then seems to be completely nonexistent. If you are older or heavier, I would go for one of these with a lot more assist than this one. I am 5'11" and I can hold the top chin over bar about 30 secs max with the assist at max. I calculated what weight I was actually chinning at that point and it comes out to 90 lbs. So that is the real assist; it may be 130 lbs at the bottom but it decreases to about 90 lbs when your chin over the bar. So your getting 70 lbs of assist, not 130 lbs. I am keeping the apparatus but getting a heavier band only that goes up to 170 lbs. With this heavier band I should get a few extra pounds to get my starting chins at max around 10. I hope this helps.

That tiny extra boost needed to get the workout going is rather nice -- I don't have to go to a gym to use pull down bars, this works fine with a door jamb pullup bar. Haven't had any issues with it.

Great product at a great price!

Estoy muy satisfecho con este producto, porque es un excelente auxiliar para desarrollar la habilidad de realizar dominadas en la barra. Sin duda ha sido un acierto para lograrlo más rápidamente.

Se ve de buena calidad

I'm petite and don't have very strong upper body strength. This has been a game changer. I'm feel more encouraged and look forward to doing a variety of pull ups with more reps. This has been a game changer.

Es un excelente producto , me ah ayudado en la realización de dominadas y ahora siento más fuerza .
