Heavy duty and does exactly what it says.

I've used it a while now. Nice wooden piece. Build quality is fair and it doesn't really distinguish itself from other band boards except that it's just a piece of wood. Some of these boards have clips that you can clip directly onto it and this one doesn't. It's fairly light compared to metal pieces. I don't like particularly how they decided to divide the length into three pieces. I'd rather have it be able to put the bands directly in the middle but because it's divided into an odd number this isn't possible. Hence I knocked down a rating for this

Perfect for my resistance band workouts. Lightweight and really sturdy.

Good product this far

Works as designed. Makes a huge difference when working out with resistance bands

Very good product.

I have wanted a board like this for a while. I have been training off and on with bands (tube and loop) for years and I love working out with them. They deliver a great work out, are light weight, portable, are simple to use, and I can throw them in a bag in a closet. That said, one part of the work out with bands was always terrible. And that part was any exercise that required you to stand on the band. With tube bands, the issue was standing on and damaging the tube or the fact that if you wanted to lift heavy, a bunch of tubes. Bodlylastics came up with a sleeve to stand on, but it was never convenient. Using loop bands made it easier to lift heavier why standing on a flat band, but when you went heavy, your feet had to with stand it - the band uncomfortably rolling your feet so you become unbalanced, which always meant lifting less. I am not sure who pioneered this board idea. I equate it with the X3 bar system, as that was the first place I saw it, but there are dozens on the market now, with many made of wild space aged materials. Turns out, all you really need is some wood.This is my first footboard, so I cannot compare it to the others on anything but price. And at the $70 it is listed for as I write this, it is a tremendous deal in this space. Stop reading now and pick it up if you are interested in a board of this type. The wood is well sanded and finished, with absolutely no rough spots. The channels are wide enough to accommodate the widest band I have with ease. There is a channel across the main length but also two channels on the width. And there is a hole in the middle which picture show being used as an anchor point but unless you have a door anchor with a foam backing, not sure how you would do it.Few caveats as you contemplate using a board or a system like this. First, I would consider getting a set of 37 or 38 inch bands instead of the standard 41" length. 41 is great for most exercises, but if you are going to use a board like this or a jaquish harambe style workout and you are not as wide as the door frame, the shorter length will make many of the exercises better - - namely the bench press, but I think all the exercises in this kind of format are better with a shorter band. The 41" are great if you are doing an undersun style work out (anchored points for most of it). Second, you will probably want a bar for this style of workout. Amazon has several that will work, but having one makes things like dead lifts and squats better. That said, I am intrigued by the waste belts I have seen and am contemplating one. Lastly, if you are using loop bands without a bar, look into some of the j style handles so the heavy bands do not crush your hands.Overall, it's a great board. Sturdy, stable, and worth it. Get it.

I have these two pull-up assist sets that I do not use to do pull-ups; I also have a squat harness. To that squat harness, I have hooked the bands that normally would assist someone to do pull-ups and use the band that would normally go around the bar across both feet. The limitation currently is that planting one's feet and not moving them while a load that is significant enough to call the effort a squat is a problem. During a squat, the center of pressure on the foot moves forward and backwards somewhat and that is something that the strap across the bottom of my feet does not like; I was stuck doing quarter squats and posture work. However, with the board, the bands that go around the bar can go around the board front to back (if you wanted to do it the other way, you could) and provide more effective and more natural resistance. With the board, I am able to position the bands and the strap on the board and then, clip a carabiner to the other end so that all the bands are connected to one carabiner. The result is a movement that feels more natural, something like a very high bar squat. This positioning also allows for a kind of hybrid between the forward movement of the hips at the end of a deadlift and the hip movement of a good morning.While I was writing, it occurred to me that I could use the strap that is normally used to support the feet when these straps are used to assist a pull-up in the same manner and get a better range of motion. It took a few seconds, however, as it turns out, those straps fit around this fitness board/platform perfectly! I am still not quite where I want to be, however, a taller person would be enjoying an elastic-loaded parallel squat! Still, ever the creative, I have a plan to reduce the length of unloaded travel, however, without this platform, that plan would be impossible. The plan involves an unfortunate reduction --I think-- in load because at least one band would have to go underneath the platform and so would be imposible without it. This is no mere piece of wood, it is specifically designed to be use with resistance bands and, if you use resistance bands for strength training then you need this board, it will be a game changer.As a general aside, this board, along with some resistance bands, would be helpful to almost anyone that uses resistance training to become stronger, larger, and faster. Elastic resistance is particularly good for hypertrophy and easier to recover from than isotonic resistance. Moreover, the effects are additive so that a person tired from a weight workout would benefit from an elastic workout while they drink their post workout shake. If your goal is to become faster then elastic resistance can help you by allowing progressive resistance to acceleration that is different than isokinetic resistance; however, it is similar in one particular regard, the faster you move the more resistance there is. With rubber bands, the highest resistance the band is capable of providing will be reached faster. Elastic bands will also accelerate a person downward and they are often used attached to the ankles and the waist to improve a volleyball player's vertical jump as well as the rate with which they squat under, either, a barbell, or a ball.This board's ace is the bench press with a giant rubber band. It truly shines when used that way because, while wearing gloves, the hands can be moved apart as well as upward. The idea is often talked about at gyms by people who really like to bench, "lift as if you were trying to bend the bar as you push up". Of course, the goal is to engage the back musculature in stabilizing the lift, however, with a rubber band, the effort can be resisted in that direction as well as upward. A person might not be able to do a pull-apart with the resistance they use to bench but the barbell has a specific travel path and it isn't like it can get wider as you lift. However, with a band, it CAN get wider as you lift and it CAN produce an eccentric contraction in those muscles as the band wants to bring your hands back to the position when there was zero stretch. With this board, a person could even use two bands, one that goes under the board to push up and one to pull apart at the top of the movement so as to produce a concentric contraction in the lower fibers of the trapezius and the rhomboids --there is evidence that there are, in fact, two rhomboids, a larger muscle and a smaller muscle-- as well as produce a better stimulus in the rarely engaged deeper fibers of the trapezius.This board/platform is a very versatile tool, particularly, if you work legs or chest with elastic bands. The challenge to working the back with elastic bands is the range of motion and this board/platform really helps in that regard though, I feel that it really shines working shoulders in that one can adjust the position of the band so that the stretch occurs earlier in the movement or much later in the movement. In the first case, the fibers that are the hardest to engage with a cable or a barbell really get roasted, in the second case, it is all about acceleration around a joint and the goal is to meet resistance at the point of maximal acceleration so as to produce an eccentric contraction on the way back. That is to say, use the acceleration to be able to stretch more than you can normally and then use the extra strength of an eccentric contraction to build the mass. Note that this isn't something you can really do standing on the band, however, it is easily accomplished by wrapping the band around the board a number of times to get the necessary tension at maximal stretch. Conversely, if you are one of those pushups type, this board liberates you from holding the band with your hands; I think you will find that you are stronger when you don't have to hold the band with your feet or with your hands.

Well made product. Easy to use with resistance bands of trim sizes and types.
