The loops are incredibly hard to pull up and hook the bands to. Also, it would be nice to have some videos of how it works rather than pictures. It’s ok.. if you can pull the metal loops up to even use it.

I'm in the process of putting together an at-home gym that can go with me when I change travel assignments (I'm a physical therapist assistant). Weights and benches are just too bulky for how often I move. Plus, resistance bands are arguably safer.This board seemed more modular than it actually is. It only supports up to three of their bands on each side, for a total of 180lbs of resistance max. Each of their bands provides *up to* 30 lbs of resistance, and that's at maximum stretch. That's at the end range of their stretch. So you'll get significantly less resistance throughout the majority of the motion. Because the board can only take 180 lbs, you're not able to use heavier bands with it for more progression. And 180lbs is hardly sufficient for most people progressing into intermediate squats.The long-short (pun not intended) of the bulk (again, pun not intended) of what this kit is used for is that the bands are nothing special, they are as good as any other cloth covered resistance bands, and the board is underwhelming.Despite the board being insufficient for my use, I want to highlight a few things this system excels with.First: the barbell is excellent. The padding is thin, yet highly effective at cushioning. The loops on the ends of the barbell rotate freely and are excellent at keeping the bands untangled and unwound. It's an incredibly sturdy bar and worth getting on its own.Second: the door catch is thoughtfully designed. Many others have a nylon webbing loop at the end. BodyBoss has a steel ring. This makes it easier to clip bands in OR pass them through, rather than just having the option to pass them through. The nylon webbing is also extremely sturdy.Third and finally: the handles are built with the same kind of attention to details the door catch and barbell are. They have a steel ring, sturdy nylon webbing, and incredibly supporting foam for the hands.If there was a kit with just the accessories without the board and bands, I would find that ideal as those are some of the finest pieces of workout equipment I've seen for resistance bands. Sadly, they're not enough to propel this kit to a usable package for anyone but the weekend hobbyist.

The product is great but the seller sucks! They send items that are not complete and missing items and refuse to fix it. Amazon refused to make them send the d handle that was missing. They both suck. The actual product is wonderful!

Impressed with the ease of use of this gym. I was able to organize exercises to minimize switching the clips. Big negative is the little roller that is to be shut begin a door. On my second use, it pulled loose and the whole chain, metal hooks and such smashed into the back of my head. May have had a mild concussion. So we installed round anchors in the doorframe drilled into the 2x4 behind it. If you use it in a home not your own to modify. I recommend putting behind a bolt-lock door so there is not chance of it pulling loose or the door pulling open. Pictures of some exercises could have a bit more explanation but for the most part they mimic exercise machines at a gym and you can figure out how you are to move through the unit. Company also offers to email you exercises weekly for $10. If you search through the colors, some come with more add-ons if you don't care about the color.

I just got this and so far think it's a pretty great product. There are so many different exercises you can do with it. I have a few comments so far, though. First, the base seems a little light. I know they want to try to keep it portable, but I noticed that with some exercises the base seems to lift a little bit, and that's with me just using one band on the easiest setting. The second thing is that it didn't really come with any instructions. So I googled a YouTube video "BodyBoss-Product Learning-Learn How to Use Your BodyBoss with Kristi!" This video helped me understand how to set the bands for the different levels of resistance! I highly recommend watching it. The third and last comment is that I found the bands to be tighter than I expected. For me it was difficult to do any exercises over my head while in a standing position because the bands didn't seem to easily stretch that far. The people in the videos make it look super easy to just pull the bar up over your head and rest it on your shoulders for squats. For now, I've been doing squats holding the bar at collar bone height in front of me. I supposed in time I may be able to pull it all the way over. So far I'm glad I made this purchase. Hopefully I will get the results that I want.

This portable gym comes in several colors. I chose purple. I am beginning over again in fitness routines and this system is gentle on my body. It comes with a band placement chart, a suggested workout routine for beginner and moderate workouts with information for their video website with many types of routines to follow. It even comes with a warranty once the system is registered with BodyBoss. I purchased this system to help tone and rebuild my muscle groups after suffering an arterial tear two years ago. I highly recommend the BodyBoss 2.0, especially for people just starting an exercise routine. The resistance is gentle and I can feel my muscle groups toning from the inside of my body. I am not straining or being placed under strain. It has been difficult to find mild or gentle routines that will not put me at risk for another arterial tear. I have now found a system that works well.
