Very Quick
"They do have a pretty strong rubber scent that rubs off on your hands, but the more I use them the more that goes away."
"They first come lightly dusted so they don t stick together, but with use, that quickly goes away and that s when you start to regret the purchase."
"Within the 7 months, I have snapped the black band (X-Heavy) twice and the red band (Heavy) once after using them nearly everyday."
"* I purchased two sets of the Fir Simply resistance bands (one for me and another for my wife) as we recently began the 80 Day Obsession workouts."
"I did day one and felt with them rolling I figured it was because I wasn't used to them ad probably had them in wrong but day two which was leg day they were a major pain in the a**."
"I had seen these bands before but wasn't sure if they really worked."
"I was a little hesitant when I first got them because of how brittle the elastics felt - but kept with them for the last few months, as therapy bands really help me do some good physical therapy."

"For example, I was using them on the stairmaster the other day, and were rolling up constantly so I eventually gave up and did something else. These are my first resistance bands so I don't know if all bands roll up with certain exercises or if it's just these... They do have a pretty strong rubber scent that rubs off on your hands, but the more I use them the more that goes away."
"They first come lightly dusted so they don t stick together, but with use, that quickly goes away and that s when you start to regret the purchase. I recently repurchased this item because I lost the one I previously had (same one from before the booty band fad)- so I trusted the only ones I ve ever tried... They re gonna shoot down/up your legs/off your shoes and it s really frustrating taking time out of my workout to untwist these and reposition them ever couple of reps."
"Within the 7 months, I have snapped the black band (X-Heavy) twice and the red band (Heavy) once after using them nearly everyday. The green (Lightest) and yellow (Light) bands have gone untouched and the blue band (Medium) has held up for use as an arm workout band... ), then I would recommend getting a set of bands that has fewer bands so that the quality is increased in the bands you will use the most."
"* I purchased two sets of the Fir Simply resistance bands (one for me and another for my wife) as we recently began the 80 Day Obsession workouts. The bands have been working very well, come with 5 (many only had four), and seem to be a quality product at a great price... This can be very frustrating if you re doing a high intensity interval training like we are and you have to stop to unroll a band."
"* These were my first bands ever and I bought them to do my 8 day obsession work outs but we're very disappointed. I did day one and felt with them rolling I figured it was because I wasn't used to them ad probably had them in wrong but day two which was leg day they were a major pain in the a**... They haven't broken yet though I have been fighting with them so that's good I just wish they didn't roll."
"I had seen these bands before but wasn't sure if they really worked... I wanted something low impact because of surgeries that I've had and these work great... After this quick workout, I feel like I've done something good for my health."
"I was a little hesitant when I first got them because of how brittle the elastics felt - but kept with them for the last few months, as therapy bands really help me do some good physical therapy. The medium yellow band just snapped today under minor resistance, with the x-light green one snapping similarly a few weeks ago. I use them about 3-4 times per week for about 5-10 minutes, so it's not as if they'd been under massive strain."

"I like that it comes with the extra light and extra heavy bands, I feel like most brands come with four bands instead of five. I have used all of them at this point and I love how they amp up my workouts. I will say, they work better for me when I'm wearing shorts, and I've found that they can roll up when I'm wearing leggings and doing certain exercises. For example, I was using them on the stairmaster the other day, and were rolling up constantly so I eventually gave up and did something else. These are my first resistance bands so I don't know if all bands roll up with certain exercises or if it's just these... I love that they come with a little bag that I can easily throw in my gym bag. They do have a pretty strong rubber scent that rubs off on your hands, but the more I use them the more that goes away."
"They first come lightly dusted so they don t stick together, but with use, that quickly goes away and that s when you start to regret the purchase. I recently repurchased this item because I lost the one I previously had (same one from before the booty band fad)- so I trusted the only ones I ve ever tried. If you re sweaty- this will get sweaty and start sticking to itself and start flying around everywhere. If you re using these for upper body, it s okay I guess... They re gonna shoot down/up your legs/off your shoes and it s really frustrating taking time out of my workout to untwist these and reposition them ever couple of reps. These are basically the only cheap bands I can find but now I regret spending money on this instead of saving up and buying the fabric booty bands for $40. Save your time, effort, and money if you plan on wrapping these around anywhere else but your hands..."
"* I purchased these bands for the first time 7 months ago. Since then I have encouraged many of my friends interested in adding something new to their workout routine to purchase these bands as well... However, depending on your fitness level, there maybe different bands more suitable for your needs. Within the 7 months, I have snapped the black band (X-Heavy) twice and the red band (Heavy) once after using them nearly everyday. The green (Lightest) and yellow (Light) bands have gone untouched and the blue band (Medium) has held up for use as an arm workout band... ), then I would recommend getting a set of bands that has fewer bands so that the quality is increased in the bands you will use the most. Overall, great product and I would recommend to anyone that won't necessarily use the bands everyday or will utilize all of the band sizes more often."
"* I purchased two sets of the Fir Simply resistance bands (one for me and another for my wife) as we recently began the 80 Day Obsession workouts. The bands have been working very well, come with 5 (many only had four), and seem to be a quality product at a great price... First, these bands were a bit too long for my wife s legs. If you have skinnier legs you ll want to look for 9 loops, rather than 12 like these are. That will ensure you re getting a full workout for the full rep... This can be very frustrating if you re doing a high intensity interval training like we are and you have to stop to unroll a band. This didn t happen in the beginning, but as I use these more they seem to occur fairly often."
"* These were my first bands ever and I bought them to do my 8 day obsession work outs but we're very disappointed. I did day one and felt with them rolling I figured it was because I wasn't used to them ad probably had them in wrong but day two which was leg day they were a major pain in the a**... I figure they would roll when I had them above my knees but even at my calves they just rolled. I have a tight schedule to work with and I wasted half of my time fixing the dang things. If your a bigger God don't get them. Now if you have smaller thighs then go for it. They haven't broken yet though I have been fighting with them so that's good I just wish they didn't roll."
"* When I was in the hospital, my doctor recommended that I begin working out. I had seen these bands before but wasn't sure if they really worked... It has been a few weeks and I have been pleasantly surprised... So much so that she is using them while I'm at work... I wanted something low impact because of surgeries that I've had and these work great. Started with the lowest possible just to get used to them... After this quick workout, I feel like I've done something good for my health."
