Buying guide

Resistance bands and bodyweight tools are the cheapest way to train anywhere — a lounge, a hotel room or a park. Loop bands are great for warm-ups and glutes; tube bands with handles and a door anchor mimic gym cables; a doorway pull-up bar is the cheapest back trainer you can own. Assist bands help you get your first pull-up.
