The Xertube is the ideal workout tool you can use anywhere, any time for safe and effective total-body conditioning. Comes with one Xertube, two exercise charts and a door attachment.Looking for a great way to tone your entire body? Turn to the purple Xertube resistance band, which creates just the right amount of tension for your home workout. Made of the highest quality rubber, Xertube bands are designed to offer progressive resistance, which increases the resistance level as your body exerts additional force. That means the harder and faster you move, the more resistance the tubes provide, helping you isolate targeted muscle groups more effectively. Plus, you can use them anywhere, anytime. All you need is a little space to begin a safe, effective total body conditioning program. This purple Xertube offers extra-heavy resistance compared to other Xertubes--with a weight equivalent of approximately 20 pounds--and comes with a door attachment and exercise chart. It's intended for extremely fit men and women.
Sports reviews of SPRI ES503R Xertube Resistance Band with Door Attachment and Exercise Charts (Purple, Very Heavy)
Customer Review: Very versatile
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The Xertube purple (very heavy) resistance bands are perfect for their purpose. The purple band provides resistance equivalent to about 20 pounds. The great thing about this band and other bands in general is their versatility. They're very light so you can take them just about anywhere, which makes them perfect travelling companions. They're much more useful than weights (not to mention cheaper!). With the band, you can do regular curls just as you could with dumbbells, but the band helps you go beyond that! With the band, you can take part in many various exercises that involve the core that are impossible to do with dumbbells. I've always had a strong throwing arm, so it's something I take pride in. Resistance bands like this one help me work on all my "throwing" muscles at one time!
Considering that the Xertube resistance band is cheap, lightweight, and versatile, it's hard to see how you could possibly go wrong with it.
There is one very minor thing that needs to be pointed out, and it's that the door attachment will come flying at you if someone opens the door while you're working out. You should probably notify everyone in your house that they should knock before coming in your room if they see the little black attachment by the hinges.
After 6 months of pulling on it, and stepping on the band for specific positioning requirements, I'm happy to say that it is still holding up very well. I highly recommend it and it is well worth the money. I just wish they made a band with a higher resistance!
Customer Review: Excellent resistance tube
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased my two Spri resistance tubes from a local sports equipment store for almost twice as advertised on Amazon.
This tube(purple) is more than adequate for the mid-experienced trainers. Recently, I injured a shoulder at the gym and had to take some time off from heavy lifting so i started using this at home for the last several months and the results are quite impressive. I use this mainly for upper body workouts, but it can also be used for lower body as well.
If you use both handles per arm and reduce the length of the tube, you can get close to 70-80 lbs of resistance. This is useful for curls, shoulder press, lat workouts and others that require higher resistance. Just remember that you need to use the door attachment for several of these workouts.
Things I like:
1.)High potential for increasing resistance to 80+ lbs(using both handles).
2.)Overall good quality product EXCEPT for the plastic handle. It can bend once you increase the resistance to 80+ lbs.
3.)Portable
4.)Useful for all major workouts(arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs).
5.)Door attachment works well as long as you use it properly.
6.)Inexpensive
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Good luck
Customer Review: Best value on the market
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've tried multiple brands of resistance bands, and these have to be the best value. For less than $10 each, don't pay more for overpriced competitors. Other brands have foam handles that can harden and/or deteriorate only after a few months of use; these PVC handles lasts for years and years (going on 2 years). The nylon handle strap design is very strong and durable, unlike the adjustable-type bands which can slip during use (very unsafe). The door attachment is also very handy for incorporating more exercises and will not slip.
I own a set of medium (red), heavy (blue), and very heavy (purple) and these replaced all my dumbbells. If you need more resistance, just loop/wrap/lengthen the band and the resistance is increased. Or even double the bands (use two at a time- can't do that with other brands) for max resistance. Progressive resistance is also something that you don't get from dumbbells. Perfect for working out at home or with programs like P90x. I have also used these professionally in therapy/rehab. settings as well.
Customer Review: Exercise on the Run
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Being deployed to Afghanistan makes it sometimes hard to find the right equipment to work out. The SPRI ES503R Xertube definetely comes in handy in matters of storage and travel. I work out everyday, alternating cardio and weights. I mostly use the Xertube for arms and shoulders; it gives you a wide range of resistance, from hard to I can barely do any bicep curls. The resistance on it is very high, unless you are really strong, you won't be able to do shoulders presses with it. The material is very thick and durable. The handles are made out of plastic, really hard plastic. I recommed the Xertube if you're looking for a resistance range and don't want to spend the money on different sets of dumbells; or if you're deployed like I am and don't have the appropriate work out equipment.Customer Review: Very nice for travel, home gym, beginner

Like others have said, this is no substitute for a hard core workout. Even the extra strength band.
The band is high quality and the grips are very comfortable, which is probably the most important aspect of using this type of equipment.
This IS great for travel for extra body part but the chest unless you have a pole or tree or the like to wrap it around behind you. I did not attempt any leg or ab exercises with it. It fit very well into my backpack.
I use it sometimes at home but if anything more to help me stretch after a gym workout then to get a "pump". Though this would be great for a person just starting out in exercise or a person that is not very strong because it does offer some resistance. I'm sure women could benefit from this greatly.
