A note about operation of the ankle straps: you have to open them up and turn them so the scratchy Velcro is on the outside away from your skin...place the ring where you want it, wrap the remaining strap around your leg and then thread the strap through the ring and pull snug before securing the Velcro.
This way it will stay on no matter what weight you use. I promise...I use A LOT of weight for leg training.
I have been involved in health and fitness for over 20 years as a Body Builder, Body Sculptor, Trainer, Therapist, Coach and many other positions in the field. I am currently the Director of Personal Success Now.
I bought this to check it out - to determine if it was a good option for some of my clients who do not want to go to the gym. I also travel and wanted some way to ensure I would have the ability to work out anywhere.
Finally, no more work outs with a towel for resistance!!
This little gym in a bag is great. It comes in a small bag and is very light. It comes with a poster or book demonstrating possible workouts and it comes with a DVD (or CD) that describes and demonstrates workout possibilities. You can play this CD as a "trainer" or view the exercises singly.
The DVD has in a very good core performance, functional workout and some excellent information on nutrition. (The CD features Trainer and Fitness Model Linda Leene, and describes and demonstrates workout possibilities. You can play this CD as a "trainer" or view the exercises singly)
You get the aforementioned ankle straps, handles, and a door anchor. You also get a 5, 10, and 15 pound cable. The weight range is 5 to 30 pounds in 5-pound increments by combining the cables. The handles are comfortable and the cables hook and unhook very easily.
The possible weight/cable combinations look like this:
5 / 10 / 15 / 20=15+5 / 25=15+10 / 30=15+10+5
Additional cables are only $4 from the company...note: if you need more weight, you only need to get another heavy cable...because you can create any combination up to 45 pounds in 5 pound increments with only the 1 additional cable.
Combinations from 35 to 45 pounds look like this:
35=15+15+5 / 40=15+15+10 / 45=15+15+10+5
Every time you need more weight, you only need another 15-pound cable.
The weights discussed above represent the resistance for each hand. So, doing curls with the heavy cable is like curling 15 pounds in each hand.
I highly recommend this as an at-home and on the go training tool!
For safety - Always check your cables for wear before working out. Always make sure the door anchor is secure in the door and the door is closed and LOCKED before training with the door anchor. Always warm up before your workout. Always warm down and do flexibility movements after your workout.
There are down-loadable sheets for "tone and shape" and for "muscle and strength" 12-week workouts.

FITNESS IN A BAG!February 17, 2007 musicreviewer(North Port, FL USA) 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I have used this product for over a year now, and have recommended it to many of my exercize-phobic friends.
I purchased it to supplement my regimen on days when weather prohibits swimming in my pool, which is only about 60 days per year. I enjoyed them so much I now use them and some dumbells every night in addition to the swimming. It is interesting how the bands and the dumbells provide a different workout doing the same exercizes. I like alternating both.
The best feature in my opinion is the instructional DVD. The instructor clearly demonstrates the correct way to use the bands. It really helps. Also, the chart that comes with the kit is easy to understand, but nothing beats the DVD. After awhile, of course, you don't need it.
The blue band snapped after about six months. I called GoFit and they promptly sent a free replacement which has lasted.
Bottom-line: after a year of faithful use I can honestly say I am stronger and look better. What more can you ask for?

Somebody was really thinking clearly in designing the GoFit Ultimate ProGym. This kit is very easy to pack and yet has enough resistance to support a pretty thorough upper and lower body workout when you travel. The quality of construction is as good as any I've seen in competing resistance band products. It has all the attachments required to hook it up to door frames and to attach to your feet.
If I have one beef it is that the accompanying DVD needs additional engineering so that you can access individual exercises directly from menus. Some options are offered but it doesn't always reliably return to the menu after going over an exercise.
One addiditonal benefit is access to the web site. There are other exercises on the web site and there are "mini" videos available to demosntrate how to do them properly.
We are so pleased with this product that we bought a second one to keep at our vacation condo.

Before I actually used the Ultimate Progym in a bag. I believed that the only way one can effectively do resistance training is with a good set of weights or use the professional equipment in a gym. Well in my case desperate times call for desperate measures. I have been on the road for work during the past year and could not make use of my gym membership. The workout equipment available to me was questionable. So I decided to try this product thinking that at least I would be doing something. Well not only was I doing something, I was doing a lot of something. By using this equipment and eating right I lost 30 lbs in 5 months. These tubes are awesome! I can do just about any exercise I could do with free weights. The best part is that I can work my body to failure without the fear of dropping the bar on myself. My experience with the company has also been excellent, when a band snap after some over use, they replaced it for me for free. I was considering buying a high priced body weight machine but after using these tubes those machines are not worth it. The only critism I have is that I cannot buy an additional 20 lb tube. If they made a 20 lb clip on tube this product would be perfect. I highly recommend it.
