Non-Latex Bands

• They will not cause a skin allergy as they are chemically inert.
• They are made from thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). 
• These bands are not biodegradable.
• They are more durable than rubber bands.
• Their elasticity is not as good as the latex bands but still usable for commercial use.

Fabric Bands

• They are UV resistant and work with other environmental factors.
• The bands do not slip because of the fabric.
• The elasticity is not as stretchable as the other band materials because it is fabric.
• They are biodegradable and will not cause a skin allergy.
• They are not suitable for the elderly, beginners, and those that are recovering as they are high resistant.

Latex Bands

• Latex bands can cause skin allergies and should not be used at gyms where there are diverse customers. Having them in stock for bulk wholesale businesses is advisable.
• They can stretch quite well and are usually the best option if you are looking for more elasticity. 
• Latex bands are for users looking for both high and low resistance bands. They do not have a large range of resistance and they are made from natural rubber.
• They are easy to clean as they do not attract much dirt. They are also lightweight.

What is the approximate resistance that commercial exercise bands can manage?

Each band varies in level of resistance. The minimum resistance for exercise bands is 3 lbs but it can reach a maximum of 200 lbs. Below are the general limits for each band: 

• Therapy bands resistance range from 3-10 lbs.

Should the material of the handles be considered before buying the exercise bands?

It is advisable to check the material of the handles before you purchase them. It is good to know how comfortable the handles are. 

It is all about making the user experience a pleasant one. Checking the handles is best as some bands have interchangeable handles that can be swapped as needed. Some are made of hard plastic which is not comfortable and makes the grip difficult. 

It is best to buy exercise bands that are extra padded to give the user a more comfortable workout. Always make sure that the handle size is correct, having the incorrect size can make the users’ workout unpleasant.

What are the qualities of the snap-resistant exercise bands?

For the safety of your customers, it is advised that you purchase snap-resistant exercise bands as this will prevent injuries. Make sure to purchase the commercial exercise bands that are labeled as snap resistant. 

Regular checks should be done on all exercise bands to assess whether there is any damage. If exercise bands are used regularly, they could snap easily due to wear and tear. Checking for any cracks or abnormalities in the exercise bands will stop any user from being injured. 

Cleaning the exercise bands with chemicals is not advised as this will ruin the quality of the bands.   

Does the quality of exercise bands differ between manufacturers?

Yes, because each manufacturer has a different manufacturing process, which affects the durability of the exercise bands. Below is an explanation for the best methods of the tube and flat bands.

The resistant cord method is used by manufacturers to increase the durability of tube bands. The seams are not visible because the tubes are woven together.

The manufacturing process for flat bands consists of continuous layering.  

This method is time-consuming as it prevents tearing and damage to the band. Using this method does increase the price.

How do you maintain the quality of the wholesale exercise bands?

It is advisable to check exercise bands before they are used to make sure that they do not exceed their shelf life. It is best to keep the bands out of direct sunlight as the UV light destroys the bands. 

Using cleaning solutions on the exercise bands is not advised. This will damage the quality of the bands and cause them to snap. It can cause serious injury to the user during a workout. The fabric band is the only band that needs to be cleaned as it absorbs dirt like any other fabric.
