With these bands we can do 100’s of different resistance exercises, they are just like using dumbbell weights. We work all the main muscles groups such as Shoulders, Arms, Backs and Chest, Bums and Legs

We only use professional quality resistance tubing with handles. They are not the light weak easy bands that other classes use. These bands are tough. The bands range from light to heavy which means we can challenge the weakest to the strongest clients Guaranteed! The strength and resistance of some tubes are so hard that none of the team at RHF have been able to do a full shoulder press or bicep curl with them. You select the resistance tubing that best challenges you.
