An overview of our fitness bands

Verschiedene Fitnessbänder
Fitness bands come in a wide variety of designs. Not only the material makes a difference, but also the shape and application vary. So you don't lose track, we have put together a compact overview for you – including application, material, and advantages. The names of some manufacturers do not always directly reveal what the fitness bands are designed for. A Fit Loop Pro or just Theraband unfortunately does not say much about its composition or application. We would like to introduce you here to a selection of the most popular types of fitness bands and, of course, the suitable NEOLYMP fitness band.

Fitness bands short

The short fitness bands are closed loops and are characterized by their short length. They are also called Loop Bands, Resistance Bands, or more generally Theraband. These are mainly used for aerobic exercises. Many exercises can be made more difficult with a miniband, allowing you to experience a more intense workout. Like almost all types of fitness bands, minibands are made from different materials. Latex or rubber bands are sometimes simply called Rubber Bands.

NEOLYMP relies on a sustainable cotton-plastic fabric for minibands. This combines a pleasant skin feel with high slip resistance – even during sweat-inducing exercises. Of course, they are machine washable and come as a set in a practical carrying bag. In addition, with the purchase, you receive a free e-book that gives you over 100 exercises and further tips for training with the NEOLYMP fitness bands.




















Long fitness bands

These also closed fitness bands are longer than minibands, so they can be used for many exercises that replace gym equipment. For these, an anchor point on the floor or above head height, e.g. on a pull-up bar, is often needed. They get their name from their special suitability to facilitate pull-ups by attaching one end to the pull-up bar and stepping into the other end with the leg. Nevertheless, they are sometimes simply called resistance band, Resistance Band, or Strength Band.
With such intensive use, robust material is especially important to prevent stretching out. To achieve this, fitness bands made of pure plastic or rubber are often very thick, which leads to very stiff fitness bands that are uncomfortable to hold.

The NEOLYMP long fitness bands, on the other hand, consist of a high-quality cotton-plastic fabric and therefore offer both advantages: a sustainably pleasant skin feel and high durability. They remain slip-resistant in the long term.

Resistance Bands

For those who have wondered about the difference between pull-up bands and heavy resistance bands, we are happy to answer this question. It is not only the material that differs. In fact, the increased resistance characterizes this type of band. No pull-up band is as durable as a heavy resistance band.
Whether in the gym as a supplement, in physiotherapy, or for your bodyweight training at home, these bands maximize your training effect. Heavy Resistance Bands are mainly made from latex because only this material ensures such high resistance combined with a pleasant feel and extraordinary durability.

Our Heavy Resistance Bands achieve resistance from 1.5 kg up to an unprecedented 100 kg and are made from environmentally friendly natural latex. You can use them, just like our pull-up bands, as a supplement for your pull-up bar or for various bodyweight exercises. These bands are also available individually or as a set and come in a practical storage and transport bag.

Yoga strap

Yoga straps or bands, unlike most other fitness bands, are rigid, i.e., not stretchable and open. They often have loops at their ends, which are freely adjustable in good designs.
They are used to stabilize or simplify some yoga exercises or asanas. Specially designed exercises often serve stretching purposes. That is exactly why it is important that yoga straps are not stretchable.


NEOLYMP developed its own yoga strap together with yoga teachers. We make it from pure organic cotton and finish it with sturdy metal buckles, guaranteeing you a pleasant skin feel and stability for your next flow. Our yoga strap is delivered to your home with a door anchor and a small carrying bag.
