BEAR GRIPHip Band Circle - Heavy Duty Glute Activation Band with Elasticated Cotton for Superior Comfort and Enhanced Glute Strength, Perfect for Squats and Warm Ups

I wanted to wait a bit and use the glute band a few times before giving a review, as I wanted to make sure the elastics didn't snap or become loose.I am 5'2, 45kg and use the Medium band. As an intermediate at the gym but a novice at glute bands, I am giving you a review based solely on my experience.This is my 10th time using the band now, and whilst I admit the band was very strong for the first few uses, it has loosened up since then.It does what it says, it activates my legs and glutes and I can feel the band actually working my muscles (and leaves them burning!).In addition, the band stays in place perfectly in place and doesn't roll or move whilst doing exercises.This band is also perfect for squats, deadlifts, donkey kickbacks etc. but if you're not strong enough, it may be hard to stretch the band to the full tensile strength.Moving on, I think this band will last a while because the band is essentially made of loads of elastics woven together to make it strong and I haven't seen any snapping so far. I hope to one day use this band confidently for all my exercises and eventually be stronger than the band itself.I will recommend this glute band compared to the rubber ones (which get bad reviews about them snapping or rolling), I will definitely buy this one again if I ever need another band.

Ten Stars! I bought a medium black size and I am female, around 5’7 weighing 60kg. The size and fit is absolutely perfect. I found it perfect for activating my glutes before and during training. This band adds just the right amount of friction and elasticity. In terms of quality, the material is soft and doesn’t hurt my skin or leave marks. I think it's a nice cotton blend, soft to the touch, as far as bands go. Another thing I use the band for is for external rotators for my thighs. Really effective and seeing toning in my thighs. Squats are also awesome. This product is a five star. I am buying a blue large one for my husband. I want him to have a tight bum too! Thank you Bear Grips, you never fail and another top-of-the-class product once again.

I never leave Amazon reviews but this is the single best piece of gym kit i have ever bought.At the gym, I struggled to "feel the burn" and truly target my glutes during barbell hip thrusts and squats. I always felt it in my hamstrings more.I bought the bear grip (red and black version) to try out.This piece of kit has been life-changing for me. I take it to the gym every glute day and and use it every time I squat and hip-thrust. The band immediately puts pressure on your glutes and each loaded movement works them hard. For gym-goers with more experience, this band will "shock" your muscles into creating burn you've never managed to get before. I've found that it's extremely versatile and is useful on other exercises and can be used in conjunction with other gym machines (such as adding extra pressure on the Hip abduction machine).There's no need for weights. I've found that using it at home to do hip thrust/bridges with just bodyweight are just as effective and give you great "burn."It's also extremely durable. I've now had this for about half a year and I really do stretch it to it's limits with wide stances - there is no sign of wear and tear and the band is still as strong as it was when I first bought it, no slack. The band also has grip inside so it has never slid down my legs.In summary: I seriously recommend this if you're looking to enhance your glutes, I'm feeling the burn, seeing the difference and since using it have had compliments about how my rear looks. Honestly don't know how i'd get on without it, I'd say it's an essential workout item.

This is a great hip/glute band for activation work. I also use it on the leg press for knee placement/alignment. I have a high resistance band and can honestly say it’s better than any of the rubber resistance bands I’ve used. It doesn’t slip or twist when you’re doing your exercises which is a huge plus with these. Great value for money, I have Bear Grip wraps to help with my bar grip as well which have really helped me lift more. All in all this product and the brand in general are selling great products for a really reasonable price.

This looks to be a quality product but I have had to return it as it is far too heavy/strong for my use. I feel that the description of the product was lacking in as much as S M L did not give give a true picture of how much strength the bands needed and what level of fitness was required to use them safely. Had I been younger and fitter it could have been very useful hence my four stars. I shall continue to use the lighter more flexible bands although they roll up unlike these.

I have orders two hip bands for me and a friend. I have opened mine immediately and I realised that I chose right. The band is well made and very comfy. I have not used it a lot so I can right something more the durability but I can right that it comes with its own bag so you store it.As for the customer care from the moment it was delivered to me they have contact me to check if everything is ok with my purchase. An issue i had regarding the tension for the band I bought resolved immediately and they were very helpful.Thank you @beargrip

I use for activating my glutes and upper legs before deadlift or squats on powerlifting. I got the medium one which offers extra tension, and it’s fantastic even in first use, made me work hard and feel totally switched on for my first lift.Blue was a nice colour and also came with a nice little bag. Lastly I was really impressed at price. Have seen similar quality ones in my gym which were more expensiveSo it’s a 10/10 for me! Will defo recommend to others and also buy from these guys again too!

I was looking for new bands for exercise and I came across these. I like that they had different colours to choose from. They look well made. I got purple one in large and mine came with inside grip although the description says that purple is without. So I'm really happy with my purchase. I might get one in medium. Great customer service.
