The BeMaxx resistance bands are characterised by their attractive, colourful design. They are made from sustainable natural rubber and the snap hooks are made from robust stainless steel. The connections make a stable impression and ensure safety during training.
The only point of criticism is the strong chemical odour, which only diminishes slightly even after several days of airing out.
Overall, the Resistance Bands are convincing in terms of both quality and design.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. Some complain that the straps break after a while. The chemical odour is mentioned several times. On the other hand, the good quality, the versatile application options and the excellent price-performance ratio are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the good quality of the set and the wide range of possible uses. We were unable to confirm the criticism from consumers that the tapes tear quickly and this may be due to improper use. Detailed information on this can be found in the instructions for use. The criticism of the chemical odour is justified.
Prices of up to €59.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €19.99 . The Resistance Band Set from BeMaxx is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €39.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is good.
