I have the complete Harambe System and bought the blue ropes and handles. I think the system is great. I prefer to work out at home and avoid the nonsense at the gym. You know, one guy is on the phone, two guys are in the way talking. Social Gym Rats. But my reason for getting in shape is for mountain sports. I backcountry ski, lift ski, hike, and mountain bike. You should be spreading the word to athletes about the Harambe system. This is an all around great way to stay in shape. Thanks Tom

I have had the L bar for a few months now and was using it with the competitors board and SS bands. I just picked up the Harambe plate and bands. It is a completely different experience. Love it! T handles are next.

I was lucky enough to win one of these ahead of the official release. If I hadn’t won one I would definitely be purchasing one on day one. It’s very nice for a couple of uses. If you’re someone who does your chest press laying on the board, this adds just enough cushion to make it more comfortable to perform and makes it feel a little closer to a weight lifting bench. Also, if you’re a user that has hardwood/laminate flooring that is slick, you can stick it underneath the board when performi...

I was disappointed that the equipment is made in China. That’s just me. However the equipment is top notch h and all should last a very long time. The owner created a unique band system that is well designed and flexible. I look forward to test the cyberplate. Harambe is a bit over priced but one pays for quality.

Hello, I'm a 63 year old man that has been doing resistance training most of life since High School mostly with free-weights and machines. After multiple training injuries over the last decade, I started looking for a different way to train that would make me less susceptible to injury as well as joint pain. I learned about resistance bands and bought a highly regarded system and started using it it in May of 2023. It didn't take me long to realize how effective and safe training with resista...

38" Black Band

Carlos D.

I wasn't sure how much of this was "hype" and if the price was warranted (compared to other cheaper bands I had used before) but the BIG jump in quality is apparent at first glance, and the resistance feels very different as well... still smooth throughout the whole movement, but much stiffer, in some ways, similar to free weights. I'm still getting used to the resistance adjustments, but the quality of all the equipment I've received so far is ridiculously good! Amazing product!

38" Bands Bundle

Kevin B.

Very impressed with the quality of all the items in my bundle. I feel like I got good value for my money. I'm also very pleased with the array of exercises I can perform in a small space. In case anyone is wondering, you can use multiple bands to fine tune the resistance of your exercises. The four bands included with my package will keep me busy for a long time!

The T Bundle

Amazing Belt! It's perfect for those wanting to do leg day while giving your back a rest or those who really just want to focus on their quads or calfs! Great addition to my harambe collection

Harambe bands are ideal for exclusive resistance band training. Highly recommend. I also have complete set of EliteFTS 41” and short (12”) resistance bands so I’m directly comparing to other high quality, layered latex bands. Harambe bands are thicker (more layers) and less wide than any comparable band. You can stack next to one another rather than on top of one another, which lets them slide smoother on plate with less wear and tear. 38” length is a great works for everything option to start m...

Just got back into training after a couple years layoff. Harambe system bands helped me ease back into training again. They are also kicking my butt in a good way. Won"t be without them now. great product.

The ropes and rods have really changed my front squat. The ropes were a bit long so I made two knots in each of them and now they are perfect. For reference I am 5'5". It allows me to use the band doubled up under the platform and get much more weight on my squat because my starting point is at the low end of the squat.

Rope

Jordan H.

The new black ropes are a significant improvement over an already excellent product. They are smoother, add resistance, and make the product feel even more like “typical” weights. This is a fantastic system that continues to get better. Well done!

The wedges are great. I saw them being used in the videos. I thought it was interesting. I ordered them and am glad I did. I use them for calf raises, both standing and seated........it's great. Then I use them for my front and back squats. The wedges help put most of the stress to the front of the thigh where it should be. Highly recommend

Wedges

Alejandro P.

These wedges have great traction and despite having a slick look and feel. They are easy enough to stack and assemble in a variety of ways. As for whether they work, that will depend on the exercise you select (front squats, in my case) and your technique. Overall, I see these lasting for a long time and have no complains about their design.

I do most of my exercises with arm bar now. Like the way it angles - works well with various movements even chest presses. It was heavier and thicker than I initially imagined, but works well for me.

Arm Bar

Ralph K.

Very impressed by this setup. The quality of the materials is evident, and all the components feel solid and very well made. It provides a very stable experience even with heavy loads, and I’m expecting many years of good use from this system. The fact that it is so compact is a huge benefit for spaces without dedicated workout rooms.

The K Bundle

Patrick S.

Out of all the platforms I've tried, this is the absolute best resistance band platform. The dimensions and channelse, the finish and so forth, it all adds up to a great experience and I especially love the curved roundings on the side, that forces the resistance bands to stay centered while in use.

The Plate

Derek H.

I know it’s expensive for me in the UK to order but I read the reviews and decided to go for it. I have to say I’m really impressed with the quality of the equipment. I’m already enjoying a complete workout at home as well

For a few excersises (bench and tricep extension)I was in want of more tension in the lower part of the range of motion. Spacers delivered exactly what I was looking for. With the new design they can be added at the end (after bands and slings are fully loaded) really easily. Highly recommend.

Spacers

Paul P.

A thick, sturdy floorplate that provides a solid base for all your exercises. The material used is a low friction composite that should extend the life of the resistance bands.

Legacy Series: UHMWPE Plate

I opted for the standard plate over the smaller T plate. For me it was the perfect choice: it's a great size. Workouts on it are great. It's a solid and well-constructed piece of equipment. I really like it. Thanks, Khalid!

Extremely tough resistance band, ive tried all of the highest tension single loop bands on the market and nothing comes close to this band in terms of tension. It is absurdly strong.

The Cyberplate is a next level piece of fitness engineering. The rollers make every single movement even, and now I can really feel the progressive overload as I inch through the spacers, ropes, and bands. I am excited to see how much longevity this system adds to the bands, but there is already a noticeable difference in the way the bands look, almost unused, from switching to the Cyberplate a month ago. Thank you so much Khalid and Harambe System.

Having used the competitor’s product, I have to say this is the definitive product! It may not be as quick to put a band on it (by like 4 seconds!), but for the safety and smoothness, it’s my choice bar to use!

Construction is first class and well thought out. The workouts are very intense and the muscle stays contracted on each rep. You can get to failure with each set. Overall a great alternative to traditional weight training. A must.

I love the quality of the Harambe equipment. I have bought fitness equipment over the past 40 years and it's not often that you get a company, that builds equipment that will last you a lifetime. Also, some of the best customer service I've experience.

Harrison R.

It’s been 15 years with weights, 5 years with bands — this is hands down the best workout I’ve ever had. Not even close. Bench press, incline, curls, shoulder press, stand up rows, amazing dead lifts and squats — all with the smoothness of free weights, benefits of variable resistance and no wear and tear on the bands. The cyber plate was the missing piece to a perfect system. Looks great in my guest room / gym, and so beneficial to fit in better-than-gym quality workouts in the period of time...

Jeremy D.

Was highly skeptical, but curious enough to try it out. What a pleasant surprise! From an amateur bodybuilder background I grew intensely bored of weight lifting the past 8-9 years. Harambe system has allowed a crucial part of health maintenance to return to my life without driving 40 min round trip to do a 1.5 hour lift.

I didn't know if I would use it, but wanted the complete Harambe product anyway. Had it two weeks and had to travel, so glad I had it, made everything so much easier. Great product, extremely well thought out.

Ronnie Jr R.

Your equipment is really well made. I appreciate the quality of everything that I've purchased from Harambe. I also appreciate the customer service: for reasons that I don't understand, the delivery of my order failed and was returned to Harambe. You guys sent it back out immediately and were super helpful. Thank you!!!!!

I think the rollers make it a great addition but if I was a nomad and packing it with me as portable I might opt for a lighter version if you were inclined to make one. It's a keeper for sure.

This plate is smooth as butter and strong as an ox. Used it for the first time and it is my favorite. I will take it on every trip. I have several plates at home that I will continue to use there but I like the new urban camo above the rest.

The Harambe footboard is solid. The width feels natural on squats, and the cross channels provide optional band positioning that many other boards don't accommodate. The grip on top is nice and the non slip pads on the bottom are a nice touch.

Michael E.

I have been utilizing resistance training for over six years. That is the only lifting I do. Harambe is a great system. I love the versatility. From the smooth lifting with the Cyber Plate and Cyber bar to the tension created by the bands, I love this system and will continue to use the products and support the company!

These are some solid wedges! I even take these to the gym to squat with shoes on. It makes it so much more comfortable to start off from the sitting position to a front squat. Amazing combined with the Harambe system. Less pressure on the lower back when you initially stand up to set up for a squat. Furthermore, it increase your range of motion comfortably. I LOVE how the Harambe system are even designed to be used barefoot! These wedges have amazing grips even when you’re on them barefoot. Whe...

As someone who has been working out solely with resistance bands for 2 years, I wanted to find a way to improve the experience. Several users on Reddit talked about how the Harambe T Bar changed their resistance band workouts in a really positive way. Wow, were they right! This bar (and the footplate) totally elevated my workouts. It also made me feel more sturdy while doing certain exercises. I wish I had found this sooner!

The T Bar

Donald H.

Coming from a different band system, the feeling is night and day. I struggled making gains because of lack of progressive overload with other bars. Now I can dial in almost exactly how much tension I want like putting weight on the bar. Speaking of weight on the bar. It feels like pumping iron with increased tension in the low range. Also I feel the actual muscle being worked a lot more. Exercises feel more stable with the independent pulleys. It's a high quality product and it's incredibly fu...

I was skeptical on buying the cork, but it's worth the investment. Makes setting up the bands easier giving it a platform to sit up off the board. What I like most about it is the feeling that I'm unracking the bar from the bench when doing chest press using the cross channels on the plate. It seems gimmicky, but it's a well thought out product that I use with almost every exercise.

The Cork Block

William B.

I first saw the yoga block idea when watching various Harambe videos and immediately saw it's value as both a safety measure and an aid to setting up the bands for various workout options. The Harambe Yoga Block takes things to the next level with the addition of a few dedicated channels which allow the bar to stay exactly where you want it do during set up and between sets. It is a simple yet brilliant idea!!

I am an X3 enthusiast but the 38” Harambe bands are better for every major exercise from both a length and uniform tension perspective. The min/max tension ranges are calibrated better. Typically, the tension doubles from low to high on Harambe bands. Some X3 bands triple or more - so going up in band color can be challenging. At 5’8”, I would have to wrap X3 41” bands for chest, tricep & DL. The 38” Harambe is perfect. Better than the Serious Steel 37” as well.
