Harambe System ReviewsSee store reviews

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...

There were three things that struck me in a real positive way about the purchase of the black (factory second) plate. First, it was very well packaged and arrived nicely sealed. Second, my wife and I were surprised by just how heavy the plate was. We were expecting something plastic and hollow, but this thing is SOLID! And third, we could not find anything wrong with it. We thought we might find a chip or blem, but this plate is perfect as far as we can tell. We're very impressed with Harambe an...

Having received my Harambe T-Bundle a few weeks back, I want to say I am very impressed by the high quality and construction of the entire kit. Unfortunately, due to a painful shoulder injury I sustained prior to receiving my Harambe system, I have not been able to workout for any significant amount of time. Hoping to heal and recover from the injury soon. And ready to commit to the recommended workout schedule. At 64, injuries don’t heal as quickly as I would like :-). However, I am de...

I am very passionate about band training and have been using bars for several years. I wanted to take my training to the next level and perform a larger variety of exercises, so I decided to try the handles. Wow, they are great tools! These are helping me to correct strength imbalances between my limbs and strengthen muscles that weren't getting activated as well with barbell movements. They feel very study and the spin eliminates any wrist discomfort. I'm able to put maximum force into the move...

Have been happy with the older Harambe plate but decided to give this a try despite a little voice telling me it wouldn’t be worth the money. Yes it’s expensive but it’s rock solid like everything Harambe sells and the workout experience is somewhat unexpectedly a huge improvement over conventional plates. Band motion is incredibly smooth and consistent. No sticking or skipping of bands. Even resistance on both sides of the bar at all times. A worthy upgrade and you may not realize what you...

Firstly, the service from Harambe is first class, from ordering through to receipt of the order. I was kept informed of each stage of the order and delivery (to Ireland) was very fast and hassle free. Yes, the items are expensive, even more so if ordering from abroad, but the quality of each item is truly unbeatable. The bar, plate, handles, ropes and block will easily last a lifetime of use and the bands are really the best I have seen anywhere. They are much stonger than any others I have trie...

I’m not one to normally review things but felt the need to make an exception. Just completed my first Harambe L work out (x3 pull, one set to failure, with a few extras-shrugs, pull aparts, Ferro and drag curls). Here’s my impression. First of all the bar itself. Packaged really well. Not just tossed in a shipping box. It was almost like unpacking a piece of jewelry. You can easily see the pride the manufacturer has in his product. The ropes and rods packaged individually in their o...

Nice, short bar. I switched over to the T bar exclusively for about a month now. It definitely serves its purpose as a travel bar. There is a different feel to it overall as you would expect, but it gets the job done. I've moved back to the L bar for skull crushers, as I wasn't able to get the feel I wanted on those without using other contraptions that I normally don't like to do. The build is every bit as good as the other products in the overall system. The end result is that I will use it ...

Cyber Plate is a huge step up in the band training world as it really addresses one of the pain points for many and that's friction and unbalanced movements of bands. This issue has been remedied for years now with messy silicon band oils, but that is a remnant of the past. The rollers on the Cyber Plate are so smooth and ensure that every repetition is smooth and balanced just like free weights. The overall design is luxurious and the heft signals that it is built of quality materials built to ...

I doubt I could tell the difference between these blems I received with my K system vs brand new if they were both right in front of me. Really do appreciate that discount though, and love being able to change how I use my bands in addition to the bar now. The whole Harambe system is amazing to work out with - from someone who shied away from bands out of fear of injuring myself due to cheap, poorly made tension equipment. For dipping my toes into resistance band training I wanted the best ...

This thing is amazing! Such an upgrade from previous footplates I have used. The UHMW material feels amazing on the feet and the self lubricating properties of it are easy on the bands and make lifts so smooth. Cross channels open up so much versatility for movements including lying down bench which is a game changer. While expensive, the quality is incredible and worth every penny. Combine that with the amazing service of Harambe and Khalid and you can’t go wrong buying this footplate. Highly r...

If you have a history of weight lifting and using EZ curl bars for bicep and tricep work, this bar is going to feel right at home with your Harambe setup. I can tell that Harambe System did their homework to determine the perfect curvature of the bar which would optimize hand placement for various movements. This bar is the real deal, and I would definitely recommend it being purchased as an add on to your Harambe System if Harambe is your primary means of working out. I would recommend that ...

I've got a garage gym with a power rack, deadlift platform, kettlebells, dumbbells, you name it. They're all great, but as an older lifter I've been feeling more beat up after my workouts. The Harambe system could replace virtually my entire gym; if you get a little creative with the bars and handles, there aren't many lifts you can't do with Harambe. Best of all, I can push hard without the tweaks and twinges I've come to expect with free weights. Squats and deadlifts are especially good us...

Very briefly looked at competitor products before jumping on this. I'm a creature of the barbell through and through. Being a taller guy, I really wanted a longer bar and Harambe is the only one to get that right. Along with the rest of the system with ropes and spacers, you can use pretty much whatever band you want depending on how you want to dial in tension. The whole package is completely over-engineered and I love that. I can retain nuances of barbell movements I want and benefit from char...
