Harambe System Reviews

What to say, it’s wedges. They have no smell like many basic ones on Amazon and they are also just slightly larger than some of those basics ones. They are great

Love from the first squat! I have joint issues in my knees and shoulders and have struggled to push with higher weights for things like squats, deadlifts and overhead presses. 4 weeks in I am feeling LESS pain then ever before and am pushing harder every workout. I feel like I finally found my workout after years of pain.

The Harambe system is incredible. The attention to detail of each component is unmatched. These rods (combined with the various ropes) make loading an unloading bands very easy to do. They also provide a smooth and even resistance that will never damage the bands due to the hand polished design. I highly recommend if you are considering a band training system that you pull the trigger and get a Harambe System. You wont regret it.

I got the gray band because I wanted to be sure I had plenty of resistance options. Little did I know that the basic bands that come with the Harambe System are very challenging. I am really looking forward to building up to some super heavy squats and deadlifts with this band. The Serious Steel bands are very well made and provide excellent resistance that should challenge most people.

First and foremost, I want to speak about Customer Service. Harambe System has the best customer service that I have dealt with in a long time. I am the proud owner of the L Bar, Harambe foot plate, and the handles. I ordered a K bar and it never arrived (UPS issue). I filed a claim with UPS and contacted Harambe. Harambe System emailed me back right away apologizing, sent a new K bar, and included a Harambe Shaker cup for free! I am blown away that they took care of the issue so fast and ...

I bought several ropes to compliment my K-Bar setup. The Sapphire ropes allow a double band setup without the need for the bands to cross the bar. Combined with the right band they are super challenging for various squats and single leg squats. Another super cool idea from Harambe System.

I bought this shirt to compliment my awesome Harambe System Beanie. It fit's great feels great and looks great...What more can I say. Not only am I using the best band-based home gym system ever created I am stylish as well.

The Harambe System Footplate is hands down THE BEST footplate on the market. The materials, craftsmanship, and practicality of the footplate make it stand out from the rest. It is well worth it for the price and I'm confident that I will get many, many years of use out of it without it being worse for wear. To say that I'm happy with my purchase is an understatement!

Combine this with the Bar and you have a complete home gym. Unparalleled for adding new movements and they are just as well made as the bar! Worth the investment

Having broke a Wsakque band recently I wanted to try out a different band and Serious Steel has had good reviews, so I jumped on the sale and so far I am not regretting it. I am noticing that the resistance seems better than my other bands of the same size, tho that could be because it is new. Time will tell!

Let’s just get this out of the way from the outset: no system (including Harambe) is a panacea. Nothing will be a perfect solution for everyone. That said… I’m loving my setup. Everything just oozes quality and attention to detail. You can see how much time, effort and thought has gone into the design and also in ensuring the quality of the build. The feel of the pulleys makes for super smooth lifts. The length of the bands is spot on. The platform feels rock solid (unlike some of the competit...

Purchased the Cyber Bundle. First, when I reached out with a question, I was impressed both by the speed and thoroughness of the reply — only to notice that Khalid who had responded. Second, from my first reps with Harambe, I found it easy and intuitive to use, high quality, and buttery smooth. The system is pricey but as others have shared, the customer service is fantastic and the build quality is top notch. I’m happy that I took the leap to buy from Harambe.

For the older computer folks out there: going from a solid plate to a cyber plate is on par with going from a hard drive to an SSD: life-changing!

So far I really like these bands. I use 32" and usually 41" for the press and squat but now I use the 38" and it is so much better!!! The only thing I really wish is that Khaild would sell the bands individually as I would love to have a second set of Orange and White as those are the ones i am using.

Pieced together K bundle plus white ropes and spacers with refurbished/factory second plate. Received order very quickly over busy holiday period, very impressed with customer service. Quick background, I’ve Olympic lifted and power lifted for close to 20 years and got into resistance bands to complement free weight training a few years ago. Not to say I’m more qualified to review than others in community, just that I’m very used to and enjoy traditional barbell/dumbbell training and a variety o...

This Harambro workout is no joke. I'm an experienced lifter used to going heavy, and this workout will stress you (in a good way). Heavy, lots of reps, big muscle movements. Good stuff.

Awesome bar! If you want to work with high tension I recommend this bar which will feel great in your hands. The Knurling isn’t overly aggressive so you can put it on your back without it making a mark like a barbell might do

Have had the L Bar for a couple weeks now and am really enjoying it. Love the weight/size of the bar as it allows for natural movements (compared to a much smaller competitors bar I had been using before!) I'm having fantastic workouts and in the comfort of my own home!

Already have the K & L bars, like the different weights. Adding the OG bar is a great addition because I like the tape grip and the versatility that this bar gives me as well!!

Could barely notice any defect! Performs flawlessly and the knurl is fantastic. I love these handles. Worth the price at the original price point but an even better deal with the defect discount.

I have the OG spacers, while I like those for the design, there’s no denying how simple and effective these are. They slide on so easy and allow incremental tension changes. Great product.

I'm 6ft tall and the 38inch bands are ideal for me on chest press. 41s are a bit too long and 32s a bit too short so am very pleased I can now work my chest press properly which is the o ly movement u struggled with when I changed to using resistance bands

These bands are absolutely the best to use with the Harambe System. I’ve used so many different brands including the Serious Steel sold by Harambe. No other band comes close. These are obviously made for a band bar system. The 38” length is a perfect medium between the standard 41” and the shorter 32”. Some movements are just too close for 41 in my experience (like chest press) and some don’t feel quite right with 32 (like deadlift or OH press). The 38’s eliminate this problem and seem to be the...

Serious Steel makes great bands. Outside of the new Harambe bands these are my go to. If you do buy serious steel bands, definitely do so through Harambe, their shipping is faster in my experience than buying straight from SS.

#2 Red Band (41")

Edward N.

Great product for evolution over the V1 charcoal ropes. These seem to have less “give” in them and make some of the same movements more intense than the charcoal ropes. Definitely recommend buying to upgrade current ropes if you can.

The cork block is a well thought out implement for Harambe. I recommend having at least two if you’re able. I find the propped up chest presses easier with two blocks, 1 to hold the bar, and 1 to prop up the board.

Jeffrey O.

Wow, these bands are a gamechanger. That word gets thrown around a lot but these bands really do change the experience of resistance band training. The two main reasons for this: 1) The slightly shorter length than the usual 41" bands mean greater tension at the beginning of the movement; I find this results in a more complete muscle fatigue and the ability to get there faster. 2) These bands have a much smoother stretch than the other brands of bands I have used. It's difficult to put the diffe...

A great option for those who aren't using the big bands. lighter weight and pairs perfectly for the T Bar even up through some of the new Harambe system bands!

I love this footplate. Originally I was hesitant to buy the product because it is expensive and I even looked around to see if I could find cheaper alternatives. In the end I bought the plate, and I am so glad that I did. When it first arrived I was surprised with how sturdy it was and it had a really good weight to it. This product is solid and I feel confident that I can use stronger bands without worrying that the plate will break. It feels great too and has great ergonomics. I still t...

Worked out in a gym for 14 years and with other bands for 4 — Harambe is the best of both worlds with all the benefits of bands combined with strong low range force that gets you SORE as only weights used to for me. That, combined with the ability to rock bench and incline in a way that friggen feels like a real bench is fantastic. Excellence is in the details and this is an excellent product.

Love the cork block. A perfect way to protect your feet during lifts and a convenient place to set the bar between exercises to change the bands and hangers. Well done!

The door anchor is exactly what I was looking for. When I place it under or over a shut door: I am confident that it’s not going anywhere while I complete my exercises. Great job, guys!!!

Bought this with the footplate (already had the original bar.) Nice size for travel, good for variety with the original or K, shorter length drops the tension a lot for single looped moves (OHP and front/split squats.) Seems to increase tension for chest press.

The T Bar

Edward

The T Bar is a great addition to the Harambe System whether you have the K Bar already or not. I use this one for travel, but also certain exercises are nice to switch up from the K Bar and use this one instead. As with all other Harambe products very high quality and feels solid in spite of the lighter weight.

Let me tell you, it is the best investment I’ve made in a footplate. It is the rolls Royce of footplates. Nothing on this earth beats it in terms of looks and quality of smoothness. I use flat bands, as well as Bodylastics tubular bands. Everything works great. Harambe knocked this one out of the ball park. Thank you so much for your CyberPlate. I give it 5 Stars Reginald H Blackwood

This bar is a nice addition to Harambe System’s offerings. I have the K bar and the T bar V1 in addition to the T bar V2. I like that this T bar is slightly thicker and heavier than the V1 for some at home exercises. I find forearm and bicep engagement is increased in exercises like curls and rows. If someone is on the fence between V1 and V2 of the T bar I would say go with the V1 if it’s going to be mainly used for travel (it’s almost 2 lbs lighter). Go with V2 if it will be an even mix of ...

There was much marketing hype about this plate before it came out and now I know why. This takes 'band-bar-board' training to a whole new level. It's meticulously crafted and extremely sturdy. The lifts feel like a cable machine - ultra smooth throughout the entire range of motion without a trace of friction anywhere during the lift. Works really well for explosive movements because the band never jerks backward as it increases tension against the plate. The vertical rollers on the underside mak...

This is such a great idea instead of letting my bar lie on the floor and awkwardly loading it. This make so much more sense! It's a clever design and no one else makes anything like it!

Harambe System products are simply the best in quality and craftsmanship. They are expensive but with that said it is a one time purchase that will outlast you, and they are tailor made for the system. The arm bar has a great weight and feel, the knurling is excellent, and There are 3 grip options from narrow to wide. Great product!

Guy S.

The smoothness is more and more apparent as you use it. Exercises that hurt more and are more difficult are now easier to rep out once you get used to the increased weight of the bar compared to leading products on the market. Rows and calf raises are game changers now. More stabilizers are engaged, you can tell by the wobble of the demonstrator in the demo videos. The only drawback if I am grasping for straws is the ability to throw it in the hook and go, but if you get a real good price on one...
