I’ve had the X3Bar for over a year, the harambe system and plate is much better quality and is very superior in design. I was almost immediately able to go up in bands because it is a much more smoother movement using this system. It puts less strain on my joints . I’m very happy with it. I highly recommend it.

Incredible bar! If you are switched from weights to bands, this is the one for you. Beautiful knurling, solid and heaye, very smooth rotation. This feels like you are holding a barbell, without destroying your joints.

The K Bar

Having spent a couple of months with the K Bar, I can say that I really love it and I prefer it to the X3 bar. The K Bar has a very comfortable knurling allowing for excellent grip that doesn't feel rough. The weight of the bar makes exercises feel better. The width allows for more grip options and, especially when paired with the Harambe footplate, keeps the bands off of your body. The design and manufacturing seem to be of the highest quality. Highly recommended.

The Arm Bar is fantastic. It allows you to hit your muscles from a different angle. And not just curls but chest press, shoulder press, and even bent-over rowing.

Even more useful than I expected! I bought it to protect my feet during deadlifts and calf raises, but it's just as useful for raising the platform during bench press - I feel much more activation in the chest now. Before, bench felt like more of a tricep exercise.

The T Rods are perfect for the black Serious Steel band and under. What I like is that the bands don't have room to move as much when there's no tension. They are also great for travel especially if you're like me and you use multiple rods and ropes setup in advance.

The footplate is excellent! I was using another plate that was nice but rocked a little, especially during back squats. The dimensions of this plate are perfect and the plate is extremely stable and extremely well built.

This is a factory seconds travel plate and actually looked better than my original travel plate. They are both great plates and the perfect size to use when traveling. The smoothness of the plastic also makes using it a pleasure.

Looked into bars to use with bands for a while and nothing seemed to compare to the Harambe. I waited for the knurled L bar and it’s as good as I’d hoped.

As a trainer, I have switched predominatly to band training in order to focus heavy loads on the muscle without damaging damaging the joints. Other bars in the industry focus mainly on narrow bars. The problem with that and being a trainer is so many clients have different widths and some can't even fit into the bar in order to do the chest press. Those that can't fit into the bar tend to experience the bands wrapping around the shoulders so tight that it ends up shutting off the muscle which...

Found the perfect board for my resistance band training! It's the perfect size and the construction is solid. Plenty of clearance for doubling the bands. This should be the standard for all resistance band footplates. It's a little on the slick side and I think it would be awesome if this brand sold grip tape to add for extra secure grip, but that's something I can add. All in all, I am very pleased with this footplate from Harambe Systems.

Great bands. I already had a set of X3 bands but these came as part of a bundle with the Harambe board and bar. I appreciate having additional light bands for multiple stacking combination options, and the heavier ones immediately became part of my regular routine. These bands are of very high quality. If you need a set of starter bands, this is probably as good as it gets!

The K bar is awesome. My shoulders are wide and my chest and back are thick. I can't get in position with the X3 on presses and squats. The K is heavily built and rotates really smooth.

The Harambe System has exceeded all my expectations. I’ve been going to the gym for 20 years. Yet this single piece of equipment has everything I need. I’d seen others say that but didn’t believe it until I tried it. It’s extremely durable and has more of the feel of free weights than any other home gym I’ve ever tried. The length, size, and sturdiness of the bar and footplate set this product apart.

Bar is a quality item. The band retention system takes a little getting used to, but once figured out is very easy. Definitely makes the workouts better/harder and I would highly recommend.

Glad these were brought back for an additional run. I have the T Bar, K Bar, L Bar, and K handles. If you have one, don’t be afraid to add another. I find that certain exercises feel better or more natural with different bars. I find having multiple also helps with progressive overload since there is different weight/lengths.

I’m loving the books to keep track of workouts. Still looking forward to the eventual app if that’s still in the works. But for now, recording workouts in the book is a refreshing break from smartphone usage. These also take the thought process out of planning for workouts. Please keep these in the store.

Greatly facilitates my extreme intensity band training. I'm able to train with maximum intensity safely. The Cyberplate is the best base plate. Essential for anyone training for power and strength.

I have the X-3 which is great it’s just this is better. It’s the difference between android and IOS. Yes a Samsung phone is great but the iPhone is better. That’s the only way I can describe.

This is the exact size of my X3 plate (just a wee bit taller), and I can use the bands in both sides now instead if just one side. Though it’s a second, I wouldn’t know what would be different if it were brand new. Good buy.

Travel Plate (factory second)

Matthew L.

Almost didn't purchase the plate, but the more I thought about it, I was like take my money. I'm glad I went for it. This really does make set up more "natural" feeling and helps you consistently take the best position. It's far heavier built than expected and does exactly what it's advertised to do. My only nit pick is being a taller guy, a few inches extra width would be of benefit as I already use the entire width for exercises like squats. Not at a all a deal breaker, it's just not the width...

I'm having a fantastic experience using this. I'm an intermediate lifter that was out of the gym about a month, so the basic workouts were a fantastic way to get back into lifting and it was only a couple weeks before I was doing the higher volume splits. I enjoy these workouts because I don't have to deal with the hassles of going to the gym, waiting for the machine or rack, and listening to terrible modern music. I am supplementing the workouts with my bare bones apartment complex gym, pullup ...

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!

Excellent quality. I really like the quick release of the seat belt buckle as it allows you to drop the belt quick after a set. I did squats followed by calf raises with the white ropes and regular rods and the workout went great!

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!

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.

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

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

Handle

Tracey M.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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...
