SMARTWORKOUT ELITE
-
SmartWorkout Elite has been designed to last over time. Gain muscles and strength is possible with SmartWorkout Elite only, no need of extra accessories. We wanted to design and offer a real gym equipment, not an interim accessory that will do the job for few weeks only and break after.
SmartWorkout Elite’s 5 differences are:
1. Total resistance: up to 160 kg. SmartWorkout Elite comes with 120 kg of resistance but 45 kg add on are available if you want to push your limits further.
2. Our resistance bands are made of natural latex, versus TPE plastic for standard resistance bands sets. The natural latex, more expensive, is needed to manufacture high quality resistance bands with good elasticity, strong resistance and longer lifetime.
3. Our musculation bar, which is included in SmartWorkout Elite.
4. Our anti-snap mechanism, designed for the workout bar.
5. Our reinforced accessories (handles, ankle straps and door anchor).
In addition, SmartWorkout Elite includes a 3 workout plan and a lifetime warranty. Our warehouse is located in France, allowing us to propose fast and free delivery.

There is no limit and you can complete an infinity of exercises using our bar, handles and ankle straps.
However, we advise to focus on compound exercises such as Chest Press, Deadlift, Squat as these exercises are an excellent way to get your entire body physically fit and fully functional. -
The total weight of our best selling resistance bands set is approximately 2.5 kg without packaging (2.9 kg with).
The resistance bar measures 106 cm and can be detached into two parts, each measuring 53 cm. It has a diameter of 3.3 cm and weighs around 1.2 kg.
The 7 elastic bands measure 120 cm and can stretch up to 4 times their initial size without damaging. -
SmartWorkout Elite boasts a user-friendly design, weighing only 3 KG, and featuring a detachable bar that splits into two sections. This makes it hassle-free to transport, fitting easily into a bag or suitcase measuring over 53 cm in length.
Please note that while the set can fit into a carry-on suitcase, you should be aware of air travel regulations: the bar is classified as hazardous and is not permitted as a carry-on item
THE BANDS
-
After conducting extensive testing, we can confidently state that the risk of a SmartWorkout resistance band breaking, provided you follow our usage guidelines, is virtually negligible. Our resistance bands are crafted from natural latex, an exceptionally flexible and durable material that maintains its integrity over time.
However, it's essential to adhere to a few straightforward rules, such as avoiding overstretching the band beyond four times its original length, securing the bands symmetrically, and refraining from using them on sharp or rough surfaces. Rest assured, all these details are comprehensively explained in the user guide that accompanies your order.
In the highly improbable event of an fitness band breaking, it will naturally retract downward. This is why we recommend training while wearing shoes. Consequently, the risk of injury remains exceedingly low, even in the unlikely event of a band breakage. -
Our resistance bands measure 1.20 meters and possess the remarkable ability to stretch up to 6 to 7 times their original length, thanks to the exceptional quality of natural latex we use.
However, to ensure their longevity, we recommend a maximum stretch of 4 times their initial size, which equates to 4.80 meters or 2.40 meters when folded. Consequently, our resistance bands accommodate users of all heights.In fact, Lucas, the co-founder of SmartWorkout, stands at 1.90 meters and incorporates our equipment into his daily training regimen. Thus, your height should never hinder your fitness journey.
For exercises that entail significant stretching, such as Squats or Overhead Presses, we do recommend some extra precautions:
- Squat and Front Squat: You may opt for a narrower stance to minimize excessive stretching or consider unilateral lunges.
- Overhead Press: To reduce the stretch slightly, utilize a single foot to anchor the band instead of both feet.
-
Absolutely! Our resistance bands are engineered to deliver effectiveness regardless of height, making them suitable for a diverse range of users.
While it's true that shorter individuals might experience slightly less stretch in exercises where the feet block the bands (like bicep curls, squats, or lunges), a simple adjustment in your stance can compensate for this, ensuring you receive optimal resistance right from the start of the movement.
For other exercises that utilize external support to anchor the bands, such as a door anchor or outdoor anchor, your height won't impact the resistance or effectiveness of the bands in any way.
-
Over time, natural latex bands may undergo oxidation, resulting in the appearance of white spots or color variations. This oxidation process can be accelerated by prolonged exposure to external elements such as humidity, wind, heat, cold, or even the surrounding air.
While this doesn't compromise the strength of the bands, we recommend storing them in the designated SmartWorkout bag after each use and keeping them indoors to minimize the impact of these factors.If you'd like to clean and refresh the bands' color, you can use silicone oil.
THE BAR
-
We do not recommend using our resistance bar with other fitness bands as they may not be compatible with our equipment.
Many resistance bands typically come with small carabiners that may not be robust enough for use with our bar. In contrast, our resistance band set includes large, sturdy carabiners designed to attach securely to the non-deformable rings of our bands, ensuring maximum safety.To fully enjoy the benefits of our resistance band bar and have an intense workout, it's advisable to use resistance bands with relatively high resistance. Such bands may not be readily available in the majority of band sets commonly found in the market.
If you still prefer to use your own resistance bands, make sure that the carabiners are tightly closed and securely fastened before each exercise.
-
Absolutely no need to worry! The fact that the attachments at the ends of the bar are movable is completely normal.
This is an exclusive innovation on our part (featured in the latest version of our product), ensuring optimal movement fluidity while preventing any carabiner jams during specific exercises.
WORKOUT WITH RESISTANCE BANDS
-
Absolutely! Resistance bands, when used with the right equipment, are highly effective for building muscle.
To foster muscle growth, it's vital to apply sufficient resistance, which creates micro-tears in the muscle fibers. This, in turn, stimulates the body to rebuild stronger and larger muscle fibers, better equipped to handle future challenges. Numerous studies confirm that muscles respond similarly to resistance bands as they do to free weights when comparable tension is applied.
To achieve this tension, you should:
- Utilize substantial resistance and gradually increase it (progressive overload).
- Experience consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion, extending the time under tension.
Thanks to SmartWorkout Elite's technical features and progressive resistance right from the start, it aligns perfectly with these criteria. Proper technique is crucial for optimal muscle development, and you'll find comprehensive guidance in our resistance band workout plans and instructional videos.
-
Progressive resistance, which entails varying resistance levels during a movement, is a distinctive characteristic of resistance bands. Unlike free weights, where resistance remains constant, resistance bands offer increasing resistance as they are stretched further.
Progressive resistance actually proves to be a significant advantage of training bands because it mirrors the natural force curve of your movements. For example, during a Biceps Curl, you encounter less resistance at the beginning (where your strength is lowest) and more resistance at the end (where your strength peaks). This allows for using heavier loads while also safeguarding your joints.
However, one potential challenge with progressive resistance is that muscles may lose tension if the resistance is too low or if your positioning is incorrect, which can impede muscle growth.
To mitigate this, it's essential to ensure that the resistance band is appropriately stretched from the outset to maintain consistent tension throughout the exercise.
This is precisely why our resistance tubes are engineered to provide approximately 60% of their maximum resistance from the very start. This level is achieved through a combination of factors, including the resistance, composition, and size of the bands. Additionally, we offer SmartWorkout tutorials for each exercise, which provide guidance on correct band positioning to ensure continuous tension throughout the movement.
In summary, progressive resistance is not a hindrance to muscle building, as long as you maintain tension in the muscle throughout the exercise.
-
Absolutely! Our resistance band set can be a fantastic tool to help you shape your physique.
To effectively shed body fat, it's crucial to create a caloric deficit, which means burning more calories than you consume. You can achieve this by either reducing your calorie intake through a balanced diet or increasing your calorie expenditure through physical exercise. Resistance bands are an ideal solution for the latter, enabling you to enhance your metabolism through muscle-building workouts.
Our 'Strong & Beautiful' training program is specially designed to target this objective. It offers a combination of elastic exercises, cardiovascular workouts, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions to maximize calorie expenditure and support your weight loss journey.
-
Absolutely! Resistance bands are an excellent choice for beginners as they offer progressive resistance, helping you build strength, stability, and coordination for more advanced exercises. They are also gentler on your joints compared to free weights, reducing stress on tendons and ligaments.
Starting with lower resistance bands and mastering basic movements before advancing to higher resistances or more complex exercises is essential. Our resistance band set is perfectly suited for beginners, with adjustable resistance from 10 lbd to 260 lbs (5kg to 120kg), allowing you to start gently and increase intensity as you progress. Our tutorials and instructional videos will guide you through the basics, and our three training programs introduce you to effective weight training principles for optimal results.
BONUS: Our Express training program is perfect for beginners, focusing on fundamental, multi-joint exercises. Its 20-minute format ensures gradual progress without feeling overwhelmed. It's FREE on the SmartWorkout app. -
Absolutely! Even if you're a seasoned athlete, integrating resistance bands into your training can offer significant benefits.
Resistance bands provide progressive resistance, which can stimulate muscle growth and enhance strength, all while being gentle on your joints. They allow for a wide range of exercises and diverse angles of movement, effectively targeting all muscle groups. Additionally, incorporating resistance bands into your workout routine adds variety and novelty, which can be instrumental in achieving faster progress.
However, it's crucial to select bands that match your fitness level and consistently increase the intensity of your workouts. Our resistance bar, for instance, can accommodate up to 440 lbs (200 kg) of resistance on specific exercises, ensuring you have the necessary tools to continue advancing in your fitness journey
-
As natural latex isn't an exact science, replicating precise resistance levels on the bands can be challenging:
The perceived resistance largely depends on how much the bands are stretched. Numerous factors influence their stretch, including your height, foot positioning, door distance, and how the bands are wound.
As a result, the resistance experienced during exercises like the Overhead Press may differ from that during Biceps Curls if the foot width remains the same.
Typically, the resistance level indicated on the bands is achieved when the band is stretched to four times its initial size (twice on each side). We strongly recommend watching our exercise demonstration videos to help you achieve this optimal stretch.
For the Deadlift and Row, where the band is wrapped around the bar, the perceived resistance is approximately 1.5 times the resistance indicated on the band.
This understanding will help you make the most out of your workouts with SmartWorkout resistance bands.
