Stretch goal idea- Strength Tracker Bands
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Jun 08, 2021 at 02:44:10 AM

Hi everyone,

Further to our discussion on how to track improvements using resistance bands, we wanted to show you our latest idea. We are currently liaising with our manufacturer and will get the minimum order quantities within the next few days.  Anyone who has pledged for our bands already will be automatically upgraded to the Strength Tracker Band. We have recently applied for a patent on this as it is something we have not seen on the market. 

If everyone is happy with this direction we will make it our stretch goal. Please let us know what you think!

The Strength Tracker Band gives you clear markers (white strips) to enable you to better track your progress rather than relying on just the 'feel' of the resistance. When trying to increase the resistance you would shorten the band by moving to the next marker up. Think of it as a clock with 12 at the top and 6 at the bottom of the band, you can then use the markers to decrease the amount of markers being used in the action. It is also easier to remember where you anchored last time in order to be more consistent with your day to day workouts.

We are funded! We are truly overwhelmed and grateful for all your support! We want to run an idea past you...

Hi everyone, 


We can't believe we have reached our funding goal! We really did not expect to be in this position so quickly and we are truly grateful!

Before we jump into any stretch goals we want to run an idea past you and get your feedback. With dumbbells or gym machines, you can easily see how you are improving from day to day. Simply adapt the weights as you get stronger. We find with resistance bands it can be difficult to compare the progress of your day to day workout. We think we have a way of solving this problem. What do you think? It is an issue for you?

Great start! We are close to reaching our funding goal and bringing our product to life!

Thank you so much! We are currently at 85% of our goal and hoping to reach it soon. We are currently awaiting word back on our patent for a new add-on that we think you will love. Hopefully we will be able to post some images shortly.

Band stacking with The Pocket Dumbbell

One of our backers asked about band stacking, so I tried curling 2 x 85lb bands + 1 x 65lb band today (300 Lbs) with The Pocket Dumbbell. The product was stronger than I was as I managed only a one-shoulder shrug! LOL
