Stamina Band Flex Home Gym
I used to recommend the Bandflex Home Gym in the past, but the low end of the market has gotten ultra competitive, and I found a gym that’s 1/4 the price, fits in a suitcase, and delivers a better workout – that gym is the Bodylastics Home Gym.
Both the Stamina Bandflex and the Bodylastics utilize the same concept of band type resistance, but the Bodylastics outperforms it in every respect and as a bonus you can chuck it into your suitcase and bring it on vacation (read the Bodylastics Review).
Continuing on to the Stamina Bandflex Home Gym Review…
The first thing you should know about the Bandflex Home Gym is, while it’s a decent home gym for the money, don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re getting a Bowflex Blaze or Weider Crossbow for half price, because you’re not.
They say that immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and Stamina Fitness pulled out the stops while trying to duplicate the Bowflex. And they did a pretty good job too, but the Banflex doesn’t quite live up to all the claims.
It’s not that the Bandflex is a total piece of junk, but the Bowflex and Weider Crossbow are made a bit stronger, thus their higher price.
I would consider getting a Bandlfex Gym, but only if I were in the market for a super low end gym like a Weider or Marcy, otherwise I would get a Bodylastics Gym (I actually own 2 of them) for about 1/4 the price.

We have a Stamina product: BandFlex gym LT 2000.
The bands are freed and sluggish, they do not return to position. I am not sure if it is the weeks or the bands. Any suggestions.
If you have your bands and cables routed correctly and they aren’t returning to the neutral position I would assume the bands have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced.
