Resistance Bands

Shop Resistance Bands at Myprotein

Resistance bands are one of the most versatile pieces of kit you can add to your training. Whether you're working through a full-body session at home or warming up at the gym, they deliver variable tension that challenges your muscles through every rep.

The Myprotein resistance band range covers light through to heavy resistance, so there's a band to match your training level and the movement you're targeting. Compact, durable, and built for consistent use — these are exercise bands that earn their place in any kit bag.

Who This Collection Is For

These resistance bands are a solid fit for anyone from beginners building a foundation of strength to experienced athletes looking to add targeted resistance work to their sessions. If you train at home without access to heavy equipment, workout bands give you genuine load without the need for a full rack of weights.

They're also popular with those focused on mobility, glute activation, and rehabilitation-style movement — anywhere controlled, progressive tension makes the difference. Runners, lifters, yogis, and home gym regulars all find a use for them.

When to Use Resistance Bands

Resistance bands fit into almost any training context. Use them as a warm-up tool before a lower body session, slot them into circuits for added intensity, or build full workouts around them when you're training without access to weights. They're equally at home on a gym floor or in your living room.

Gym bands are particularly effective for glute-focused movements, banded squats, pull-apart drills, and assisted bodyweight exercises. Because they provide accommodating resistance — meaning tension increases as you move through the range of motion — they challenge your muscles differently to fixed weights, making them a genuinely useful addition to any programme.

Key Features

Five Resistance Levels

The range spans five different resistance levels, from light (2–16kg) through to heavy (23–54kg). That spread means you can match the band to the exercise — lighter for activation and mobility work, heavier for strength-focused movements.

Durable Construction

These bands are built to handle repeated use without losing their shape or elasticity. The material holds up through high-rep sessions and retains consistent tension over time, so you're not replacing them every few months.

Compact and Portable

Each band takes up almost no space, making them easy to pack into a gym bag, suitcase, or desk drawer. You're not tied to a fixed location — these bands travel as easily as you do.

Versatile Application

From glute bridges and lateral walks to pull-aparts and banded rows, these bands work across a wide range of movements and muscle groups. Pick up a single band or build out your collection with multiple resistance levels for a complete resistance bands set.

FAQs

What resistance bands are available?

The range includes singular bands across five resistance levels, running from 2–16kg up to 23–54kg, as well as a Booty Band Bundle for those who want multiple resistance options in one go. Whether you're after a single workout band or a full set, there's an option to suit.

Which resistance band should I choose?

It depends on the movements you're doing and your current training level. For activation drills, mobility work, or if you're newer to resistance training, a lighter band like the Resistance Band in the 2–16kg range is a good starting point. For squats, deadlifts, or heavier lower body work, the 23–54kg Black band provides the kind of load that'll actually challenge you through the full range of motion.

Can resistance bands replace weights?

They work differently to free weights, but they're far from a lesser option. Bands provide accommodating resistance — tension builds as you reach the top of a movement — which challenges your muscles in a way that fixed weights don't. For home training, travel, or adding variety to a gym programme, they're genuinely effective on their own or alongside other equipment.

Are these resistance bands suitable for beginners?

Yes. With five resistance levels available, there's an appropriate entry point regardless of where you're starting. Beginners tend to do well with a lighter band to build movement patterns and control before progressing to heavier resistance. The range makes it straightforward to step up as you get stronger.

What exercises can I do with resistance bands?

The range covers a wide variety of movements — glute bridges, lateral band walks, banded squats, pull-aparts, rows, shoulder rotations, and more. Resistance bands are particularly effective for glute and hip activation, upper back work, and adding intensity to bodyweight exercises. They're also widely used for warm-up routines before heavier lifting sessions.

How do I care for my resistance bands?

Keep them away from sharp edges and surfaces that could nick or tear the material. After use, wipe them down with a damp cloth and store them flat or loosely rolled — avoid leaving them twisted or compressed under heavy objects for extended periods, as this can affect the elasticity over time.

Who designed these resistance bands?

Myprotein's in-house design team developed the resistance band range, focusing on durable construction, consistent tension across resistance levels, and a form factor that works equally well at home or in the gym.

Can I buy resistance bands in Ireland?
