Blood Flow Restriction Bands for Physical Therapy Rehab | BFR Training Workout Occlusion Straps for Legs Or Arms by Koala Bands

These bands are very well made and come with a carry bag for the gym, or just to organize and grab easily. I received them yesterday, and did my first workout using the bands today; plus, it was a really good experience for me. I felt stronger while exercising, and overall felt better afterwards. I will add to this after awhile of using these, recommendation of 15 min per day at first, so I will let you know. Very nice and good looking with the black and white colors, and the little bear on the front. Also the bands do not pinch and feel very comfortable to wear while exercising.

I have used the Kaatsu, and currently own the B-strong, and the Koala (and have tried others, which I don't currenlty use.) I like the precision of being able to use the pressure cuff of the B-strong, and use these predominantly when I am at the gym. However, when I travel, or when I run, or do some other exercise I use the Koala bands. Now that I 'know' what various pressures feel like (by using the B-strong), I will often use the Koala bands as well at the gym. These Koala bands are narrow and elastic (qualities needed for safe BFR to avoid complete occlusion), and are well designed. Each generation or iteration of the bands gets better and better. (e.g. placement of the velcro, the buckle design, etc). Each of these bands has their purpose, and the Kaatsu and the B-strong are well researched. The Koala is well designed with the features needed for a functional and safe device. I don't need to look any further. Keep up the good work.

So I can’t leave a review abt durability over time but i can say that it does it’s job! I was able to increase my weight + have a sick pump during my workout ! Not everything lasts forever so for the people that complain abt how long they use gym products for … you SHOULD be replacing it at least every 3-6 months depending how much you workout anyways, it’s called wear &’ tear🤷🏼‍♀️. I’ll be back to leave a updated review abt how long it lasts with regular use but for the most part, totally worth the purchase. Was amazing, not uncomfortable &’ really enhanced my workout. Definitely recommend!

This product works well and is similar to the pneumatic (BP cuff) style that i am more familiar with in my PT clinic. You can get a great pump and it seems to perform as the research states thus far. Careful! You cannot calibrate and measure the tightness. Remember: MORE PRESSURE IS NOT REQUIRED!! This is for restriction, not occlusion. Anyway, this seems to be a decent product so far. The biggest disappointment is the elastic loop for hip activity. It's pitifully weak and does not have a lot of stretch nor pull back. Its way too weaknto wear on the thighs and even on the distal leg. Get some theraband or a pre made loop instead.

I was afraid that it was to big for me because I am very slim but I contacted and had a quickly reply - bought it, have received very quickly and I am very satisfied. It is very comfortable and easy to use. I put it only a little tied but I can note the difference when I do my round of daily exercises. Wonderful costumer service and a product of high quality. Very happy!

I have to say I have not used the bands yet, but my partner at the gym she started using them a month ago and I can really notice how she is noticing a change even doing workout, and her body is changing too. And I share the bands for the arms (because I only wanted the ones for the legs) to a friend and he came this morning and told me they really work. So I have to say 2 people now are in love with Koalas bands, and I am pretty sure I will be the next victim. Thank you very much for the great product and for the amazing treatment.

Welp. It broke after two uses. I waited too long to try to use them and now I can't return them. They did the job before they broke. Not the greatest quality if you plan on using them tightly enough to work... but ya get what you pay for.

As a certified personal trainer, I've had several clients come to me who have been working on hypertrophy for years without the results they have been wanting. Many have asked me about these bands, so I began doing some research for them. After looking at several brands of these, I chose to try out the KOALA Bands because they are not bulky and they are also black and white which match pretty much everything I wear at the gym (yes, that matters to me, lol). First time I tried them, I fell in love with the pump that they gave me. Not only was the pump amazing but they were actually comfortable to wear, not bulky at all. I had a major arm pump my first arm day, and was surprised that I didn't even have to lift as much as I normally do to get the same effect, if not a BETTER effect while lifting. It was intense! Then when I tried them on my leg day, it was AWESOME. The pump was INSANE! I only had time for a quick 30 minute workout, but by the time I was done, my legs were massive and the intensity of the workout was major. I included a picture to show how incredible it was! I'm now recommending these to ALL of my clients who are seeking hypertrophy and will be including these as a necessity for ladies who take my glute classes.

Just got them but haven't used them yet (hence the provisional 4 stars) so will update this when I do, but I see no reason they will work in any other way than advertised. They look of high quality and good workmanship, easy to get on and off, no buckles to deal with which is nice, adequate Velcro for a good hold, slight elasticity but not too much. The only thing I would say after first glance and fitting is about sizing: If you are a large individual, I would suggest measuring yourself to verify they will be appropriate for you. To be continued.........Updated below: I have now used them for several workouts and find them very satisfactory. The tension is decent, not quite the compression I was getting using knee wraps (for BFR, not knee support), but that may very well be a good thing. So far I don't think I have been able to get beyond 80% compression which is important from a safety standpoint. That doesn't mean one couldn't get a compression higher than that if not careful, but I have been yanking on them pretty hard as I give them their due trial without incident. They seem to be stretchy enough that you'd really have to reef on them to go over that threshold. They hold well, don't slip or loosen, they are as comfortable as can be given the intended use and don't seem to have any pinch points or particularly noticeable individual pressure points. They are quick and easy to get on and off one handed which is a nice. Overall I am satisfied with these bands and would buy them again.

perfect fit a works great for women with smaller arms that need a band to fit right. BFR training are easy to put on and have a little give. comfyto wear for their purpose.
