Crank it in the Ring of Fire

By Dave Schmitz of Resistance Band Training

There is absolutely no better way to train a group of highly motivated fitness enthusiasts with resistance bands than by putting them in The Ring.  Yes I said The Ring.

Training in the Ring using resistance bands is the ultimate in partner band training.  Not only does it provide an opportunity for 6 to12 people to push each other, it also allows trainers to create tremendous group chemistry and community. And as always when it comes to band training… You know you can train anywhere, anytime at any intensity.
