Anchor Point Training Tools

Welcome, here’s an overview of the 2025 program:

  • APT resistance bands serve many training needs for people of all sizes and abilities. Our warp-knit elasticized webbing won’t pinch skin or pull hair on arms and legs. Besides being bare skin comfortable, this material is durable, and will NEVER snap.
  • APT webbing bands have a fixed-end range at about 2X their resting length. This means even the lightest webbing band can be used at the end range as a strap to safely train anyone at their maximum strength using “overcoming” isometric resistance.
  • The first number in the product descriptions of APT webbing bands indicates the width of the band, and the second number is the length of the band. We use 4 widths, in 10 strengths and 12 loop lengths. It’s a lot, just the same there’s a good reason for many of these tools to be in every toolbox.
  • Our 2025 program introduces two more long bands to compliment the 4.0/96 Prowler Loop.
  • The 4.0/96 Prowler Loop is one of the fitness industry’s OG long bands. It’s the industry’s widest band at 4″ wide and provides a 12′ range of resistance. The Prowler is designed for athletic training, agility, acceleration, braking, and reactive footwork. It is also now used for hip distraction. Like many good tools, its uses will continue to evolve. The thick elastic webbing is extremely comfortable wrapped on the body to resist or assist rotation and to strengthen stability. Webbing has a fixed but soft-end range. This means no hard stop at the end range during running drills. This is safer and more useful than the hard stop of covered bands.
  • The new 1.5/60 PT Loop is a longer version of the 41″ Super Loop. The 19″ longer length provides a much more gradual change in resistance and a longer range of motion. The PT Loop is well used for shoulder rehab and self-anchored for taller people.
  • The other NEW long band is the 3.0/80 Court Loop. This long band has a range that is 4′ shorter than the Prowler Loop. This 8′ range can be more practical indoors or for group training. The 3″ webbing of the Court Loop is comfortable in hand and on the body.
  • The S-Band is a unique design. Compared to a loop band of similar length the S-Band provides a more gradual change in resistance. This product feature accommodates longer ranges of motion with a more gradual increase in resistance.
  • Stronger bands like 3.0/50 S-Band Heavy, benefit significantly from the more precise and gradual increase of resistance in the early range. The 50″ S-Band when anchored provides a gradual resistance curve that starts at 10 Lbs and increases over 50” to 85 Lbs at the end range. A similar classic loop starts at 20 Lbs and has a faster increase in resistance in the first 1/2 of its range of resistance.
  • The unique benefit of the 1.5/18 S Band is it stays in place when worn over the knees and will not slip off the foot if worn around the ankles. A more secure, precise connections always useful when training with resistance.
  • The S-Band 1.5/21 and 1.5/24 are designed to be used with the APT Leg Harness and the APT Anchor Belt.
  • The APT Leg Training Harness is one size fits all, with adjustable large D ring anchor points. It is quick on and off and accomodates almost any band. The harness leaves hands free while being ideal for plyometric leg training fieldside, on the court, in the backyard or garage…anywhere you can jump, squat, and lunge.
  • The APT Belt is another hands-free leg training tool. It has 10 large D rings to create a variety of anchor positions for bands to train legs for agility and power from different angles. No carabiners, buckles, or straps are required to connect S-Bands to the belt and the feet. This makes for quick and easy on and off. This design uses an adapted weight belt for comfortable secure band anchoring on the waist.
  • The APT double-wide handle is featured on several tools. The APT double-wide handle is tremendously versatile providing close grip, underhand and overhand, and cross grip, also used with resistance at one end of the handle, and looped on the wrist/arm/feet/ legs to connect with bands, flywheels, or cabled resistance. The double-wide handle on a long soft loop used on the APT Suspension Strap eliminates the uncomfortable arm rub often experienced with single-wide handle suspension strap designs. How you connect with resistance is fundamental. This concept has guided APT since 2009.
  • If you want to train on your feet with anchored resistance, the 3.75/96 and the APT suspension strap are a great combination. These two tools offer 3-dimensional resistance with body weight/gravity, and vectored elastic resistance. Mastering these tools together is a doorway to a practice of convenient, efficient, and effective resistance training.
  • A library of exercises and workouts with the 3.75/96 Band and APT Suspension Strap is freely available on the FITBANX app. Learning this approach will provide a lifetime of enjoyable training anywhere you can set up a safe anchor.
  • Our latest addition is the APT 53/72 Bengal Mat. There are many versions of training mats with markings to cue foot position and calibrate resistance. This 53″ wide x 6′ long mat offers the best traction of any mat I have used. It is remarkable how much more resistance you can handle and how precisely you move when your ground connection is solid. If you have ever worn cleats it is like that feeling of enhanced traction. This mat improves your anchored resistance training with any tool, immediately. Ground forces matter.

If you’re a trainer the APT education program is accredited with ISSA and The Functional Aging Institute.

As you can see from the product labeling we’re also working more closely than ever with Perform Better, several of these pieces are in the Perform Better 2025 catalog and others will be getting up on their website…progress is a process.

You’ll find a variety of great trainers and posts for a wide range of needs at @anchorpointtraining on Instagram or Anchor Point Training on Facebook.
