How many resistance bands come with it? Would I have to buy the accessory package?

The neat thing about this gym is that each arm has three different resistance bands built right in so you don't need to buy any more. Each is a different level so you can use any one or combine more than one to add more challenge. I do not buy the optional leg attachment or head rest so I don't know about that.

Three bands come with the machine... And the accessory package is only used for additional exercises not resistance.

It comes with 3 bands which allows for a maximum weight resistance of 101.2 lbs. However, you can buy additional bands which would allow you a maximum of 138.6 lbs.

It comes with 3 different bands, you can get 7 different resistance levels by using the loop in various combinations. I did not feel the need for any accessories, it has a leg Velcro loop, the 2 hand pulls and is enough to do a full upper workout. It also comes with the front plate to hold the machine down (you step on this) when standing and doing pull ups with your arms.

There is more equipment. I have the base kit. I just happen to have a rumble roller already. I own a pair of weighted gloves too. However, I am almost through the seventh week and I really enjoy the workouts.

I purchased this for my daughter-in-law and she has not tried it with resistance bands. However, I do note on the Lifeline website that they have a resistance band kit to go with this unit. Might try that.

Unless they have physically changed the device in the past year (and not incremented the model number), I don't think it is possible. There are only two empty slots (one on each side) for additional resistance bands past the 'out of the box' 210 lbs. Those two slots are intended for the 50 lb bands to equal 310 lbs max.

yes - i use them for that also! added bonus use of the straps - my trainer showed me how to use this and since there are three different bands - you can work up to the thickest band for more resistance.

I didn't count exactly the amount but it came with one pack of multicolored bands a loom and a loom handle with charms I do recommend to buy extra rubber bands

Don't know answer to question. I like the bands and multiple bands give extra resistance. Would not know how to measure full length of stretch. Guess 3 people could measure full length -- 2 to stretch and one to measure.

Hello! I counted 2 boxes for you and one had 105 bands and the other had 104 bands in it. If this is too late to help you, then maybe someone else. Have a great day! ~ Don

No. I didn't buy anything extra. It comes with a resistance band, and that's pretty much all you need.

It came with a disc that had a series of exercises. About 10-12 individual exercises.

I just have the base kit, so I can't answer your question from experience; I got this from a website: "master class" DVD, Qi Gong DVD, a different Rumble Roller (sort of pokey), weighted gloves, high-resistance strength band, "master" workout calendar. I hope this helps you out. Personally, I ordered the base kit because I tend to be really excited about some things and then I don't have the stick-to-it-iveness to use them to their best advantage. : /

There are lighter resistance, more flexible bands in the set which would be good. However, I am not sure that you would need or want the entire set and purchasing some individual bands may be more helpful. Also, the set I got had metal carabiner rings to which you attached and detached a handle depending on desired resistance. That might be problematic. It would likely be better to get a single or even a set that has fixed handles for ease of use/transition between resistances. Stay active!

Yes, it does come with an Exercise/User Guide. It gives you some of the exercises you can do with the bands, but there more on their website. I personally wish the guide was broken down into sections like the website (upper body, lower body and core) with a little more info on the muscle groups you will be work for each exercise. I'm sure I will be able to find that info somewhere else when I do a web search.

Resistance bands and weights. I only have 5lb dumbbells available to me right now, so that's what I'm using until I get paid. Then I'm going to bump it up and buy a heavier set. She makes reference to using up to 20 lbs though, but only for certain exercises.

With the hand straps attached the bands are 5 feet long. So you can use it by one end in each hand and use your foot as the attachment point, meaning the band goes under your foot and your stretch the ends with your hands. This is pretty common and will work fine for you. You can also use them by attaching one end to something stationary that will hold the force you apply to it. I use mine by attaching one end to my very heavy elliptical machine. To get more resistance just add more bands together. Hope this helps.
