When I moved to NYC and was introduced to the cult of $70 Pilates classes, I was skeptical.
Then a friend dragged me to one, and I have to admit: I immediately understood the fuss. Those classes are brutal in the most deceptive way possible — you barely feel like you’re moving, yet somehow your core is trembling, your legs are shaking and you leave the class with your workout set drenched in sweat.
This is all to say that I found myself even more shocked when a set of $17 resistance bands from Amazon gave me a similar burn. They’re color-coded, offering varying levels of resistance, and made with a highly durable fabric that doesn’t slip around. I use them for squats, lunges, glute bridges, and all those tiny, controlled movements Pilates lovers swear by, and every time my core ends up burning.
The best part? Ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2026 (mark your calendars for June 23 through 26), this five-pack of resistance bands is on sale. It’s one of many early deals you can shop on sale right now. And, I’m not the only reviewer who raves that they’re well-designed and “well worth the money.”
It’s one of the most affordable fitness purchases I’ve made in the last year.
If there’s one piece of workout equipment I always recommend, it’s these booty bands. They’re well-designed, surprisingly challenging and work for everything from glutes and leg day to core workouts.
The burn kicks in fast, and I’ve genuinely noticed more muscle definition since adding them to my routine. The set comes with five resistance levels, so you can switch things up depending on the workout. And the fact that they’re color-coded makes it much easier to slip them on and off mid-movement.
Per my testing, they’re also way more comfortable than the rubber resistance bands at most gyms — no rolling, pinching, or digging into your skin. They stay in place well, even when I’m moving fast.
And my favorite part — they’re small enough to toss into your gym bag or pack in a suitcase, so you can take your workouts wherever you go. A seriously good investment for just $17 ahead of Prime Day.
