5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the lifespan of your GRIFEMA GA5002 resistance bands.
- Cleaning: Wipe the bands with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.
- Storage: Store the bands in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided storage bag to prevent tangling and protect them from dust.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the bands for any nicks, cuts, or signs of material degradation. Discontinue use immediately if any damage is found.
The bands are made from high-quality Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) material, known for its elasticity, durability, and non-toxic properties.

6. Troubleshooting
Resistance bands are generally simple products, but here are some common concerns:
- Loss of Elasticity: Over time and with extensive use, resistance bands may lose some of their elasticity. This is normal wear and tear. If a band feels significantly less resistant or stretched out, it may be time to replace it.
- Visible Damage (Tears, Nicks): If you observe any tears, nicks, or holes in your resistance band, discontinue use immediately. Using a damaged band can lead to breakage and potential injury.
- Skin Irritation: While made from non-toxic TPE, some individuals may experience minor skin irritation. Ensure bands are clean and dry before use. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
