In a fitness world saturated with complex machines and expensive equipment, The X Bands stand out with their simple, effective, and affordable approach to building and shaping glutes. Ken Schmidt, a former Navy fitness instructor and the founder of The X Bands, has designed a unique resistance band: the Glutezilla.
Crafted with an insightful understanding of workout needs, the Glutezilla band is a patented hip thrust tool available in 50 or 75 lbs. It transforms glute and leg exercises, making them accessible from anywhere, without the need for bulky or high-cost equipment. This lightweight, cost-effective resistance band embodies the essence of The X Bands‘ mission – to deliver top-notch, long-lasting workout equipment at fair prices.
What sets the Glutezilla band apart is its innovative design that emulates the benefits of hip thrust exercises, traditionally executed using expensive machines or heavy barbells. With just a few 20-30 minute sessions per week, the band can yield significant results for both the glutes and legs. Its design enables it to exert both downward and inward tension, targeting the sides and rear of the glutes. This multifaceted approach is something weights alone can’t accomplish, leading to faster and more rounded results.
The Glutezilla band exemplifies the commitment of Ken and his wife, Carol Schmidt, both ex-military, to promote fitness. Their passion for physical health transcends their own workouts, pouring into their drive to help others achieve their fitness goals.
X Bands came into being in 2010, while Ken was still on active duty. His extensive experience in fitness training and leadership, both within the Navy and local gyms, informed the creation of this transformative fitness brand. By 2017, Ken was able to commit to X Bands full time, with Carol joining the company in 2020, further solidifying the brand’s mission and ethos.
X Bands represents more than just a fitness brand; it’s a community guided by a genuine passion for fitness and a mission to help others achieve their goals in a simple, effective, and affordable way. Whether you’re a seasoned fitness enthusiast or a beginner looking to sculpt your body, The X Bands, with products like the Glutezilla band, provide the perfect tools to enhance your workout from anywhere.
