We designed this footplate for people who don’t need the $229 pro version. It’s just as strong, simpler, and easier on the wallet. Yeah, you could build one yourself, but after buying materials, tools and putting in the work, you’d probably spend about the same. We just wanted to make a solid, affordable entry point into band training. Hope you like it!

How does the footplate affect band tension?
Band Tension Guides
We conducted multiple tests to determine the pounds per inch each band produces (across all sizes and lengths).
In the link below we have tension charts for the 32", 37" and 41" bands. Each band has two charts showing the two different ways we calculated our tension guides (singled vs doubled under our Footplate).
Why you should be training with Resistance Bands:
Better Workouts
Resistance Bands mimic the natural strength curve of human anatomy, meaning they increase in difficulty where you are at your strongest.
Happier Joints
Bands are a great alternative to bars and weights as they put significantly less stress on your joints, keeping your body feeling and moving better.
Save Time
Resistance Bands save you valuable time by providing hundreds of exercises for you to workout anytime, anywhere.

I recently got into resistance band training and this is my first footplate. I decided to go with this one because it is budget friendly compared to others on the market. I was very pleased, it is sturdy, strong, and gives you a solid base opening up a wide variety of exercises. As I progress in resistance band training, I like how it is compatible with the widest bands. Thank you serious steel.

Bought this as an upgraded floor plate for the X3 system.
It’s perfect for the new 2.0 X3 bands.
Base plate is extremely well built and sturdy no matter the exercise movement.

Received my first Acacia Wood Training Platform which was damaged between shipping and arrival of product. SSF quickly made things right by sending out a new Acacia Wood Training Platform which I am pleased to report was in great condition and a high quality product thus far. Great customer service and great product will keep me as a future customer and I recommend highly.

Great product! The only thing I would change is, I would make it a little larger. I would definitely recommend it!

I replaced my V1 UHMWPE footplate which was heavier and had less clearance underneath for the bands. The wood foot plate with their new adjustable bar is travel friendly and extremely durable. I'd recommend it just for how lightweight it is.
