ATTACHMENT BUYER'S GUIDE
Depending on your use of the All In 1 Fitness Strap (cable, suspension, band, stretching), there are 2-3 essential attachments you can get for a reasonable price that will give you access to the majority of the exercises.
Please note there are a small number of attachments in the industry that do not have an attachment hole big enough for the Fast-Attach Fitness carabiners to fit into. The simple fix for this is to attach a smaller set of carabiners into the attachment and then attach the Fast-Attach Fitness carabiners into the smaller set of carabiners.
Please click the Attachment Manufacturer's Directory link either here or at the bottom of this page for a full list of manufacturers.
Essential Attachments
If you are using the All In 1 Fitness Strap for suspension exercises only then you can start with a pair of horizontal handles and a long bar which will allow you to perform many exercises. You may want to consider adding a pair of thigh straps and a belt squat strap to give you access to many more exercises.
If you are using a cable machine then we recommend 3 essential attachments to start with that will allow you to perform the majority of the exercises. The essential attachments are a pair of basic horizontal handles, a long bar, and a pair of thigh straps.
If you are on a budget then you can get all 3 essential attachments for around $50-$100 on Amazon. This is a small price to pay for the amount of exercises you will be able to perform. Click the Amazon links below to find the attachments that are best for you.
Handles
Handle options are horizontal, vertical, or specialized. Of these 3 options, horizontal handles can be used for the most exercises.
Horizontal handles are held with an overhand or underhand grip.
Our favorites are Spud Inc Deluxe Cable Handles and Rep Fitness Steel D-Handles for their quality, comfort, and versatility.

The All In 1 Fitness Strap is designed to accept handle attachments connected in pairs with each attachment held in separate hands. We are currently working on a patent-pending one-sided strap that will accept a single attachment that can be held with both hands.
Long Bar
It is recommended to start with a lightweight long bar and not a long bar that is made from heavy steel. it may be difficult for many people to hold up a heavy long bar when performing movements in the horizontal plane of motion. A heavy long bar is best used in the vertical plane of motion for movements with a path of resistance of 45* or more.
If you are tall and/or have long arms and/or long legs then some long bar exercises may not work for you because the strap will not be long enough to avoid contacting your body. You can fix this by connecting a double-ended loop strap to the end of the All In 1 Fitness Strap.
Your long bar should have revolving anchor rings at each end of the bar to connect to each side of the All In 1 Fitness Strap. it is not recommended to get a long bar with an anchor ring in the center as this may get in the way when performing certain movements. The image below is an adjustable-length long bar that is compatible with the All In 1 Fitness Strap.
Depending on the manufacturer, some long bars may have endcaps that unscrew. If you have a long bar with endcaps that unscrew then inspect the endcaps before each workout to ensure they are on tightly as these may unscrew over the course of time from using and handling the long bar.
There are budget options for long bars available on Amazon for about $30-$40.

Thigh Straps
Thigh straps are adjustable in size and are large enough to be used around the upper legs and small enough to be used around the lower legs, ankles, upper arms, forearms, and wrists.
Your thigh straps will have a Velcro adjustment system. After extensive testing with heavy weight, Velcro will hold up for the majority of users. Keep in mind that different straps may have different lengths and use different Velcro-strength closing systems. Our test were done with the Ader brand thigh straps shown in the image below.
There are budget options for thigh straps available on Amazon for about $15-$40.

Suspension Anchors
If you want to perform bodyweight suspension exercises or band suspension exercises then you will need to purchase a suspension anchor which is inexpensive and sold separately.
Suspension anchors are designed to wrap around a chin-up bar to secure your All In 1 Fitness Strap to the chin-up bar.
A feature on the All In 1 Fitness Strap is the option to use a double anchor for extra stability. If you have side-by-side chin-up bars then you can use two suspension anchors and attach them to each side O ring anchor on the All In 1 Fitness Strap to best prevent any shifting or sliding that may occur with a single anchor.

Abs Straps
Abs straps can be used for numerous exercises with the All In 1 Fitness Strap. For some exercises, abs straps are an upgrade in comfort over leg straps and arm straps.
It is recommended to use abs straps that are designed with the carabiner attaching directly to the top center of the strap.
Abs straps that are designed with the carabiner not directly centered on top of the strap may cause the strap to have an unbalanced alignment around your legs and arms.

Belt Squat Strap
A belt squat attachment allows you to choose from a wide range of basic movements to more specialized exercises.
