Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or looking to improve your pull-up strength, the Fittona Pull-Up Assistance Resistance Bands make training easier, safer, and more effective.
This guide will show you how to assemble your resistance bands correctly, adjust the resistance level, and start exercising in just a few minutes.
What's Included in the Box?
Before you begin, make sure your package contains:
- 1 × Door Anchor
- 5 × Resistance Bands
- 2 × Foam Handles
- 2 × Carabiners

Step 1: Install the Door Anchor
- Open a sturdy door.
- Place the door anchor over the top of the door.
- Close the door completely.
- Pull gently on the anchor to make sure it is securely locked in place.
Important:
Always position the anchor on the opposite side of the door from where you will be exercising. This prevents the door from opening during your workout.
Step 2: Choose Your Resistance
Your Fittona system includes multiple resistance bands that can be used individually or combined.
Light Resistance
Attach one band.
Ideal for:
- Beginners
- Warm-ups
- Rehabilitation exercises

Attach two or three bands.
Ideal for:

Heavy Resistance
Attach four or five bands.

Simply clip the selected bands onto the metal ring of the door anchor using the carabiners.
Step 3: Attach the Handles
- Connect one handle to each resistance band.
- Ensure every carabiner is fully closed.
- Tug lightly on each connection before exercising.
Never use damaged or partially attached clips.
Step 4: Check Your Setup
Before every workout:
- Door is fully closed
- Door anchor is secure
- Carabiners are locked
- Resistance bands are not twisted
- No visible cracks or tears in the bands
A quick safety check only takes a few seconds and helps prevent injuries.
