Quick Verdict
If you’re looking for the complete workout, I think I found it, and it’s all in one single box. The color-coded push-up system is super smart, the resistance band setup with carabiners is well thought out, and the fact that you can pack the whole thing into a bag and slide it under your bed is a big deal. Where it shines is upper body. If legs are your priority, the door anchor works better than the board anchor for that, which is worth knowing before you buy.
Buy if you:
- Want a complete upper body training kit that stores in a closet or under the bed
- Travel and need a workout system that packs into a carry bag in minutes
- Are a total beginner and want a guided 10-week, 3-phase program included
- Want to scale resistance from 20 lbs up to 120 lbs without buying multiple sets
Skip if you:
- Train legs primarily and don’t have a solid door to use with the anchor, the board alone isn’t the best setup for lower body resistance work
- Already own a cable machine or dedicated resistance band station with fixed anchor points
- Need heavy progressive overload beyond 120 lbs of resistance for strength sport training

If You’re Looking for the Complete Workout, I Think I Found It
Everything is in one single box. That was the first thing I said when I opened this up, and I meant it. The Eliknaz 25-in-1 Push Up Board Kit comes with a foldable push-up platform, a full set of resistance bands with carabiners, loop resistance bands, ankle straps, foam handles, a door anchor, and a carry bag, and somehow it all fits together in a package that slides under a bed or into a closet. I wasn’t expecting to be this impressed, but check this out: the resistance bands alone come in two formats (long pull bands at 20 lbs and 40 lbs, plus a 5-piece loop set ranging from X-Light at 10 lbs to X-Heavy at 40 lbs), and when you combine them you can scale the total resistance from 20 lbs all the way up to 120 lbs. That range is wild for a kit this portable.
The board itself is 30.7 inches long by 9.44 inches wide, rated up to 600 lbs, and built from heavy-duty ABS that’s 1.18 inches thick. It folds 180 degrees flat. Pull it out, snap in the handles, and you’re ready. That’s the setup. There’s no assembly, no bolts, nothing to figure out. I love that. Let me break down exactly what makes this thing tick.
Everything In the Kit, and Why It’s Laid Out This Way
The board is the centerpiece, but the genius of this kit is how all 18 included accessories connect to it. The board has color-coded handle slots across its surface. Each color tells you which muscle group you’re targeting when you snap the handles in. Yellow means back. Blue means chest, the wide or tall blue position hits your upper chest. Narrow spacing goes straight to triceps. And if you go into that almost-diagonal position, you’re in shoulder territory. I don’t think there’s a muscle in here that you’re not going to be touching with this total workout set.
The handles themselves snap in with a firm click. No wobble. The ergonomic design is there to reduce wrist strain, which matters when you’re doing higher rep sets. Non-slip pads on the underside keep the board from sliding on hard floors or tile.
Then you’ve got the resistance bands. The long latex bands come in red (20 lbs) and black (40 lbs), and each one has its resistance labeled right on the band. So when I grab the red one, I know it’s a 20 pounder. No guessing. Each band clips to carabiner attachments, and you stand on the board as your anchor point, your bodyweight becomes the resistance base, and you pull from there. You can attach the foam handles, the ankle straps, or whatever accessory fits the movement you’re doing.
The Color System in Practice
I keep coming back to the color-coded handle system because it’s the part that makes this board so much more than a basic push-up stand. Most push-up boards just give you two or three positions and call it a day. This one has a full grid of color positions, each one tied to a specific muscle group, and when you place the handles into the correct color slot, the position of your hands changes enough that you actually feel a different muscle take over.
Triceps is the one I find most satisfying to demo. The handles go in really narrow. You’re doing a narrow push-up and you’re really not even working your chest at all. It’s all triceps when you’re doing that. If you’ve ever done close-grip push-ups on a flat floor and wondered if your form was right, this takes the guesswork out. The board physically puts your hands in the position and the color tells you what should be burning.
Shoulders are the other position worth calling out. You angle the handles diagonally and the push-up shifts into this almost forward-lean form that targets the upper shoulder and upper oblique in the back. I demonstrated it in the video and the difference in feel is immediate. There’s no ambiguity. That’s what I think is the genius part of it. No app, no trainer needed. The color does the talking.
And for the resistance band work, the carabiner clip system on the board’s hooks is clean. I grabbed the red 20 lb band, clipped it in, stood on the board, and ran through a set of bicep curls using the foam handle attachment. The setup took maybe 30 seconds. You can swap between the red 20 lb band and the black 40 lb band in seconds, and combining multiple bands to build up toward that 120 lb ceiling is just a matter of clipping more in. The carabiner clip system is clean, clips swap in seconds, and you can layer multiple bands to build toward 120 lbs of total resistance.
Leg Day and the Door Anchor
Here’s where I’ll be straight with you: leg work on this board is the weaker part of the system. You can technically use the loop resistance bands for leg exercises, those side sweeps and booty band movements work, and standing on the board while pulling the long bands works for things like bicep curls and rows. But when it comes to leg-specific resistance work, I like to use the door positioning or the door adapter. It’s a lot more fun and a lot better to do it that way.
The door anchor hooks across the door frame, which turns the entire doorway into a cable machine. For leg work especially, having a fixed, high anchor point at door height makes movements like standing leg curls and kickbacks feel right. The board-as-anchor method works, but for lower body the door setup is clearly the intended way to get the most out of it. If you don’t have a standard interior door you’re willing to use this with, or you’re in a space where that’s not practical, you’re limiting what this kit can do for your legs.
That said, for me, this board shines when we’re talking about upper body. Upper body is definitely the way to go with this thing. The chest, back, triceps, shoulders, arms work, that’s where every feature lines up perfectly and nothing feels like a workaround.

Who This Kit Is Built For
The total beginner is the obvious answer, and the kit leans into that with a 10-week, 3-phase challenge program included in the box. Day by day, it tells you exactly what to do. It organizes the workouts by color and by name, and it also walks you through how to use the accessories. So if you open this box and feel slightly overwhelmed by 18 pieces of equipment, the program holds your hand through it. I love that they included that. It closes the biggest gap that home gym kits usually leave open, which is: “I have all this stuff, now what do I actually do with it?”
But here’s the thing: this kit isn’t just for beginners. The resistance band setup scales. A total beginner might start with the X-Light 10 lb loop band for legs and the red 20 lb band for curls. Someone more experienced can stack bands to hit 120 lbs of total resistance on a pull exercise. The board itself supports 600 lbs, so there’s no ceiling on who can use it physically.
It’s also useful for travel. The whole system packs into the included carry bag, folds flat, and stores under a hotel bed. I talked about this in the review: you can literally just pack it up, grab all the attachments and accessories, put it all in the bag, and have it down under your bed or in a closet anywhere you don’t want to see it until the next time. Then you pull it out, open it up, and you’re ready for a complete body workout in a matter of minutes. For someone who travels consistently and refuses to give up training on the road, this is the way to go.
Before You Open the Box
Take 10 minutes with the included program materials before you start throwing accessories around. There are 18 pieces in this kit and they all have a purpose, but without looking at the color guide first, you’ll probably end up just doing regular push-ups in the middle of the board without using the handle positions correctly. The color system only clicks once you understand which slot targets which muscle group. After that it’s fast and intuitive, but that first session without reading anything can feel chaotic.
For the door anchor: check your door first. The anchor sits across the door frame on the hinge side and relies on the door closing against it to hold. Works well on standard interior doors. If you have a particularly thin or hollow door, test the fit before loading it with heavy band resistance.
And standing on the board as the anchor for resistance band work takes a little getting used to. Your feet placement on the board matters for band tension. Too narrow and the band goes slack at the bottom. Stand with feet about shoulder-width apart and it locks in. Once you figure that out, everything flows. For upper body resistance work, this setup is consistent and easy to replicate session after session.
Check the current price and availability on Amazon right here before you decide. The kit value at whatever it’s currently priced is hard to argue with when you count up what’s included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the resistance bands be replaced individually when they wear out?
The bands are standard latex resistance bands with carabiner ends, so compatible replacements are widely available on Amazon. The kit includes both a red 20 lb pair and a black 40 lb pair, if one snaps, you’re not replacing the whole kit. Look for bands with the same resistance rating and carabiner-compatible ends and they should clip straight in.
Does the board stay stable on carpet?
The board has non-slip pads on the underside, which helps on hard floors. Thick carpet can compress under the board’s edges and make the surface feel slightly uneven during push-ups. Thin carpet or a gym mat under the board on carpet works better. It’s most stable on hard flooring like tile or hardwood.
How long do the daily workouts in the 10-week program take?
The kit includes a 3-phase, 10-week challenge guide, but the program doesn’t specify timed session lengths in the materials shown. Based on the structure of beginner push-up and resistance band programs of this type, most daily sessions at entry level run 20 to 30 minutes. As you move into later phases the volume increases, but it’s designed to fit into a home schedule rather than a full gym session.
Is the door anchor safe to use on standard hollow-core interior doors?
The door anchor hooks across the door frame on the frame side, not the door surface, so the door itself doesn’t bear the full load, the frame does. Standard interior hollow-core doors work for most band exercises. For heavier combined resistance (stacking bands toward the 120 lb ceiling), a solid exterior or solid-core interior door and a sturdy frame give you more confidence. Start light and test before loading it fully.
Does it come with a warranty or return protection?
Warranty and return terms are set by the seller on the Amazon listing, not by us. Check the current listing page for return window details and any manufacturer warranty info. Amazon purchases from US sellers typically include at minimum the standard 30-day return window, but confirm before buying if that’s a deciding factor for you.
Do the loop bands (booty bands) work with the push-up board handles?
The 5-piece loop bands are separate from the long pull bands and don’t clip into the carabiner system on the board. They’re used independently for leg and hip exercises, like the side sweeps and thigh work shown in the review. The long latex bands with carabiners are the ones that attach directly to the board’s hook system.
