INTRODUCTION
The H2 Resistance Band Station is the compact version of the RBS system - providing the same
benets as the RBS3 and RBS1 in a smaller, space-saving package. Perfect for physical therapy
ofces, small commercial gyms and home gyms.
The H2 Resistance Band Station is a wall-mounted, modular resistance band training station that was
developed to give sports, tness and rehabilitative professionals the ability to utilize all types of resistance
bands, suspension straps and stretch straps to their full potential.
One Platform – Three Training Protocols – Hundreds of Exercises
Versatility
With six different anchoring points in a single column, from ankle height to above the head, the H2 allows
users to perform hundreds of resistance band and suspension exercises; and dozens of dynamic stretches.
The H2’s anchoring system is a versatile platform that gives tness and therapeutic professionals a powerful
set of tools on the training oor.

Resistance Bands Suspension Training Dynamic Stretching

The H2 Difference
• Three training protocols
• Hundreds of exercises
• Multiple users
• Works with all resistance bands,
suspension straps & stretch straps
• Wall-mounted, space-saving design
• Easy-to-use
• Heavy-duty construction
In the simplicity and ingenuity of its design,
the H2 Resistance Band Station provides a safe
and secure anchoring platform for all training
and therapeutic applications.
Anchored to weight bearing wall studs
(or concrete walls), the H2 extends
only three-inches from the wall.
Made of all steel components, the H2 is a space saving
powerhouse capable of supporting up to 300 pounds
of resistance.
And, there are no moving parts. That means there
is nothing to break. The H2 is rock solid.
The H2 Resistance Band Station is Patent Pending.
3

Hammer Head Safety Hook
The H2 features the Hammer
Head Safety Hook. With its
T-bar barrier tip, the hook allows
bands and straps to be pulled
from every angle without the
possibility of slippage. Users
can exercise with condence
that their bands and straps are
securely anchored.
The hooks rounded shape was designed for smooth transitions and
ease-of-use. The neck of the hook is reinforced for added strength
to accommodate “extra heavy” resistance bands, suspension straps
and stretch straps.
Modular Design
The H2 is a three-component
modular system that can be
congured for multiple users.
In its basic conguration of
a vertical stack (pictured),
the H2 is designed for one
user. However, as you can see,
two people can comfortably
train on the system.
By mounting each of
the three components in
separate locations, the H2
can accommodate up to three
users exercising simultaneously.
No other piece of
tness equipment offers
the versatility and value
of the H2 Resistance
Band Station.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: The H2 Resistance Band Station is designed for use with rubber or latex resistance
bands; and cotton or nylon suspension and stretch straps. Do not fasten resistance bands or
straps to the Hammer Head Safety Hooks with metal clip hooks or other hooks made of hard
materials. This has the potential to damage the coating on the hooks and cause premature wear.
• Read all instructions before using the H2.
• Consult your doctor before embarking on a tness program.
• Do not allow children or persons unfamiliar with tness equipment or exercise in general,
near the equipment. Do not leave children unsupervised around the equipment.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Failure to do so has the
potential to void the warranty.
• Always inspect the equipment for damage before each use. Do not use the equipment if it is damaged.
If damaged contact Core Energy Fitness at CoreEnergyFitness.com
You can use clip hooks, carabineers
and other types of metal clip hooks
using the RBS D-ring attachment.

SPECIFICATIONS, TOOLS & INSTALLATION
Specications
• The H2 consists of three components
each holding two Hammer Head Safety Hooks.
• There are a total of six Hammer Head Safety Hooks
providing six anchoring angles.
• The units are 11½-inches tall and 2½-inches wide.
• Each H2 weighs two pounds.
• The Hammer Head Safety Hooks extend 3-inches from the wall.
Tools
To install the H2, you will need the following tools:
• Stud Finder
• Leveler, Plum Bob (string with weight attached) and Tape Measure
• Socket Wrench (¾-inch to ½-inch drive size)
• ½-inch Socket (6-point or 12-point hex bit)
• 2-inch Socket Extension (¾-inch or ½-inch drive size)
• Power Drill (with drill bit sufcient to drill starter holes as described in #6 on Page 7)
• 3 – 2½-inch Lag Screws (for each H2 unit; supplied)
• 3 – Washers for use with the Lag Screws (for each H2 unit; supplied)
Installation
The H2 is mounted to weight bearing wall studs using 2½-inch lag screws (supplied). Each component
is mounted with three lag screws accessed through mounting holes in the faceplate.
To install, please follow the following instructions:
1. Location. Identify the location to mount the H2. The recommended height for the top unit is seven
feet (measured from the top hook to the oor). The user has the option of mounting the H2 top unit
at any desired height. The key is having hooks above the head to perform downward pulling exercises.
Make sure there is enough oor clearance to perform the desired exercises.
6
The design, testing and labeling of the RBS3 Resistance Band Station,
RBS1 Resistance Band Station and H2 Resistance Band Station
were based on standards provided by: ASTM F 1749-09 Standard
Specication for Fitness Equipment and Fitness Safety Signage
and Labels; F2276-09 Standard Specication for Fitness Equipment;
and F2571-09 Standard Test Methods for Evaluating Design
and Performance Characteristics of Fitness Equipment.

2. Studs. Locate the wall studs with a stud nder. Mark the centerline of the studs.
3. Three units. The H2 system is comprised of three units (bottom, middle and top).
A. Mount the top unit with the top hook at seven feet. Hold the unit in the desired position
against the wall and in line with the centerline of the studs. Mark the location of the three
mounting holes. Using the Plum Bob, draw a (faint) line on the wall from the top hole down
to just above the oor. This will help guide you when determining the location of the holes
on the two lower units.
Note: The individual H2 components can be mounted at any desired height
depending on the size of the users or needs of the facility.
B. Mount the middle lower unit with the top hook at approximately chest height for a person
six feet tall. Hold the unit in the desired position against the wall and in line with the centerline
of the studs identied by the Plum Bob line (see “A” above). Mark the location of the three
mounting holes
C. Mount the bottom unit with the bottom hook at ankle height or about 6-inches from the
oor. Hold the lower unit in the desired position against the wall and in line with the centerline
of the studs identied by the Plum Bob line. Mark the location of the three mounting holes
5. With all nine mounting holes marked, use the Plum Bob to conrm that all of the mounting
holes are in alignment.
6. Using a drill, create starter holes through the drywall and penetrating the wall studs
approximately 3/8-inch.
7. Using a socket wrench, mount the upper unit rst followed by the middle unit
and bottom unit.
7
Top Unit:
Mount the top unit with the top hook at 7 feet
Middle Unit:
Mount the middle unit with the top hook
at approximately chest height for a person 6 feet tall
Bottom Unit:
Mount the bottom unit with the bottom hook
at ankle height or about 6-inches from oor

SAFETY – ANCHORING & THREADING
With a total of six Hammer Head Safety Hooks spread over three components, the H2 provides
numerous options for anchoring resistance bands, suspension straps and stretch straps.
8
Threading
To reduce the length and tension of a resistance band, a user
simply anchors the band on one hook and threads it through
a second hook. In the photo, the user has reduced the length
of the band by anchoring the band on a lower hook and
threading it through an upper hook.
The same applies to suspension or stretch straps.
In the photo, Shawn (Shawn Finnegan – Director of Fitness
& Rehabilitation for Core Energy Fitness) has anchored the
RBS Suspension Strap on the lower hook of the middle H2;
and threaded the strap through the top hook on the top H2.
This has the put the handles in the ideal position to produce
the desired level of body resistance.

9
Wrapping
To increase the safety of anchoring bands, the user
has the option of wrapping the band around the hook.
This will form a closed loop around the hook providing
a secure and safe anchor.
Wrapping is recommended when performing vigorous
dynamic exercises or exercises that require upward
pulls or presses.
Basic Loop
For most exercises, especially those without vigorous
dynamic movements, it is sufcient to simply loop the
band over the hook.
In this hamstring stretch, Shawn is using the 8-foot RBS
Stretch Strap as a pulley. After anchoring his ankle, Shawn
has threaded the strap through the lower hook on the
middle H2 unit. To perform the stretch, Shawn pulls on
the strap to draw his foot near.

10
Threading – Adjusting Length & Tension
To adjust the length and tension of a band, the user can
“thread” a band using multiple hooks. In the photo, the
user has anchored both handles on one hook and looped
the band through a lower hook to create a unique thread
perfect for leg adduction and abduction exercises.
When threading a band, it is important to follow
a threading path that provides the greatest safety.
For added safety, the user also has the option of wrapping
the band on the lower hook.
