Does anybody know where I can get one in the Sheffield area, also what colour / resistance is best for general warming up and down?

I've been thinking of getting some of these too and would be interested to know where people recommend.  Wouldn't be adverse to getting a set or ordering from t'interweb thingy.

I can't remeber where I got mine from but I found a supplier simply by typing "theraband" into a search engine.

Here is one such site: http://www.thera-band.com/

And another:  http://www.gymworld.co.uk/thera-bands.asp

Yeah I've googled around and found lots of sites, but was wondering if there is an "official" theraband brand that make decent quality, as I'd like to avoid wasting my money on any cheap sub-standard quality products.  Yes I realise that at the end of the day they're just pieces of rubber, but I wouldn't want to loose an eyeball snapping something thats basically a piece of shit (although given I'm a weakling thats unlikely :P)

Yes, maybe I should have put more effort into googling, found this site:

http://www.handyhealthcare.co.uk/mobility-aids/physical-assessment/rehabilitation-equipment/thera-band-resistive-exercise-band.html

which looks like a winner. Was thinking about getting the green one and maybe something from the 'toileting' section too.

Decathlon sell em in a pack of 3, each offering a different elasticity [therabands that is]
Looks like £8.95 for the set
