Often though the competition is facing the same pressure. Or there is no competition.

My trainer at the gym introduced me to

https://patents.google.com/patent/US10245460B2/en?oq=1024546...

which sells for about $250 (worth it if you really use it.) My first instinct is that this product ought to be available for $25 on Temu if there wasn't a patent but I know from experience that if I talked to folks at TRX they'd have a good explanation of why my number is low. (e.g. TRX is in a position to pass costs on)

TRX won a lawsuit and you can't get one from Wal-Mart today

These are between $20 and $250, but having many different band resistance levels is useful:

There are plenty of cheaper no-name options on Amazon, but they have the property that the handles snap off during use, risking injury.
