Professional Pilates Bar Kit with 6 Removable Elastic Adjustable Resistance Band Pilates Stick Sit-Up 180 lbs

I gave the bar 3 stars because I see potential, but there's a 50% chance I'm going to return it (so it's more like 2.5 stars, but Amazon doesn't allow half stars *shrugs*). I like that it comes with 6 band for loading up to 180#s, but even with all of the bands attached - there's no way it's anywhere near 180#. I'm accustomed to squatting with free weights (barbell + plates) (pre-COVID), and use of all 6 bands is probably somewhere closer to 100#, but more like 70-80#. Also, when you use all 6 bands, there's something about the ergonomics that makes the (back) squat action more difficult. I'll try to front rack it and see if I have a better experience. I do think that cables challenge your muscles differently than do free weights because ascending from a squat is a bit wobbly (and if you closely watch the video attached to the pictures here, you can see just a hint of it when the guy is using the bar to squat), maybe the cables need to be broken in? Maybe I have some deep internal stabilizer muscle weakness? I'm going to give this tool a fair chance, but I'm still on the fence about the purchase. I'll update in a couple weeks.

DANGEROUS AND CHEAPThis thing is an absolute piece of junk. First 3 minutes using it and the band snapped full force into my foot.The bands are essentially tied in a knot to keep themselves attached to the buckle. One band tore like butter and two others were on their way.I had three bands attached and was on my 7th or 8th squat (I’m only 5’10 and the resistance was so weak that I wasn’t even feeling the burn yet) and this thing failed.I was about 5-6 feet from my infant son, thankfully the buckle snapped into my foot and not towards him.

I read the comments about this thing breaking mid working and I didn’t believe it because it was fine for the stuff I was doing, but all of a sudden today it decided to snap on me while I was doing a chest workout, if I didn’t move out the way it would’ve snapped and hit me in the back of my head and not just my arm. I would like a full refund and your product belongs in the trash, no disrespect.

The locks for the adjustable slacks both will loosen when I raise up from a squat, I feel like the weight it says the bands are when combined isn't the actual weight.I don't recommend buying.

I guess I’m still trying to figure out the best ways to use this equipment to it full potential. Anything upper body or split lunge wise it’s great. The only issue I have/trying to figure out is when trying to do squats. So the positive resistance is great it’s doable, however, as I go down the straps go slack and hit the floor. Not sure if this is a issue anyone else has run into idk if it’s cuz I’m short or what. But that’s really my only complaint and hopefully I can find a solution soon enough.The resistance bands that are provided are good amount for someone that needs to start their baselines from day 1. The bar seems pretty sturdy this far.What I absolutely was happy about was the straps are easily adjustable. This was a must because now I can adjust accordingly unlike other products where the strap lengths are fixed, so a definite plus side there.

Overall giving it a 4 because it actually has stronger than expected resistance. I get a great workout with this.My only notes to improve is that the bar can squeak if it’s turning while you do certain moves, and that the straps do not adjust low enough for women. I am 5’6 and even adjusted to the shortest length I don’t get a full range squat you can tell the difference when you are closer to the ground that the resistance has eased up.The straps do dangle and touch the floor too but you can solve this by looping them around the handle. So I took a star for comfort as well for that.

It’s look strong good for bigger person . Im petite not working for me, I bought it but can’t use it the second time bc it too wide for my legs

I travel full time. Got this because my resistance bands were uncomfortable and borderline dangerous when doing squats. I like the ability of this gear to do the squats more comfortably however the advertized 180 pounds is more like 50-60...if you are shorterit will feel like even less. You need to be 8 feet tall to get the full effect. I tried following a link for additional bands but it just brought me to the same Amazon page. I bought some band material and made my own. Still. It is much safer than how I was exercising. As to sturdiness; it has loosened up and wobbles a bit.

According to the product description, resistance bands will not snap or break. For me one of the bands snapped after only 3 months of use. I contacted the seller but have gotten no response so poor customer service. Disappointed the seller would not at least respond back to my query.

The resistance tubes are all 30 lbs. It would be better if they were graduated, starting with ten pounds by two, then 20 pounds by two, and 30 pounds by two, followed by forty pounds by two. Beginning with 60 pounds could be hard for some seniors.

C’est original mais ça ne vaut pas une vrai barre. Je dirais juste que la barre devrait être plus solide elle se tord facilement si on utilise tous les élastiques. Mais ça a été une bonne alternative en attendant du matériel comme une vraie barre d’haltero

super

Speedy delivery, product in perfect condition. I love it.
