Bally Fitness Pilates Door Knob Rope Excerciser

Not even worth 1 star but 0 was not an option; I Used the rope only 5 times before it shredded to pieces and broke. it is the worse product i've ever used. bally's must already know of the defect of this product but is yet still selling it; i work out often and has had ropes before but none of this poor quality. my last rope was a cheap nylon rope which i forgot in my hotel room while traveling and it was of much better quality because i had it for over 3 years and it never gave me any trouble and i used it faithfully everyday. first of all, this Bally's rope would not stay on the doorknob so i tied it tight so it would'nt come off..then while using it it start smelling as if it was burning to pieces and shreds of the black rope start falling in my face. then the pulley start hanging out and after only a week of using it..the rope shredded and broke off the pully all together..so there u have it..u can be curious and buy it to see for yourself but i did ignore a bad review before i ordered it also..thinking it can't be that bad..;))..but it was worse than the review and Bally's lose major points from me...i would'nt even work out at their Gym because they have intentionally cheated people out of money because i'm sure they test products before selling them and they know this is a bad product. well okay there u have it..if u don't believe my review..order and see for yourself.

The only flaws with this rope is that when you place it on the door knob you have to really secure it with something exact (like a rubber band or another piece of rope)

I got this to try to lose some baby (tummy) weight . Easy to learn. I felt it the next day. The only problem is that it kept either coming off the knob or if I tighten it the door opened on my head (ouch)..

The black rope sheds pieces all over face and chest during use. Danger of inhaling black material shed off the rope. Gets worse with each use. Horrible!

In the mid 1980s, I bought the Body Exerciser from American Consumer. It amazed me at how well it took inches off of my thighs. Over the years, some of the plastic pulleys wore down, so I have been looking for a replacement. The Bally Fitness Pilates Door Knob Rope Exerciser comes close to matching the Body Exerciser. It has three minor problems that if you are willing to work with, will do the job that the Body Exerciser does. First, it squeaks. Second, the loop that fits over the door knob has a tendency to slide off easily. Last, the rope itself is too short (I am 5'4"). I easily solved all of these problems. I ignore the squeak. I added extra rope to the loop section and to the exercise section. I have been using the Bally Exerciser and am already seeing my thighs and abdomen tighten up and slim down. The results I obtained with this product were excellent, which made its imperfections acceptable.

Only used once and didn’t like it- just wasn’t for me

The rope was shredding from the day that I bought it. Pieces fell in my face, eyes & hair, so much that I quit using it.

I used to have a pair of these back in the 80's and they worked great. I think they were made with better material. I guess my legs have gotten bigger since then. These are made of cheaper material, they are too short & keep sliding off the door knob. Useless to me.
