Great budget home workout kit, but not super heavy-duty This Pilates bar kit is a solid option for at-home workouts. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and the stackable resistance bands let you adjust the intensity depending on your fitness level. The bar feels sturdy enough for basic exercises, and it’s great for targeting arms, legs, and core.

I felt like this kit gave a lot of versatility and options but it's not easy to change or adjust when doing different exercises. In my opinion, exercise is already work and adding this tedious barrier is a no for me. I really wanted to like it. It did appear to be well made.

Use the leg/ankle straps that came with the packaging, I promise you’ll change your mind. At first I was using the handles (the ones that look like you obviously grab them with your hands or have that strap above it where you fit your foot in there) and when I would try to do the squats, they would immediately lose tension as I “squatted down/bent my knees” and it was really annoying. I switched to the ankle straps and I immediately felt the difference when I did certain exercises and moved to the higher resistance band weight level (20/30/50.) The only thing that’s annoying but still SOMEWHAT work-around-able is being short and trying to do bicep curls or an exercise of a similar motion that involve the bar placement being at or near the waist and PULLING it upward, because the bands will lose tension, even with the straps on the bar pulled to the lowest “height” settinf

When I used this for the first time it happened to be core day. I didn’t feel like I was working out. After about 45 min workout I put it away and just figured at least I did some movement for my body that day and I’ll go harder next core day. Holy smokes the next day when I woke up my stomach was so sore. I thought wow. I tried it again that same day but for legs, again the following day I woke up sore. I definitely underestimated this product. It is very lightweight but durable. Has many options in the positions to use that you want to work out. Easy to assemble and disassemble if you want to take it to travel. I would highly recommend for an at home workout staple.

This is a great little Pilates bar kit to use at home when the weather is bad or you simply just don’t want to go to the gym. I also bought a deck of cards with different bar exercises on it and it has greatly helped my at home workout routine. The only thing is that while including the bag to hold everything in was a nice touch, it is extremely fragile and the thing to close the bag broke the very first time I used it.
