Amber Sporting Goods Deluxe Doorway Chin up Bar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: Good value for money, Easy to install, extends a lot. I've put mine in the corridor instead of door frame
Cons: the pressure against the doorframe ruin your door, be careful. Extends only from one side so if you install it in a wide doorway the handles are uneven.

Ab Exercise Bar with Cushioned Neck Support - New Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This ab bar is so easy to use, and very affordable. It gives you that little support, so that you don't hurt your neck or back while trying to do sit ups. I go to an excercise class, and most of the girls have bought this same bar, because of the price and the ease in use.

Valeo Foam Exercise Mat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mat to use with my P90X Workout DVDs. I wanted to use it as:
- yoga mat,
- padding for jumping jacks/running/lounges,
- ab work
It is ideal for ab work - it has a great thickness and the foam gives very good padding. But for the rest, it's not so good. For yoga, whenever I'm in a position that requires to stretch and press against the floor (like downward dog, for instance), the mat stretches with me, which is very frustrating. And it may be dangerous.
When I jump on it, it tends to move just a tiny bit, and the foam rubbing against the floor makes an awful, loud noise.
Plus, I used it while wearing my cross-training shoes, and my foot touched the mat while bringing a leg forward in a plank. It ripped it.
I would give it 2 1/2 stars, but it's not an option. It's a nice enough mat, but you need to use it for static stuff only, and probably not wear shoes with a substantial sole.

Thera-band Accessories - Exercise Handles Review

(More customer reviews)These are definitely a good product. Comfortable, but I wish there was a metal loop at the ends. This would make hooking onto different bands much easier.

UPPER PLUS AND ABS/CORE PLUS DVDs from P90X Plus with Tony Horton Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)P90x Plus brings a whole new tempo and attitude to the P90x workout. The two resistance workouts move lickety split with lots of new moves using weights or bands, push-up bars (optional), and pull-up bar. The Upper Plus is 41:35 long, so it is almost 20 minutes shorter than most P90x resistance workouts, but it is just as intense because it moves so quickly and some of the moves work multiple parts of the body (i.e. core, arms, legs) at the same time like the "Fly Blast" and "Warrior Swim." The "Combat Push-ups" are very hard. They are military isos where you move your feet from side to side for each rep. It runs for 90 seconds, which is very difficult. What I've found with a lot of the exercises in the P90x Plus series is that they are timed rather than maximum reps, so they really test your endurance as well as strength. The "Shoulder Everything" and "Bicep Everything" where you do shoulder lifts and bicep curls in different positions isn't difficult at first, but they each run 90 seconds which really challenges one's fortitude. Traci Morrow uses dumbbells for the exercises using weights while Mark Briggs demonstrates the same moves with bands.
The Abs/Core Plus is excellent. It runs 20 minutes, so it is about 4 minutes longer than Ab Ripper X, but, unlike ARX, it does not consist of just floor exercises. Abs/Core Plus incorporates what I like to call "stations" (I've never heard that term used before, but I like to use it). You move from one "station" to the next in each round of exercises. Each round consists of an exercise hanging from the pull-up bar, standing sometimes with weights, in plank position, and on the floor. There are 5 rounds with all different movements. Most of them are 30 seconds long which is a relief when doing the hanging crunches because they are hard--especially "Mixed Bike" where you're cycling your legs while hanging. A couple of the plank exercises count repetitions. The weights used are very light (2.5 to 5 lbs for women, probably 7.5 to 15 lbs for men). Brand new moves are introduced in this workout including "Scorpion Plank" and "Cherry Bomb." New music is used in these workouts, too, but listen for the one played during "Wood Chopper"; it sounds like a whale sneezing.
I am happy to add this workout (as well as Total Body Plus) to my rotation and look forward to using it because of all the variety of moves it uses. My favorite workouts tend to fly by, and this one is definitely over before I know it, plus I feel good afterwards. Anyone who has been doing P90x for awhile will benefit by incorporating the resistance workouts in the Plus series to their regimen. I'm not a big fan of the cardio workouts in the Plus series, but they also bring a different style which is what "muscle confusion" and breaking plateaus is all about.

Resistance Toning Tube - Medium Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've never used resistance tubing before so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I actually really like this product. However, I feel a little miss led because the picture shows 3 items. I received the red or the (medium). Seems to work great. The resistive tubing seems rather long. I'm 6'4" and in some exercises like the resistive band shrug I have to double up the tubing to get rid of the slack. I probably just need to cut it to a length that works for me. I do love being able to work out without expensive or heavy weights. Great product if you travel a lot. I would have given it 5 stars if it came with the other two bands depicted in the picture. For that I'm only giving 3 stars.

Amber Sporting Goods Training Push Up Bars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted to buy the harbinger ones, but the fact that they were made of plastic got me thinking, I'm the kind of guy who reads a lot of reviews before making a purchase, and reviewers said that the harbingers were not that good for heavy guys, I'm a 240 pounds guy, so those weren't for me, I went looking for ones that were made of metal, I was about to buy the Reebok ones sold by target, I went to a local Target to actually see them, they seemed pretty good, but I felt the handles a bit uncomfortable, saw this ones with no reviews, but looked made of metal and sturdy, so I looked for another products from Amber, to check reviews, they were good, so I went ahead and bought them.
Did some push-ups to test them and they seem to hold my weight without any problems, handles are good, but not the best, they are easy to assemble, no need for a screwdriver, got them ready in 2 minutes.
I couldn't find any actual pictures of the bars, so I uploaded some, if anyone needs them.

Bally Fitness Pilates Door Knob Rope Excerciser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Sunny Health & Fitness Sit Up Bar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I hadn't even used it yet and the adjustable plate broke off already. It will still function but I need to hold it in place while tightening it on. Unfortunately it won't fit on some of my doors either because they have a plate under the door. So keep this in mind when ordering. I've tried applying it to a cheaper hollow door and it seems to hold fairly well. Will try and update this with more usage. I think the plate breaking off was a structural defect. Hopefully yours won't break. Otherwise, it feels pretty sturdy.

Exercise Equipment Sit-up Bar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best $15 I ever spent on any equipment. It is simple, strong, takes up very little space and easy as heck to install. I like my feet anchored when I do sit ups and this is perfect. It is adjustable for feet height (in case you are wearing shoes or barefeet-has a foam sleeve). All you do is slide it under a door, close the door and you're set! Nothing can be done to improve this item. Its great as it is!

Gold's Gym Circuit Training System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set a few months back from a local retailer. I was really curious if it would work, and it totally does. I convinced myself to get this combo package because I wanted the push-up spinners as well. It was about the same price for this set as buying the bar and spinners individually. The ab straps seem pretty useless, because they are one-size-fits-none.
Caveats:
1) you need to have molding round your door frame. Most doors do, but you should check.
2) Works on my home doors, but not on the office doors at work -- those doors are wider. who knew?
3) The straps are useless. I haven't found anyone who was the right size for them to work.
4) The push-up spinners are pretty sweet. They really make push-ups harder. They also let you go negative, dropping below your hands towards the floor. You really don't want to go negative as it's bad for your back/shoulders, but being able to go to neutral zero without hitting the floor is great. You don't get that little rest at the bottom to cheat.
After a couple of months, the foam that rests against the side of the door frame is starting to wear off.
in summary:
bar : works!
spinners: works!
straps: zero.

Want to get fit but don't have the time or money to join a gym? Turn to the Gold's Gym three-in-one circuit training system, which makes it easy to work your upper body and abs in the comfort of your own home. The circuit training kit offers several workout options: you can attach the grip-lock bar to any doorframe in seconds to perform chin-ups and pull-ups; you can suspend the bar along the floor to hold your feet while you perform sit-ups and crunches; you can use the rotational push-up stands to challenge your chest and triceps; or you can use the Comfort Tech ab straps to work your core and abdominals. Each item is handy by itself, but when combined they give you a multifaceted workout whether your goal is toning, strength, or bulk. And as a bonus, the circuit training kit is small enough to store easily in a closet or under your bed, where it's always ready to help you get fitter and healthier.
The circuit training tools also offer individual benefits. The bar-lock door gym, for instance, installs with no screws, so you don't need to have a degree in engineering to mount it securely. The rotational push-up stands, meanwhile, are equipped with non-slip bases and feature adjustable resistance for increased definition. Finally, the Comfort Tech core straps are machine-washable, letting you scrub them free of sweat and grime after a tough fitness session. The set--which weighs a total of 8 pounds--is ideal for home use or traveling.
