Is this rope suitable for in-home personal training? I am looking for things that are easy to bring from home to home. How heavy is it? thanks.

Hi sorry took me so long to answer. Yes its perfect for in home training as long as you have the room. Im training my clients in my backyard and its perfect. You can carry it if you need to its not to heavy for me just a little cumbersum. Its great for outdoor training...

That's how I use it. It isn't very heavy, but you do have to have a stout attachment for it. I use a post on my deck or the leg of a heavy desk.

Sure! I keep my rope in my trunk, all coiled up. It's a bit of a pain to get it in and out of car, but it's a great addition to a home-training or outdoor training regimen. Rope it around a sign pole and you've got a bunch of great new exercises to add to your clients' workouts!

Probably not in home unless you use the backyard. I take mine client to client but I bought an army surplus cargo bag to lug it around in, it's pretty bulky and I only got the 50 foot one. Clients can really benefit from it so it's worth it to me but I probably woudnt do it indoors.

It's great for in-home training. I use it all the time with others. It's not too heavy and I keep it in the box it originally came in making it easy to transport

My Attwood, the same as this one, handles up to 12 lbs. and uses maximum 3/16" rope up to 100'. Two things to know before ordering.

Absolutely not. It is a kernmantle rope but not heavy enough nor designed for such. Check out Blue Water, Singing Rock, Edelrid and such for climbing, belaying and rappelling work.

You bet. A great rope! I would recommend using only figure 8's since some of the mechanical belay or rappel devises are made for larger diameter ropes.

My 75 pound nephew has, and has survived! I weigh in at 230 pounds... I wouldn't dare try using it. The nylon rope appeared very strong, but I think it had a weight restriction.

I load it up but 45s are a little bulky... I use 25s and 10s... I def put 130lbs for lat pull downs... Been lifting for 20yrs, def good addition to your home gym

I like to use to decompress after a hard day. Im way to fat to climb a rope, but it is a lot of fun just swinging it around and throwing it up in trees. Plus you sound real cool when someone says "You have a grappling hook?" or at least it makes me feel cool.

Not sure this is the right answer but I don't see why not. The biggest obvious issue would be just like if you were using it as a tow rope would be weight load issue. This rope is rated for two people with a max weight somewhere in the low 300lbs. Don't know exact manu. specs. I would check into that! Hope this helps

I would not chance using this rope if you are asking about 140-200 lbs. personal safety. Mine broke when brand new. I am not sure how much weight I was trying to support. (removing tree limbs)

I agree with the first ans, they are bulky even without the rope attached...pack clothes inside..I have not used mine yet...good luck

The bar by itself is heavy. I have used 110lbs without any issue. The bar is solid and should take more weight. If i was going to perform cheat curls, I prefer a short straight bar. I bought the bar because I've torn my tendons and surgery is the only option. This bar allows me to continue to lift w/o straining my tendons.

This is a "half rope", not a "single". That means it's dynamic, but *must* be used as part of a double rope system if you will be leading on it. It is however OK for bringing up a follower on a single strand.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though. I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However...

I bought the cocking device but found using the rope instead is much faster and easier. The cocking device is a pain to set up and seems to me would only be necessary for the elderly, kids, or a disability.The 175 lb draw seems like a lot to pull, but I find it to be rather easy and I'm 5'7 150 lbs. To me, I feel like I wasted the $80 on it as I was not sure what to expect.

Many sizes are available, and what you plan on doing with your rope has a lot to do with it. Most standard rope movements for a beginner could be done with plenty of intensity with a 30ft long 1 & 1/2 inch rope. Intermediate and a good rope to have is a 40 ft. long 1 & 1/2 inch. 2 in. diameter ropes are for those with some established rope training and are heavier causing more intensity during workout.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

Just like James stated below I haven't push it that far but currently I have 2 45 rubberized plates on then (larger than solid steel plates) and I would say I have enough room to out 4 on each side but the nylon braided core do rope will fail first. For a home gym I think it's adequate as it fits the cage very well.I wouldn't push it past 200 personally but if your lifting that kind of weight in a pulldown you should be telling me how to workout! I'm just a desk jockey trying to stay in shape at home..Very pleased with both the construction quality of it and the cage with the price I paid for them...However I think it was in the instructions and cab be found on X marks website.
