Trying to decide between this and Yogabody Naturals. Besides the trapeze and the nylon ropes, are the handles included and are there reinforced loops?

Both DO not have foam cushion. Without cushion, the fabric digs into your body. Also both do hot have daisy chains.. but have knotted ropes which are unsafe. However the Yogena Inversion Sling has the foam cushion and daisy chains with pockets

There are handles and the loops have a metal lining to prevent friction against the rope

Beth,I don't recall if the item listing included rope. I used my own & made a stop at the Big Box store for some more.

Everything is included. The ropes are long enough, but they've got a metal clasp around them in the back of the swing that prevents them from adjusting to the side. Ours was longer on one side than the other. If we could have moved the rope in the back through the hole to even the sides, it would have been fine. But the clasp wouldn't allow the rope to move through the hole.

There are lighter resistance, more flexible bands in the set which would be good. However, I am not sure that you would need or want the entire set and purchasing some individual bands may be more helpful. Also, the set I got had metal carabiner rings to which you attached and detached a handle depending on desired resistance. That might be problematic. It would likely be better to get a single or even a set that has fixed handles for ease of use/transition between resistances. Stay active!

For the short time I used it, yes, the handles are sturdy. It was a donation to a children's center. This is made of standard parachute material & is light weight nylon. In comparison, just like wind breaker pants without the inside liner. There is a circular, mesh filled hole in the middle so air can flow through the center. I am no expert, but unless you plan to alter it somehow it will not work for the purpose you seek. That's none of my business but wanted to make sure you saw that. Questions are usually asked because folks don't want to waste money on something that will not work for them. Hope this answer was helpful. Good luck!

There are no side loops however I don't find it difficult to pull into place and also have used the knee opening to tug it into final place after pulling up on sides . If you get the correct size it should work really well for you. I have two of them and find them really good.

Hi Nina, I have not tried to use it for these Iyengar yoga ropes, but I looked up your ropes and its purpose. I do not think the ultra anchors will work for that purpose. They are very strong and reinforced and you can attach any type of resistance band for the purpose of similating any workout you can do in a gym with nautilus equipment, but not to hold up a body. There would be too much risk of the material to stretch or sag. It would not matter for strength training but I am doubtful of holding body weight and doing yoga exercises while holding body weight. Again, I don't own any yoga ropes so I am not an expert. Amazon pushed me a note to answer your question since I own one of these.

Yes, the picture is accurate. The handles are double stitched and seem pretty strong. I've used them to lift her with a loaded pack with no problems. However, I would not use them for climbing, repelling or leash attachment, but they are good grab handles for lifting. There are two metal attachment points for a leash. I've added some pictures of the harness on my dog. She is 75 lbs, 33 1/2 inch chest and 27in at the shoulder (large fits very well with a lot of room).

Mine doesn't have non slip material, the shoulder straps are padded and sewn in place. I absolutely love mine, I carry it in my trk. Constantly ready to go. I love to take it and go on a "day" trek to practice my woods skills.

The handles on this bag are big and fit comfortably on the shoulder. This bag does not have shoulder straps or hooks for detachable ones. You pretty much get what you see in the picture.

The one I received had elastic loops. There was nothing to fasten them to, so I used zip ties to secure the loops to the top rod. Furthermore, the loops lost all elasticity, so I will have to find another way to fasten it this year.

i think the only kind of loops to use are the harrisville design hoops, the quality is so much nicer and easier to work with. the other kind slip all over the place and don't have the thickness i want when using them, also the colors are beautiful !

JC, I did not get the handle/stabilizer bar. I had no prior experience and I was able to do all the moves on the trampoline without any difficulty so I cannot personally see the value in a handle/stabilizer bar. I am fairly athletic with good (maybe excellent) balance. If a person was not as sure of balance then maybe a stabilizer bar would be good to start with.

Yes - the lifting net, planter swing, cylinder holder and bag holder all come included when ordering through Amazon. I ordered this from Amazon on May 23rd, 2014. I received it on June 7th. By ordering on Amazon, I saved on shipping fees (due to being a Prime Member). Don't know if I would have gotten it earlier by ordering directly, but I did save $$$ on shipping. I hope this helps!

No leg cuffs, that is a new innovation for the total gym. Perhaps they will add them in the future? I also wish my machine had dip bars as well, but I can't really complain about all I can do for the price. I also like the total gym's new handle, as the cables do not pull down on your arms as much, if any. But the bottom plate still works well enough for lower body exercises.

The handles are nice. They are stretchy enough for you to be able to move your arms into any position but strong enough to handle it. The Handles are of a different material than the rest of the pad, the handles have more of a cotton texture for better grip.
