I need a bar to do exercises-would this support a 200 # person?

I bought this for my 6 year old it is great. I am over 200 and it holds me BUT if i was going to get one for myself I would take this one apart and use a stronger chain. I hope that helps you.

Not a problem - it's very well built. I'm just under 200 and I know it could handle someone much heavier.

We have this bar mounted in our garage and it works well, my weight is 160 and it feels secure on the wall, just make sure you mount it high enough to get full advantage of your feet not touching the ground. Great item for the price!

the only time I put that much weight on the bar was on the rack ..I loaded it and let it sit for a little while and then unloaded it .... 600 pounds is a lot of weight ... If you are actually capable of squatting or dead lifting that much to be safe you might want to go with a stronger bar .....This is a really good bar for your average person and will do really well for most, except for super strong people

My wife and I use the bar for bench press and squats and it works fine. We are both 60+ and don't load the bar very heavy. The bar is very solid.

You don't necessarily need a bar, but works best. You can use a sturdy tall object, like I used a back of a chair. I just wasn't impressed with the workout, but maybe because if I had the correct height of a bar it would have worked better. I just went back to using my Jackie warner DVd's. I saw better results with them.

Hey John,if none of ur door n the house is sturdy enough to secure the Tower 200,the only door n ur house that would b sturdy is the front door!I live n an apartment building and none of the doors n my apartment was sturdy enough to hold my Tower 200,so i had to rest it on my front door and that where its been since i bought it about 4 months ago,i been working out 3 to 4 times a week for about 15 to 20 min. and i havent had any problems :-) ;-)!GOOD LUCK :-)!

The bars will handle the weight (up to 220 lbs). They may not be tall enough for some of your exercises, though. They are 5" tall.

I'm 200 - wouldn't advise. Its sturdy enough for clothes, but its not furniture. And that top is vinyl. Its just not for sitting. Just don't do it.

No, you could get a little back work with it though not very good. I'd buy a bar made for working the back.

I think if the base is secured, it may support your frame, the problem with it is that the base is wobbly and the distance between the two legs is not constant when set up---lacking a crossbar at the bottom to add stability. If you are able to set it right and secure the bars with heavy sandbags, it should be usable.

Yes! I own a pair of gravity boots and this bar works well for these types of exercises. Definitely worth the money.

I'm sure you can use it for that but there are definitely cheaper tools targeted for that specific use. I used this bar for practicing the technique and form of my Olympic lifts. You can use it for whatever you like though!! Good luck

Hi, Ruth;you will have to go to the exact specs from the supplier, but I do know that it will support my own body weight of 200 pounds at least.

I'm 200 and its held up fine. It is wobbly though. I'd recommend something more commercial to be honest.

Not sure. I'm 180 but I'm sure it would support someone over 225lb. When I first got it, it sagged in the middle where I sat. Then I bought the "backbone" and that made a big difference. It's a support rod that goes under the floor from bow to stern. I'll check in the book to see if it has a weight limit listed.

Geesh, I really don't know. I'm 200 and my wife is probably about the same. This is a very sturdy setup, I imagine it could support quite a lot. I love my mattress!You might contact Serta, maybe they can tell you for sure.
