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

I'm not sure what kind of rope it is but it is very nice rope. I have used it for a year now and it has held up better and done better than some of my mammot ropes. The rope I got in this package was 10.0 mm which is what I like to do. But very nice rope. And the rest of the gear I am still using too after a year it is all nice and durable.

I love it for my personal use. Heavy duty yes. Not sure about a lot of roughing up, while it is heavy duty - it is not by any stretch military grade. Perfect for average use. Backing packing and camping does fine.

Absolutely! It's amazingly portable, too, so you can take it anywhere and it takes up almost no space, unlike a 'rope' jump rope. I'd highly recommend it for any sort of fitness.

The rope is very thick. Not sure how thick, but plenty to hold even two people. I weigh 230. I love these things. Only wish the rope was 35 ft.

This particular machine is probably a bit light. if you start lifting seriously, you will probably outgrow this in a year. I would either get a Bowflex that allows adding rods, or go with free weights.

Sorry, I bought it and have not used it yet. However, you can always get some free ropes from Home Depot or Lowes.

As others have said it is not meant for horizontal pulling. You will find it will twist and bind easily. The chains will also tangle. I would also consider a comealong. It will be cheaper and much less awkward. For horizontal lifting, this is awesome.

Fifteen is kind of short. For me I'd definitely go with the heavier (usually thicker) rope.

I think so, but I'm not using mine now. I think that worst case scenario would be that you might need to sit on a stool or tie on an extension to the rope. No big deal in my opinion.

No, it's light weight but this is made to cover a little have your body. If you are looking for something a little longer, then this is not the mat for you. It is a light cushion that does the job. This does not come with a cover so if you want to roll it up, then get a good rope. Hope this helps..

This type of rope is great for cardio. Going with heavier ropes tends to help with strength. Keep in mind that you can adjust this one to your specific height. Google how to measure for jump rope lengths for your height to get one that's most effective for you, just inches on either side makes a lot of difference. I own this rope and several others, this one is fast and takes a bit of practice since it doesn't give as much "feedback" as heavier ropes do. But once you learn it, it's great for longer cardio and endurance type workouts. RX SmartGear and Crossrope 2.0 are others that I own that are similar to this one, you can buy them in specific lengths and they come in different weights which is how I like to train(move back and forth from different weighted ropes). They are all vinyl coated steel cables like this one.

google it. ropes are a little more than half a lb per foot, so 50 feet is about 30 lbs.

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.

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.

I forgot the actual weight of this rope (I aguessing 30 pounds), but it was not exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a combat rope that was comparable to the one at my gym and this one did not fit the bill. Rope weight was not what I was expecting and did not provide the workout that I was looking for.

I'm not a trainer or anything, but I'd recommend joining the gym. You'd have more access to a variety of equipment at a gym, and while I really like the straps, I only use them to augment other things. I also don't like using the straps at home. They don't work the best over a door. I prefer to loop them over equipment at the gym. If you really don't want to start with at the gym, I'd rent some DVD's from the library, find ones that you like, and then buy them. I'm a big fan of Jillian Michaels DVD's. Look at her 30-Day Shred if you haven't tried it. Great workout. Hope this helps.
