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

It's very light weight and easy to carry and store in a closet. Even though it is light, it provides a very strong workout. I'm very happy with mine and would recommend it highly.

I did not personally use the strap. My husband and his friend used it when moving large items like the washer/dryer and dresser up the stairs. They said that it definitely helped to take the load off of things, but it does not make things weightless! one of the main problems, was that the strap is not that wide and you would probably have difficulty keeping a hottub balanced. Would probably work w/ 2 w/ 4 people.

Let me start first by saying that the workout itself is one of the toughest I have ever done. I am reasonably fit and strong but the rope workout reminds me of doing wind sprints back in college, except this one is for the whole body. I made a mistake of wrapping the rope around a square shaped patio pole whose fairly sharp edge scuffed the rope after about ten minutes of use. So I would suggest you anchor, or wrap the rope around a tree or even better a rounded metal pole. That way the rope will last a long time. I hope this helps.

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.

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.

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.

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

Probably but i wouldnt. For skiing you want something that doesn't have slack. I think it all depends on the type of rider you are the more advance the better toor you'll need the rope is for towing a tube

This has worked very well for me in my efforts to shed the 85lbs I've gained post pregnancy. The equipment itself is very bulky and sturdy; personally I like that it isn't wobbly, flimsy and cheaply manufactured. It has all of the features that I need and like. My husband who is 6' 4'' tall and 280lbs uses it regularly and it's still going strong! By incorporating this in my routine as the cardio segment of my workout for 60 mins 4 times a week I was able to get to a healthier weight by shedding 60lbs!! The Sole Elliptical Machine is worth the money based on my experience from using it almost every day of the week since purchasing it.

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.

I just got this rope recently myself and it is fairly thick, maybe a 1/4 inch. Definitely good for hanging anything.

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.

No, this rope isn't ideal to be used as a resistance rope. It only has enough stretch to keep it durable, but a bit too much and I feel that it may snap.

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.

Using this rope for climbing would be extremely dangerous. The total force on the rope would be far greater than 195 pounds if you fell. This rope is NOT designed for climbing, despite it's appearance under a search for climbing rope.
