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

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.

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.

Actually it is. Since the rope was built for speed and its very lightweightI think you can do singles or double unders without a problem.Don't settle for just one trick, I'd recomend you try at least a few tricks because you would probably get bored doing the same thing even though you'll get better each time.

Would not work well and spring mechanism would break down quickly in my opinion. Very well made and will last for years with correct weight limit but if you plan on using for exercise I think you will be dissapointed. I suggest a good speed rope for adult jumping exercise. :)

It's heavy. I wouldn't recommend using it unless you're a professional and you have a way to transport it.

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.

The rope is 3/8 but has a bit of stretch to it. I would not personally use it for the 2 ton rating. Maybe that only applies to the metal parts? Are you really lifting 2 tons though?

Yes, the Poly Rope Hoist is easy to use. When you pick it up, even if the ropes are laying "bundled" on each other, as soon as you begin to pull the two pulley sections apart, the ropes all line up. Very simple. The two ton rating is more of a wish than reality. I knew that when I bought it. 500 pounds is more like it, in a lift. Maybe you could "drag/pull" a two ton object across the ground, but that doesn't mean you're exerting two tons of force.

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.

Hi, it seems pretty strong to me. I put my weight into it, but I am not particularly strong (67 years old), so I can't say for sure my personal trainer son wouldn't break it...but I think it will take the scrubbing pressure.

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.

The over all weight is about 25lbs I would say. It's a good rope. Good weight. Hope this helps.

After a couple weeks I've added 20 lbs to the wieght bar and lifted it to level 3. I can't tell you about the lbs level of the cords. I am a man but have a severely injured back. It's convenient having the machine in the house and I'm pleased with it for what it is. Quality is good and it's better as I get used to using it. Good DVD.

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 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.

When you fall, the distance you fall is very important as to how strong the rope needs to be as is the weight of the person falling. To be safe I don't think this would be a good choose for anyone. A much better choose would be a length of climbing rope which you could get at REI by the foot so your cost wouldn't be too high. This is really cord NOT rope.
