How is this different than a typical work-out bar, priced at less than half this and hold much more weight. What does this have that they don't have?

I think it is safer. The weight bars are not meant for swinging. Plus the rings are easy for changing different swings. I think it was the best investment I purchased for my sensory seeker child!

This bar is made to handle the components for the Rainy Day system, like the swing and hammock. It's not made to be a work-out bar.

The bar sits securely in the mounts and has grooves in the bar for the swing hooks to not slide. It's string and safe in doorways without doorway jams. Easy yo relocate and a variety of swings work with one bar.

It has metal rings which are used to attach the swing, as well as notches in the bar to hold the rings in place so that the swing stays properly aligned/centered (presumably so that children won't swing into doorways if the swing were to shift side to side).

Not to much different but its easy to use and it came with the clips that attach the swing hope this helps

I only used it to hold a swing for a 30 pounds boy. I have not tesed it with more weight than this.

No question that the bar when properly installed is sturdy and stable enough to support a normal weight. But I think it might be tough to pull yourself up from a sitting position with just this bar, depending on how good your balance is as you pull yourself up.

It comes with two bars that you add weight to. Is that what you are asking?

I had a Total Gym 1000 a few years ago. It folded up but it was a bit of a job (I'm 6', 205 & fairly strong.) This product seems slightly heavier than the current Total Gyms in this price range, but is half the cost. If you can afford the price difference maybe you should go with what you know. When you get used to either and in decent shape I bet either will be a snap. I think I'm going to try the Weider.

I think most bars that hold weight on each end are 35lbs. I didnt weigh it. Just a suggestion, get the weight set w it, n u can change the weights

The stability is fine, but the pull-up bar is something to be desired. I've had to replace it once due to the weld breaking on both sides. I had a friend make me a new one out of a higher gauge steel to stabilize it. I only weigh 185.

Mine is also the Rack Pro. It weighs 30 lbs. It doesn't come with weights but I am thinking of getting some. In the meantime, it is doing more reps. :-)

Bar has threaded ends and comes with two, large, chrome-plated "stars" that screw onto the ends to secure the weights. Some have complained that the stars will "unscrew" slightly with use. After a few reps you may need to retighten the stars, but it is as simple as closing a jar of pickles.

I would recommend the IRON GYM XTREME it's a bit larger and with the Extra Hand Grips it holds you out from the Door Frame a bit more resulting in more grip by the Iron Gym on the door frame contact points. It's selling for $25 at WalMart wth 97 cent shipping right now. It feels so solid you won't worry about falling.

I have never measured the length of the bar we use. It is a heavy duty knurled bar. I know it is at least 48" in length. It can hold over 300 pounds of weights although I'm not using it with that much weight on the bar. The Marcy bench we have is rated to hold about 600 pounds of weight if I recall properly. It is heavy duty. If you have an Olympic or heavy duty sized bar and are using 150, 200, 250 pounds of weight or even more the bar rest will hold it. If the bench is assembled properly it will not wobble or move. It will be rigid and sit like a rock in place. The bar holder will hold any bar from I'd say one inch in diameter and up to the diameter of an Olympic sized bar. It is comparable to weight benches I've seen in gyms in the past. It'll hold a lot of weight and not move, wobble, lift / tilt if assembled correctly. You can be confident using it. I'm an old guy in my early 60's and disabled and I have complete confidence in this bench and have used it for quite some time now, as does my wife as well and we've never had an accident, a problem, or anything go wrong.

It's a smith machine so you don't have to buy separate bar, when assembled it is attached. I bought weights at local sporting good store because paying shipping on weights is silly.

Hi, this fluidity bar is a beautiful piece of equipment.I ended up selling mine on Ebay. I have several herniated disc in my back and the small motions that you have to hold really aggravated my back and neck. I also hated that a majority of the work out DVD was done on the matt and basically a modified sit up and nothing to do with the barre. If you think you would use this to stretch or are creative enough to learn your own workout routines it might be worth the investment. As a side note. I ride a pedal bike and I am a dog walker but this work out I found to be just not for me and painful Hi, this fluidity bar is a beautiful piece of equipment.I ended up selling mine on Ebay.

I am only guessing, but there is space for several hundred pounds, as much as can fit on it... it is a standard bar. It is NOT going to collapse...

Todd, I was able to contact the Total Gym Store yesterday. They advised that the bar should not exceed 300 pounds.

It is for use on cable based gym equipment. It is not a doorway chin-up bar.

That's what I thought. So I bought some cheaper copycat straps... I strap them around the beam in my basement...the buckles slipped and couldn't hold all of my 177lbs. Trust me when I say....you get what you pay for....just sayin. I was just downstairs using my TRX Suspension straps & thought to myself...this is my best investment yet. Get a full workout in half the time.Hope this helps...Cheers

they actually dont come with the typical "J hooks" you would find at an actual gym. they're more like "L hooks" if you ask me, but they're pretty solid and can hold some serious weight. i've personally only put about 250lb on them several times and the hooks work well. the only thing i would say bad about them is that they are kind of long so the bar seems to roll around a lot.
