I'm looking to possibly purchase this for my wife who is into the Pure Barre exercises/workouts. Is this sturdy enough to handle those workouts.?

Well, I use the barre that way. However, I use 10# sandbags on the base for weight as it will tip if it's not weighted. Otherwise, it is quite sturdy and well made, and I like it a lot. Mine stays up all the time, but it is easy to store under a bed if you don't have the room.

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.

Yes, it is very sturdy. I sit on mine 7 or so hours per day at work, bouncing to the music. A good work out for legs, abs and glutes.

It's a nice piece. I think it could handle the DVDs as long as you don't make it top-heavy. Mine seems pretty sturdy, but I do have it against the wall - recommend doing that for yours. Doesn't rattle or sway.

Yeah but it'd be kind if awkward I think. But yeah the resistance works either way. I don't recommend the machine for really hard core workouts. It will only hold up for light use.

It's far from the "fixed to the wall" barre in dance studios as well as the bars that aid the handicapped who need to put their full weight upon it in order to maneuver up and down. That being said, if you distribute your weight pressing down perpendicular to the floor, you should be fine. Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaning with an extremely angled trajectory.

It is very sturdy and it should be able to handle hand weights. My husband has LOTS of stuff in his and it stands up well.

Hmm...it seems pretty sturdy. I put a good deal of pressure on mine taking the legs off a couple of times. I don't know if you could do that without damaging whatever is inside, though.

This bar is pretty sturdy- my daughter is 54 lbs... And my older son is 63 lbs, I wasn't sweating it when they both went on together- hope yhat helps!

I believe it is sturdy enough. I find it difficult to push empty. Each wheel seems to want to go in a different direction, but I have not given it its first workout yet.

I use this to stretch (leg up, fold over, chest to thigh) and practice barre on. I don't have any issues with it. You can adjust the bottom part by moving it forward or backward depending on how you'll be using it and where your weight will be distributed, this can help if you feel it's unstable.

Yes! This beam is as sturdy as the ones at the gym! We are very satisfied with it!

Hello, Todd! This bar is really light, and even when used as a ballet barre, one has to be aware of its propensity to tip over. I use 10-pound sandbags on the bottom supports, and it will still tip if I'm not really careful. So, I would have to say the answer to your question is no.

If have to say, "no." It's great for Barre excercises... It does what it's made to do. I have a young child and only let her stretch with it. Definitely would not use it for flips. It's not sturdy enough. Hope this helps.

The squat bar is sturdy enough for 405 maybe more but I don't need to go any heavier. What I did was purchase and olympic bar as well.

They are sturdy. I've had no issues but I'm 185lbs. I use then for pull-ups, dips, etc.

Sandy, I haven't heard any creaks or moans coming from the machine yet. It's hard for me to realistically say yes, but I would say quite possibly it could hold up in a commercial gym.
