What surface is your bar standing on for the best stability - carpet? mat? concrete floor? Our bar is on concrete garage floor and super wobbles.

We are setting upon Christmas so not sure how it will respond but we will put on carpet.

Our bar is on a concrete breezeway floor and does not wobble, We have the two and a half inch thick mat that folds open to leave a surface of 4'x 4' on each side of the bar; however, your needs may require cable bracing. That will be determined by the weight and height of your athlete. You might also go with the suggested procedure "That it can be used to perform up to level 4 techniques and level 5 kips (level 6 with Covers 4.2ft x 4.2ft of floor space (7.5ft x 4.2ft with the extension kit)"If you use it this way you will be much safer in protecting your athlete.

The bar is very stable on our carpeting. However, we place a mat between the base bars for safety.

We put ours together out in the garage just to make sure it was ok when it arrived, although it is for Christmas for our grandkids so we took it back apart. It went together great and was very sturdy. My husband thinks if it's wobbly, it might not be put together properly.

Our's is still wrapped up waiting for Christmas. Nervous about that now! It will be in our gameroom on pergo flooring and will have a mat between the legs.

We have it outside on fairly level ground. We put sandbags on the legs to prevent wobbling.

We have ours on a hardwood floor -- it does not wobble. We did have it on an area rug on the hardwood initially but every time she did a kip the rug would slide forward, we have more stability on the hardwood. No carpet or concrete in the room we have this in, so can't compare those for you.

The bar sits on a carpeted floor in our basement. It doesn't wobble, very sturdy. Very happy with purchase. Best of all no need of any leg extention.

I bought this for my Grandaughter and it is on cement, she was anguish at first because it did wobble, but after she realized it wouldn't fall down she was fine

The bar is pretty much right under the joist. If you used the grips instead of the bar you might be able to depending on where its mounted. Mine is mounted in the garage ceiling joist so I have extra room above the joist. If it's mounted in the basement on a floor joist I don't thing you would be able to do it. Also, unless you're using perfect form, you may have issues as well. I think once a person got fatigued and their form starts to waiver they may start going forward too much and face plant the joist.

No it is pretty solid.. you just have to wipe off the bars and apply a small thin amount of lubricant on the bars to keep it from making a scratching noise.. It does not rock.. I have seen where some people complain the wheels jump of the roller bars.. but that has not happened to me.. My machine is on hardwood.. not sure about the stability issue if it was on carpet...

I use this on a carpeted floor and it did not wobble. Currently it's on tile floor, and it is steady on both types of floors. I am very pleased with this product.

The top bar is not soft. The entire setup is not terribly stable. I put weights on the bottom to help but I am still aware of the pressure I put on it at certain angles. Hope that helps.

Ours is on a concrete floor in a garage. We don't put wet shoes on it because the shelves are laminated wood, I think the finish would buckle quickly with damp things on it consistently.

I have mine on a flat carpet and they do not wobble. They are pretty sturdy.

You should not have to bolt it to the ground. My kids run from across the room and launch themselves onto the bar. It moves, but only slightly. FYI - we have it on top of a 1/3" mat.

On top of any flat, level surface is perfect. Definitely no need to put anything down on the concrete. Mine is built directly on the ground, and the surface is level but not completely perfectly flat, and it fit together perfectly and the doors operate perfectly. It's not as fussy as some seem to indicate. Any concrete surface that's even close to flat will be just fine.

We have a mat under the bar on top of the bottom support bars that provides weight. We have never had it fall or tip over.

For me the Wobble board only. I still use it on a daily bases & it has saved my ankles! I can't recommend the board more highly!

I had no trouble. You do have to make sure you are on a very hard surface. I did it on the concrete floor of my garage, and I may have had to use a piece of wood as a brace to balance it.

On Wood floors? NoProblem. Carpet? Not Sure. I Have A Panasonic 65"S60 and It Slightly Wobbles But Not Much

K Davis is asking how to replace the Pilates toe bar with a squat PLATFORM instead. I too am looking for this answer as an option for those who want a full platform, not just a "bar"...Hope someone else knows since some of us need support for doing squats and THAT requires a solid PLATFORM, not some "TOE bar".. I am considering making a platform out of plywood with padding and simply placing it up against the useless Pilates toe bar?

The support bar is about 11/2ft above ground. The downward side of bar needs to be sunk into ground to level it. This also provides better stability.

Is possible that this one just had flaws in manufacturing and not all towers have had issue. But our tower has been on both level concrete garage floor and low pile carpet in rec room. We pretty much knew when assembling that since some of the pieces weren't square that we would have problems once assembled. Like I said before both my son and I use it with little to no problems.
