Viajero Pilates Bar Kit for Portable Home Gym Workout - 2 Latex Exercise Resistance Band - 3-Section Sticks - All-in-one Strength Weights Equipment for Body Fitness Squat Yoga with E-Book & Video

I like this a lot more than I thought I would. It takes less than a minute to connect the bar pieces, and then you're instantly ready to start working out. I don't have space for large gym equipment, and this is a very suitable replacement. The pamphlet provides some sample exercises and a an e-book and video. But, this is so easy to use, you don't even need a video. Just think of exercises you'd do with a weight bar or dumbbells, but add on the flexibility and capability of additional leg exercises on the floor. I also like that the bar keeps the bands spread out and away from your body, so they don't rub against the skin while exercising. The cost is also so reasonable compared to the new equipment flooding the market...these "home gyms" where you stand on a platform, and pull up on the resistance bands without a bar. Those cost anywhere from $100-$800+, which is insane. Seriously, Google those things. You get the same thing with this pilates bar, except you put your feet in the straps and can easily move wherever you want.

I bought the pilates bar to use while traveling in my RV. The first one I received was defective but I received my replacement the next day. What I like is that is comes apart into 3 pieces and can be stored in the small carrying bag which is great for an RV.What I don't like is the difficulty with increasing the tension of the bands. On other bars you simply roll the bar and the bands roll around the bar. Not so with this one. You have to physically wrap each band around the bar with your hands toward it then you can continue to roll the bar and the bands will roll onto the bar. However you must keep a lot of tension on the bar or the bands will slide off. This is a pain when I am following an exercise video and have to pause it to wrap the bands around the bar. Otherwise I like this product so far, it gives me a way to workout while traveling.

I love this Pilates bar! It’s my favorite to workout my whole body. Especially my arms and abs. Very easy to put together and perfect to travel with. The only small complaint I have is that one side is resistant when it’s comes to the cord wrapping around the pole. That’s such a minor flaw though for such a great workout bar.

FINALLY!!! A Pilates stick that you can screw and unscrew. I have two others that you have to press some 'buttons' to connect the two parts and disconnect them for portability. I can't do it. It requires a lot of strength and it hurts my fingers to even try to do it. So it doesn't fit into my gym bag because I have to keep it connected at all times. I HATE IT! I saw this on line here at Amazon and couldn't wait to get it. One other thing that is also very important, at least to me. The two bands are attached to the bar at the top so that they do not roll around the bar. This makes is very simple to increase or decrease the tension on the bands. I have had to put double-sided tape on my other bars to prevent the bands from slipping around. I cannot say enough good things about this bar...not to mention the really neat carry case that comes with it that makes it really portable. Nice! Very nice! And the price is just right.

This has been a great addition to my introduction to Pilates and it's great for general strength training as well! It's easier/better for me than free weights but provides similar benefit. I like that it's one piece but I can use it to work out my arms, legs, and abdominals too. It's got so many uses! Initially I had difficulty getting the tube to wrap around the bar and stay wrapped in order to get more resistance, but with a little practice and seeing it done on some videos online, it DOES work! I'm very pleased with this purchase and look forward to finding more ways to use the equipment from the free ebook and other online resources. Highly recommend!

When I purchased this product I was excited to read that it came with an e-book and video instructions once you registered your purchase. My stick didn’t come with a registration card and I didn’t have any luck when I contacted the company directly. I know you can find videos on other websites but I ordered this one specifically for that reason.

I ordered a couple other pilates bars, but they didn’t fit the bill. This is the one you want. The resistance bands are heavy duty, as well as the foot straps, nice and wide. I prefer the screw together bar as opposed to the snap in place method. I ordered the “used like new” which sometimesIsn’t the case, but this one truely was LIKE NEW and saved $10. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed~

I received my Pilates bar very quickly and was excited to start using it. Unfortunately it was damaged in transit. I immediately contacted customer service and was assisted by Cheryl. She understood my situation and resolved my issue ASAP. She was so kind and friendly and didn’t hesitate to fix an error they didn’t cause. This was the best customer service I’ve ever spoken!The Pilates bar works great and is actually more of a workout than I bargained for. I intended to use it for squats but after a quick YouTube dive I found thousands of exercises I can do with this Pilates bar. Surprisingly this bar can provide a full body workout. My body will be thankful later because right now it’s sore lol. I highly recommend this company and their Pilates bar worth the price!
