I finally bought this bar when I realized that my gym wasn’t going to open again any time soon during the Covid pandemic. I have been doing Body Pump classes for 15 years and decided to start following classes on YouTube. I do not have room to store a full set of bar weights and wanted something easy, yet functional, that I could store away quickly under the bed. This product is PERFECT. I bought the 25 pounds weighted bar as a compromise (I generally use the weight bar at the gym in 20 pounds, 25 pounds and 35 pounds) so I picked the weight in the middle to buy. I can use my hand weights for the lightest sets & just have to accept that I will be doing 10 pounds (25 vs 35) less on a couple of routines. I debated buying the 30 pound Bintiva bar instead, but I saw that the length is 5 feet, rather than 4 feet, and liked the more compact length. Thankful I made this choice!
The bar is wonderful! It is easy to work with and well made. The bar metal is padded. Though the circumference is definitely thicker than the weight set I used at the gym, it is still easy to grasp for small to medium sized hands, like mine. I am thankful this product was available and thankful I made the choice to invest in my workouts. I have used it twice so far and it is perfect.
