Is this Bar lightweight? How does this compare to the Fluidity Bar?

I use the Vita Vibe Barre in a group setting. They are light weight. The support legs can rotate 90 degrees, making stack storage convenient. Each student picks up their own barre and brings it with them to the room where the classes is held. I have not use the Fluidity Bar, but it appears from there website image that the height of the barre is not adjustable, and there is only one horizontal bar where the Vita Vibe has two horizontal bars, both of which are adjustable. Hope this helps.

The barre is sturdy,but not heavy, I have used this barre for fluidity as well as P57 work outs. I have to wedge the side of the barre against the wall to keep it from moving. Others have mentioned using sand bags. I have never seen an actual fluidity barre. I know that it is possible to adjust the barre to do the workouts. I hope this helps.

My initial reason for getting the Vita Vibe had to do with price. But, having worked with it for some months, I am happy to report that it was an excellent choice for many other reasons. It is sturdy, well made, easy to set up, easy to store, and it is lightweight. Occasionally, I will sandbag the base to keep it from tipping, which it can do during certain aggressive moves. But, to me, that is a small price to pay for its weight and ease of use.

You don't really put weight on the bar ore say. It is strong, don't let it fool you, it will not allow you to do all it makes out to on the description beware.

I would say absolutely not. About a pound of pressure start up, push or pull bottom bar. Sometime you have to hold on to something to keep you down. You are not having to lift your weight at all. You will not stay down unless you want to, now its just a little fear of unknown. Just moving one arm carries you up or down. I feel it is therapeutic as well as instant relief.

Hi ! Unfortunately, I cannot help you, because it has not been installed yet, but what I can tell you is that 5 longs screws holds the support of the bar on each side, once the two sides installed, you insert the bar in it you slide in on each side,the bar is really sturdy and heavy so, Yes I would trust it, not afraid that it would bend or brake. Hope this help.

It is a sway bar. The down force method of the bar sliding against the same bracket used to hold the bar for weight distribution helps prevent the sway.

It would help but I don't think its dense enough for bars. I have a $100 one That is much denser

The bar itself is smooth. I wrapped it in first aid style tape to give it grip.

Yes, it's lightweight. If you pick up the cup by itself it barely feels like you're holding anything at all - that's how light it is. Or at least that's how it felt to me. I've only ever used cups made of heavier material, so it was definitely a surprise for me.

While it certainly wouldn't hurt to use a bunkie board, I haven't seen a need for it personally. At 215 lbs I do feel them flex when I'm on it, but only a little bit. After 'long' term use I haven't noticed any of the bars bending from overloading.

No I have not. The bar is very light weight and hollow inside I believe. And it's better to use cold water or lukewarm water when using. That works best for me.

I have found my bar to be very solid, with no movement even on kipping pull-ups. Added weight would be no problem.

I am currently squating with 315 and it feels solid. I contacted York and they don't think that you should put over 315lb on the safety bars, but I think it would hold more if you needed to drop the load. I live in a condo and highly recommend this to anyone with limited space.

Hello Marsha,I ride a BMW r1200c, which is a bit of a lightweight for a cruiser. With that in mind, I would say that for my bike, my bar height, and the speeds I ride that I have notice a difference, and quite like the bar weights.Not knowing how your bike is set up, you might not get the result you hope for.Reduced vibration, yes. Added grip length, yes. Less hand numbness, yes. That was enough for me. I would do it again, and I would recommend them fro the most part.ride safe. JPB

I bought the 36lb bar. I think it is light for squats (41 year old female) however that's the heaviest bar they had.

It's very lightweight. Also, it's not as stable from side to side as the 4-wheeled walkers. My use is for drop foot, my toe drags unexpectedly and I'm able to grab the brake to stop from stumbling. I don't use it for balance. If you need to put a lot of weight on the handlebars, I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't know the weight capacity, but I can tell you we had both bars tightly PACKED end to end with clothing from our master closet and the bars were strong, the wheels were good thick quality and we could still roll it even filled as it was. We did use the middle bar after measuring shirt/ jacket/ folded over pants length. Some of the bottoms from the items on the upper bar brushed the middle bar. We had no problem with the middle bar slipping. Two of us assembled it. That made it easier to properly place the middle bar, keep it straight and TIGHTEN!

There are no add on weight to my knowledge. The bar is pretty stiff so there is more resistance than you think. It's actually too difficult to do some exercises, like rehabbing a shoulder or working on rotator cuffs.
