Customer Review: Doesnt fit at all!!!So I bought this for my boyfriend because he would like to workout when hes in my apt, since he wouldnt be able to go to the gym. Once it came and we put it together, it didnt fit any of my door frames because the curved part of the bar is too long.... I dont know what kinfd of door the guy in the picture is using it on but it was def NO WHERE CLOSE TO fitting my doors..... so now he uses it just for the dips, but we were SO disappointed because the main reason he wanted it was for the pull-ups. The only reason i didnt send it back was because I didnt feel like going through the extra hassle.
Customer Review: Nice product
If you want to do pull ups this thing works. Just make sure that you a door with a frame so that the hooks on top can latch on. I do pull-ups hanging out of my front door for all my neighbors to see because that is the only door in my apartment that has a frame.

Starts to smell really bad once you wet it. The smell does not go away. I've even stopped using it, cause i'm embarrassed by the order when i'm at the gym. This white fungus thing is all over it now as well, yuck.
Customer Review: Best Workout Towel
I've had this towel for a couple years now. As the first reviewer said it's the best at handling your sweat and keeping you cool. It stays wet to keep cool but doesn't drip and won't let water out if you have it on clothes or over your shoulder. I just rinse it out after a workout, roll it up and put it back in it's tube. It's resilient, long lasting and yes, in response to the earlier review - I have washed it without any issue.

The Harbinger Fitness Mens Flex Fit Weightlifting Glove protects serious weightlifters hands from soreness and blisters while still offering ultimate comfort while weightlifting. The FlexFit design is for athletes who require the maximum range of motion in a minimal glove design. Short finger length reduces unwanted bulk for easy finger articulation.Customer Review: Workable
It's too soon to give these gloves 5 stars, since part of any evaluation of such a product must be its durability, and I've only had them for a couple of months. So far so good though. The gloves are important to me because they protect the rings I wear and because they give me a consistent grip on dumbbells. Can't beat them for the price.
Customer Review: Best glove I have ever owned.
I've been a weight lifter for many years and have gone through MANY gloves. These are by far the best I've owned. One reason I love them is that they are not intrusive at all. The softer leather and flex section make them a pleasure to wear. They also for some reason seem to grip the bar better then any other glove I've owned. They also have the right amount of gel in the palms, if there was any more it would be annoying, so the girly men just have to look elsewhere! They do wear a little faster than other gloves, but not thats to be expected with the softer leather and flex sections, but is worth it since they are so great to wear. I give these gloves a beating 4 times each week and still on the same pair I've had for over a year. Would definately recomend!

Rebounding is arguably the most complete and efficient exercise known to man, and among all forms of exercise, is the one with true life-changing potential. Following our highlighted features just below, read on as we highlight just some of the unique benefits of rebounding!Features & BenefitsFoldable w/ free storage/travel bag Our Rebounders quarter fold on four solid hinges Easily stored in closet, under bed, or behind door Slide into the included storage/carry bag to take with you on trips!Superior Construction Steel frame and 32 metal springs support up to 300 lbs Yet lightweight at just 30lbs Legs unscrew for portability. Many experts stress avoiding rebounders whose legs fold and are spring-loaded, as there is a higher risk of malfunction and serious injury 6 legs for stability. Most cheap brands will offer only 5 legs Full padding covering the springs from the frame to the mat Solid rubber leg tips permit rebounding on any surface - hard or carpetedAdjustable Stabilizer Bar Steel-framed stabilizer bar installs easily onto our Rebounder, and can be easily removed Foam padded handles on top and side of bar Ideal for beginners, or anyone wanting the added support or balance assistance Adjusts from two to four feet (above the mat) - can be used by child or adult120-day parts or manufacturer defects WarrantyCustomer Review: Mini Trampoline with Stabilizer Bar
This product is an excellent exerciser. I selected this one because of the size and the stabilizer bar. The larger size takes my extra weight and gives a little extra room to bounce. The bar gives the added security of always staying on the pad. The bar does not have to be installed, if you just want the trampoline. I planning to take rebounder on vacation with me, as it will disassemble to a quarter of its size and will easily fit in the car.
Customer Review: Good buy.
This was easy to assemble, according to my dad. It only required him to put it together, unlike other reviews that took several people and fingers. I love that it has 6 legs, it makes it sturdy and also the bar is great. But if you have kids, beware of them leaning on the bar, my daughter is rough with it and it could tip and she tries to do gymnastics on it also, so adult supervision is required. It was however, missing a knob, but nothing serious and did not affect it's use. My daughter, nephews and I love it. Great buy.
Professional Grade Fitness, Exercise Balls
Customer Review: not all balls measure up
I like this ball but it's not as big as I thought it would be. I believe this ball was measured deflated and is 22cm deflated, not inflated. I'm 5'3" and this ball is too small for me to use properly. I had previously purchased a stability ball from Fitness Quest. Same measurements but a bigger ball. My younger son works out with me and has no problem with this ball. My best advice is, if in doubt, see if you can contact someone before purchasing and ask if the ball was measure inflated or deflated. Still a quality ball. Just be careful on the size ordered to make sure you are getting what you need for your workouts.

The Amazon price for the Endurance B2U Exercise Bike, with free shipping, was the best I could find anywhere. The bike arrived on the day expected and was in excellent condition (Very well packaged in box). Unfortunately, that is where the good news ends. The assembly instructions were about the worst I have ever seen. Most of the instructions were small-scall images. There were very few written instructions and what ones there were were written by people who have never spoken English. They made no sense at all. I had a terrible time figuring out how to connect the magnetic resistance knob to the cable. Finally, at the bottom of the box was a second set of instructions that actually showed how to do this. The bike has a heavy duty feel to it, or at least heavy as it weighs well over 100 lbs. The seat height is adjustable and the seat itself is quite comfortable. The bike is extremely quiet even when peddled at high speeds. About the only sound I hear with the bike is my heavy breathing and my 51-year old knees popping. Its easy to listen to television while exercising without turning the volume up above normal levels. The absolute worst part of the bike is the "friendly console" that is very cheaply designed for such an expensive bike. The calorie counter does not adjust to the resistance level so, the bright guy that I am, I think I will always set the resistance at Level 1 since Level 15 doesn't burn any more calories per hour. Another annoyance is that there seems to be very little difference between resistance levels 1 through 8 and you have to get up to level 11 to 15 for it to be challenging. I have to say that the heart rate monitor seems to be accurate. If I had known what I was getting for my money I would never have bought the silly thing. However, now that I have it put together I'll probably use it the rest of my life as it does provide a way to get good exercise without leaving the house.
