I really like exercising with this bar. I use it with my Tonal. Quality is great. Grip is great.
I like the fact that it has the rings for hooks so you can choose how to use i
It was an easy decision to buy based on all the positive reviews! It’s sturdy and easy to put together. It gives you another option for working out.
I love this bar. I use with with my home Tonal gym. The Tonal straight bar hurts my wrists with bicep curls, bent over rows, and skull crushes. This curved bar makes all those moves comfortable.
I also appreciate the good support. I had an issue with the plastic covering (which is very rare) and they replaced the bar.
Perfect addition to your resistant band home gym. Very wonderful product. Totally worth the investment.. I had no doubt(s).
Con: center strap is not stable laterally, unless I’ve missed something obvious here. This should have come with the foot/floor anti-chafing sleeve, in fact any Bodylastics set(s) should include the sleeve/protector at no additional cost. At current price if $80 or so, it is overpriced.
Pro: Suitable for most users without worry of breaking or damaging the bar. Has correct and comfortably measured angling for proper arm workouts. Grips are durable and easier on your hands than standard knerling? we used to find in most gyms. Added bonus for road-warriors is the ability to disassemble and pack for commuting.
Another quality Bodylastics product. While not an absolute necessity, if you’re serious about resistance bands training, you’ll want this bar for the versatility it adds to your routines. I own bands from different companies, but Bodylastics is far and away the best. Their workout programs are also some of the best I’ve used.
I bought this to use with my Tonal home gym and im definitely not disappointed. At first I was concerned about it being two pieces (collapsible) but it is just as sturdy as a solid bar!
This thing is amazing! I bought it for my home gym to use with resistance bands and it’s very high quality and versatile. It’s very sturdy and built well.
I have been a customer of Amazon for a long time and this is my first time writing a review. This bar is amazing I have a bow flex ultimate 2 and I can do almost everything with it,the hand grips allows me to hit the muscle from different angles. I would highly recommend i
A little for my space but with the multiple attachment points, I can vary my workout when needed.
Not going to the gym these days for a number of reasons, I have switched to training at home using resistance bands.
For some of the exercises I’m performing with resistance bands would be done better with a bar and since the bands I have are from bodylastics I got hold of their Resistance Bands Curl Bar.
There are other bars available, but this one is in a different league and worth the extra you have to pay for it as the exercises performed with it are much more effective.
Note: To order it I had to go to Amazon US to get it at the time.
LOVE THE GRIP HANDLE I REALY FEEL THE MOTION IN MY ARMS, TO ME THERE’S NO LIMIT TO WHAT I CAN DO WITH THIS
Been working out from home for a while. I wanted a bar to go with my resistance bands. I researched a lot and most reviews for other products say they bend or break on the middle. I found this one and I am so glad I got it. It is real sturdy and the variety of hand placements is awesome. I use it for chest, back, and arms. It does not bend or warp at all while using it and I have put up to 200 lbs. resistance on it. The other cool feature is there are rotating rings on the end of the bar and also in the middle which allows for a different type of resistance depending on what exercise you are doing.
Easy to put together and useful for many exercises with bands. Good for isolation of bicep and triceps. Feels nice and sturdy with a good grip. Very good quality.
Despite competitive products costing less, the Bodylastics bar is as well constructed as their other products and has held up to weekly use. It definitely adds a better feel and variety to certain exercises opposed to using just handles and straps alone.
I don’t know if this is a good thing but I have a vein popping out on my right bicep thanks to this damn thing. I always get sore. Idk my back looks muscley and I keep having to increase the resistance.
Haven’t had it long – Its easy to put together and while it appears sturdy, you dont want to be dropping it on the floor it can damage the locking mechanism – its substantial and one of the best features is its versatility, it has three points to attach resistance bands.
AWESOME!
It took my training to another level.
Sturdy, ergonomically designed, beautifully crafted.
I am usually very picky and trust me, I cannot praise enough the designers of this effective masterpiece.
A must have.
I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of this piece. It’s very nice. Highly recommend.
This is the perfect accessory for bands and any workout!
I think for tube bands and associated accessories bodylastics is top shelf, the gold standard. This particular product does all it says.
This bar has many areas on the bar for hand positioning. It’s grip is top notch. Best bar I ever bought for bands.
Good quality. Actually heavy and feels sturdy enough. Would have been perfect if there was a bit that is akin to flat bar but I guess it would have made the bar ridiculously long.
It works very well for presses. curls and tricep workouts. Easy to change the bands.
A must have if you own/use Bodylastics Bands! Build quality is Top Notch quality. Highly recommended for your fitness arsenal!!!
Takes a little getting used to if you are accustomed to free weights, but awesome once you figure it out. Seems very sturdy and the grip is quite comfortable. Easily hung on hook with your resistance bands for storage.
Really great quality bar I also love how you can stow it away when your not using it. Perfect fit when you want to put in a work out in a small office space just buy some resistance bands.
This workout bar is well made I’m incorporating it now into my resistance band movements this product is excellent I would encourage anyone to buy i
I lost track of how many bars I checked out before I found this one. It’s exactly as substantial and sturdy as it claims to be. And as a gym rat of more than 35 years, I know my way around equipment.
This is the real deal.
I love the fact that now I can use this as a curl bar/bench press just to name a few. This thing saves you time and space.
Hi all, I wrote the below review about six weeks ago, when my curl bar broke. Sometime after that I emailed the company explaining what happened and sending the pictures. They replied quickly, were absolutely horrified and stunned that this occurred, and said they had never heard of any other case of that happening before. They promptly shipped me an entirely new bar the moment they came back in stock. They did not ask me to send them the broken one. Great company, great product! All is forgiven!
Old review:
I got this just over 4 months ago, used it about twice a week since then, very gentle use, and yesterday one of the hooks came out of the end — the loop that you attach your bands to — it just slid out for no reason that I can detect, and if i put it back in, it just slides right out again. It seems like it is perhaps supposed to screw in and hold, but there is nothing remotely grabbing the screw. Am I really going to have to find a way to ship this giant thing back to the company to get it fixed or replaced? I don’t have the packaging anymore, after 4 months.
See the pictures — one side with the hook how it is supposed to be, and the other side without the hook.
Very disappointing.
Very sturdy and well designed. I have a bad wrist from breaking my arm several times as a kid, so the curves on this bar give me the perfect angles to do curls!
One thing to note: it is heavy, so if you’re starting out please be aware you may have to work up to it. But, it also means you can use less resistance. #wi
Nice product has taken my workouts to a new level!
This bar has been a great addition to my home gym using only exercise bands. The connector hooks are perfectly placed
This bar takes band workouts to a new level and expands you workouts. Its built so solid, and works flawlessly. breaks down for easy travel. worth every penny and I have no regrets on buying.
Approaching 75 years old and lifting weights to stay in shape was hard on my connective tissue, Got into bands and with the help of tools like this can do my favorite exercises. This is a super well made bar, actually the best I have found and I have several. Wish they would make a straight bar with the same quality.
well built, quality materials and feel. Very versatile and improves the usability of my resistance bands. Has very smooth rotating bearing at load point. Great value!
In addition to the intended uses, I also incorporated in TRX training by using the bar in place of a TRX Rip Trainer.
It makes your workout better, it helps isolating the muscle better than the handles. Is the perfect pc of equipment to go with the bands. Once you get one it will be difficult to go back to the handles.
Works well with the bodylastic system/well designed..sturdy and durable
I have a large collection of Bodylastic Resistance Bands, they are more dollars but you definetly get what you for with Bodyastic. Probably waited 2 months + on backorder before Bodylastic sent me an email and said it was in stock. Very Sturdy and love all the angles. I have seen other curl bars for resistance bands for twice the money and are half the product of this curl bar!
The bar is of very high quality material and will take the toughest beating. The way the bar curls is very similar to the ones you would find in a gym, hence, are very useful for certain exercises like bicep curls and tricep extension exercises. Not so convenient if you want to emulate exercises like a heavy loaded bench press because the grip would not be as comfortable as a straight bar. But still usable for a lighter load press. The rotating rings at the ends and centre are very well positioned and usable. Another thing is the weight and diameter of the bar may not be comfortable unless you are a large woman/man. It is quite heavy to manoeuvre easily e.g. when changing/adding bands when the bar is hanging from a door mount. The large grip required may also be a hindrance to people with smaller hands as it may make it harder to keep to form. All this would not be an issue for a bigger person. Overall, very happy with the purchase but need to be realistic with some minor limitations.
An excellent bar when using together with bands or with your home functional training machine!
This is a great bar for band workouts. It’s well built and I don’t have to worry about it breaking when I load it up with bands on each end. It has a center ring for band hook-up I use it for wide grip rows and other body parts. Again this is a good buy if you load up heavy band’s for workouts.
I really like this bar for my elastic bands. Can do curls, triceps and lats. This is an excellent product and I have no complaints at all.
This bar take resistance band workouts to a new level. I use it for bicep curls, deadlifts And over head press.
This bar sturdy and should last, after all it’s made for bands not weights.
It is expensive but in the long run if you do a lot of exercises with bands you will use it for some better results.
Great curl bar add on for any resistance band set. Very sturdy and comfortable multiple grips. I’m a personal trainer and been doing in home training since Covid-19 started so this is a very versatile piece of equipment for me
This is a well made EZ bar..very sturdy. It’s a must if you’re a band lover like myself. Nothing out there really like i
I have the bodylastics bands and the addition of the curl bar is fantastic. I’m able to have much more “gym style” workouts at home.
Exactly what I was missing from my Bodylastics bands set! Super comfortable, very versatile and has a great feel while being used. The bar is also strong and has just enough weight to feel great while using it. Great for curls (hence the name) but also great for band chest-presses (i.e. benchpress) and it’s also quite comfortable across the shoulders on my back when using it for squats. Overall, amazing product, great price (seriously) and incredible quality. I love this company, the products are top-notch and Blake seems like a great guy all around — happy customer here 🙂
The product is exactly as everyone with a positive review has stated. I’ve had mine almost two months and I love it.
This curl bar exceeded my expectations. Although I have been very pleased with all of the products I’ve purchased from Bodylastics, I wasn’t sure if it’s ability to break down for travel was going to compromise the quality and design. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package found that Bodylastics proved me wrong. This is a Great curl bar.
Heavy duty construction (precise machining) combined with high quality rubber grip. The middle connection is a nice option…breaks down for travel too. My elbow has been misbehaving, so using my straight bar for curls is a no go. I’m glad I chose this product. Highly recommend.
I had to wait for this curl bar to come back in stock, so in the meantime I bought a GoFit curl bar to use.
There is a world of difference between the two products and this Bodylastics Curl bar wins out buy a mile!
Here are the areas that I have taken notice of :
STURDINESS: this is unparalleled. this bar is thick and strong, the end loops are welded on nice and strong.
PADDING: the padding extends across 90% of the bar, minus the middle joint where the bar splits for compance storage
STORAGE: The bar splits in 2 pieces for “compact” storage. It’s still long just less-long. Included in the purchase is also a nice strong nylon bag to store the bar in.
USEFULNESS: I use this bar with my complete set of resistance bands, they go all the way up to 100lbs resistance. I use it as a curl bar and pull-down bar. It works great for both uses and has actually improved my form for both movements. the curly design of the bar is great for ergonomic and your handle rest naturally in place.
OVERALL: If you have a set of resistance bands this bar is a no-brainer. I love this thing and look forward to many many arm workouts with it. I highly recommend it.
This is a very sturdy bar that collapses into 2 parts. Combined it is 45 inches long. When taken apart, the longest one is 25 inches. It goes together in seconds. I really like the 3rd attachment point in the center of the bar. This one really makes it useful. An un-stretched Bodylastics band is about 54 inches long. When connected to the ends there is only 9 inches of slack. You need to really overstretch the band to get a full range of motion. Connected to the center point you now have about 25 inches of slack after stepping on the band or putting it through an anchor. In order to use the ends, I think you need 2 sets of bands so you can use identical ones on each end going to anchor points.
The other issue I have is that almost the entire bar is wavy. There is no true supinated or pronated hand position option like you would find on a normal weight bar that comes naturally. Your hands are almost always turned into a half neutral grip. There are two ways to do a supinated or pronated grip. The first is to hold the bar in a tilted position, which does not give you a good feeling grip on the bar. The second is to grip the bar in the very center, the only place it is straight. This leaves my hands too close together for a good exercise. I wish the bar had a longer straight section (about 3 inches on each side) in the middle and one less curve on the ends.
Bottom line, this is a very sturdy bar, collapses for storage and travel, and seems to be very well made. A few minor changes and I would give it 5 stars.
This piece is heavy enough to work out on its own! I really like the shape and the sturdiness. It has so many grip options and I feel supported in my movements. So happy I got one.
The bar is well made and hefty. It makes resistant band training even more versatile and adds a feel reminiscent of weight lifting. You can approximate a lot of the things you do with this bar using the Bodylastic grips, but with the bar it seems like you can engage more core and come closer to approximating weight workouts. Glad to have it.
The only improvement this needs is the ends should be straight. There needs to be straight handles on the ends. The middle should only have the curves for assorted grips. But when using a wide grip the handle is uncomfortable and isn’t ideal.
Love this thing. Has continued to expand my home strength workouts with my bodylastics bands. Works great. Easy to assemble, take apart, and store. Multiple groups. Right now using for barbell type curls triceps press downs. Both standing and lying chest presses, wide and narrow grip lat pull downs. Will be expanding my repertoire with it in the coming weeks.
As a city dweller, unfortunately, I don’t have the luxury of space to set up a full-blown home gym (weight rack, squat rack, bench press rack… etc.), since COVID changed the reality of working out. Fortunately, there’s the combo of my living room + resistance bands + this curved bar!! Think resistance bands can’t give you a good workout? Think again. This curved bar definitely amped up my band workouts (it blasted my biceps + forearms this morning). Solid built. Space saver. Absolutely love it, 10/10 recommend.
Quality product! Sturdy and easy to assemble. Took it for a test run right away and wasn’t disappointed. Contoured rubber provide a secure and comfortable grip. Curls, pulldowns. And modified pull-ups are comfortable and simulate what can be achieved in a gym.
Only downfall is some of the other bands do not fit the bar and due to COVID Bodylastic bands have not been available for months. Not getting as much use out of it as I could be. The Bodylastics door anchor system is AMAZING! Good products.
The bar is super sturdy and I find a use for it in just about every workout. Doing curls and lat pull downs feel much different than using separate handles. The ability to load up the weight is incredible and the fact that it can be broken down to travel size is even better. If you’re a band fan, you’ll love this bar.
Good design and well constructed. Only had it for a bit but so far so good. Also I find works well in the GYM and easy store and carry to the GYM as well.
I was a little off put at the cost of the bar itself, however it is very well made and exceeded my expectations. The bar has excellent grip and not i can get more out of my bands!
This is an amazing piece of equipment for working out. I have a full gym in my shop, but going through the “rona” and not wanting or having the energy, to walk to the shop, this is perfect. I have been working out for 30 years and this is the single most Important piece of equipment, I have found. I HIGHLY recommend. No they haven’t anythinged me. For a hundred bucks you can have it all. Get goodnheavy bands and this bar, and get after it! Bodylastics you all need to get more made!
I bought this to supplement my Home Gym, I use it primarily with Bands that I hang/wrap from pull up bar on my Rogue Fold Back Rack system. I put a carabiner on the middle loop of the bar, and attach that to whatever resistance band I need. Use it for lat pulldowns, tricep pushdowns, etc. Thus far, I’m very pleased with the bar, it’s allowing me to simulate having a LAT Tower or similar equipment.
So much more than a curl bar. Deadlifts, Squats, Pull downs, Rows, the list goes on and on. I had two elbow surgeries within a 6 month span last year that limited my workouts. The Curl bar made it possible for me to load up on my squats again. Another A+++ product from Blake
Good bar. Not significantly different from the xbar which I already own .
If I had known I wouldn’t have done it.
But for the new user this bar is good.
Great addition to my travelling gym collection. Splits in the centre and packs nicely into a standard hold luggage bag.
Received this today and immediately worked out with it. Cannot believe the difference between this and the standard straight bar I was using . My old bar was okay, this is absolutely perfect. The angles position your hands to maximize your workout. Really feeling the results like never before! The first thing you will notice about this bar is a how solid it is and how much it weighs. There has obviously been a tremendous amount of planning and investment to get this to us. So appreciate what the folks at Bodylastics have made available with this bar. If you use resistance bands you have to get one! Will be glad you did.
This is a legit and well-done product. I’ve had several home gyms with pulldown bars over the years. None of mine or the ones at countless fitness centers and gyms have been as well thought out and as comfortable as this one. The attachment points on the ends are key if you use resistance bands instead of a cable machine. I’m extremely happy with this purchase.
I was very surprised at the difference this made in doing my curls. I’m pretty sure I can figure out other applications for this bar, but in my opinion, that alone was worth the price of admission.
Great product, well worth the price. I use it for bicep curls, tricep push downs (band looped on overhead bar), and bench press. Great for arms, you’ll get some of the best resistance band workouts with this bar.
This bar is extremely helpful especially if you want to target multiple muscles in one sitting. Only note I want to share is that little chain that holds 2 pieces together when disconnected broke on the first day. It doesn’t affect the bar and its purpose but was caught off guard by how weak it was. Regardless I don’t regret my decision.
Long time resistance band user. Better on the joints. First impression, wow is this thing built solid. I feel like it is almost over engineered and not in a bad way. Like I can tow a truck with it. As far as using it during exercises, it is a game changer for me. I used to use handles attached to the bands and I feel like this bar keeps me in proper form. The grips feel great. The fact that you can break it down for travel is a bonus. No complaints. Another quality product from Bodylastics.
Yet again, bodylastics comes up with a top trumps of kit to add to your exercises. It is great for bicep curls, tricep pulldown/extension, chest press, rows, lat pulldown & many others. It gives each of the exercises mentioned above an extra added oomph.
I have been using Bodylastic bands along with their online workout for ten years now and have never had an issue with the product quality or suffered a workout injury for that matter. The curl bar is well designed and is made to the high quality I have come to expect from their products. The rings on the ends swivel which prevents the bands from twisting or getting caught up. Nice grips on the bar and a pleasure to use. Highly recommend this product. It has taken my band workout to a new level.
This is the best Curl Bar I have ever used… And if you after looking to take your band workouts to a while new level this is the piece of equipment you’ve been waiting for…. This will DEFINITELY take you pay your limits you have right now… With increased correct form and hitting the muscles in ways you’ve not been hitting them before…. This will be the best money you’ve spent in an “attachment” for your workouts….I recommend this to each and everyone thinking about buying one…. The thinking is over…. BUY IT!!!!
Excellent quality. It is obvious that this was designed by an expert, especially one who knows band training. If you want to bump up your band training this is how you do it. I have spent hundreds of dollars over the years on exercise equipment; hands down my best purchases have been from Bodylastics.
I buy tons of things on Amazon, but almost never write a review. I made an exception today when this new curl bar arrived. I have gone to mostly band training because my old body is pretty well used up, and the bands allow me to minimize joint pain but I have missed curl bar exercises, no more! This is a serious bar that feels fantastic in your hands and is built to last. If you like to work out using bands you must buy one of these, DO IT NOW.
