Gravity Fitness Parallettes, Dip Bars - XL for Calisthenics Home & Gym

Good quality, well made and easy to put together. Not the cheapest but at the maximum height they are higher than a lot of others. The diameter of the bars is just right and I have suffered no wobble.

Absolutely fantastic Parallette bars. Where do i begin? For the price of £39.99 which they were going for when i bought them, you really can't go wrong. I toyed with the idea of making my own beforehand for a few weeks and eventually came to the conclusion that this is the best option really. You get a lifetime guarantee with gravity fitness, they're solidly built, lightweight and easy to put up. Honestly, an awesome investment and worth paying for. I chose to go through amazon because of the free delivery whereas on the official website the price is the same but you need to pay for delivery. They also arrived like 2 days later too so an excellent service. In regards to the bars themselves, they're a nice height (about hip height on me, i'm 5' .6'') and make it easy to start off working with exercises like leg raises, dips, invert push ups, etc. They're relatively lightweight and don't take up a huge amount of room. They're aesthetically pleasing (a nice matte black) and sturdy. I haven't had any issues with any movement whatsoever while I've been swinging around on them and my housemate also had a play and i'm 77kg, he's 92kg. The only points i'd suggest noting really before considering these options are; 1. The bars are a little small in diameter so at first they're a little awkward to get used to (feels like the handles should be slightly bigger - but could put tape around them to make them more comfortable) - They're very grippy and no issues with slipping, just a little thin on the hands 2. I can't fully outstretch my legs to the floor when hanging them for dips so definitely need to bend the legs (only really noticeable when changing from handstands to v-sits, have to tuck legs in rather than swing) (Also note, I've not seen any taller than these so it's not really an issue, just a note) Seriously though, all in all these are an absolute incredibly fantastic product and i'd recommend them to anyone. I will certainly be looking at the smaller ones in future when i'm a little stronger too. I'll upload some photos as soon as i can to show Any questions, just ask!

The product feels very sturdy and would be very easy to assemble were it not for some alignment issues with the holes for the bolt that clamps the top section and the feet together. This issue was overcome by winding the bolt through the hole instead of just being able to push it with a finger like with the well-aligned holes. Fortunately the threads on the bolt were undamaged by doing this. The amount of plastic packaging (although much of it is recyclable) is pretty depressing and the product could do without that.

Been eyeing something like these up for a while, to use instead of my outdoor pull up bar during the long, cold and wet Scottish winter months. First of all, delivery was prompt, a day earlier than predicted by Amazon's tracking. The product itself is extremely well packed, every part is individually wrapped and secured with cable ties. I can't remember seeing something so well packed before via mail order. The bars are indeed a nice matt black, slightly textured finish. Time to assemble was about 20 mins, "helped" by an enthusiastic 2 year old and a mad kitten. You'll need a 3/4 spanner for the nuts. The feet are solid, chunky affairs. You should feel pretty stable, unless you try using them on a laminate or similar surface. You'll want carpet, mat etc so they don't slide. Aside from that, they are perfect. You can do inverse rows and tricep push-ups with just the one parallette, obviously for dips and L-sits you'll need both. They are a good height. I have monkey arms, but was able to get full range of motion from the floor. Back levers are also possible (well, in my case, only the early stages of one). Unless you have freakishly long arms, you should be fine getting airborne. With dips you will need to bend your knees but that helps work the core so all good. I tried dips, l-sits, a very poor planche, inverse rows ( for you Convict Conditioners these are ideal for Step 2),a back lever and the aforementioned triceps skull crusher. All perfectly stable. I hate it when people review things they have only just bought ,but seriously, if I don't get back into shape , it's because I've been too lazy to use it. I cannot find fault with this. If you're on the fence, get off it, buy these, and start building some serious strength. Update 2017-01-09 : you can also hang gymnastic rings from these to make press-ups more challenging. Flys could also be incorporated, though you will have to experiment with the correct placement of the bars. Still loving them This is a portable gym, limited only by your own motivation and innovation, for a ridiculously cheap price. Considering the build quality and free delivery, this price is an absolute steal. Update: 2022-08-02 Turns out I'm a lazy bugger. Not in shape. But these are still ace.

Perfect, very strong and sturdy and should last. very easy to put together, less than 10minutes with a basic 8" wrench im 5,10 and can easily dip and now trying to do more advance stuff I am leaving in the garden all year so may just have to try stop water penetrating the screws but no big deal. Now i must start to get good with them edit: a week later and after all the sun we have had a lot of rain.. i leave these outside. slight rust colour on the bolts (no big deal) ill cover them in vaseline or something. but the main issue is one of the ends is not sealed correctly, as such water has entered and brown water is coming out. yes i shouldnt really leave out side, and prob wont all winter etc but ok for now... solution will have to be me sealing this end up. duct tape should do.... still 5 star though.. in garden every night, quick stop and do some dips and leg raises

Im not often impressed by an Amazon fitness purchase - but the quality oozes out of these bars - I had the other bars being sold on Amazon with the connecting rods that go between the feet but that caused a weird bowing in the middle - turns out the solution was just buy the ones that were fit for purpose to begin with. The Spanner and Allen key are beefy, even the bloody washers are double thicc. When attention to detail is in the little bits, you know the package as a whole will serve you. So solid, I know the only weak point now is me, not my equipment. Don't buy the other ones on Amazon, get these. On and you get a lifetime warranty, seller confidence in their product is reassuring.

So, I wanted these bars to kick-start my street gymnastics training, with my pull-up bar and other stuff. However, the bars I saw in the video (on Amazon's pics at the side of this item), were demonstrating a completely different set of bars (I later discovered), and it was THOSE bars I wanted :-) .. as they're longer, and more sturdier(?) than the shorter handled ones I received, which are slightly unstable at some points. The ones in the video also appear in the picture further down the page of this item on Amazon, so it's kind of mixed signals as to which one we'd get. I got the ones I did not want. :-( The bars the video have squarer shaped corners on the bars, are a few inches longer, and the bolts go into the top of the base feet, as opposed to the sides in the other shorter bars. As I bought these on Prime, I would have thought that (anything wrong with these) I could send them back P&P free... not so!! :-( I asked Amazon cs why I should pay the returns if I'd ordered on Prime... still awaiting their answer?! At the moment I am trying to contact Gravity (even though it was sent under a different name?!), to swap for the bars in the video. We'll see what happens.

Very well made, had to use hammer to get couple bolts through which did cut the bolt slightly but need to use the alan key and a spanner to make sure it is on tight or whichever tool you have to be sure of it, apart from that they are solid and when you are going for them handstands you feel confident enough to go for the movement, they are well balanced aswell aslong as they are on a good surface which is ideally flat, overall great addition to my home gym

La verdad es que buscaba un producto básico y por eso me decanté por estas barras, me llamo la atención el precio. Al llegar las monté, que se montan fácilmente con 4 tuercas y arandelas que ya vienen con el producto, y me quedé asombrado de lo robustas y estables que se veían. He acertado totalmente con este producto.

I'm about 200lbs. and it feels very sturdy, no wobble or give. It arrived on time with all parts. Very easy to assemble, only 4 bolts and ready to go! Definitely would recommend!

This review is my initial reaction and I will update in the longer term as I have experience using them. First impressions are very positive, they seem to be a well thought out and designed product and are built well with quality materials. They are certainly steady and solid and give confidence in use. As for some reviews saying they are unstable I can only imagine that the user is not practising controlled deliberate movement because it takes quite a bit of effort to get them to tilt and I don't see how this would happen with good technique. They look good and perform good. I positively recommend them and think for the price point they are a winner.

Tres stable, les bars sont tres resistantes. Je peux meme me lester, les barres ne se tordent pas. De plus les Barres ne sont pas tres grosses, idéale pour les mains. Tres bon rapport qualité prix, je recommande bien sur

Har använt dem i 3 veckor nu och övat var annan dag. Jag tycker att konstruktionen är genomtänkt - De står mycket stadigt, även på högsta höjden. Det är enkelt att justera höjden. Rören är lagom tjocka för ett få ett bekvämt och stadigt grepp, man kan lägga hela kroppstyngden på en länge tid utan obehag i händerna. Jag är mycket nöjd. Amazon var förvånansvärt snabba att leverera fram till dörren. Det var 14 dagars leveranstid och de levererades redan efter 5 dagar. Betalningen via månadsfaktura var enkel och korrekt.
