GRAVITY FITNESSDip Bars XL - Heavy-duty Parallettes for Calisthenics, Home Gym & Commercial Use - Adjustable 38mm Handles for Dips, Levers, Strength Training, and Gymnastics Training

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 hands2. 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 showAny questions, just ask!

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 themThis 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: 2022-08-02Turns out I'm a lazy bugger.Not in shape.But these are still ace.

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.

The media could not be loaded. Excellent, useful, solid, sturdy, easy to assemble very reliable exercise equipment

Perfect, very strong and sturdy and should last. very easy to put together, less than 10minutes with a basic 8" wrenchim 5,10 and can easily dip and now trying to do more advance stuffI 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 themedit: 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

Excellent product fit for effective workout very stable.
