VITA Barre Portable Freestanding Double Ballet Barre, Prodigy, Aluminum | Adjustable Height, USA Made, Home or Gym Exercise Equipment for Kids & Adults | Dance, Fitness, Pilates

After recent major health problems and having 7 new meds, half of which caused major weight gain, I needed something to get me moving. I gained 65 lbs in 5 months and have to be on these meds for at least a year. My specialist suggested yoga, but I'm not s fan. I thought it was a great idea to use ballet as my go-to exercise. The Dr agreed using the term "unique". Lol I took ballet as a kid for 7 years ago and I still know the basics. YouTube helped refresh my memory, too.The Barre was easy to put together and the height of the bars are easily adjustable.For an "average person" or child, the sturdiness would be fine. For a bigger person (well over 200 lbs), it's fine for basic ballet movements and positions. But anything more, you may feel a little give.For stability, this where it's really lacking. The Barre moves on my hardwood floors too easily. I can see how trying to do a simple stretch with ankle on the top barre could make it move and you'd inadvertently end up in an unwanted split with your tush on the floor. Again, an average person or child may be fine, but us rounder girls need to be aware. I think I'll have my hubs McGyver something for me.All in all, what I wanted, decent quality and would buy again!

This is an excellent barre for ballet practice: light, portable construction and great functionality. I especially like the fact that all parts are replaceable and available easily, and modular design means it can be upgraded to a different length (4, 5, 6 ft) or feel (metal, wood). And, it is made in USA and with 10 years warranty!I am 135lb and 5'6, and I am going to upgrade it to 5 ft length, to accommodate leg stretches better. I am also going to upgrade to wood crossbars: I did not think of it at the time of purchase, but my hands do get chilly staying in contact with metal during colder months.Regarding stability and sturdiness: there are a lot of conflicting comments among reviewers about this. Here are my two thoughts.1) Sturdiness: this barre is made primarily for ballet use: in ballet, you are supposed to hold your own weight, using barre only for balance. It is not meant for pulling sideways, or hanging off if. (Vita Vibe has fitness barre that is more suitable for those workouts). That being said, I am able to put all my entire weight down on this barre, either hanging off this barre below (as in callanetics workout) or pressing on it from the top in a downward motion--and it holds me just fine.2) Stability: because this is an adjustable barre, there are no "marks" on the crossbars that identify places for setting the bars. So when you assemble the barre, you are the person who determines their level and positioning. If the crossbars are not leveled and align just so, the barre will wobble. I used measuring tape and a level to align everything, and it stands nice and strong. Finally, double barre (as opposed to single ones) are a bit more stable.Last note: Vita Vibe's customer service is amazing. I asked a question, and a seller responded within 24 hours. I also called them directly with a question, and they were very helpful and nice. I am very glad to recommend this barre to others.

I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the Vita Vibe Prodigy ballet bar. For starters, I appreciate that this ballet bar was made here in the U.S.A. and the quality definitely shows. The bar was packaged carefully, all of the pieces were present and the instructions were clear. The bar was very easy to assemble--no tools were required. I had it completely assembled by myself in ten minutes. Because the height of each of the bars is completely up to the user, I used a measuring tape in order to make sure that each cross bar was perfectly horizontal, though someone could certainly eyeball it. Please note that it is extremely important to tighten the components completely in order to have maximum stability--if you do this, the bar is just perfect for ballet bar exercises! Highly recommend!

Nice price, easy to put together. Would buy the one a bit heavier - really light

This ballet barre was super easy to put together and has already gotten a lot of use so I would venture to say, that it is durable as well. My daughters and I use it daily to practice plies and arabesques. I use it for balance while stretching. I have invested a lot of money into my daughter's ballet instruction and adding this onto the bill just makes sense. She has been using it daily and her form has improved greatly. We also got some ballet instructional dvds and those have helped as well. My living room now looks like a ballet studio but I could care less. I actually think it looks nice. Our lives are very much oriented around ballet so it is fine with me-ballet has enriched my life immensely.

I am a fitness instructorwith and I bought this to teach my barre class since I cannot mount one in the studio. This works great! 4 people, 2 on each side, can train at one time. The bar is sturdy and has a nice smooth feel. I like the ease of putting it together, the adjustable knobs for tightening and the double bar feature. I like that it is light so I can move it around, although during class we weight it at the bottom so it doesnt move or shift as we train. Great piece of equipment overall!

Very nice and sturdy! I teach classical ballet and use this for smaller classes. The younger students can feel secure with this (though we don't lean heavily on it, as that is a ballet no-no) ;) but it's strong enough they could lean on it if they needed to.it's very easy to adjust and fairly portable, though I did have it fall out of the back of my truck (lesson learned: lay it down in the truck bed) ^_^ It had a few dings from that experience, but still usable--a testament to durability! :'D

Purchased this product for my daughter's 12th birthday during the first quarantine lockdown when her dance studio was forced to close in-person classes. It is absolutely perfect!! It's lightweight and sturdy design make it easy to move around and very safe to use. The assembly was quick and easy too. This is definitely worth the investment. We couldn't be happier with it!

Las partes que componen este producto, son de muy buena calidad y fácil de armar.

持ち運びしやすいというのと見た目がスッキリとしているのでこちらを購入しました。安定感はそれなりにありますお値段しますが、満足しています。さっと仕舞って持ち運ぶという感じではないので☆マイナス1。

Fácil instalación llegoen tiempo y forma. Muy buena calidad de los materiales muy ligera fácil de mover de lugar.

I love my ballet barre. I bring it and leave it at work to use in the gym there. It is easy to assemble and take down. I find it sturdy enough for Ballet Body and P57 workouts. You are not supposed to be putting too much weight on it when doing those exercises anyway. I also have the fitness version of this barre that does offer more stability but had to order from the U.S. I'm glad these are available in Canada now directly.Great Barre for great workouts.
