What brand and size ballet bar do you recommend? What bar do they use on the video?

Same here, no ballet barre.... but I use the seat of a counter height bar stool.

I'm not sure of the size and brand of the ballet bar. I use a sturdy chair which works well.

I've just used a chair with this set and it has worked out fine. In the intro they do not mention the type or size ballet bars they use.

2" standard Olympic bar. Little snug but graphite or grease took care of it for me.

The girls in the video use a 7pounder. I use 8 pounds for one video and 12 for another. Depends on what you're comfortable with.

we used a full size Olympic bar. I don't think the 6' bar will fit because of the width of the bar stands. Hope that helps.

Wrap a 25 pound weight plate in a towel and put on the glide board with you when you workout. Also check you tube there is guy who added a weight bar to an older total gym glide board. The same thing might be possible on the Weider TB 5000. You can use the resistant bands also.

Except for the yoga (because I need to learn yoga positions) other two videos are great. IF you are thinking about kettlebell, I would for sure try brook benton.

im torn between them as well. was going for the bar32 because the listed price was higher so assumed better quality but i've been to the DeLonghi website and they are both for $99. so i wonder where did that $210 came from? lol . but i think im still going for the BAR32 though.. just like it better i guess...

Hey, sorry for the late response. None of the models in the video are of a bigger size. However, I do think this is a great DVD for some around 180. My friend is around 180-200lbs and she is currently doing the Classic Solution. Nothing in the series is completely out there for anyone of bigger size.

it's a ballet barre for work on technique, it wouldn't be suitable or safe for hanging or bar work in gymnastics

I would suggest getting the Gymnastics Expandable Junior Training BarZ-Athletic (17)It can hold more weight and your child can use it longer. If she is 95 lbs, she may only get to use it for another year before she outgrows it. My daughter is 7 and so she has some time. I am sure that I will buy the bar above when she is 10 or 11. Good luck!

No, this is a ballet barre. I think you are needing what is called a gymnastics trainer bar or Kip Bar.

And if u already bought this bar, and not the Elite version, go to the manufacturers website (I believe trapeze rigging) and they can help u out. I think u can buy the stability crossbar separately. Well worth getting.

Hi, this fluidity bar is a beautiful piece of equipment.I ended up selling mine on Ebay. I have several herniated disc in my back and the small motions that you have to hold really aggravated my back and neck. I also hated that a majority of the work out DVD was done on the matt and basically a modified sit up and nothing to do with the barre. If you think you would use this to stretch or are creative enough to learn your own workout routines it might be worth the investment. As a side note. I ride a pedal bike and I am a dog walker but this work out I found to be just not for me and painful Hi, this fluidity bar is a beautiful piece of equipment.I ended up selling mine on Ebay.

I would agree that a 10x12 setup is best. I used my Backdrop Alley system successfully with this screen.

I have a 12,18, 24. I am male, almost 40. My main target when buying was for my shoulders. I love all of them! I use the 24 for my arms and shoulders, and it's a heavier 24 pounder that it sounds like! I can do lunges/squats with it as well. I also like my 18. It is almost the perfect all-around multi-use bar. Not too heavy, yet just stout enough to get toned-up nicely without hurting yourself! I like incorporating this bar into some sit-ups also. Great toning bar I like my 12 to take for a walk around the block and use it similar to an aerobic-class device. Great for sculpting arms, shoulders and abs as I walk the dog. For you, try something in the 16-20 pound range. You can always work your way up or down from there. Eventually you may have several as I do. I started at the 24, then got the 18, and then the 12. Remember the heavier you get, the fewer rep's you will feel like doing. So if you want the aerobic/cardio aspect of your exercising , you will feel like pumping out more rep's with a lighter bar
