I bought this item last week, yes it's cheap but you can't use it. It's unsafe to do a wide grip with, it will cut your hand if you are putting the bar back.

What dumbells?
I never got the dumbells because Walmart lost or damaged them in transit. I ordered them online and waited waited. I finally got a email saying I was being issued a refund to my cc and that, if I wanted them again to go to the Walmart website and order them again! Yeah right! I went right to Amazon.com.\nAfter reading about 20 reviews I decided to hold off on the dumbells. Seems that they are fragile and prone to breakage. Maybe Walmart did me a favor?
Kate and I bought the Gold's Gym Utility Bench to complete our workout room after we bought the Nordic track elliptical 990 Pro (incidentally they both are made by the same company - ICON Health & Fitness, Inc.). Both are incredibly well designed and solidly built. Had one minor issue putting the bench together. One of the four screw bolts that holds the adjustable, padded back rest just spun around and wouldn't tighten. I called ICON Service and they sent me a new one in 4 days - wonderful customer service.\nWe highly recommend this product.
I didn't catch it until I after ordered the set but the bar is two separate pieces which is fine long enough you tap over the pins to keep them in place as they don't have a to lock the pins in. Otherwise a good price for a nice starter set.
Wow nice comfortable bar that holds the weights. Most bars tend to slip the weights right off without clamps.. They include clamps but better yet made it where the weights don't shift but easily slide on! Also was skeptical about three piece bar. Its easily put together and firm as steel... I like it better then the regular bar because I use the middle bulge as extra guide for hand placement.
This fitness hoop is pretty good. Had to learn to hoop again because its been so long but it came back easy. Its been almost a week and I am now up to around 8 minutes by choice. I try not to over do it because I got really sore at first. Moving up to 12 minutes next week and then increasing from then on. Its obviously a big hoop, no reason for you to knock over furniture, find a spacious area.
I purchased this Abdonimal Trainer to begin exercising my abdominal muscles. I am a beginner with exercising and weight training and wanted something to use at home. I suffer from lower back problems and this helps with that. In addition, I have difficulty keeping my lower back on the floor and the roller pads help.\n\nHowever, the Resistance Springs range from low, medium, and high strengths. I have started at the high level because the other two aren't firm at all. Yet, I do feel the effects in my core (100 crunches) a day, for six days. I feel I will probably see results within two to three months. Once I've achieved that, then I will move on to the gym and utilize more developed equipment.\n\nThis is good for beginners only.

The weights were a good purchase. This review is really about walmart service. I purchased this site to store. I have made about 4 site to store purchases and half the time it is difficult to work with the store that the product is being sent to. These were weights so, they are heavy, but not more than 50lbs. The store clerk kept complaining about having t lift them, be cause his back hurt. I offered repeatedly that I would get them for him, but he wouldn't answer me. He said that he was going to have to unpack the item and take the product out piece by piece in order to carry them.(did I mention it was only 50 lb.s or that I am 55 and the clerk was in his 20's) It is always something with our local walmart that I don't find at other walmarts

A must have tool for your workout routine
PROS: I've used this chin up bar for about 4 - 5 years now, and love it. It is cheap, light, and installs in about 10 seconds. I put it up to workout, then take it down and throw it in the corner. when it comes to working out, if it isn't easy\/convenient, it doesn't get used. For me because I am older (52), i use a chair under me to assist me to do the chin ups. I tried without a chair and got a rotator cuff tear. But... this type of workout is so important to get the lat's that using a chair\/stool is so easy and allows me to do 3x as many pull ups, using my legs too, that you get a great burn.\n\nCONS: the black foam on the bar that touches the doorjam will mark up the paint, so I recommend that you put clear tape over the black foam, that way no marks on the doorjam.
This is such a great deal, inexpensive but not cheaply made. Great for p90x and other fitness programs. As well as adding it into your cardio routine. I'm 6'3 and 230 pounds and these things hold up just fine for a guy my height. I'd buy these again if I ever lost them and walmart shipped them the very next day. Incredible value, if you're looking for resistance bands look no further for you have found them.
This wheel was definitely what I was looking for. It was very sturdy and worked great on my abs. I generally was so sore the first time I used it and recovered in a few days, but the affect gave me a major improvement. Just use it every other day at least 10x or more and you will start seeing a major change in you body shape.
Love the weights but as other people said the stand is cheapy plastic but for the price I guess its not surprising. Only bad thing I would say is it looked like it maybe was used then returned only because there was some dirt spots but maybe that's from manufacturing or something. Would still recommend
