Here is my story about why I must have a SoloStrength.
First of all, I own the Iron Gym doorway pull-up bar, the PerfectPullup doorway bar, and a Functional Cross Trainer (dual cable weight machine). I use all of these.
Then I discovered SoloStrength. I cannot tell you how long I have been looking for something like this! As a gymnast and dancer this is the ultimate machine! Why? Because you can adjust the bar at about a zillion different heights to do the same exercises and stretches you do in gymnastics. For example, put the bar low, kick up into a handstand and do handstand push-ups - use the sides for balance! Put the bar at about the height of your waist and scoot under it and push yourself down into the splits. Now you can reach back for the bar and stretch into a “ring leap” position (where your hands touch your back foot). There are thousands of things I will be able to do with the SoloStrength. Thousands? Yes, because I will use other accessories like a my exercise ball, bosuball, rings (gymnastic like rings), the PerfectPullup swivel handles, stretching bands, etc. to do some extreme stretching and exercises But, the most important reason I must own a SoloStrength is for my children, Daniel (6 years old), and Dana (4 years old). Because I can adjust the height to fit their size, they too will be able to do everything that I can do with SoloStrength (with my help of course for some things).
The PerfectPullup is nice, but you have to permanently attach it to your doorway – which is not very pretty - and if your doorway is not perfectly square (which the majority are not) then it can damage your door when you swing it down. The other thing is you have to put is so high that when you do a pullup your head goes above the top of the door – it’s just not pleasant having to worry about hitting your face on the door. You can swing the bar down into a lower position but it does not lock into place so it’s like a trapeze. You cannot do as many exercises on a swinging bar. This is the same reason I cannot use the horizontal bar on my Functional Cross Trainer for many exercises – it swings, rotates (rolls), and moves left and right.
The Iron Gym is great because you can remove it from your doorway and you don’t hit your face on the door when you do a pullup. However, you cannot close your door with it installed, and when you take it down, make sure you have a convenient place to put it so you and your family don’t trip over it.
Investing in a SoloStrength is investing not only in my health but my children’s health!!
