Swing Set for Home & Outdoor | Easy Setup for Strength, Balance & Back Pain Relief | Adjustable Straps & 600lb Capacity, Includes Carrying Bag & Online Tutorials

The media could not be loaded. The reason I bought this in the first place is, well, they have this unbelievable deal of try for $1 and return if you don't like it. The price back then was $99 and it hasn't changed much since then. Sure upgrades cost more but there is no price gouging. The reason I that I kept it was because my back hurt back then and this took up little realty in our apartment. I hung it on the "pull up" bar for my inversion boots; those boots were impossible to get tight enough and to get my feet over the bar; comical really. That bar was anchored into the studs so I felt like it was the safest thing we had at the time. Plus I knew that they weight tested every trapeze to withstand over 600 pounds. Going upside-down, I want my noggin to be safe. The other no brainer is their 10 year warrantee!! a pretty easy no brainer.Trying it for the first time I was dizzy and, I am not gonna lie, some positions hurt where the straps cut into my leg. Using the trapeze over time, My hips opened up more and the discomfort went away. Now, it is very nice to hang upside down. Sometimes I will stay fifteen minutes upside-down, writing emails or reading the paper. At first I would only do 30 seconds. I learned that the sling material shouldn't be too high up your back but it should cover an area of boy shorts or boxer briefs. That helps the discomfort as well.I know that I can only use one at a time but having two trapezes will allow my partner and I to have our setups permanently hung at our heights. Spoiled, I know. Plus they have made some nice improvements. I will go over them in a video. Noteworthy: The daisy chain straps have two different sized end loops at either end so make sure that you put both straps on the same way so that they and the handles will be the same height. The carabiners (now 2 instead of 4, so no clanking sounds) are sharp so make sure that they don't catch the material when you close them. One of my carabiners is stiff and sometimes doesn't self close, I just have to be vigilant in checking my trapeze before use and make sure that it closed. Once closed, it stays closed. The handles are more sturdy and less spongy/ less porous making the new handles easier to clean and disinfect. I'm not sure if it is the material or the handles on the new trapeze but there is a smell when you first open the box. The new material seems slightly more slippery than the old. Nothing of concern, more of a feel. You can take the metal off of both the old and new trapeze and wash them in cold water with vinegar. You cannot leave them to dry in the sun or use the dryer. I haven't tried that yet.Even thought there weren't any yoga trapeze classes back then, it was a great tool to gain some spinal space, hangin upside down; which is still my favorite thing to do. Now I am working on upper back strength and shoulder support. especially since I spend more time working at the computer at home. My shoulders do feel better and I am sitting and standing taller due to those workouts . The upper body workout on the trapeze is the only thing that I have changed. There are tutorials on the website now and you tube videos; but I look forward to the day when there is some sort of directory to find a "yoga trapeze instructor near you". I think that I would use it even more often if there were.

The media could not be loaded. Really like this tool!! I call it a tool because I think is a great addition to your daily stretches , yoga practice, etc.. I’m a certified yoga teacher and I can tell you that the way you stretch your body with this tool is FANTASTIC! You can get deeper stretches. I just got it so I will post un updated review once I actually do an entire class .. I’m looking forward to it .. I can feel relief in back and hips already just by doing the tutorial videos . My 10 year old went ahead and tried it with the Superman pose .. he absolutely loved it .. the material is very solid, is a parachute fabric . It was very easy to put up; my husband did all the work ! .. so I will say if you don’t know how to find the beam on the ceiling or just not too familiar with drills, definitely look for profesional help; you NEED TO MAKE SURE it gets install properly so is safe for you to use .. other than that is a great product that I will be using daily in my practice ..

I took an aerial class in San Diego but since moved and my new area doesn't have a place for aerial yoga. So I started looking and googling my options. I went back and forth between this trapeze and a regular silk. I ended up going with this trapeze because of the handles; it gives you the ability to do more than just yoga. I watched quite a few youtube videos showing off how they were using the trapeze and was quite impressed.The trapeze was easy to set up (OK, I enlisted my neighbor's help to hang it up in the garage). But it really only took about 20 minutes. I bought the ikea suspension hooks everyone recommended and then got 4 - 3in hex screws and bolted to studs in the garage. I also bought the interlocking mats for a little bit of cushion beneath me.I also purchased the videos that YOGABODY sells on their website and they are excellent! So hopeful and I love the flows! Right now I just stream them on my iPad, but I believe you can download them or purchase a DVD. Eventually I will put a TV in the garage so it's a little easier to see but it's a work in progress.Anyway, back to the trapeze. I feel safe while inverted and can deepen my stretches more so than traditional yoga. Being inverted feels AMAZING on my back and I definitely feel a sense of calmness after hanging around upside down. I even had my 6'0, 195lb boyfriend try it out. The trapeze handled him like a pro and with a little guidance, he was able to flip upside down as well.Overall, I would highly recommend this trapeze.

This was one of the better reviewed aerial yoga setups on Amazon, and looked to have good quality parts for mounting. After receiving it and setting it up, I definitely trust the sturdiness of it but I am used to the long silks at the yoga studios I have been to. This is my first time using a hammock that wasn't 'silk' and therefore it doesn't stretch, which is nice, but also means it has more 'bite' to it for poses. My only complaint is this isn't as long as I would like it to be, I cannot do coffin pose or vampire given the length- as such, I have now purchases a separate silk for those poses specifically and for relaxing hammock time. I'm a little out of practice with aerial right now, so the 'bite' won't bother me for much longer, I just would like a bigger hammock offered of this material since the sturdiness and no stretch aspect is a huge plus. Oh, and unlike 'silks' this fabric is certainly not going to rip on you from wearing a ring or something so I expect it to be with me for a long time.
