Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this so that I could practice aerial hoop and silks indoors during rainy weather. The deciding factor for me was that the footprint was the right size to fit in my living room. It is not adjustable, and there is no anchor point to attach equipment. I use a foot loop with a 6,000 lb rating choked around the bar to create an anchor point. I’m 5’4”, and when I use my aerial hoop it’s a little to low with my mats to hang from my knees without my head touching the floor. I also hit the bars when doing things like mermaid or star on the bar (any horizontally spread out thing essentially) when in the hoop. So be aware it will limit your aerial practice more than a taller rig. That being said, it was more sturdy than I expected. They weren’t kidding about it being rock SOLID aluminum. Not sure about doing drops on it since the safety ratio for the 600lb limit isn’t stated, but there’s not enough height for that anyways. UPDATE: I wound up using this more for silks than lyra, and I’m able to do almost everything I do in my silks class other than drops. Obviously I run out of room if I do combinations of moves that make me lose height, but I can practice tons of stuff beginner-intermediate. Inverting with straight legs can result in feet hitting the bar, so I have to be careful when I do that, but even that is doable. Overall good for being able to do aerial conditioning, but limiting on height and moves that have you spread out horizontally. I have many examples of me using it on insta @nekozukisensei (not looking for followers; this might give you a better idea if you're unsure and want to actually see more of it in action. The rig shown INDOORS is the yogabody one; outdoors is a different rig that is much bigger). As for the weight, don’t expect to put the whole thing in a duffle bag, sling it over your shoulder, and hike out to a picturesque location. I will probably split it between two bags for transport, each weighing about 35. It would still be pretty easy to transport. I was able to assemble it by myself in about 10 minutes with a bit of know how from putting together my larger rig. With two people it’s very fast! (Update: I'm pretty sure I can take it up/down in more like 5 minutes now with practice.)
