Brilliant product
Brilliant product, there was a hold up with delivery but customer service was very good. I highly recommend this company. The Universal Bar is safer and way more convenient than the home gym.
Definitely recommend!
It’s been a very good addition to my equipment. Allows you to perform a great variety of different exercises with some very good resistance which is what it’s all about. Doesn’t take up any room and I’ve even taken it camping to burn off that excess food and drink when away.. very happy with purchase
Extremely happy with this bar
Extremely happy with this bar. Made it convenient for me to do exercises by my desk in between breaks after long hours on the computer. Also happy that I can easily adjust resistance bands. Love it
Waste of money, cheap chinese product slapped with a label.
First of all the delivery arrived 2 months after my order and when followed up I received no correspondence. When I did receive the package the bar broke only after a few uses and could never get a refund.
very poor quality and not worth the price that it is at all, I wouldn’t even pay $10 let alone almost $300.

Love the bar! Amazing customer service!
I got the Universal Bar for my upcoming work trip because going to the gym was hard. I was scared it wouldn't come in time. I called the number on the website and it was easy to reach to them. I spoke with Henry. I told him I was worried and he really understood how I felt. He said not to worry and he would send another one quickly from Melbourne. He also said I don't need to hurry to send back the first one. I'll do that when I'm back in Sydney. I'm thankful for their trust and for being understanding. It made me feel better knowing he cared about his customer (me) getting the bar on time for my trip. Thank you, Henry.
Great functional products, top quality service
I bought the primary universal bar set thinking it would be a great at-home workout, and went on to purchase every other set of additional bands in each resistance level because I love this product so much, and they bring so much more variation to my workouts. The booklet it comes with, along with info on their website, Youtube channel and all their socials shows a multitude of different exercises you can do. It is so versatile and adaptable that anyone can get a great workout in the comfort of their own home. Forget static weight, cumbersome dumbbells that take up space, and get yourself this superstar of a portable gym!
Don't waste your money on any other brand!!! Universal Bar for the win!
After having a really bad experience with another company and loosing my money I was scared to buy from another company. Universal Bar did not disappoint. They took loads of time to chat to me about the product and shipping. The staff are down to earth and helpful. My order came really quickly and the product itself is amazing! I sadly had to get rid of my home gym due to moving. This provides a great amount of resistance and variety of exercise to replace what I'd use the cable machines for! The only downfall is I should have ordered sooner.

Don’t like it at all
Don’t like it at all. Barely any instruction how to use the equipment properly for/ set it up for the different exercises, it is cumbersome and in my eyes not worth the money

Very Grateful
My experience ordering with the Universal Bar company was handled very graciously when there were several stock issues, resulting in a long delay that was unfortunately out of their control. They were very receptive to my concerns and did their best to rectify the situation, and as I have now received the bar I am very happy to say that it is high quality and, though I have only tested it briefly and haven't yet mastered it, I was pleasantly surprised to find the bands in particular are very durable and would make for a great, challenging workout. I work full-time and this gives me the opportunity to improve my fitness from the comfort of my home, and I am more than happy to write this review and thank the team for their willingness to help. I truly appreciate it.

I personally found the experience of using this as cumbersome and awkward definitely not long enough when it is across your when lying on the floor as it digs into you .

Different resistance
It would be good to have bands of varying resistance (5,10kg) to help with progression and finding the right weight.

Great concept
Great concept, convenient to work out in between my spear even if it’s just a few reps here and there.
Customer service was great, responded quickly and helpful.
A video with the how to’s for newbies would be great and I’d definitely get more use from use in.
Will have already recommended this product.

Easy to use for beginners for a great workout
I am obsessed! In lieu of setting up a home gym in our garage, I opted to give the Universal Bar a try, and it hasn't disappointed! Easy to put together, super quick and easy to change the resistance bands and bar set up to work through a circuit, and all in the comfort of my own home. I'm only just getting back into bar workouts after a few years break, and the Universal Bar has been a really accessible and enjoyable way to start building my strength back up again. Thanks to all involved!

Item is of good quality
Item is of good quality, arrived fast. Instruction booklet isnt great, so you will need to spend time watching insta clips. Youtube video is for promotion, so not helpful.

Great product and service
Both my husband and I use this item for a decent work out while watching our TV shows. So handy to just bring out and pack away in the ottoman in the lounge room. :) so many different exercises can be done.
