Anyone use this: Universal Strength Apparatus

baba · 11-26-10, 04:13 PM

I am looking for some sort of suspension system that I can use in my house because I just don't have kids that sleep and the only exercise I can get is little bit of snippets. I have been looking at the TRX and the Jungle Gym XT. Someone told me to take a look at the Universal Strength Apparatus

It's basically like a suspension system but with a mini-type ladder. This way you don't have to adjust the length of it like the TRX or Jungle Gym because you just move your hands up the ladder. It also has foot holds. It doesn't look as well made but I can't honestly know for sure. Anyone use this? Have an opinion? Thanks

My opinion is Coolness factor: a 10, but price factor: a 4. If it were between TRX and this I'd go for this, hands down... but now that the XT is in the picture, I think I'd go for the XT just for the price.
I do like the ladder idea though, and think it's looks much more user friendly, but price stops me. I just don't know if it's worth it to me.
But, as with anything, I can be swayed...
