The bar broke on its first use. I emailed the company via the websites ‘enquiry’ email to tell them about it and got no reply. I am sceptical that this comment will lead to them replacing the bar after no reply to my previous email.

The overall experience is quite good but I feel that you should include the door anchors in the set or allow the door anchors to be sold separately instead of part of extra weight bundle

I’m a 67 year old male, this is a great product. I use it the days I don’t go to the gym. I gave 4 stars, as the only issue the bands received are a bit strong & I will need to order a different set. Quality 5 stars Delivery 5 stars Communication 5 stars I would recommend this product to others

Danny R. 4/5 December 31, 2024

Great product ..over than expected delayed delivery but was compensated by life time access to universal tv Very happy so far

Karan P. 4/5 Verified December 30, 2024

I ordered my universalbar on 23 november 2024, and am still waiting to receive it, i.e. 20 days later!

Andries V. 2/5 December 14, 2024

Such a good product. well made and easy to assemble. Great for at home workouts on the go. only wish it came with a chart that could show you the endless about of workouts you can do. but luckily you can find it all on their channel.

Gyms are now obsolete. This is an autistic person's fitness dream. Everything you need, in your room.

Kieren 5/5 June 6, 2024

Pretty impressed overall! Been using it quite a bit and you can do A LOT of different exercises with them and get a good workout in. The only thing I would improve is the ability to shorten or lengthen the resistance bands so you can have a different starting point in the resistance. It can be a bit strange doing a chest press only half way because the bands aren't short enough. You could design a band with multiple knots or latch point along the band to be able to adjust the length of the bands.

Challenging but a very technical piece of equipment I never thought would exist, but I’m glad it does!

James P. 4/5 Verified September 12, 2023

Absolutely love this so far. I searched high and low for something that would suit my needs, lots of products from off shore companies but was absolutely stoked when I found an Aussie company I could support. My main for of exercise is about 4 x 45min HIIT classes a week. Great for overall fitness and keeping my weight down, but I wanted something I could access and use easily when I wanted, to help me tone up more and look a little more defined. I definitely didn't want to join another gym and I also wanted something that was completely convenient for me. The Universal Bar has hit it out of the park for me so far, particularly when I just want to get a quick arm, shoulder, back and chest workout in, from the provacy of my house, bedroom, or anyhwere I feel like really. More constructive feedback, than criticism; it would be great to see as this business grows, something like guided workouts for specific muscle groups or body parts. I'm by no means and expert when it comes to this stuff, so any extra content or information regarding getting best results would be amazing. I love it though and am very glad I purchased it!

My home gym routine has definitely improved with variety of workouts and resistance options having this bar. I absolutely love using it for military and shoulder press, as well as squats, front raises, upright rows and forearm curls. If you can anchor the bar's bands around a pole and clip them together, it works well for rows and standing chest press (the range of motion this way feels better than the equivalent movement on the belt). I would like to see the resistance bands for just the bar sold separately, currently on the website you have to buy them in a package with the bands for the belt and some door anchors. I don't need all these. I would 100% buy the bar again, although - if there was an option to just get the bar, and not the bench press belt (and for a reduced price), I would likely have gone down that route. I find myself only really using the belt for chest flies and pull aparts - as my normal set of resistance tubes with handles fulfil the other movements it offers. Nevertheless, if you personally don't have some tubes w/ handles already, I think you'll find the belt useful. Personally, I'll probably sell it second hand and keep the bar. This is no fault of the product of course, it's my personal preference and existing ownership of similar gear. Otherwise it has been a very positive purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 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.

Nicole M. 5/5 Verified July 22, 2023

Based on the positive reviews. I ordered it without hesitation. Cant wait to recieve mine.

Jan S. 5/5 July 19, 2023

Fast shipping, high quality product, saved me a lot of money since I required higher weights. Would definitely recommend to peers.

David N. 5/5 April 28, 2023

The product is fantastic. I’m 54 years old I try the gym and they live a lot to say at the present time. This product gives me the flexibility to do it at my own pace end at the comfort of my own space. Well done universal bar.

Rodrigo T. 5/5 Verified March 14, 2023

I love this!! Perfect as I'm someone who works out in the comfort of my own room. I've been making progress and working my way up to 90kgs, it's amazing how easy it is to adjust the weight and really helps me build my strength along with the huuuge amounts of different exercises I can do with this thing! Couldn't be more happier :)

Meaghan C. 5/5 Verified March 20, 2022

Can't fault this product - absolutely love it. I work on a cruise ship and use this 2-3 times per week to stay fit. Really cool that the weight of the resistance is adjustable, will definitely be recommending this to friends and family. Happy days!

Paddy C. 5/5 Verified March 16, 2022

Provides an awesome work out indoors and outdoors. I've been using this at the park lately and my favorite are the chest exercises it allows me to do amongst many more. Very happy customer over here, flawless in my opinion. Will definitely be recommending this product to my friends!

William B. 5/5 Verified February 27, 2022

This is my favorite purchase so far this year! Travelling interstate for a business trip and taking this bad boy with me. I use this regularly and it's especially handy when I travel for business. Well done Universalbar.

Arthur T. 5/5 Verified February 21, 2022

Brilliant product, truly brilliant. takes a bit to get used to, but once you do it's a breeze to use and provides more than enough resistance to build muscle/lose fat. Highly recommend, helped me trim a bit of fat since working from home.

Patrick M. 5/5 Verified February 3, 2022

For someone who doesn’t always have time to go to the gym, this product comes extremely handy for home workouts! Brilliant product. Highly recommend.

Vivian Q. 5/5 Verified January 9, 2022

Fast delivery and easy to use. Comes with instructions and video links for different work outs. Packs away in a small bag and great for taking it with you wherever you go.

Dan L. 5/5 Verified January 5, 2022

Absolutely brilliant product, easy to assemble, use and transport. Plethora of workouts can be done with only minor adjustments that take less than 1 minute. As someone who constantly travels for work, the universal bar will never leave my side. A+ purchase!

Callum G. 5/5 Verified December 22, 2021

great product! actually gives a great work out

Dominic P. 5/5 Verified December 18, 2021

Purchased this only a couple of days ago, exceeded my expectations. I travel regularly for work and take this with me wherever I go. Highly recommend! Great quality product.

Michael T. 5/5 Verified December 17, 2021

Already owned and use as great addition to power rack and use bands when performing isolation movements

Alistair P. 4/5 Verified August 25, 2026

The bar itself is pretty good and good quality. I've rated it at 3 because ive emailed support a few times now with no response.

Melanie S. 3/5 Verified July 14, 2026

Highly versatile!! And portable with a he'll of a workout, even allowed me to put on mantaray barbell accessories to help with squatting by spreading the load to my hips!

Anthony T. 5/5 Verified April 24, 2026

Worked better than rubber cables i needed to put armorall to preserve their integrity

Anthony T. 5/5 Verified April 24, 2026

They were better than the rubber ones i used to have!

Anthony T. 5/5 Verified April 24, 2026

I love my kit but I am having issues with my second order of the extra resistance. First order came fast. This order has been over 3 weeks. One of the tracking numbers doesn't work for the overseas shipping company and the auspost one has been sitting or a week. I am trying to follow up with multiple emails and no reply. I really loved the first product but this experience now is making me regret ordering again. I just want an update!

Jaiden F. 3/5 April 13, 2026

Shouldn’t send a promo email daily to someone who never received their order, seems like a paradox

Stephen J. 1/5 Verified April 4, 2026

The 2 stars are for the workmanship of the product, the 3 (0) stars are for the customer service which does not exist. Also I purchased the ultimate pack which included a free trial of Fit Tv, there was no free trial as they charged my card asap, so definitely misleading. I have filed a charge back from my bank for this. I did contact these guys about it but my email was ignored. I do not recommend.

Jason K. 2/5 Verified April 2, 2026

Never received what I ordered, get heaps of emails but no product.

Stephen 1/5 March 30, 2026

44 days and still waiting. The advertising that orders are filled within 1-2 business days is false and misleading. This must be a dropshipping product from China - not shipped from Melbourne. Responsiveness to emails is terrible. Auto emails asking for reviews is enflaming the annoyance of not yet recieving the product.

Greg S. 1/5 March 30, 2026

Really enjoying it and works well for what I need

Adam R. 5/5 Verified March 24, 2026

The audacity to ask me for a review four weeks after my purchase when you have not even shipped the product yet is pretty breathtaking. You guys have not responded to my emails requesting an update on when you might ship the product, but I'm going to guess it's not the "5 to 10 days" suggested on checkout. If I do not receive a reply soon I will have to reverse my payment and assume you were scamming me all along. Disappointing.

Connell G. 1/5 February 27, 2026

Your service sucks

Deon S. 1/5 Verified February 20, 2026

You sent the goods without CLEAR instructions as to how to put it together and operate the equipment. Plus without a CLEAR video of how to use the equipment. Then you ask for a $98 yearly fee to view videos. Inadequate videos. Consequently the bags sit not being used. You put everything into getting people to buy your equipment and then neglect beginners in the after service. Plus you are slow to communicate with people. "Not happy Jan".

Therese S. 1/5 February 20, 2026

Returned the item already
