BOSU Helm - Push Up Bar, Utility Trainer

This has shown up as a sponsored ad in my social media feeds frequently and the video showing a female doing circuit of exercises sold me. The web-site only shows clips of push-up positioning which I believe is seriously limiting the potential customers - the video of the HIIT circuits (I've now seen two different ones) makes this a really super piece of home equipment. Covering Agility Steps, Lunge Swings, Side Planks, 3 Way Mtn Climbers, Burpee Squat Press, Push-up Crossovers, Mat Jumps, Twisting Hops, and more!What I like...I can do a lot of push-ups and hold a plank for long time, only my wrists fatigue in the bent position. This bar allows for hand grip position and it is solid with options for close and wide stance, vertical and horizontal.The weight of this is only 4.4 lbs (just weighed it.) You can take this with you to the park to do exercises! I guess if you wanted to add weight to the bar for training, you could wrap wrist weights on the edges (just make sure they are on securely so don't fall off and bop your head.)The material is strong and solid. I don't know what it is but liken it most closely to whatever they make those composite dog chews shaped like bones from (Nylabone types.) It is a smooth surface and does not have any smell. Metal bars leave a metal smell on your hands, this won't do that.I have a Bosu ball so can couple this to add variation to plank/push up stability exercises.In all, it's a nice gadget. I can see it being used more often that some other home exercise equipment I have.I purchased here because the price was same as on web-site and Prime delivery plus Amazon easy returns is preferred.It does not come with any carrying bag (likely need to hang it on a hook in garage or closet or work out room) and does not come with any manual or chart or suggested exercises. The web-site is limited as to what it offers, as I pointed out above. I think they should add the HIIT workouts to the web-site, too, and maybe a dedicated "user" section with exercises detailed out and some work-outs. Doesn't have to be a ton, but some would be nice. The video clips there are just push-up form demos and not really "relatable" to a wider audience who would be able to use this well if shown the possibilities.I recommend if you work out, especially if you are a free lance or own business personal trainer who takes clients out or has classes in the park/at the beach. You could do a lot of different exercises with this and it's fun, good work out.

Huge bosu fan but these definitely are worth the investment! Durable and get the job done! Have a messed up wrist so this definitely helps with push ups!

I purchased this when it went on sale and I'm glad I waited. The Helm is a beast!!! Will fit my needs perfectly. The product is more than I expected in terms of its construction, built to last. This is important as I'm a personal trainer and prefer to train outdoors anytime possible and the Helm is built maybe even over built and perfect for this application. My only worry was the handles but they are thick and provide a good and sturdy grip. No need for instructions as the product is self explanatory. I bought the BOSU Elite in conjunction with the Helm. Both products stand alone and/or are perfect together, Glad I made this purchase, will compliment/benefit my routine/circuit and clients. Took a chance on this purchase and I'm pleasantly surprised!!!

Fantastic product. Constructed incredibly well. From the angle that your hands can be positioned, whether it is on the neutral or pronated grip, to the sturdiness of the piece, it was definitely well crafted.When I first used it, my shoulders, chest, triceps, front delts, and abs definitely felt like they were working more than just on the floor. The recruitment of the stabilizer muscles is very obvious here, and so the HELM should be a staple for anyone looking to be more functional or athletic.I use it with many of my clients and the versatility of it is great - whether you use it on the floor on its own, or a Dynapro stability ball. This is the ULTIMATE tool for stabilization work.

Since I love all things BOSU, I am not really sure what took me so long to grab one of these gizmos!This quality made and sturdy instrument by BOSU, makes a BOSU even more versatile. I especially like the three handle positioning to hit my pecs in a variety of angles. Very happy with this purchase.

Quality made! Comfortable , strong, I’m a larger guy trying to get back into shape! Durable, strong, and fits the bosu ball perfectly but can be used on an exercise ball as well. Looking forward to using it to get back in shape!

Took forever to get here. But it's sturdy and works well enough

Absolutely love this thing on my bosu
