Sportsroyals Dip Bar, Adjustable Dip Stands Station for Home, Functional Heavy Duty Parallette Bars for Upper Body Workout (400/1200LBS Loading Capacity, 2025 New Version)

Sure, there are some healthy seniors that have decent balance and walk well. Unfortunately, I don't think that is the norm, we lose balance easier and have less muscle tone after 50 than twenty somethings. I just got one of those treadmills but knew when ordering it I needed to make it safe. There's a reason hotel fitness rooms and most gyms, have rails on the sides of many treadmills. I have a special incentive, if I fall due to my weight, and lower leg weakness due to neuropathy, I can't get up without outside help. Still, I need to walk more often, and cold weather is on the way.So, what's all this talk about treadmills when the product is a dip bar set. Well, this excellent set can be placed underneath a treadmill and provide a stable set of safety bars when walking on a treadmill. There are cheaper alternatives, but they seem to be less stable and of questionable quality. Often the cheaper ones are made of rounded tubular steel with less thickness and no way to level. These have rectangular thick steel, with floor levelers on the outside supports. They have a hand grip on the center of the crossbar, and adjustable for height. The adjustments are easy with thumbwheels that remove and install quickly. The pair can be moved to spread apart to adjust to the desired width and will easily accommodate skinny or wide treadmill widths. I bought these and assembled in minutes they will work on treadmills with high clearance or support others that have a solid frame. You should check first there are some designs they may not work width as well.While I did not use for this application, I should not these are not designed for guard rails. They are common gym equipment used often for gymnastic exercises. Leg lifts, flips and other exercises with this set of bars is about as professional as you'd need for most home gyms. Comes with a plastic see through exact count sealed set of assembly hardware and carefully wrapped steel components that assemble quickly and provide a stable exercise platform. For some elderly, I would never recommend a treadmill even with this dip stand set, but even for the healthy, this is a great safeguard to prevent injury and make walking on a moving surface a bit safer than normal. Recommended.

Easily assembled. Does exactly what it's designed for. I'm 245lbs no frame stability issues. It's solid Im considering getting another to have one at home and the other in my office

Solid Metal, Gets the job done, not wobbly or anything, I def recommend!

So, first of all the build quality of this is just what you'd want in a piece of workout equipment. It doesn't leave you worried that it's going to drop you from a mechanical error. Feels very sturdy.I have only a few uncertainties about the design. Firstly, the way the support bars connect the vertical bars, if you use the pushup handles good luck not hitting your chin or your face on the support bar, unless you just don't use good form and don't go down all the way. It's not bad enough to prevent it from being used, but it makes me a bit nervous that if I were to slip and drop myself I'd bang my chin or throat right on that bar and ... well that would not end well. I've considered taping a rag around the support bar for cushion just in case. I've found that if I put my body THROUGH the bar set (between the two vertical bars) and hold the pushup handles facing that way it basically resolves the first problem (at least it's just my chest touching the support bar then, much less awkward/hazardous), but then the vertical bars are a bit in the way of my arms, so... you can use the pushup bars yes... but you basically gotta almost touch your face or neck to the support bar every time you go down and that gets uncomfortable real fast.As for the detached design, I think I like this since it allows you to set the width you need it to be, or just use one bar set when you need to, but at the same time since the two sides do not attach to each other this makes it possible for the set to tip over while you're using it if you push outwards too much. This could be fixed with sandbags if it worries you and you want to go to that trouble. Finally, I'm a pretty small person and I have to sort of stagger the two bar sets so the floor braces can slip between each other b/c the width of the bars is too wide for me when the floor braces are in a straight line with each other. This works okay and the grips provided on the top bars are long enough that I can still grip them centrally even when the bars are staggered, but it feels a wee bit awkward.All-in-all this seems great quality and if you want the ability to move it around to more widths and configurations like this set provides (many others simply lack that feature b/c it's all one piece conjoined) then I think this is pretty much the best thing you can find like it. Stores fairly compact for what it is.I just feel a little iffy about the way the pushup handles play into it, and the potential for the whole thing to tip outward and fall if you mess up your form. Need to use it more and see if that ever becomes an issue.Oh yeah the corners of the orange plastic where the top bar inserts into the lower ones are sharp. Be careful about those. Might wanna file em down a little.

It’s worth it🤙🏾
