Bally Fitness Pilates Door Knob Rope Excerciser

The black rope sheds pieces all over face and chest during use. Danger of inhaling black material shed off the rope. Gets worse with each use. Horrible!

The only flaws with this rope is that when you place it on the door knob you have to really secure it with something exact (like a rubber band or another piece of rope)

Don't believe all the whiners here who left negative feedback. I owned an exerciser like this some years ago with nylon rope and plastic pulleys. It was a great, quick workout at home and I lost the thing in a move. I was glad to get a similar item with elastic bands for only $10. As far as using it, just bind the doorhandle loop with a rubber band or tape. To move away from the door, just add a length of nylon 3/8 inch rope. What the heck do you expect for $10!

Not even worth 1 star but 0 was not an option; I Used the rope only 5 times before it shredded to pieces and broke. it is the worse product i've ever used. bally's must already know of the defect of this product but is yet still selling it; i work out often and has had ropes before but none of this poor quality. my last rope was a cheap nylon rope which i forgot in my hotel room while traveling and it was of much better quality because i had it for over 3 years and it never gave me any trouble and i used it faithfully everyday. first of all, this Bally's rope would not stay on the doorknob so i tied it tight so it would'nt come off..then while using it it start smelling as if it was burning to pieces and shreds of the black rope start falling in my face. then the pulley start hanging out and after only a week of using it..the rope shredded and broke off the pully all together..so there u have it..u can be curious and buy it to see for yourself but i did ignore a bad review before i ordered it also..thinking it can't be that bad..;))..but it was worse than the review and Bally's lose major points from me...i would'nt even work out at their Gym because they have intentionally cheated people out of money because i'm sure they test products before selling them and they know this is a bad product. well okay there u have it..if u don't believe my review..order and see for yourself.

In the mid 1980s, I bought the Body Exerciser from American Consumer. It amazed me at how well it took inches off of my thighs. Over the years, some of the plastic pulleys wore down, so I have been looking for a replacement. The Bally Fitness Pilates Door Knob Rope Exerciser comes close to matching the Body Exerciser. It has three minor problems that if you are willing to work with, will do the job that the Body Exerciser does. First, it squeaks. Second, the loop that fits over the door knob has a tendency to slide off easily. Last, the rope itself is too short (I am 5'4"). I easily solved all of these problems. I ignore the squeak. I added extra rope to the loop section and to the exercise section. I have been using the Bally Exerciser and am already seeing my thighs and abdomen tighten up and slim down. The results I obtained with this product were excellent, which made its imperfections acceptable.

The rope was shredding from the day that I bought it. Pieces fell in my face, eyes & hair, so much that I quit using it.

excellent quality, easy to use and fun, easy purchase arrived quickly and in great condition , no assembly required and fun

Like most other reviewers, I had the nylon rope with nylon pulley's that finally broke. Couldn't find anything like it so got this even with all the bad reviews. For 10 bucks, it was worth the try. The ropes are way too short and I'm only 5'3". But....the pulley's are great. I took the thing apart and used the pulley's on my nylon ropes and also changed the knob attachment. It works fine now, when I use it!
