Fluidity Bar?
 

Hi everyone

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the Fluidity Bar. I just saw the informercial the other day and I am quite interested in this product. I checked with the informercial review web site and there is some positive feed back on the product. Sometimes I wonder if the comments made on that site are real and I know that I will get real honest opinions here.

Take care

When doing a simple search on it, I found a lot of ebay listings/craigslist listings from people who used it once and are selling it. It looks like it works if you want to do some strengthening as well as flexibility exercises but it may not be for everyone. It looks like some gyms offer classes using it and others compared it to the Bar Method tapes which use a heavy chair for some of their exercises.

If I was looking into buy it, I'd try to find a local gym that offers classes and see if I could at least try it out before buying it or rent one of the DVDs that are similar such as The Bar Method/Lotte Berk and see if those were for me.

If you do end up getting it, let us know what you think of it.

I seen it advertised on TV & phoned to order for my daughter & it was going to be 4 times more plus shipping & handling to get it up to Canada. She use to dance & I thought she would enjoy it - but it would be about $250 to get it here.

Thanks guys

I think I might wait for a while see if the price will go down or maybe it will be in stores next year.

Thanks again

I just saw this infomercial the other night, when I was up with DD since she was sick. It looks interesting. There aren't any gyms in my area, which is too bad, because I think that it would be great for stretching and flexibility.

But it is expensive, hopefully you can keep an eye out on craigslist or ebay, or the price will come down.

My mother bought me on for xmas - it arrived today. I will try it out and let you know how it works for me! I had never heard of it before, but it looks to be well constructed and sturdy. The entire package contained the bar, 4 DVD's, resistance bands, a ball and pump, and a whole foods book I haven't read and an instructional guide.

well, I tried it. It seems very easy to get the hang of, but there were several moves I just could not do, mostly the sitting leg lifts and such, hard to explain. All of them are very controlled, very small movements and I spent the whole time hoping I wasn't doing them wrong. I didn't really feel anything during or after, muscle fatigue wise. You need a lot of balance and flexibility to do this, but I guess the more you do it, the more of those two things you gain. I think I need to give it some more time to fully get a feel if it's for me.

My mom will be very disappointed about wasting the money if it doesn't work - so I feel I need to give it a really good try. LOL

I bought one about a month ago and I love it! Every time I do it, I feel stronger and leaner. You're right, the leg lifts are very hard to do, but I'm finally able to do a couple with both legs lifted at the same time.

I have it. The price is for the Bar itself. It's very sturdy and well made. The videos are well-produced, but nothing to write home about when you compare them to Callanetics, or the other 'lotte berk' workouts currently on the market.

If you want the same results, but for less money, 'craft' your own barre from Home Depot, and pick up Callanetics (or Bar Method, or those other vids.)

Lotte Berk exercises are AMAZING for reshaping the body...

This is an older thread so I don't know if anyone is still looking but I got my Fluidity program back in January so I thought I would pipe in here as someone who's been doing it a while. I really love it. Still doing it 3 times a week and am about to embark on the second (intermediate) level. If you don't feel like you've gotten a workout unless your so sore you can hardly get out of bed the next day you won't like this program. I honestly didn't think I had done the moves correctly because I wasn't sore the next day but after only the first week I felt stronger and more flexible.

I really like this particular program because they actually give you 3 examples to follow depending on your capability rather than having a whole "class" all working at the same level - which is invariably a higher level than me and makes me feel inadequate.

Those "flat back" seated leg lifts are killer and almost made me feel I'd picked the wrong program because, initially, the biggest problem I had with this move was that my big old tummy kept flopping in the way of all that extra thigh and blocking me from completing the moves but I hung with it (although I admit I did hang on to the carton for a whole month "just in case"). I'm in the middle of my 10th week and am really surprised at how much difference an inch off my thighs and 2 1/2"s off my tummy make as far as being able to make progress with this one. Still can't quiiiiite get the knees to actually touch around the tummy but almost :D

Bottom line - If you are serious and can make yourself stick with a program it works great.

P.S. - That part about not being sore - I lied :D Just started the next step up to the "intermediate" level. Ouch. Still love it though.

I am thinking about getting the Fluidity Bar--
wondering if you are using it long term.

Do you still enjoy and use the workouts?

What results have you seen?

I just ordered this item and was wondering how you are making out with it and if you are still happy with the results.

I was wondering if you continued to use it and if you liked it after a while.

Hi!

I did order the Fluidity Bar and I love it! I used it this winter
along with the original dvds and recently purchased the new
dvd series. It is permanently set up in my dance studio room
so I do not have to store it. That said, it is the best piece of
equipment I have along with a Pilates stick and pilates circle.

I also use the Bar method dvds for variety and I have been very
happy with the results.

.

I have joined a local gym for a few months so my Fluidity
Bar will get more use again in the Fall and Winter. I want to take
advantage of the gym machines while it is still here-many have closed
in our area

Please update us and let us know how you like the Fluidity system!



.:cool:

Thank you so much for your post, I will let you know when I get it, I am really looking forward to using it.

Is anyone still using this equipment? I was thinking of ordering it to give it a go. I really want to do some dancer-oriented toning. I want to eventually take dance classes and this appeals to me.

I just broke out my fluidity bar after about a year of collecting dust in the closet and I am really enjoying it. I have some limitations now with exercise that I didn't have before and this seems to be a good fit. The reason I wasn't using it before was related to my readiness and not the fluidity bar itself. I'm hoping that getting active again after a long hiatus will get me past the plateau that I've been at for some time now. How are the newer DVDs? So far I'm just using the originals but I would like more variety.

That looks kind of neat but I could make the same thing out of about $50 worth of metal plumbing bits from Lowes. Granted it wouldn't fold up, but still.

That's great if you're creative enough to build it and motivated enough to create your own routine. I really like the convenience of being able to fold it up and slide it into the closet where it fits perfectly against a wall and takes up no space. My husband is a plumber so I could probably make one without buying anything but honestly that process requires two different types of motivation to create it and then use it - I'm only up for one right now and I'd rather it be the workout. I also really need the videos to keep me on track and motivated and making sure my session lasts a certain amount of time. I hope you've found something that works well for you.

Just received the bar this week
 

My husband was VERY skeptical because I have purchased equipment in the past and haven't used it for one reason or another. So he let me try the in home trial for 14.95, and so far I love it! I had some lower back problems from lifting a giant roll of carpet, and after using the bar 1 and 1/2 times (due to a interruption from a phone call), my back feels great. I will post more the more I use it, but so far I really really like it and think it is totally worth the money.

Fluidity Bar 2012
 

Hi there! I am so happy to see there are a few of you that are begining to use the bar in 2012! Mine should be arrving in a week. I too, have a back probelm,,a Spinal Fusion..I got tired of my Aero PIlates machine..it gave me a headache..seriously..the laying down jumping, made my neck and head hurt..I have 30 days of which to do this 3 times a week plus whatever else I can throw in the mix. Truth be told,I hate exercising.. Its boring and I' d rather be hiking..but since its winter and freezing cold, I decided on this. Lets bond together and kept eachother updated.:carrot:

How is it going with your fluidity bar? I had to take a break due to various issues and have certainly seen my lack of activity show up on the scale and in my clothes. I'm back at it and I've ordered some other videos to help with the variety. For now, I'm using the Fluidity videos and then my own routine on off days. I really find this to be the easiest thing on my body as any impact has become out of the question. I'm also hopping on the stationary bike several times a week. Here's hoping I'll get back to where I was before my haitus and then more progress from there. ;)

Better late then never.
 

I had a bar and donated it to a fundraiser. Now I am looking for another. Wow. Hope those good intentions will help find another bar!

Hi :) I recently bought the Fluidity bar from Craigslist. I only have two of the DVDs but so far I love it. I've been using it for about 2 weeks and I can tell a big difference in my flexibility. I'm going to order the remaining DVDs and bands from the website tomorrow so hopefully I can start alternating beginning with Intermediate in November.

Is anyone still using their bar? How long did you use it before you saw results? And did you take the "pills" with it (I'm hoping for quick-ish results without using pills).

Thanks,
Sheila

I just ordered a Fitness barre from BalletBarreStore. They're having a sale now. It seems to be similar to the fluidity barre (minus the mat). I've been wanting a ballet barre FOREVER, so this was just the ticket. I can't wait to try it!

fluidity: HELP!
 

Tried It For Two Days And Im A Big Woman, I Couldnt Get My But Off The Floor, Or Lift My Legs. The Legs Stretches Were Oka, But I Had To Send It Back. Though It Cost Me To Do It. I Just Wanted It Out My House, Now Im Going To A Free Gym Work Out My Own Way. Except I Cant Get Away From The Cookies, :(

If you are talking about the flat back exercises, they ARE hard. I sometimes go to a studio that does flat back. They say as long as you keep trying, you will be able to get to it slowly. If you are talking about the dip moves, Fluidity moves usually give a beginner modification that involves just leaning back. Some of the moves I can do the advanced but most of them I have to do beginner/intermediate on just the beginner dvd! Sorry you didn't like your fluidity bar!

thanks for this!! I saw the informercial this morning and I am really considering! SO far no one is saying anything bad (other than price... but then again over the yeard how much crap that didn't work cost more or at least collectively)

I just got my Fluidity bar from Craig's List and it did not come with the FluidityFit Guide to Healthy Eating. Could someone please fill me in on the plan please?

Yes it works. The price for new is the same as 2012.
 

Yes, this barre actually does work. I purchased my barre in 2012 for $599.00+. I noticed results in the first seven tries. That means I used it seven times as directed 30 minute workouts every other day. I was very impressed with the results. I was very happy with what I saw and I didn’t even realize it but in a two month period I went from 190 pounds down to 170. My best time personally to workout is no one is home and in the evening. I can take a shower and just go to sleep. Ladies, it’s all mindset if you want to do it and you want to be lean and beautiful it will be very helpful to you, but it is going to be a lot of stretching no jarring movements and I think anyone can do this but always check with your doctor first.

Try to see if Amazon has the videos. The actual website should have information also. Good luck on your journey.
