Drishti Extra Thick Yoga Mat

Same high quality as the Drishti Standard Mat, but twice as thick! More padding for those sensitive elbows and knees. Provides extra cushion without being squishy and unstable. Available in 6 colors.
Customer Review: Love it!
Have used it for about a month now and LOVE IT! It is thick and comfy and love the color (purple). Highly recommend it! Bought the mat after using a friend's and renting from the studio. When I got it I washed it as recommended, a couple of times, with some dishsoap and water . Probably washed it 3 times in the first week. I usually use a towel over my mat (hot yoga) so I have never experienced a slip or other problem.
Customer Review: Too Squishy
I liked the thickness of this mat, but it is not very dense so you sink in. I hated that standing on the mat left temporary footprints and balancing on this mat was difficult too.

Manduka 71-Inch PROlite Travel Yoga and Pilates Mat

This awesome eco-responsible yoga mat is Manduka's alternative offering to their ultra-heavy 7-pound-BlackMatPRO.

Available in 5 colors: purple, olive, pacific, pinot, and apricot. 3/16" x 24" x 71" (3" longer than a standard yoga mat)
Customer Review: Manduka Travel Mat
I have been a yoga student for 8 years and over time have used several different mats; nike, lululemon etc.. A month ago my yoga teacher suggested I buy a manduka travel-light mat for a firmer support under my feet; ILOVE IT! It is light and easy to carry and most importantly my balance has improved. It is firm but very comfortable! You will not be disappointed.
Customer Review: Unfortunatelly this mat is very slippery
This mat is very slippery for vinyasa yoga. I bought it to replace my old mat that I have for over 5 years, a regular inexpensive mat that I couldn' t find any more in the market. I have washed the manduka mat more than 20 times and I have tried all possible different detergents. It is still slippery.

Customer Review: Everything I wanted in a Rowing Machine
I bought this rowing machine as my New Year's resolution to get back in shape and I hate jogging. I read lots of reviews. I needed something small and well built, but not too expensive. This was the perfect machine. I keep it in my basement and even with the fan blowing, I can still hear my TV set 20ft away - and it's not blaringly loud. The seat slides smoothly on the rails. the pull in nice and even, and the computer works well, though I found that I sometimes had to push the connection back in to the back of the computer - guess it ocassionally vibrated out - that's the only comment even close to negative I'd have for this. After more than 100 hours on this machine, it still rides like the day I bought it and I still get a good workout and am not even at level 6 in intensity yet. (I'm a 50yr old woman who was in avg shape to start). A few other pleasant surprises - I only wear a size 6 shoe and the foot holders actually hold my feet down - though the strap does come over my toes and not further down. I tried other rowers and my feet were too short. My husband, who wears a size 10 !/2 shoe also had no problem. Both of us get a good range of motion and workout - he at 5'10" and me at 4'11" - again, not something we usually find easily. I didn't spend the money for the heart rate monitor. A few months after I purchased this machine, Costco was selling the Nike Women's heart rate monitor and watch for $50. I bought it, thinking I'd use the watch and monitor. To my surprise, the monitor was automatically discovered by the rowing machine computer and I see all my vitals right in front of me - I didn't have to do any setup. There are no programming settings, so you're on your own for a workout, however, if you want a decent aerobic workout without putting on your shoes and heading out the door, this is a great find.
Customer Review: A good product
Like Bodycraft stuff--a good product for the home. Not really built for commercial use but clearly does the job at home. The build is good enough neither creaky nor rock solid--the front end plastic--is just that plastic. The machine is not quiet--no unhealthy grating sounds, just a lot of wind noise. Computer is iffy--heartrate monitor doesn't work with the exercise--too much chest motion. Still, unless you're some type of superathlete--this machine will do a very respectable conditioning job; of course you have to hold up your end of the bargain. I don't know if I can beleive the calorie count but I can burn 800 in 30 minutes at 45 strokes a minute--and machine recommends 60 to 70 strokes a minute. So a reasonable machine for around the house. Not superb but very good.

Customer Review: Excellent addition to Home Gym
I live in a condo where none of the doorways have enough room on both sides to use one of those doorway pull-up bars, but I've always wanted to find something since pull-ups are such an excellent upper body exercise. I first found this product in Skymall magazine for roughly the same price including shipping that it was listed by this seller. I was somewhat worried about how much space it would take up and how sturdy it would be but I found it relatively easy to put together and very soundly built. My only suggestion is that I would avoid putting it on a carpeted surface if possible. I have a cheap foam mat on top of my carpet and the tower sits on top of the mat. It seems to be stable enough on that but I would recommend a hard flat surface if possible. When it was on just carpet that was relatively plush it did have a bit of a wobble but at no time doing either pull-ups or dips did it begin to tip over.
Customer Review: Great addition to your home gymj
This Weider 200 Power Tower is a terrific piece for your home gym at a great deal. I've owned it for over two weeks and have been extremely pleased. It's a very sturdy piece of equipment and was easy to construct. It took me less than an hour to put it together with my son. The only tools you'll need are two adjustable wrenches and a phillips head screwdriver. The instructions are well written and simple to follow. This is what I like about this pull-up tower: 1.Sturdiness: I weigh about 200lbs and there is very little bouncing or shaking when I do pull-ups, dips, or leg raises. It's designed with two long stabilization skids that help to prevent shaking. Of course there will always be some bouncing / shaking with these towers, unless you buy a commercial pull-up tower (usually starting at over $500) or bolt yours to the floor. I keep mine in my garage, not bolted to the floor, and it shakes only very slightly. I've tried kipping pull-ups as well with no issues. 2.Dimensions: At 85 inches tall this item will fit in any room with 8 foot ceiling, which is fairly standard in most houses. This gives you plenty of clearance for your head in a room with 8' or higher ceiling. 3.Overall design: The pull-up bar has decent padding that won't quickly wear down. The push-up bars are placed far enough from the lower cross bar to give you plenty head clearance. The pull-up bar is on the opposite side from the dips / leg raise side, giving you plenty of room to do your pull-ups, especially if you do kipping pull-ups, knees to elbows, or angles to the bar. I've tried all of these exercises on this machine with no problems. I've also hung gymnastics rings from the pull-up bar to do suspended pushups. At about $180 including shipping, I think the Weider 200 Power Tower is a good deal for a really nice addition to your home gym.

Customer Review: very well made
The sticker on the bottom of this thing says "American Designed - and very well made in China". Well, they ain't kidding. This is one hell of a nice piece of equipment. For starters, the shipping weight is 42 lbs. This thing is built like a truck. They use heavy steel box-sections for the frame, and the bolt flanges are welded all the way around, not just tacked. The bolts are beautifully plated, and they use nylon-collar lock nuts rather than a pile of split washers. In case you are wondering from looking at the photo, yes, this thing is tall. The bars are at 53" off the floor. For me, its great since I'm 6'3". However, there is also a cross bar at just the right height to use as a step when mounting. They include strips of no-slip tape to put on it, which is great. Another thing I was trying to figure out from the photo was how wide the grips are spaced. If your wondering, they have a center-to-center spacing of 21" at the front, and taper outward to 23.5" at the widest possible grip position. The bars themselves are nice and fat at 1.5" in diameter with tough rubber grips. This thing could definitely survive in a gym environment. The plastic end-caps on the feet are very well made, but are really for carpet. If you have wood floors like me, you will want to put a pad under them. I plan to just buy some adhesive rubber bumpers from the hardware store. The company apparently does not make a chin up attachment for this unit, which is a shame since the base is definitely stable enough to support one. I plan to bolt extensions on to the vertical members and attach one. I was planning to do this all along, which is the main reason I bought this instead of a lighter model. Call me obsessive, but I really wanted a dip station with full length bars, and all the combo dip/chin stations I saw had only little stub handles for the dip. Assembly involves tightening just eight bolts. You will need a couple of 3/4" wrenches, or an adjustable wrench and a pair of pliers. They also include a bottle of touch-up paint. If you're wondering, the paint color is sort of a dull metalic silver-gray. Overall, these guys clearly take pride in their work. Its very well made with great attention to detail, and even though it's more expensive that some others here, I think its a bargain for the price.

Pull Up Chin Up Push Up Sit Up Multi Function Bar

Customer Review: Doesnt fit at all!!!
So I bought this for my boyfriend because he would like to workout when hes in my apt, since he wouldnt be able to go to the gym. Once it came and we put it together, it didnt fit any of my door frames because the curved part of the bar is too long.... I dont know what kinfd of door the guy in the picture is using it on but it was def NO WHERE CLOSE TO fitting my doors..... so now he uses it just for the dips, but we were SO disappointed because the main reason he wanted it was for the pull-ups. The only reason i didnt send it back was because I didnt feel like going through the extra hassle.
Customer Review: Nice product
If you want to do pull ups this thing works. Just make sure that you a door with a frame so that the hooks on top can latch on. I do pull-ups hanging out of my front door for all my neighbors to see because that is the only door in my apartment that has a frame.

Customer Review: Way too small
When I purchased two of these (pale green and black) there was no review. As the other reviewer mentioned, these bags are way too small. My regular size yoga mat doesn't fit on the side of this bag. My green bag started tear apart on the side less than a month of very lightly used so I don't think these are quality bags. They look nice and that's all. They don't feel soft (rather rough) so unless you are wearing t-shirts, the shoulder straps and straps at the lower back will rip off the clothings. I also don't like the handle, which is very uncomfortable for the back of the neck (at least for me in the summer in DC). I paid ~$19 each of these bags but I am willing to pay more for quality backpacks, such as SwissGear by Wenger and amazon often offer with good price.
Customer Review: Good but a bit too small
This pack is of excellent quality. From looking at it far away you can tell this is a quality pack. It really does shine from a distance. And upon closer inspection, you will appreciate everything is stitched perfectly. The material is thick and padding on the back is also thick yet soft, making it very comfortable to wear. However, its a bit too small. You can't really pack a lot of things in there. Its smaller than the ususal backpack - it feels more like a kid's pack.
