FULL UPPER BODY WORKOUT EQUIPMENT: GoFitness Super Push Down Bar acts as your personal workout trainer – helping you build a bigger and stronger chest rapidly. More than just a chest muscle builder, the GoFitness upper body exerciser can also be used to target precise muscle groups to accelerate growth, enhance definition and increase strength – including chest, arms, abs, shoulders and back.
EASILY TRAIN DIFFERENT MUSCLE GROUPS: Unlike resistance bands, you don’t need doors, rafters, beams, or trees to attach to. Just pick up your GoFitness Push Down Bar, and get a targeted workout with a variety of different movements. Resistance ranges from 30 lbs to 110 lbs, and is suitable for both men and women, beginners or veterans alike.
BUILD A BETTER CHEST: Use for just 10 minutes a day for chest exercise, three to four days a week, to build a chiseled chest. For men – it will help you pump up your pecs and build a bigger, stronger chest; For women – it will help you train your pectorals and naturally lift your breasts.
THE PERFECT SPRING WORKOUT DEVICE: Built with 4 super-tough, steel springs. These high grade springs can withstand even the most intense workout sessions. The springs are compressed, which is different from the power twister that required users to twist the springs. Our improved design provides a better range of motion, and eliminates any risk of rebound and breakage. Four springs work together to make the resistance output more uniform, and therefore stimulate muscles more efficiently.
PORTABLE: Our workout equipment can be easily stored in your home or office and is conveniently compact for travel. With a lightweight design that makes transporting your portable home gym a breeze, GoFitness upper body exercise equipment means you never have to skip a workout.

Great tool for an at-home workout
Bought this product to get a good workout in at home. I like this product in comparison to the spring loaded bars because you can target more muscle groups. There are a bunch of different exercises you can do to target the different muscles and there is a manual included that shows you the variations of exercise. This is a great alternative to dumbbells for a good bicep pump. I tend to get bored easily working out from home but this keeps me occupied.I’m a 32yo female and the 50lb one was too light for me. I am relatively athletic so the 50lb might be ok for some beginners but for me it was too easy. I reached out to the seller to exchange it and I had new 70lb one show up to my door two days later. Incredible customer service that you can rely on if you’re worried about ordering the wrong weight.

Great Product!
I really like this product, the super push down bar is extremely convenient and easy to use. I purchased it to be able train upper body without having to go the the gym and using a machine for pec flys for example, or having to use dumbbells. It’s very useful for those that travel a lot or just want to have a quick and easy way to work out upper body for instance.

Quality product and excellent customer service
I purchased the 70lb elementary level push down bar and quickly found that would not be enough tension for my workouts. There was a card that came in the box with instructions how to contact GoFitness for any issues with resistance or the product. Within hours I had an email response from Mike who was eager to help me with the next level of resistance. The 90lb was sent to me by mail very quickly. Mike even let me keep the 70lb as well and my wife has been using that. I find some way to integrate the GoFitness Push Down Bar into all my work outs and I look forward to any new products that GoFitness may come up with the in the future. Thanks for the excellent customer service Mike!

There is hope of a fitter me..
I took delivery of the 70lb version but as an over 65 guy the tension was a bit too much. I emailed the company about the problem and got a swift courteous reply saying they would send me a 50lb version free of charge and no need to return the original. It arrived about a week later and I have just completed my first set of chest, shoulder and abs exercises. A full programme of exercises is set out by week and day with pictures of each of the exercises. This is brilliant and will help me keep on track. The spring bar is excellent quality and comfortable to hold. I am delighted. Thank you Gofitness. 😊

Noticeable changes in chest after a few weeks
I’ve been using this product regularly for the past few weeks and I will say I’ve begun to notice more definition and toning in my chest area which is what I was hoping for. I don’t expect to get ripped, but that was never my intention when I purchased this product. There is a pamphlet included that show different exercises, but it can be a little confusing on how to execute them properly at first, but I managed to get the hang of it so that I feel the burn of the muscles I’m trying to workout. The device itself is quite sturdy and well constructed. I do plan on buying the higher lb versions in the future. My husband also started using it just to help stretch his back and shoulder muscles to help alleviate problems from a past car accident and it’s been helping him do that as well.

Exceptionally good tool to build your upper body muscles!
I ordered the GoFitness 70lb push down bar. Having tried the product for a few days, I already felt the effectiveness of using it. My chest muscle started to grow. I’m pretty satisfied with this product since it is designed to let you build multiple parts of muscles in your upper body. The only regret was I started to feel that the 70lb is a little too easy to me. I contacted the GoFitness customer service and asked them if there would be any way to adjust the strings for a higher level of resistance. To my surprise, they offered me the 90lb push down bar without even asking me to return the 70lb one! Such an exceptional customer service with customers satisfaction being the top priority was so impressive to me! I highly recommend GoFitness super push down bar to anyone who would like to build upper body muscles!

Easy to use no worries
Gofitness is easy to use and techique is built in.Most chest exercises are hard and technique is everything. If you do the exercise wrong you are just wasting time.With Gofitness the technique is built into the device so you do the proper exercise each time.You get results and do not waste time.I started with the 70 pound resistance and have now progressed to the 90 pound.I will update when I progress to the next level.Highly recommended

Solid product, great customer service
In terms of chest expanders, this is the best I’ve used in terms of actually isolating the chest. Gives a consistent tension at the top of the movement that I can’t achieve with dumbbell flyes. Also gives me an additional way to do ab crunches which I enjoy. Essentially it’s a solid supplement to my dumbbell setup.Customer service was top notch – responded fast to concerns I had with resistance level and sent me appropriate model at no extra charge.

This Company is very Professional and Caring and makes a good product, packaged W/Inst. & Diags.
I had originally purchased a 70lb version of the Push Down Bar, but with a previous Rt shoulder injury was unable to compress fully, so I contacted the seller as Amazon did not have the next step down which was a 50lb version, I was fully ready as explained to the seller to send it back and buy a 50lb if available, they were very gracious and caring and just told me to keep the 70lb and they would send me a 50lb NO Charge. I received the item and have started using it’s still just a little difficult for me but can already feel the effects of the work out, I should be able to progress up the scale according to my plans. Thank you GOFITNESS, Thank you Mike for being patient with me through my Emails and helping me out, I hope your company continues to grow. Bob

A great fitness aid. Its all you need!
I bought this item originally and it was the lower resistance. Still useful but I needed some extra resistance. I contacted Mike at Gofitness and he immediately sent me the higher resistance model free of charge.I received it this week and its what I’ve been looking for. I’ve found by adjusting it certain angles and holding it by my head or lower down by abdomen, I can get a full workout. I can get a solid workout on chest, biceps and triceps and stomach. Great, useful and the customer support is second to none. Highly recommended. Thanks mike!

Quality product and company
This product is a must have , one of the best workout gadgets I’ve ever owned , I originally bought the 90lb version , it’s has alot of resistance , I do many exercises with it , really great for triceps push downs ,curls ,and I do version of a push up flys with it , loved the product so much I bought the 50 lb version because I wanted to get a deep stretch on the chest flys , it was perfect for that , I also do biceps and forearms with this version , it’s substantially easier then the 90lb version , came with a little suggestion card , and I loved the product so much I decided to reach out to the company and give them my thoughts on the product and certain specifications I’d be interested in , and I was blown away when they told me they were currently manufacturing the version I was interested in and that they wanted to send me one for free , and they did ! I never had any company do that for me , not only do they make quality products , but whoever decided to send me that had a good heart , that was awesome , I recommend you check them out !

Great piece of exercise equipment!
I have to say I was skeptical when I first saw this piece of exercise equipment. I was pleasantly surprised! You really feel the contraction of muscles and I can feel it working, however the resistance in the 70 lb version that I ordered was not enough for me. This is where this company’s customer service really impressed me. I emailed them to ask them if I could exchange for another one with greater resistance, and they told me that they were gonna send the 90 lb version to me and I could keep the other one! I received it the next business day! Unbelievable! When combined with cardio and done on a regular basis I’m sure this will build muscle and create a defined physique. I definitely recommend it!

Great Product and Great Service!
I purchased the 70lb pushdown bar. I thought this would be enough to help with my chest workouts. The resistance was a little less than I expected, so I emailed GoFitness to see what I had to do to return the product for an exchange. GoFitness responded immediately and said that for my troubles they would send the 90lb pushdown bar for free, and I would not need to send back the original bar that I purchased. I was beyond grateful for their kindness, and I honestly received the new bar within 3 business days from UPS. I would highly recommend the purchase of the bar for a great chest workout. I would also recommend the product due to the fact that GoFitness backs their product and their word.

Best Customer Service
I have greatly enjoyed using this in my chest workout! It really targets your inner and outer chest unlike a bench press or machine would do. My chest has looked tighter and bigger, more defined ever since using this product.All that said, I needed to replace my 90lb with a 70lb version. The 50lb was good but I quickly mastered that and wanted the stronger options. After I received the 90lb version, I noticed I was too weak to do this in the 8-12 rep range. But, I saw the notice that if you have a resistance problem, contact them directly. I received an email back within the hour and a free 70lb version sent to me with expedited shipping. So, impressed. Have never had better customer service!Grant

Great resistance. Kinda awkward to use at times. Hard on the elbow joints, ligaments. It’s legit though trying to close this thing when doing it with one hand each on each end trying to close it like the guy in the picture. It will test most people who are just starting out working out.

Nice resistance training adjunct.
I have been resistance training for over 40 years, primarily with weights. But every so often I like to mix it up just for the mental break and novelty of trying something different. This exerciser fits the bill. A different way of training the chest and bi/triceps, not as useful for back, but versatile enough for a good work out.The unit is well made, sturdy and comfortable to use. Beware of the resistance level advertised. I consider myself strong – but 70 lbs. is a lot! Especially when you consider most of the exercises are going to be done with 1 arm (biceps, triceps, shoulders, etc.) I would check the ego and go one level lower then you think. For an average man who has not done much resistance training I would definitely look at the 50 lb. resistance. Also, I cannot say enough about the company’s customer service, they really worked with me to get the right resistance. Thank you Gofitness!

Great portable chest workout!
I really like this piece of equipment. It’s lightweight, but you can really get a nice pump. I use it mainly for the chest exercises. It’s a great addition to a home gym or for someone who’s on the go looking for something they can take with them. I highly recommend giving it a shot

Quick and Easy
The best part of this product is you can just pick it up and get at it. You can get creative and use it for different exercise variations or just stick to basic use. Either way you choose, you will feel it if you’re putting in the work. The tension coils can sometimes get a little imbalanced on one side, but that’s an easy fix. Just flip it and do another set to offset the slight resistance variation. I’ve seen and felt results with regular use, which I was happy to see. Because I was definitely skeptical of this when I bought it and was hoping it wasn’t a waste of my money.

Great equipment!
I purchased the GoFitness Push Down Bar Machine (90 lbs) as an addition to other fitness equipments to enhance my workout routines. I am not a gym person, so over the years I’ve bought many exercise machines that I can use at home. I was not disappointed when the Push Down Bar was delivered. It’s solid and well crafted.I decided to try some of the suggested workout programs included in the package and realized I could handle some of the reps and sets comfortably with the 90 lbs Bar, others were a bit of a challenge, whereas in a couple of exercises I figured I could challenge myself with a higher resistance Bar. So a few days after ordering the 90 lbs Bar, I also ordered the 70 lbs Bar for those routines that I needed a lower resistance for more sets and reps. I wanted to order the 110 lbs Push Down Bar Machine, but I knew I had to wait since it wasn’t feasible financially at the time.I reached out to GoFitness to see if a discount could be extended so I could purchase the machine. GoFitness reached out within the hour, and after a couple of quick communications they helped me reach my goal.I’ve set aside my other workout equipments for now, and I’m enjoying using the Push Down Bar Machines. Great product, greater investment!I’ve been an Amazon customer for years, and this is only my second review. My first review was in 2007.Also, one must note that the equipments are not adjustable… they come in different resistance levels, and it’s a great fitness investment if you decide to get just one (based on your fitness level and needs), or if you decide to get various resistance Push Down Bar Machines. Either way, it’s a quality product.

Product is great and well built
At first I thought this product would not have enough resistance for exercising the chest area. But after a few sets of 15 reps you can really feel the tension and burn in the chest area. I opted for the 90lb, but for my triceps, I would probably have to go with the 110lb push down bar. Also customer service is prompt and very responsive!Great product and customer service!

Rock Climber’s must have workout gear
This workout gear is simply next level for climbers. I don’t always have access to a pull-up bar but I want to work out the similar muscle groups I get from one arm pull ups. I can get that with their highest pound tension gear.The exercises I get out of this to help me with climbing are:1. Lock off and one arm pull up simulation2. Compression simulation3. Pull down with both arms for double arm lock offsThe other exercises I get out of this:1. Simulation of recurve or compound bow pull at various pounds of pull2. Side pull at different angles3. Simulated one arm chin up like pullI am sure there are more things I can do with this, but these exercises provide me with a workout I need for my purposes. Hands down, I have yet to find another piece of gear that gets my workout done in minutes that I would need to usually drive to the gym for. There are exercises I cannot do with even gym gear to isolate the muscle groups I want to work.I highly recommend this gear for climbers, and depends on your climbing level, get the various compression levels as some workouts will be difficult at the highest compression model they offer. I increased one grade level in a month (intermediate grades) just by working out some muscle groups outside of just climbing.Hope this helps.

(GOFITNESS IS AN EXCELLENT COMPANY!!!)
I honestly don’t know where to start. There are so many honest things that I’m going to say about both The Company and Their Equipment. Both are Excellent!Mike- Go Fitness is so considerate in every way! No, I’m not getting paid to sponsor this company nor their product. I’m just a verified customer, who now has various Resistant Pound Super Pushdown Bars from GoFitness (I absolutely love their Equipment!)To get into these items:PROS: 1. You will get great workouts from these! Especially, when you use them correctly! 2. They are Engineered very well! They are very sturdy! They will last for quite a while for sure! 3. The exercises you can perform with these are multiple! A variety of muscles on your upper body and your abs, shoulders, chest, back and arms, Etc… can be developed with this Equipment!CONS: There are none at all.Mike- Go Fitness.. As long as I’ve been on Amazon- Which goes back some years. I’ve honestly never came across any Seller like Mike. His Business Model: His Moral and Ethics are Supreme! He really puts his heart and his soul into making sure that his customers are satisfied. He will even sacrifice! Just to make it happen! He is such a Sincere Minded Vessel. I simply haven’t encountered any other Seller like him before. This is the unadulterated Truth! I’m going to be suggesting this item to other people.Attention: Anyone whose reading this review: I assure you, that investing in this equipment will be well worth your money and your time. Your body will appreciate it!I’ve Pushdown Bars from two other Companies/Sellers. And I’ll sincerily say this: Their Equipment is ok. I don’t at all knock them. But in truth, they aren’t the premium quality of GoFitness SuperPushDown Bars.The springs on those by other companies seem to be lesser in quality when using them.GoFitness made their springs Premium Quality on theirs. Also, GoFitness sends their Equipment in nice boxes that show People on them using their PushDown Bars in various exercising positions. On their boxes, you can also see the various parts of the body that it helps to sculpt on it.The other companies just send theirs in a plain box. You take the equipment out and that is it.Also, GoFitness–Sends you a workout pad with their Equipment! With that pad- It allows you to do ab work, Etc…There are honestly so many perks that come with purchasing from GoFitness… You can’t at all go wrong.I highly recommend this product!!! I’m so glad that I now have Several… I give much thanks to Mike!He has gracefully resolved any situation that I had questions about.I hope and pray that his business flourishes!!! He/his company is well deserving of it!!!I know that he will! Because, of how Sincere and Upfront that he is as a Sincere and Honest Business Man!!!He will be blessed! Because of how he is by his actions! The Universal Laws of Cause N Effect are going to Bless him with having a lot of success! Not only in this Business, but in other areas of his life too.Please do yourselves a favor! Purchase this Equipment from GoFitness! You will not regret it’s many benefits! that will come from using it! I guarantee you!Thank you so much GoFitness!!!P.S. I wish that I could give him a 100 Stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐But giving 5 is only allowed.

Useful workout device
This is a decent workout gizmo. Provides a good pump in the chest and in the upper arms and shoulders. It’s solid and sturdy enough for its intended use. That being said for the price this device should have a little higher grade molded plastic on it and should not make as much noise as it does when compressing it. Not a huge deal breaker just a few things to consider before spending 80 dollars for the strongman version(90lbs). It does not provide as much of a mind to muscle connection as power twister bars but does have another way of activating the muscles differently imo. All in all I like it but probably wouldn’t of bought it out of my own pocket if I didn’t have the reward points to cover the cost.

70 pounds resistance is too much 3.5 star rating 4 or more if you could adjust resistance.
I was not use the device as is, luckily there are two sets of springs on this device. There is a skinnier set of springs and a larger set of springs. I used a screw driver to remove the top and bottom screw of one side and removed the handle and the two purple O rings. Then I removed the skinnier set of springs on top and bottom. Now only the larger springs are on the Gofitness and now I can use the device for all the excercises. Did not see if the smaller spring has less resistance so that might be a possibilty for those that can not still use this. It could be that both springs have the same amount of resistance but not really sure. Now I like the device. Otherwise you would need to be someone who is a wieght lifter like the guy pictured using it. My complaint is that the resistance is not adjustable, if they could have done that it would make this much more usable. So the quality of the item is very good, it is light and gives a good amount of resistance with 1 set of springs for me, for those that are body builder will like the resistance with 2 springs. It feels very sturdy and the screws have a notch cut out to keep the nuts from coming off which is great for safety. This is not as good as actually having wieghts or pro machine, but for what it is, it is very good. I bought it for the chest squeezing exercise. Some of the exercise are not so usefully as the device might be a little bit too long. I would give this a 3.5 star rating, 4 or more if it was adjustable resistance. I believe it is over priced but it is made well.The company just tried to offer me $50 and keep the product if I give them a 5 star review. I have heard of this but this is the first time some one has tried to buy my review. My ratings and review is not changing on this product.

Isometrics and PAP with Push Downs
I love these so much I’ve ordered three. The convenience and effectiveness are strong selling points. One feature that I like is that is very easy to incorporate isometric training.If you are not familiar with isometrics, then I recommend the YouTube video:BENCH LIKE A BEAST: Utilizing Isometric MovementsIt features world-class powerlifters doing bench press isometrics and although they don’t explicitly say Post Activation Potentiation (PAP) it’s effect is noted.Most of what I know about isometrics I learned from the book DESIGNING RESISTANCE TRAINING PROGRAMS 4th edition.It has summaries of isometrics studies. Its Table 2.2 – Guidelines to Increase Hypertrophy With Isometrics Training has three intensity ranges with the lowest going as low as 30% of MVIA (Maximum Voluntary Isometric Action) and repetition duration as long as 60 seconds.The book also has some discussion of PAP.For some PressDown exercises I can’t completely compress the springs so I just compress them as far as I can for as long as I can. I am seeing progress using this approach.

Quality and Durable Product with Excellent Customer Service
I wasn’t sure which weight I should get between the 70 lb. or 50 lb. one, so I opted for the 70 lb. one. My first impression after taking it out of the box is that it’s pretty big, and feels very strong and durable; it wasn’t flimsy and didn’t feel cheap at all, as I was a little skeptical of when ordering. So, if you’re on the fence about ordering, know that this feels durable and strong, and should be a long-lasting product…The thing you need to figure out when ordering is trying to get the right weight for you. After trying the product out I had a hard time pulling the bars all the way for the chest exercise. I could still get a work-out, but I was hoping to be able to consistently get a full extension when using. The item came with a card that said if the resistance is too much or too little, to send an email and they will take care of you…So, I contacted customer service and told them the resistance for the 70 lb. bar was a bit too much for me, and around 24 hours later they responded back and told me they would ship out the 50 lb. bar. So, the 50 lb. bar arrived just a few days later, and it’s easier to use and I can get a full extension on the chest exercise, but it’s still pretty strenuous; or at least it is for me. But I think the more I use it, the stronger I’ll get, therefore the easier it will be to use…I honestly think they should make a 30 lb. bar, as I think that would still provide a strong workout for some; at the very least it would be a great tool to use for toning-up. I have suggested this to customer service, and they said they will take that into consideration. I think this company is trying to produce a product that will eventually become a common household product, and with some adjustments, such as a 30 lb. bar being added to the store, I could see that happening.

Go Fitness Push Down Exerciser Review
Go Fitness Push Down equipment is a great upper body excerciser, made with quality materials, its lightweight and you can take it anywhere. I rate this product 5 ☆☆☆☆☆I’m a 205 lbs person that can bench press 315 lbs and have purchased the 90 lbs resistance exerciser. I have to say it can be challenging on certain exercises like the curls and chest squeeze. But it’s perfect and it give you that pump and burn that you want from a good exercise equipment.I recently obtain the 110 lbs resistance exerciser and it is a real challenge that I need to work my way up to.My friends who are heavy weight powerlifters love the 110 lbs resistance exerciser. Which these guys are monsters and this pro resistance level was made for them.The Resistance Level Break Down• If you want a deep and high repetition. for that bodybuilding burn…Get the 70 lbs resistance.• Get the 90 lbs if you want a challenge in strength and/or graduated from the 70 lbs resistance level.• If you are a heavy weight powerlifter that want to go into Beast mode, get the 110 lbs level of resistance. Note: These powerlifters who tried the 110 lbs level of resistance benched well over 400 + lbs that can compress the Go Fitness exerciser to it’s full contraction which I have to say is no joke.Anyways, I hope that this can help those in choosing the right resistance level when purchasing this item.Overall, Go Fitness is an outstanding company that provides a quality product in their push down exerciser.Their customer service is #1 and they will respond back to you quickly if you have any issues with your exerciser. Refer to their customer service card included in the box.I look forward to future purchases with Go Fitness.Thank you.A.N

Great Portable Workout!
I was looking for something for a good Chest workout and this has worked out real well. It also offers a variety of exercises for a full body workout. It looks easy but the resistance gives you a tough workout. I started off with the 90 lbs and quickly realized that I had to go to a lower resistance. Contacted the company and within days I received the 70lbs which is more manageable for me. Great customer service! I am 69 years young and I take this with me to work, travel, and use it on days that I cannot get to the gym for resistance training. It is well made/sturdy and I can begin to see the difference on my chest. I am looking forward to graduating to the 90lbs. I will post an update with results soon.

Phenomenal Product
Have been looking for an innovative piece of equipment for multiple uses and the Go Fitness Bar is absolutely excellent. If you are a serious lifter (I am) it functions for me as a chest warm up exercise and replaces bands for stretching prior to my workout. If you are new to working out and need a little motivation in a small space, this is a bar for you. The Go Fitness folks designed a bar for multiple uses and there is a guide to get you a full workout using one piece of equipment. One other thing that is so rare these days. I had a minor question about the product and sent an e mail to the company and got a response within minutes. I will always support companies who understand that best products do not often win but the best companies do……and I am a Go Fitness customer for life.

Amazing Isometric Device!
I don’t typically write product reviews; however in this case I felt compelled to write one. If you’re aware of isometric exercises and their benefits, this device is excellent! I use it at home as a supplement to my regular weight training in the gym and I love it! It’s portability and versatility are A+ in my opinion, and you will definitely get a good workout. One final note, the customer service department is very responsive if you have any questions or issues.

Much more useful than I originally thought!
I was skeptical of this thing. I had my doubts about how much it’d help versus the dumbbells of mine that just broke. I’ve been using this each day for the last 3 weeks and I’m really surprised at how quickly I saw results.Something I’ve been especially happy with that I wasn’t expecting: unlike a dumbbell where it’s all or nothing with a specific weight- if it’s too hard to press these all the way, you can use a smaller amount of pressure on these, and still complete a full set. You’ll still have room to grow.The 70 lb bar I originally bought was too light of a resistance, but they quickly sent me the next level bar at no cost. They were very helpful- thank you!

Smooth Resistance and Versatility
I bought this product primarily for pectoral workouts because it replicates the compression function of pec fly machines in the typical gym environment. But I also found the product to be useful for abdominal crutches as well. Those exercises are the most important to me because, as an 80 year old senior, I want to maintain upper body tone even though building muscle at my age is quite difficult. There are numerous other exercises that can also be done with this device. It fits nicely in the bottom of a suitcase so vacation workouts are possible. The device is well made, and I really like the smooth compression of the two springs that provide resistance. I think it is possible to start with low resistance and then step it up as strength improves. Mike at GoFitness provides great customer service and is always interested in suggestions. I think his company will continue to innovate and market similar devices that the home workout enthusiasts will enjoy using to avoid the cost and travel time needed for a gym membership.

Best work out product !!!!
I would like to say this is and amazing product. I was very hesitant on ordering this because I was unsure about the resistance. Must I say customer service is the best. My product arrived asap. The 70lbs resistance was too light for me, I reached out to customer service and they sent me the next level resistance 90lbs asap AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!!!! I am a truck driver and you can use this on the go, small places…. With so many different workouts at your finger tips. This is a must buy product hands down

Works for Me.
Have the 50 and 70 pound versions. I am 73 have FSHD Muscular Dystrophy and nearly lost my legs in Vietnam. Have to use a Wheelchair outside because of Strength and Balance problems. I’m a mess! Had to stop going to the Gym when Covid hit, but was heading that way anyways. These are GREAT pieces of Equipment for me and probably anyone else. I use both in my office chair 4 or 5 times a week. The 50 has gotten to easy for most exercises but the 70 still works for most (though I’m moving up soon). Not all muscle groups are created equal, and I like training options. I have been doing some style of weight training for over 60 years and reality has taken me here. I have gotten Stronger using these and they keep me in the Game. I would have given them 5 stars but the 70 has begun to make noise with the spring grinding on the bars. If someone provides me with solution I’ll be ordering the 90 next.

What level of resistance to buy
I initially ordered the machine with 70lbs. of resistance but it was unable to get the full range of motion for the basic chest exercise as shown in the video -which was surprising, since at age 70 I still have the arms and shoulders of a safety in the NFL and also larger and stronger pectoral muscles than the average male of any age and can still bench press a 150lbs. I emailed the company to tell then this and they sent me a machine with 50lbs. of resistance and I was thus able to get the full range of motion on the basic chest exercise. Thus I would advise male customers to order the machine with 50lbs. of resistance unless they are as young and big and strong and muscular as college and NFL football players or body-builders who can bench press at least 200 lbs.Since women on average are not nearly as big and strong and muscular as men and have breasts rather than large pectoral muscles, I doubt that any female, with exception of a few extraordinary amazons, could get the full range of motion on the basic chest exercise, so perhaps the company could have machines with 30 or 20 or even 10lbs. of resistance and perhaps also make devises that are slightly narrower. If so, they could sell more devises to women and also men who aren’t even strong enough to achieve the full range of motion on the basic chest exercise.The abdominal exercise is also effective as one can feel the muscles constrict and burn with the downward motion.

Easy, effective upper body exercise
I bought an upper body V shaped exerciser for use particularly during the stay at home during the pandemic. While I liked it, it only did one movement for the arms/chest. I then saw on Amazon the GoFitness Super Push Down Bar. In addition to the basic arm/chest compression of the V exerciser, the Push Down Bar provides for a number of exercises that help the arms, chest, back and abs. As I am getting older and concerned about keeping fit, this is an easy piece of equipment that I think will be useful and safe to use.The 5 different exercises described in the brochure are divided into two groups to do on alternate days. It gives a more rounded exercise routine for different days of the week.I had some suggestions for the descriptive literature that comes with the bars. The seller was very prompt and courteous with their response. I always like good customer service. It always makes me more confident in my purchases should issues ever arise. I recommend the Super Push Down Bar as a reasonably priced, easy to use piece of exercise equipment that takes up little space in a small apartment. I’m just starting to use it but I think it will be helpful in firming my core and upper body as I spend all of my days at home with little other exercise opportunities.

Very effective and satisfying exercise equipment
I couldn’t restrain myself from writing a glowing review. This is my first review on Amazon after being very active for many years on the platform. This product is very well built. I have been exercising for decades and thought I have seen everything when it comes to exercise machines. This piece of equipment is the first product that really impressed me in many years and surprised me with muscle growing results in expedited fashion. I highly recommend it to people who seriously desire to improve their physique. The customer service and product support of Mike – GoFitness is second to none. The rest of the vendors should learn from this small company and its principal. Just follow the instructions that are well presented and properly select intensity levels and you are set.

Good pec machine!
I purchased the 90lbs unit February 9, 2020; today I’m going to order the 110 lbs (January 4, 2021). I bought it solely to exercise my pecs. I wanted a dedicated pec machine for home use and the price and size of this made it a good gamble. When I started, three sets three times a week, I was doing about 10 reps. Now I’m doing three sets of 30 four days a week. I really like it, and recommend it for someone looking for a cheap pec machine that is a small device. The only thing I don’t like is that sometimes the springs catch or stick making for a not so smooth contraction. When that happens I turn it over or around and it is usually smooth again (that’s why I didn’t give it five stars). Mine is not loud like some reviews stated, and I can’t imagine hurting yourself with it if you don’t try to over do it.If you want a pec machine, buy this first!

Great tool for an at-home workout
Bought this product to get a good workout in at home. I like this product in comparison to the spring loaded bars because you can target more muscle groups. There are a bunch of different exercises you can do to target the different muscles and there is a manual included that shows you the variations of exercise. This is a great alternative to dumbbells for a good bicep pump. I tend to get bored easily working out from home but this keeps me occupied.I’m a 32yo female and the 50lb one was too light for me. I am relatively athletic so the 50lb might be ok for some beginners but for me it was too easy. I reached out to the seller to exchange it and I had new 70lb one show up to my door two days later. Incredible customer service that you can rely on if you’re worried about ordering the wrong weight.

I really like this product, the super push down bar is extremely convenient and easy to use. I purchased it to be able train upper body without having to go the the gym and using a machine for pec flys for example, or having to use dumbbells. It’s very useful for those that travel a lot or just want to have a quick and easy way to work out upper body for instance.

Quality product and excellent customer service
I purchased the 70lb elementary level push down bar and quickly found that would not be enough tension for my workouts. There was a card that came in the box with instructions how to contact GoFitness for any issues with resistance or the product. Within hours I had an email response from Mike who was eager to help me with the next level of resistance. The 90lb was sent to me by mail very quickly. Mike even let me keep the 70lb as well and my wife has been using that. I find some way to integrate the GoFitness Push Down Bar into all my work outs and I look forward to any new products that GoFitness may come up with the in the future. Thanks for the excellent customer service Mike!

There is hope of a fitter me..
I took delivery of the 70lb version but as an over 65 guy the tension was a bit too much. I emailed the company about the problem and got a swift courteous reply saying they would send me a 50lb version free of charge and no need to return the original. It arrived about a week later and I have just completed my first set of chest, shoulder and abs exercises. A full programme of exercises is set out by week and day with pictures of each of the exercises. This is brilliant and will help me keep on track. The spring bar is excellent quality and comfortable to hold. I am delighted. Thank you Gofitness. 😊

Noticeable changes in chest after a few weeks
I’ve been using this product regularly for the past few weeks and I will say I’ve begun to notice more definition and toning in my chest area which is what I was hoping for. I don’t expect to get ripped, but that was never my intention when I purchased this product. There is a pamphlet included that show different exercises, but it can be a little confusing on how to execute them properly at first, but I managed to get the hang of it so that I feel the burn of the muscles I’m trying to workout. The device itself is quite sturdy and well constructed. I do plan on buying the higher lb versions in the future. My husband also started using it just to help stretch his back and shoulder muscles to help alleviate problems from a past car accident and it’s been helping him do that as well.

Exceptionally good tool to build your upper body muscles!
I ordered the GoFitness 70lb push down bar. Having tried the product for a few days, I already felt the effectiveness of using it. My chest muscle started to grow. I’m pretty satisfied with this product since it is designed to let you build multiple parts of muscles in your upper body. The only regret was I started to feel that the 70lb is a little too easy to me. I contacted the GoFitness customer service and asked them if there would be any way to adjust the strings for a higher level of resistance. To my surprise, they offered me the 90lb push down bar without even asking me to return the 70lb one! Such an exceptional customer service with customers satisfaction being the top priority was so impressive to me! I highly recommend GoFitness super push down bar to anyone who would like to build upper body muscles!

Gofitness is easy to use and techique is built in.Most chest exercises are hard and technique is everything. If you do the exercise wrong you are just wasting time.With Gofitness the technique is built into the device so you do the proper exercise each time.You get results and do not waste time.I started with the 70 pound resistance and have now progressed to the 90 pound.I will update when I progress to the next level.Highly recommended

Solid product, great customer service
In terms of chest expanders, this is the best I’ve used in terms of actually isolating the chest. Gives a consistent tension at the top of the movement that I can’t achieve with dumbbell flyes. Also gives me an additional way to do ab crunches which I enjoy. Essentially it’s a solid supplement to my dumbbell setup.Customer service was top notch – responded fast to concerns I had with resistance level and sent me appropriate model at no extra charge.

This Company is very Professional and Caring and makes a good product, packaged W/Inst. & Diags.
I had originally purchased a 70lb version of the Push Down Bar, but with a previous Rt shoulder injury was unable to compress fully, so I contacted the seller as Amazon did not have the next step down which was a 50lb version, I was fully ready as explained to the seller to send it back and buy a 50lb if available, they were very gracious and caring and just told me to keep the 70lb and they would send me a 50lb NO Charge. I received the item and have started using it’s still just a little difficult for me but can already feel the effects of the work out, I should be able to progress up the scale according to my plans. Thank you GOFITNESS, Thank you Mike for being patient with me through my Emails and helping me out, I hope your company continues to grow. Bob

A great fitness aid. Its all you need!
I bought this item originally and it was the lower resistance. Still useful but I needed some extra resistance. I contacted Mike at Gofitness and he immediately sent me the higher resistance model free of charge.I received it this week and its what I’ve been looking for. I’ve found by adjusting it certain angles and holding it by my head or lower down by abdomen, I can get a full workout. I can get a solid workout on chest, biceps and triceps and stomach. Great, useful and the customer support is second to none. Highly recommended. Thanks mike!

This product is a must have , one of the best workout gadgets I’ve ever owned , I originally bought the 90lb version , it’s has alot of resistance , I do many exercises with it , really great for triceps push downs ,curls ,and I do version of a push up flys with it , loved the product so much I bought the 50 lb version because I wanted to get a deep stretch on the chest flys , it was perfect for that , I also do biceps and forearms with this version , it’s substantially easier then the 90lb version , came with a little suggestion card , and I loved the product so much I decided to reach out to the company and give them my thoughts on the product and certain specifications I’d be interested in , and I was blown away when they told me they were currently manufacturing the version I was interested in and that they wanted to send me one for free , and they did ! I never had any company do that for me , not only do they make quality products , but whoever decided to send me that had a good heart , that was awesome , I recommend you check them out !

Great piece of exercise equipment!
I have to say I was skeptical when I first saw this piece of exercise equipment. I was pleasantly surprised! You really feel the contraction of muscles and I can feel it working, however the resistance in the 70 lb version that I ordered was not enough for me. This is where this company’s customer service really impressed me. I emailed them to ask them if I could exchange for another one with greater resistance, and they told me that they were gonna send the 90 lb version to me and I could keep the other one! I received it the next business day! Unbelievable! When combined with cardio and done on a regular basis I’m sure this will build muscle and create a defined physique. I definitely recommend it!

Great Product and Great Service!
I purchased the 70lb pushdown bar. I thought this would be enough to help with my chest workouts. The resistance was a little less than I expected, so I emailed GoFitness to see what I had to do to return the product for an exchange. GoFitness responded immediately and said that for my troubles they would send the 90lb pushdown bar for free, and I would not need to send back the original bar that I purchased. I was beyond grateful for their kindness, and I honestly received the new bar within 3 business days from UPS. I would highly recommend the purchase of the bar for a great chest workout. I would also recommend the product due to the fact that GoFitness backs their product and their word.

Best Customer Service
I have greatly enjoyed using this in my chest workout! It really targets your inner and outer chest unlike a bench press or machine would do. My chest has looked tighter and bigger, more defined ever since using this product.All that said, I needed to replace my 90lb with a 70lb version. The 50lb was good but I quickly mastered that and wanted the stronger options. After I received the 90lb version, I noticed I was too weak to do this in the 8-12 rep range. But, I saw the notice that if you have a resistance problem, contact them directly. I received an email back within the hour and a free 70lb version sent to me with expedited shipping. So, impressed. Have never had better customer service!Grant

Great resistance. Kinda awkward to use at times. Hard on the elbow joints, ligaments. It’s legit though trying to close this thing when doing it with one hand each on each end trying to close it like the guy in the picture. It will test most people who are just starting out working out.

Nice resistance training adjunct.
I have been resistance training for over 40 years, primarily with weights. But every so often I like to mix it up just for the mental break and novelty of trying something different. This exerciser fits the bill. A different way of training the chest and bi/triceps, not as useful for back, but versatile enough for a good work out.The unit is well made, sturdy and comfortable to use. Beware of the resistance level advertised. I consider myself strong – but 70 lbs. is a lot! Especially when you consider most of the exercises are going to be done with 1 arm (biceps, triceps, shoulders, etc.) I would check the ego and go one level lower then you think. For an average man who has not done much resistance training I would definitely look at the 50 lb. resistance. Also, I cannot say enough about the company’s customer service, they really worked with me to get the right resistance. Thank you Gofitness!

Quick and Easy
The best part of this product is you can just pick it up and get at it. You can get creative and use it for different exercise variations or just stick to basic use. Either way you choose, you will feel it if you’re putting in the work. The tension coils can sometimes get a little imbalanced on one side, but that’s an easy fix. Just flip it and do another set to offset the slight resistance variation. I’ve seen and felt results with regular use, which I was happy to see. Because I was definitely skeptical of this when I bought it and was hoping it wasn’t a waste of my money.

Great equipment!
I purchased the GoFitness Push Down Bar Machine (90 lbs) as an addition to other fitness equipments to enhance my workout routines. I am not a gym person, so over the years I’ve bought many exercise machines that I can use at home. I was not disappointed when the Push Down Bar was delivered. It’s solid and well crafted.I decided to try some of the suggested workout programs included in the package and realized I could handle some of the reps and sets comfortably with the 90 lbs Bar, others were a bit of a challenge, whereas in a couple of exercises I figured I could challenge myself with a higher resistance Bar. So a few days after ordering the 90 lbs Bar, I also ordered the 70 lbs Bar for those routines that I needed a lower resistance for more sets and reps. I wanted to order the 110 lbs Push Down Bar Machine, but I knew I had to wait since it wasn’t feasible financially at the time.I reached out to GoFitness to see if a discount could be extended so I could purchase the machine. GoFitness reached out within the hour, and after a couple of quick communications they helped me reach my goal.I’ve set aside my other workout equipments for now, and I’m enjoying using the Push Down Bar Machines. Great product, greater investment!I’ve been an Amazon customer for years, and this is only my second review. My first review was in 2007.Also, one must note that the equipments are not adjustable… they come in different resistance levels, and it’s a great fitness investment if you decide to get just one (based on your fitness level and needs), or if you decide to get various resistance Push Down Bar Machines. Either way, it’s a quality product.

Product is great and well built
At first I thought this product would not have enough resistance for exercising the chest area. But after a few sets of 15 reps you can really feel the tension and burn in the chest area. I opted for the 90lb, but for my triceps, I would probably have to go with the 110lb push down bar. Also customer service is prompt and very responsive!Great product and customer service!

Rock Climber’s must have workout gear
This workout gear is simply next level for climbers. I don’t always have access to a pull-up bar but I want to work out the similar muscle groups I get from one arm pull ups. I can get that with their highest pound tension gear.The exercises I get out of this to help me with climbing are:1. Lock off and one arm pull up simulation2. Compression simulation3. Pull down with both arms for double arm lock offsThe other exercises I get out of this:1. Simulation of recurve or compound bow pull at various pounds of pull2. Side pull at different angles3. Simulated one arm chin up like pullI am sure there are more things I can do with this, but these exercises provide me with a workout I need for my purposes. Hands down, I have yet to find another piece of gear that gets my workout done in minutes that I would need to usually drive to the gym for. There are exercises I cannot do with even gym gear to isolate the muscle groups I want to work.I highly recommend this gear for climbers, and depends on your climbing level, get the various compression levels as some workouts will be difficult at the highest compression model they offer. I increased one grade level in a month (intermediate grades) just by working out some muscle groups outside of just climbing.Hope this helps.

(GOFITNESS IS AN EXCELLENT COMPANY!!!)
I honestly don’t know where to start. There are so many honest things that I’m going to say about both The Company and Their Equipment. Both are Excellent!Mike- Go Fitness is so considerate in every way! No, I’m not getting paid to sponsor this company nor their product. I’m just a verified customer, who now has various Resistant Pound Super Pushdown Bars from GoFitness (I absolutely love their Equipment!)To get into these items:PROS: 1. You will get great workouts from these! Especially, when you use them correctly! 2. They are Engineered very well! They are very sturdy! They will last for quite a while for sure! 3. The exercises you can perform with these are multiple! A variety of muscles on your upper body and your abs, shoulders, chest, back and arms, Etc… can be developed with this Equipment!CONS: There are none at all.Mike- Go Fitness.. As long as I’ve been on Amazon- Which goes back some years. I’ve honestly never came across any Seller like Mike. His Business Model: His Moral and Ethics are Supreme!

But in truth, they aren’t the premium quality of GoFitness SuperPushDown Bars.The springs on those by other companies seem to be lesser in quality when using them.GoFitness made their springs Premium Quality on theirs. Also, GoFitness sends their Equipment in nice boxes that show People on them using their PushDown Bars in various exercising positions. On their boxes, you can also see the various parts of the body that it helps to sculpt on it.The other companies just send theirs in a plain box. You take the equipment out and that is it.Also, GoFitness–Sends you a workout pad with their Equipment!

Useful workout device
This is a decent workout gizmo. Provides a good pump in the chest and in the upper arms and shoulders. It’s solid and sturdy enough for its intended use. That being said for the price this device should have a little higher grade molded plastic on it and should not make as much noise as it does when compressing it. Not a huge deal breaker just a few things to consider before spending 80 dollars for the strongman version(90lbs). It does not provide as much of a mind to muscle connection as power twister bars but does have another way of activating the muscles differently imo. All in all I like it but probably wouldn’t of bought it out of my own pocket if I didn’t have the reward points to cover the cost.

Amazing product!!!
This is a great piece of exercise equipment.I use it with an old time chest expander(one pulls the one pushes). I dealt with their customer service department and have never been treated so well. A great piece of equipment.

70 pounds resistance is too much 3.5 star rating 4 or more if you could adjust resistance.
I was not use the device as is, luckily there are two sets of springs on this device. There is a skinnier set of springs and a larger set of springs. I used a screw driver to remove the top and bottom screw of one side and removed the handle and the two purple O rings. Then I removed the skinnier set of springs on top and bottom. Now only the larger springs are on the Gofitness and now I can use the device for all the excercises. Did not see if the smaller spring has less resistance so that might be a possibilty for those that can not still use this. It could be that both springs have the same amount of resistance but not really sure. Now I like the device. Otherwise you would need to be someone who is a wieght lifter like the guy pictured using it. My complaint is that the resistance is not adjustable, if they could have done that it would make this much more usable. So the quality of the item is very good, it is light and gives a good amount of resistance with 1 set of springs for me, for those that are body builder will like the resistance with 2 springs. It feels very sturdy and the screws have a notch cut out to keep the nuts from coming off which is great for safety. This is not as good as actually having wieghts or pro machine, but for what it is, it is very good. I bought it for the chest squeezing exercise. Some of the exercise are not so usefully as the device might be a little bit too long. I would give this a 3.5 star rating, 4 or more if it was adjustable resistance. I believe it is over priced but it is made well.The company just tried to offer me $50 and keep the product if I give them a 5 star review. I have heard of this but this is the first time some one has tried to buy my review. My ratings and review is not changing on this product.

Isometrics and PAP with Push Downs
I love these so much I’ve ordered three. The convenience and effectiveness are strong selling points. One feature that I like is that is very easy to incorporate isometric training.If you are not familiar with isometrics, then I recommend the YouTube video:BENCH LIKE A BEAST: Utilizing Isometric MovementsIt features world-class powerlifters doing bench press isometrics and although they don’t explicitly say Post Activation Potentiation (PAP) it’s effect is noted.Most of what I know about isometrics I learned from the book DESIGNING RESISTANCE TRAINING PROGRAMS 4th edition.It has summaries of isometrics studies. Its Table 2.2 – Guidelines to Increase Hypertrophy With Isometrics Training has three intensity ranges with the lowest going as low as 30% of MVIA (Maximum Voluntary Isometric Action) and repetition duration as long as 60 seconds.The book also has some discussion of PAP.For some PressDown exercises I can’t completely compress the springs so I just compress them as far as I can for as long as I can. I am seeing progress using this approach.

Quality and Durable Product with Excellent Customer Service
I wasn’t sure which weight I should get between the 70 lb. or 50 lb. one, so I opted for the 70 lb. one. My first impression after taking it out of the box is that it’s pretty big, and feels very strong and durable; it wasn’t flimsy and didn’t feel cheap at all, as I was a little skeptical of when ordering. So, if you’re on the fence about ordering, know that this feels durable and strong, and should be a long-lasting product…The thing you need to figure out when ordering is trying to get the right weight for you. After trying the product out I had a hard time pulling the bars all the way for the chest exercise. I could still get a work-out, but I was hoping to be able to consistently get a full extension when using. The item came with a card that said if the resistance is too much or too little, to send an email and they will take care of you…So, I contacted customer service and told them the resistance for the 70 lb. bar was a bit too much for me, and around 24 hours later they responded back and told me they would ship out the 50 lb. bar. So, the 50 lb. bar arrived just a few days later, and it’s easier to use and I can get a full extension on the chest exercise, but it’s still pretty strenuous; or at least it is for me. But I think the more I use it, the stronger I’ll get, therefore the easier it will be to use…I honestly think they should make a 30 lb. bar, as I think that would still provide a strong workout for some; at the very least it would be a great tool to use for toning-up. I have suggested this to customer service, and they said they will take that into consideration. I think this company is trying to produce a product that will eventually become a common household product, and with some adjustments, such as a 30 lb. bar being added to the store, I could see that happening.

Very firm tension. Does the job
Have been using the product for 3weeks now and can feel the difference. Only complaint is it “feels” awkward. Noisy,and not well padded for use with abdominal exercises. It does get the job done,and price point is low

Go Fitness Push Down Exerciser Review
Go Fitness Push Down equipment is a great upper body excerciser, made with quality materials, its lightweight and you can take it anywhere. I rate this product 5 ☆☆☆☆☆I’m a 205 lbs person that can bench press 315 lbs and have purchased the 90 lbs resistance exerciser. I have to say it can be challenging on certain exercises like the curls and chest squeeze. But it’s perfect and it give you that pump and burn that you want from a good exercise equipment.I recently obtain the 110 lbs resistance exerciser and it is a real challenge that I need to work my way up to.My friends who are heavy weight powerlifters love the 110 lbs resistance exerciser. Which these guys are monsters and this pro resistance level was made for them.The Resistance Level Break Down• If you want a deep and high repetition. for that bodybuilding burn…Get the 70 lbs resistance.• Get the 90 lbs if you want a challenge in strength and/or graduated from the 70 lbs resistance level.• If you are a heavy weight powerlifter that want to go into Beast mode, get the 110 lbs level of resistance. Note: These powerlifters who tried the 110 lbs level of resistance benched well over 400 + lbs that can compress the Go Fitness exerciser to it’s full contraction which I have to say is no joke.Anyways, I hope that this can help those in choosing the right resistance level when purchasing this item.Overall, Go Fitness is an outstanding company that provides a quality product in their push down exerciser.Their customer service is #1 and they will respond back to you quickly if you have any issues with your exerciser. Refer to their customer service card included in the box.I look forward to future purchases with Go Fitness.Thank you.A.N

Great Portable Workout!
I was looking for something for a good Chest workout and this has worked out real well. It also offers a variety of exercises for a full body workout. It looks easy but the resistance gives you a tough workout. I started off with the 90 lbs and quickly realized that I had to go to a lower resistance. Contacted the company and within days I received the 70lbs which is more manageable for me. Great customer service! I am 69 years young and I take this with me to work, travel, and use it on days that I cannot get to the gym for resistance training. It is well made/sturdy and I can begin to see the difference on my chest. I am looking forward to graduating to the 90lbs. I will post an update with results soon.

Phenomenal Product
Have been looking for an innovative piece of equipment for multiple uses and the Go Fitness Bar is absolutely excellent. If you are a serious lifter (I am) it functions for me as a chest warm up exercise and replaces bands for stretching prior to my workout. If you are new to working out and need a little motivation in a small space, this is a bar for you. The Go Fitness folks designed a bar for multiple uses and there is a guide to get you a full workout using one piece of equipment. One other thing that is so rare these days. I had a minor question about the product and sent an e mail to the company and got a response within minutes. I will always support companies who understand that best products do not often win but the best companies do……and I am a Go Fitness customer for life.

Amazing Isometric Device!
I don’t typically write product reviews; however in this case I felt compelled to write one. If you’re aware of isometric exercises and their benefits, this device is excellent! I use it at home as a supplement to my regular weight training in the gym and I love it! It’s portability and versatility are A+ in my opinion, and you will definitely get a good workout. One final note, the customer service department is very responsive if you have any questions or issues.

Much more useful than I originally thought!
I was skeptical of this thing. I had my doubts about how much it’d help versus the dumbbells of mine that just broke. I’ve been using this each day for the last 3 weeks and I’m really surprised at how quickly I saw results.Something I’ve been especially happy with that I wasn’t expecting: unlike a dumbbell where it’s all or nothing with a specific weight- if it’s too hard to press these all the way, you can use a smaller amount of pressure on these, and still complete a full set. You’ll still have room to grow.The 70 lb bar I originally bought was too light of a resistance, but they quickly sent me the next level bar at no cost. They were very helpful- thank you!

Must Get For Quick Fitness
I usually don’t write reviews, but this product really impressed me. It’s surprisingly light; however, it very sturdy and provides excellent resistance.I had this for three days and already feel the burn with minimal use.I am very impressed with this product.

Smooth Resistance and Versatility
I bought this product primarily for pectoral workouts because it replicates the compression function of pec fly machines in the typical gym environment. But I also found the product to be useful for abdominal crutches as well. Those exercises are the most important to me because, as an 80 year old senior, I want to maintain upper body tone even though building muscle at my age is quite difficult. There are numerous other exercises that can also be done with this device. It fits nicely in the bottom of a suitcase so vacation workouts are possible. The device is well made, and I really like the smooth compression of the two springs that provide resistance. I think it is possible to start with low resistance and then step it up as strength improves. Mike at GoFitness provides great customer service and is always interested in suggestions. I think his company will continue to innovate and market similar devices that the home workout enthusiasts will enjoy using to avoid the cost and travel time needed for a gym membership.

Best work out product !!!!
I would like to say this is and amazing product. I was very hesitant on ordering this because I was unsure about the resistance. Must I say customer service is the best. My product arrived asap. The 70lbs resistance was too light for me, I reached out to customer service and they sent me the next level resistance 90lbs asap AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!!!! I am a truck driver and you can use this on the go, small places…. With so many different workouts at your finger tips. This is a must buy product hands down

Works for Me.
Have the 50 and 70 pound versions. I am 73 have FSHD Muscular Dystrophy and nearly lost my legs in Vietnam. Have to use a Wheelchair outside because of Strength and Balance problems. I’m a mess! Had to stop going to the Gym when Covid hit, but was heading that way anyways. These are GREAT pieces of Equipment for me and probably anyone else. I use both in my office chair 4 or 5 times a week. The 50 has gotten to easy for most exercises but the 70 still works for most (though I’m moving up soon). Not all muscle groups are created equal, and I like training options. I have been doing some style of weight training for over 60 years and reality has taken me here. I have gotten Stronger using these and they keep me in the Game. I would have given them 5 stars but the 70 has begun to make noise with the spring grinding on the bars. If someone provides me with solution I’ll be ordering the 90 next.

Excellent product and even better customer service.
This is a great all around workout. Only limited by your imagination of how to use it. Good even, smooth resistance. I email the company with a simple question. They got back to me within a day and went above and beyond to answer me.

What level of resistance to buy
I initially ordered the machine with 70lbs. of resistance but it was unable to get the full range of motion for the basic chest exercise as shown in the video -which was surprising, since at age 70 I still have the arms and shoulders of a safety in the NFL and also larger and stronger pectoral muscles than the average male of any age and can still bench press a 150lbs. I emailed the company to tell then this and they sent me a machine with 50lbs. of resistance and I was thus able to get the full range of motion on the basic chest exercise. Thus I would advise male customers to order the machine with 50lbs. of resistance unless they are as young and big and strong and muscular as college and NFL football players or body-builders who can bench press at least 200 lbs.Since women on average are not nearly as big and strong and muscular as men and have breasts rather than large pectoral muscles, I doubt that any female, with exception of a few extraordinary amazons, could get the full range of motion on the basic chest exercise, so perhaps the company could have machines with 30 or 20 or even 10lbs. of resistance and perhaps also make devises that are slightly narrower. If so, they could sell more devises to women and also men who aren’t even strong enough to achieve the full range of motion on the basic chest exercise.The abdominal exercise is also effective as one can feel the muscles constrict and burn with the downward motion.

Easy, effective upper body exercise
I bought an upper body V shaped exerciser for use particularly during the stay at home during the pandemic. While I liked it, it only did one movement for the arms/chest. I then saw on Amazon the GoFitness Super Push Down Bar. In addition to the basic arm/chest compression of the V exerciser, the Push Down Bar provides for a number of exercises that help the arms, chest, back and abs. As I am getting older and concerned about keeping fit, this is an easy piece of equipment that I think will be useful and safe to use.The 5 different exercises described in the brochure are divided into two groups to do on alternate days. It gives a more rounded exercise routine for different days of the week.I had some suggestions for the descriptive literature that comes with the bars. The seller was very prompt and courteous with their response. I always like good customer service. It always makes me more confident in my purchases should issues ever arise. I recommend the Super Push Down Bar as a reasonably priced, easy to use piece of exercise equipment that takes up little space in a small apartment. I’m just starting to use it but I think it will be helpful in firming my core and upper body as I spend all of my days at home with little other exercise opportunities.

Very effective and satisfying exercise equipment
I couldn’t restrain myself from writing a glowing review. This is my first review on Amazon after being very active for many years on the platform. This product is very well built. I have been exercising for decades and thought I have seen everything when it comes to exercise machines. This piece of equipment is the first product that really impressed me in many years and surprised me with muscle growing results in expedited fashion. I highly recommend it to people who seriously desire to improve their physique. The customer service and product support of Mike – GoFitness is second to none. The rest of the vendors should learn from this small company and its principal. Just follow the instructions that are well presented and properly select intensity levels and you are set.

Good pec machine!
I purchased the 90lbs unit February 9, 2020; today I’m going to order the 110 lbs (January 4, 2021). I bought it solely to exercise my pecs. I wanted a dedicated pec machine for home use and the price and size of this made it a good gamble. When I started, three sets three times a week, I was doing about 10 reps. Now I’m doing three sets of 30 four days a week. I really like it, and recommend it for someone looking for a cheap pec machine that is a small device. The only thing I don’t like is that sometimes the springs catch or stick making for a not so smooth contraction. When that happens I turn it over or around and it is usually smooth again (that’s why I didn’t give it five stars). Mine is not loud like some reviews stated, and I can’t imagine hurting yourself with it if you don’t try to over do it.If you want a pec machine, buy this first!

90 lbs pushed down bar
I received this product about a week ago, I honestly really like how it works. After a week of using it, I can feel my muscles are working harder and I can feel the muscles are more defines. I highly recommended this product for anyone who wants to build muscle tone.
