Is SoloStrength a good choice for me?
Will SoloStrength Work For Me?
There are many ways to answer this question, and the best answer depends on the person, and the space you are working with. In general terms, SoloStrength SpeedFit Training is the safest and most efficient way to achieve full body strength and cardio functional (higher metabolic burn due to fast paced strength and functional training movement) exercise.
Here's Some Questions To Ask Yourself. Do You...
- Want to train with mainly bodyweight exercises (JCups now available for olympic bar use for bench press, squats and free weight lifting as rack as well) .
- Value quality, simplicity, safety, and sturdy design.
- Would like to perform a variety of full body exercises in one place without the need for loads of additional equipment.
- Feel strongly about the foundational, basic strength movements that are proven to effectively help you reach your goals, regardless of your age or ability.
- Would like a home gym that’s safe and easy to use for everyone in your household, including youths and older adults.
- Value your TIME as much as your FITNESS, and appreciate simplicity for supporting habit forming behaviour that increases fitness results and health and wellness success.
For LESS THAN A DOLLAR A DAY you can get started with your SoloStrength training and have access 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The convenience, benefits and access to training will have immeasurable benefits for you and everyone in your home.
After that 1 year...your system is FREE to use. The money it SAVES you from travel, ongoing memberships and travel/time costs, and the BENEFITS you receive, there is literally NO BETTER option for full body unlimited training options for your home or studio. Incredible VALUE, and benefits that just keep coming. We know you will love it and welcome you to join our SoloStrength SpeedFit club.
Why Is Bodyweight Exercise Good For Me?
Bodyweight based resistance exercise for strength benefits is efficient and effective because unlike isolation exercises (like you do on most cable machines or free weight training), you need to engage more of your body's muscles to execute the movements.
For your home, the convenience of having a system ready to go when you are, that is simple to use, fast to adjust through exercises and progressions, and allows you to put each moment of your time into exercising, is the solution that we are all looking for.
Full body effective exercise movements that take no time to set up or prepare and allow us to make the most of what time we have to spend exercising. Compare this to other systems that require more time to adjust exercises than it takes to complete an entire workout session on SoloStrength. Now THAT’s a solution for modern living that you can get excited about!
For commercial facilities, training studios, clinics and other commercial use environments, the value of a single piece of equipment that takes up the same or less space than a treadmill, that you can train all of your clients or patients on, speaks for itself. A simple to use system that allows you to quickly modify, demonstrate or adjust to individual needs, that keeps your time focused on the important things, and makes your job easier. Not to mention the literally endless variations to the core exercises in our training programs, you can replace up to 8 pieces of equipment with one, and that translates to high ROI for your space, your dollars and your time. Safety, simplicity, no maintenance and fuss free!

What kind of exercises can I do with SoloStrength?
You Can Do All The Speedfit Training Programs On Any Of The Ultimate Series Installation Options.
This includes our guided SpeedFit Workouts (10-20-25 Minutes all intensity options), and training in our dedicated workouts pages, videos and exclusive library in our SpeedFit APP.
The safety locking, and quick adjusting SoloStrength exercise bar allows for all bodyweight calisthenic exercises to be performed safely, and for beginner/intermediate conditioning levels with self-assisted versions to ensure maximum benefit and safety for you.
Full range of stretching and dynamic stretching on the bar is sublime, and with 1000 Lbs safe application of static force on the SoloStrength bar in all heights and directions, the ULTIMATE Series allows for a very unique and highly beneficial isometric exercise strength conditioning system like no other.
Integrate with other training devices and tools such as resistance bands, TRX Suspension Trainers, add challenge with stability ball, BOSU, and use as a rack with traditional olympic bar by adding our Ultimate JCups.
There is literally no limit to the range and variations of exercise and health supporting uses with SoloStrength ULTIMATE series training stations. Start by exploring which option is best for you and choose your height option and accessories and you are ready to go!
The main ULTIMATE Systems are full body training stations on their own without any accessories.
You can do all the beginner/intro, and many advanced exercise variations with just the main SoloStrength systems.
Footprint & Space Requirements
Generally speaking if you have 5' in front of the bar (3 feet from the front of base on freestanding), you can do all do all the suggested exercises in the SpeedFit programs. Most exercises that require more than 2' can be modified to accommodate smaller spaces.
The space saving installation of the Corner and potentially the Doorway mounted options (depending on space in front of doorway to extend legs), are possibly more restricted on some exercises depending on your space layout, however with the corner system you can modify slightly many of suggested exercises or come from inside of bar, to accomodate all of the Core 15-20-25 minute offered programs.
The accessories available (such as dip bar, wide grip bar etc), offer some additional range for exercises if you would like to expand some of your training and a few of the advanced programs integrate these tools.
You can integrate many other training tools such as TRX and other suspension trainers, resistance Powerbands, fitness ball, bosu, rings and other tools to expand your calisthenics and isometrics training to virtually unlimited capacity of personalized and customizable programs to always keep you training workouts enjoyable and challenging.
While it's no secret we LOVE bodyweight functional training, calisthenics, and the amazing benefits of max strength isometrics, we also offer JCups as another option for freestanding and other installation options, with enough space to hold olympic bar for using your ULTIMATE training system as a rack for free weight lifting. Use a bench for bench press or use for squats and and lifting with 1000 Lbs. capacity.

Is is stable for Kipping and Muscle Ups?
All of the installation options are secure and stable for controlled kipping pull ups and muscle-ups.
We would advise the following:
Kipping is a "method" to assist in fixed bar height pull ups, when one is beginning or starting to learn how to do pull ups or build strength.
If kipping is desired, if depending on the extremity of the lateral forces (flailing), you may want to add additional weight to the base to counter the lateral forces applied in more extreme movements during this form of "learning" pull ups. You can learn more about easy and convenient counterweight on freestanding system in the FAQ on this page. Other installations are secured to doorway/wall, and for more controlled less extreme movements, no counterweight would be needed.
The advantage of adjustable height SoloStrength bar allows for a much better technique and faster/safer learning, by lowering the bar to around shoulder height, and self-assisting to build strength with strict form which is far more controlled, effective, and safer (avoiding injury) than kipping method.
Muscle-Ups
Muscle ups are a form of pull up/press where a strong pull up force is applied to come up and above the bar with your body, to finish by pressing your body above the bar.
Muscle ups can be done on the high bar setting if extremely controlled and strong movement which would avoid the header bar which is part of the system (except in the outdoor model which has a separate bar as header in design).
Alternatives for muscle up practice can be done in more controlled fashion having bar set at lower height with setting enough to have clearance above the bar and below the header. Those who are strong in muscle ups will have no problem with this exercise movement.
Another option is to use the extended 8" offset of the wide grip pull up bar for muscle ups, which sets the grip outside of the main header by 8" allowing for more space to complete the movement.

Can I use TRX and bands?
Using TRX Suspension Training Straps, Rings & Bands With All Ultimate Systems
The SoloStrength systems work great on their own and with many accessories to add training options for you (or your clients).
The fixed mounted systems (Door/Wall/Corner) installations, if installed correctly, are secure on their own for lateral forces and you can anchor low, middle or top level on main SoloStrength Bar, without any issues following correct installation, best practices guides and assembly tips here.
SETUP For Freestanding System ConsiderationsIf you are in a commercial studio/facility, you may choose to secure the base directly to the floor with the 4 hidden anchor point holes on the side tubes of the base. Since this is not an attractive option for many "home" environments with finished flooring, the following suggestions below are best options to manage any requirements you may have.
How The Freestanding System Works
The Freestanding system self stabilizes with your bodyweight over the system. That means for 99% of the exercises you can do (including all SpeedFit Workout Programs offered), you do not need any other support or attachments to use your system perfectly. If you are attempting some exercises that will have your bodyweight primarily OFF the base, and applying lateral (push pull forward back) forces, you may require to add some weight back to the base to compensate for those forces.
If you have a low friction slippery finished floor surface, and are applying lateral forces without your body over the base (push or pull), you may require weighting the base (as in the suggestions below) in order to keep your system secure in place and not slide under the applied forces. Carpeted or higher friction flooring may not require any weight to add in this case.
If attaching TRX, Rings, Resistance Bands to the main SoloStrength bar, so long as forces applied are primarily vertical, or if some lateral forces applied but you keep your bodyweight over the base, the system will self-stabilize, and no counterweight is required.
Rear Support Bar
The Rear Support Bar is recommended for use with TRX Exercises, Rings and high anchor point for Bands, as it moves the anchor point to the back of the base of system, leaving the entire base for executing the exercises over, and in most cases will eliminate the need completely for any counterweight. This Rear Bar anchors on the back of the Freestanding Training System (Standard or Shorter Height options), and sits level with the highest SoloStrength Main Bar setting. It also allows you to execute parallel bar pull ups variations, and keep your accessories mounted the rear bar anchor, without impeding the free use of the SoloStrength bar. For this reason it is a highly recommended item for the Freestanding System.
Counterweight
If you wish to apply higher lateral forces, with high anchor point, and step off the base, removing your body weight as counter force, you will need to add some counterweight to base to compensate. This can be done via options in image below, including:
- Use of dumbbells or sandbags (or similar) over the lower cross bar
- Or choosing the purpose built Counterweight Tray providing convenient storage for counterweight items and accessories and benefit of keeping entire base free and clean for use
How Much Counterweight Is Required If Needed?
Typically 50-80% of your bodyweight if applying very heavy lateral forces, is sufficient. However you may need to experiment with this to find appropriate weight needed to keep base secure to ground, for any special exercises.
-
Can I use this on carpeted flooring?
Yes the freestanding system has 6 adjustable height support feet that will find the solid surface of the floor beneath the carpet (whether high density or longer pile carpet).
You will still have full stability and safety on carpet. You may also consider adding a small section of rubber flooring to set your SoloStrength on, if you prefer.
Moving location of your Freestanding system on carpet, you will need to buddy lift each side, to relocate to the space in room you wish to set your system.
-

Is it easy to move to a new location?

How do the Doorway and Wall Mounted Systems install?
Safety, Strength, and Minimal impact, were the guiding principles of our mounting design for the new ULTIMATE Doorway and Wall/Corner Mounted Systems.
The ULTIMATE Doorway Gym model is mounted using a similar approach as your door hinges, and with easily erasable damage to frame housing itself when you are ready to remove the system. The simple process requires filling small screw holes with wood putty (some light sanding to make invisible may be required). This 6 point connection (top, middle and lower part each side) was chosen for maximum safety and security of the system and users, and minimal impact on the attachment points.
The Wall and Corner Mounted Systems have best strength (recommended if wish to use system as anchor point for resistance bands, or suspension trainers applying lateral forces to main SoloStrength bar) if secured using horizontal (for Wall) and vertical (for Corner) stringer boards to ensure the mounting points are connected to wall studs through the stringers. Concrete or other solid surfaces don't require stringers.
The Wall Mounted Foldup System has stringers built into the mounting system to account for the hydraulic shocks and for solid installation without additional stringers.
The best way to explain how the system installs on doorway is to view this video here, or look at the installation instructions here.
All Systems come with full step by step video assembly instructions so ANYONE can assemble our system.
