Good Set of Parellettes

The media could not be loaded.  I like how the parellettes feel on my hand, but one thing that I would change is the diameter of the bars. I would want them to be thicker for better grip. It took me a few training session to get used to them and I think I have already adapted myself to the them.Another positive thing about these parellettes is the height off the ground. It gives me enough room for me to perform press handstands, handstands push ups, and 90° handstands push ups.

High Price, Low Quality

Listen to all of the other one star reviews that criticize the hardware. I was pretty excited to get these in the mail. I started to fasten the screws and made sure to be careful as they looked cheap. I checked their sturdiness once they were flush with the ends but they still rotated. I gradually fasted the screws more tightly. Within one full rotation, the screw broke. I was hoping it was this individually screw and tried my luck on the other side. Sure enough, that screw broke as well before it was fastened enough to be sturdy. I can assume the screws are about as cheap as can be. This is problematic, as people rely on these parallettes to support their body weight. Also, the seller is charging $70 for a product that likely costs less than $10 to make. It is a small amount of wood, 4 thin strips of rubber and 4 screws. You would think that they could chip in another 50 cents to use screws that don't snap in half over minimal stress.

Poor design and construction

I like how these look and that I can put them in my suitcase and take them to travel with me when I have to fly. Be prepared for security to ask you what they are! I also like the height of them for handstands, they are too low however for most of the other exercises I would use them for. I have a taller set of Rogue parallettes for those that are much better than these but too big to travel with.The fatal flaw in these is that, as other reviewers have noted, the screws are very cheap and get screwed in from the sides. This makes no sense because the horizontal bars spin when the screws come loose, which they definitely will. It is dangerous to have moving parts when you are upside down or in other positions.I have to constantly tighten up the screws and they are stripping, which will render them useless. The design would be better if the screws were either coming down from the top or angled as I have seen in other parallettes. I am considering just drilling a hole down from the top and seeing what happens. I am anticipating that the wood will crack since there are already screws from the side.I wouldn't recommend these. Keep looking elsewhere!

Solid Materials, Sturdy Setup, Clean Aesthetics

These parallettes are a great mix of style and build. The materials feel solid, the poles sit inside the anchors, the screws keep the poles from spinning, and the floor grips do their job well. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5-stars is one of the poles is noticeably smaller than the circular slots they are placed in, which isn't ideal. I'm not sure if it's the dual base circle cutouts that are too big or the pole radius is too small, but it's an issue I hope the Yogabody team will work with me to remedy.

Can't beat the price

Note: I purchased these for $20. They could have gone up since this review.These are my 2nd pair of parallettes, the other being much higher off the ground. I really enjoy the height on these for Crow, L-sit, and handstand training. Highly recommended for the price point.

Screws are bad quality

Screws are very poor quality. They need to be screwed tight so that the parts don’t move, however doing so they break making it imossible to use or repair the product. Returning..

Great parallettes at a great price

I have been looking for some sturdy, affordable, wooden parallettes for a while now, so I was pleased to find these for sale from yogabody. I had purchased parallettes in the past that had a fair degree of wobble during any kind of dynamic movement, but so far these have proven to be sturdy and reliable. The handle is smooth and comfortable to grip (1.5” diameter). They are lightweight as well, and easy to stow out of the way. One thing to keep in mind is that the height is fairly low - about 5 inches clearance from the ground - which some consider to increase the challenge in training, compared to parallettes with a higher clearance - say, 10 inches or so - especially for some of the earlier progressions. Consider the space requirements of the tuck L-sit vs the full L-sit, for example. If you are new to training with parallettes, you may need to consider ways to raise these off the floor before purchasing - on two stacks of blocks, boxes, chairs, etc. Or who knows, perhaps yogabody will see this and offer a set of taller parallettes for sale as well. Here’s hoping.I’m very happy with my purchase. I believe these are the best quality parallettes available at this price range.

Junky screws

When i hand tighened the screw into the wood the screw cap broke off with the body of the screw stuck in the wood!i barely turned it. The wood seems string but the screws that came with it are junk. I drilled in my own screw in a diff spot...Hope it holds up
