Buyer Beware - does a regulation bar matter to you?
I have opened a new boutique gym that caters to seniors and people with disabilities and consistency in the gym really matters. I am a senior and have multiple sclerosis myself. I recently purchased the Sabre bar from RepFitness. It appears to be a very nice quality bar but, for me, it has a fatal flaw. In their description it has "Dual knurling markings for Olympic and Power lifting." This product does not. The dual knurling is 31 and 35 inches and they should be 32 and 36 inches as described. I read that the bar was made in China but to the specifications of RepFitness. Not sure why they don't change the description or just do it right. After deleting my review they emailed me that other bars and the Excaliber are correct. They did send me a prompt return label for which I will have to pay for. Ty was polite when I called but offered no remedy. I have their comp lite bench and it is excellent and as described. My email from Ty Gavin did explain the reason for my review deletion. "Customer reviews have significant impact for us moving forward." Wonder why it didn't occur to him to recognize the error and provide return shipping? I trust a company much more if they admit an error or shortcoming. I own several other of their products and found them excellent which I stated in the review. I also stated if the knurling markings were not an issue for some, then it was a great bar. Anyway, I'm a real person, looking for real products from a company that can stand behind their products in a real way. Not convinced RepFitness is that company. I ordered a Rogue Ohio power bar today. I'll take time to review that as well. Just so ya know.
Product Summary
The Rep Sabre Bar is ideally suited for benching, squatting, and deadlifting - along with Olympic movements. Medium depth knurl gives good grip without tearing up your hands. Our 20kg bar comes in two options: with a center knurl or without. Center knurling is helpful for keeping the barbell on your back during back squats and helps with low rep Olympic Lifting. For anyone doing high rep workouts or more Olympic lifting, consider the "No Center Knurl" option, or check out our Gladiator barbell.
