20 Best Gymnastics Bar For 9 Year Old (2023 Updated)

My daughter is in her first year of competitive gymnastics. She is an Xcel Silver gymnast. She loves it but has struggled with her bar routine. She asked for a bar to practice with at home, and I originally told her we didn’t need one.

Then I watched her struggle with her bar routine at her first competition. I immediately ordered this bar. Within the first day of having it, she had her pull up pullover, and she is sooo close to having her back hip circle.

She gets her back hip circle about 3 out of 5 times, which is a huge improvement for her. This has helped her confidence tremendously going into her next meet. I recommend this bar. It is very sturdy and was pretty simple to put together by myself.

I am so glad we have it.

Very sturdy. The coating/paint on the metal isn’t smooth and is slightly bubbly looking in areas but this isn’t a big deal. I thought it was supposed to be easy to fold up and slide under something but I have yet to figure out how it does this.

My husband and I can only see that you have to completely disassemble to put away. Also it was supposed to come with an instructional video which was a big sale for me vs buying cheaper on Amazon but we didn’t receive it.

After much research, we chose to go with this bar and are extremely pleased! We got it for our 6 year old daughter who just joined a competitive team. She loves it and is quickly improving. Her older brother (8 years) loves to play on it, too.

The bar is easy to height adjust and stable as they flip and jump onto it. I recommend this to anyone looking for a quality product!.

My 6 year old has been on gymnastics and with the quarantine I felt she was going to regress. I reviewed a lot of reviews on bars and finally decided on the jr bar pro. I am so glad I did. As a single mom I was able to easily put it together.

In addition it’s easy to adjust and will grow with my daughter. I’m excited toe her to continue to grow with her skills. She’s using it daily.

I purchased the kip bar for my granddaughter who is enrolled in gymnastics to give her the opportunity to practice outside of her once a week class. It was extremely easy to set up and is stable enough for anything she will be using it for.

The bar is very well designed and made of good quality materials. I would highly recommend this kip bar for someone with a beginner gymnast in their home.

The item came with broken pieces. Hadn’t to contact 3 different costway places to replace and then never received the replacement part. The item would be decent but the plastic parts the cover the area are supposed to keep it from clanging.

If they’re broken, it doesn’t work.

This bar was packaged well. Easy to put together. The instructions were vague but we managed to do it with no problems. The bar is super quality and the bolts fit perfectly in the holes they were supposed to go in.

My 6yrold loves it!.

Beautiful colour and easy to install. Costs much less than getting a new roof on my porch

I was so excited to receive this bar for my 6 year old. But when we were getting assemble this, we noticed that one of the knobs to adjust the bar height is broken. I have no idea how to lower the bar know 🙁 I will probably need to get in touch with customer service and see if they can send me a new knob 0.

Just got it for my 6 year old daughter and i’m pretty happy with it, it was very easy to put together, it’s very sturdy and it’s foldable which is a plus. Over all, a very good buy

One daughter doesn’t want to use this at all and the other loves this. I think it is great for beginners getting used to the bar and building strength.

Great bar pad. My daughter no longer complains about her stomach feeling hurt when using the bar.

I orderes this to go with my daughter’s kipp bar and it definitely eases the comfort when practicing the same skills over and over especially when you are unable to access the gym.

I bought this for me to replicate some of the tools I used in physical therapy to improve my balance. It’s a little narrower than the one used in PT, but it does help me do what I purchased it for.

My kids love it! It’s firm enough to support an adult and high enough off the ground to test balance and agility.

Awesome and comfortable for the kids. Smaller diameter so it fits kids hands and overall length doesn’t make them overly unbalanced. Blue bar is almost a neon light blue in color.

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter. She’s been watching us lift since she was a baby and decided that she wanted to join the fun. Using the bar with a pair of 5lb plastic technique plates and she can do a clean and ******.

It’s all about technique at this age. Great product.

My 7 year old saved up for it so she could work out with me. She loves it. Great size and weight for kids and beginners. Great spin. Time will tell how it hold up.

Originally bought the extension set by mistake many months ago during the winter, never opened the box until very recently for fixing, only to realise it was not the starter set but an extension set.

Therefore decided to buy another extension set to make up the starter kit. Received the second extension kit very quickly. The gym bar is of excellent quality, however reasonable DIY skills are needed to dig the holes and fill with concrete.

My wife and I have fixed the gym bars permanently in concrete, they are extremely sturdy and no doubt will last a life time! so one happy daughter!!.

My daughter does competition gymnastics and it can stand up to some vigorous swinging about on it. Installation just involves some hard-work: digging, cementing and patience while it sets. The height of the bar is easy to adjust – although we already have it on the tallest setting and probably won’t use the lower ones and our daughter is quite small at 1m30.

Still, you wouldn’t want it much higher as if someones does fall off it from that height head first – it wouldn’t be very nice.

Bought this for my gymnastics mad 8 year old. It is very robust and she loves it. Her 4 year old sister plays on one side which we have lower down and my 8 year old moves between the two bars. You have to dig quite deep to make sure it is anchored in properly but worth effort as feel it will last a long time.

I actually didn’t expect this to be as sturdy and good quality as it is. The pictures don’t do it justice. The struts are all really thick and sturdy, with nice paintwork and good quality fittings that all fit together neatly and easily.

Really easy to put together and put up. Very impressed with it.

Daughter loves it and its really improving her gymnastic skills. Set to top bar height and this is about 1. 5m. Took some effort to install and get plumb. This needed holes 500mm deep and 12 bags of Postcrete to set frame in place.

If it moves I’ll be really gutted!!!.

Excellent bars that we installed in a couple of hours for our 9 year old daughter (keeping her off them for 24 hours for the concrete to set wasn’t easy). Had them for a month now and she’s using them every day.

Couldn’t be happier. Nice, robust equipment that look like they’ll last for years.

Starting out, the only reason I gave it 2 stars was because it does it’s job of holding plates. The Cerakote finish is absolute garbage. After putting on the plates and taking them for the first time the coating became significantly scratched and chipped.

There is a significant cloud of cerakote dust that fills the air around the bar, and settles on the bar, the floor and walls around it. I reached out to rogue and was told this was absolutely normal, cerakote is not supposed to be resistant to abrasion.

However I refused to believe that it should be this bad. Why? Because I have cerakote bars from other companies in my gym, none of them have behaved this way after a couple uses. I then reached out to cerakote to ask some questions.

After exchanging a few emails an pictures I was told that my rogue bar probably had a poor application. However after the pictures were exchanged I was told the following… “ I noticed that the Cerakote looks pretty dry and chalky.

This is a sign that when the coating was applied it was dry sprayed. When a Cerakote is dry sprayed it tremendously decreases the durability and adhesion. ” I was told I should reach out to rogue by this kind cerakote rep, but I already had and was told this was normal behavior for their bar.

Which makes me believe that this was not a poor application, but rather they do in dry sprayed for whatever reason they thought was best. Not a good look for a company that everyone tells me is the best.

Will not be recommending to friend, family or my gym.

I purchased the ODB in black/black cerakote. I love the knurling on my OPB’s and wondered if the same knurling style on a deadlift bar would be preferable? After owning this bar for 6 months, my opinion is, it’s a great deadlift bar, but maybe not be the best option available.

I actually own two deadlift bars. This bar, and the other beloved deadlift bar from a different company. That company we all know about, located in Texas. While I prefer the knurling of the ODB to that of the ‘other’ deadlift bar I mentioned, as well as the superior corrosion resistance of cerakote, the ‘other’ bar probably wins out and here’s why.

The whip! A deadlift bar is all about the whip. The more whip the bar has, the more upright you can start your pull. The ‘other’ bar has thicker collars and a longer loadable sleeve length. So, the weights are more pushed out and you can load more plates on the sleeve which further provides the bar with greater whip.

The ODB, with it’s thinner collars and shorter sleeves, is just a stiffer bar. You might like that or you might hate it. Whip is a personal preference. You can cheat this a little bit by putting a barbell collar on each sleeve of the ODB, THEN adding your plates for the lift.

This pushes the weights further out on the sleeve, thus creating a little more whip on the ODB. It’s not the best option, but it does work somewhat. This bar might also be a good choice if you’re a complete degenerate like myself and want to purchase as many specialty bars as possible.

I actually rotate stiff bars and both deadlift bars into my deadlift rotation to constantly change the leverages. That might be a silly reason for many to buy more than one deadlift bar. That is for you to decide.

But if you want a deadlift bar and prefer the volcano knurling, the ODB is a great option.

I also used to own my own 7,200 square foot gym and used various bars by different manufacturers over the last 56 years. The reason I ordered the bar is due to a traumatic head injury I received in 1972 when I was 19 serving in the Marine Corps overseas which through the years has caused other health issues such as severe muscle weakness and dysautonomia.

I can’t start my workouts with regular bars that weigh 30 to 45 lbs on many movements like curls and rows. By using this 22 lb bar I am able to start my exercise and slowly add smaller plates for a few sets.

The bar is extremely well made. It is perfectly balanced with what I consider a perfect grip on the bar. Not too aggressive and not too light. It is very comfortable and allows you to have a secure and comfortable grip without damaging the palms of your hands.

It fits my York power rack perfectly and the sleeves rotate smoothly. The sleeves are very smooth which I like and my 50 year old lighter (2 1/4, 5, and 10 lb) York Olympic plates with 50 ½ mm holes fit beautifully over the 50 mm sleeves.

The weld that is part of the sleeve does not get in the way of the plates being flushed against the inside flat surface of the sleeve. I have looked at other similar bars from manufacturers and I could find a bar of this caliber and design anywhere else.

Thank you for understanding how a bar should be made. I want you to know American Barbell how much I really appreciate this bar.

I have recently started Olympic Weightlifting and decided I should own my own equipment. I read all the reviews for all the barbells on the market today, The American Barbell Performance Bearing Bar had one of the best reviews from professional athletes and coaches.

I started using one of those used and abused bars in the gym and struggled to learn technique. As soon as I started using my new bar, my technique improved and I am able to learn proper lifting form.

I highly recommend this bar as a very good training bar for beginners and experienced lifters, my coach loves this bar and has decided to get one for himself.

Great barbell! My fiancé and I built a home gym and we had a very small space to fit a squat rack. A full size Olympic bar was out of the question and the shorter bars weren’t short enough. This barbell is perfect for us.

It has the right dimensions for our space, is rackable, and can fit more than enough weight with high quality bumpers or iron. Quality is also top notch!.
