Overview
The Total Bar is a 5-foot, 2-lb resistance/vibration exercise bar generating up to 34 lbs of resistance, sold with a carrying case, training booklet and nutrition booklet, positioned for rehabilitation and general strength work rather than heavy lifting.
This is a vibration-based exercise tool in the same category as the BodyBlade, where oscillating the bar rapidly creates the workout rather than lifting a fixed weight. Owners who have used both note the Total Bar flexes less than a BodyBlade, which changes how the vibration feels and, according to one reviewing physical therapist, can reduce the effect for rehab work that depends on a longer range of motion.
- 5-foot, 2-lb resistance bar generating up to 34 lbs of resistance
- Includes carrying case, training booklet and nutrition booklet
- Vibration-based exercise for rehab and general fitness
- Designed for short, 15-minute daily sessions
Who it's for
People doing shoulder or rotator cuff rehabilitation exercises, or anyone wanting a portable, low-impact strength tool for short daily sessions. Less suited to those who specifically want the longer flex of a BodyBlade-style bar.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers frequently compare it to the BodyBlade, several noting the Total Bar has less flex and a shorter range of motion, which one physical therapist felt reduces the vibration effect used for shoulder rehab. Reviewers used it for rotator cuff and frozen shoulder recovery and reported feeling the effect working through the muscles. The most serious complaint is durability: one buyer had two bars split or crack at the ends after months of regular five-to-seven-day-a-week use, despite finding the exercise itself effective.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Portable, 2 lb bar that fits in a carrying case
- Effective for shoulder and rotator cuff rehab exercises
- Short daily sessions reported as enough for a visible workout
Performance notes
The bar works by oscillating rapidly once set in motion, and the resistance comes from fighting that oscillation rather than from a fixed weight. Reviewers who also own BodyBlades describe the Total Bar as stiffer, meaning it takes more effort to keep moving but produces a smaller range of motion, and it has a tendency to drift into a circular or oval path once oscillating rather than staying on a straight line.

Questions about the Total bars
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How does the Total Bar work?
It's a vibration-based exercise bar. You set it oscillating and the effort of controlling that motion, rather than a fixed weight, provides the resistance, up to 34 lbs.
Is the Total Bar comparable to a BodyBlade?
They work on similar vibration principles, but owners of both describe the Total Bar as stiffer with less flex and a smaller range of motion.
Is it durable with regular use?
Most reviewers found it held up, but at least one owner using it 5 to 7 days a week reported both of their bars splitting or cracking at the ends over several months.
