NOHrD | Elasko Bar
The NOHrD Elasko Bar is a free-standing wooden stretching frame built around six solid wood rungs of 38 mm diameter, six side loops and a fold-out upholstered mat. It measures 158 x 79 x 137 cm, weighs 40 kg (88 lb) and takes a user up to 120 kg (265 lb). The rungs sit at different heights and the loops at different points down the sides, so a hand or a foot has a fixed hold at whatever height the movement needs, from a low hamstring position on the mat to an overhead hold at the top rung.
The Elasko Bar carries no resistance bands and no band tensions, which is the first thing to settle before ordering. The name suggests elastic resistance and the frame works on bodyweight, your own leverage and the hold points built into the timber. Loading comes from where you place your hands and feet against a fixed frame, which is why the rung spacing and the loop positions are the specification that matters here.
The frame folds and runs on integrated wheels, so a 40 kg piece of equipment moves against a wall between sessions without two people lifting it. It arrives in one package and needs no assembly. Six wood finishes run across the range, Shadow, Oak, Vintage, Club, Cherry and Walnut, cheapest to dearest in that order, and each is offered with artificial or genuine leather on the mat, with a Walnut Natural leather option at the top. NOHrD backs the frame for one year from shipment, taken to two years on components and two years on wooden components by registering inside the first year.
The frame
Six rungs at 38 mm diameter and six side loops give twelve fixed hold points on one frame, set at different heights and different reaches. The upholstered mat folds out of the frame to give a padded surface underneath them, and everything else about the Elasko Bar follows from those three parts.
01
The six rungs are solid wood turned to 38 mm diameter, which is a shade over an inch and a half and close to the grip a chin-up bar gives. Their spacing up the frame sets the reach you can work at: a low rung takes a foot for a standing hamstring position, a mid rung takes a hand for a supported lean, and the top rung is the overhead hold. Solid timber at that diameter is warm to hold with bare hands in a way that a coated steel tube is not, which matters on a hold you keep for thirty seconds at a time.
38 mm diameter
02
Six loops run down the sides of the frame and give hold points that a rung cannot, because they sit outboard of the uprights and take a hand or a foot at an angle. Between the rungs and the loops there are twelve fixed places to anchor a limb, at heights spread through the full 137 cm of the frame. The loops also give something to hold while the rest of the body is on the mat, which is the position most floor work on this frame starts from.

03
The Elasko Bar has no resistance bands fitted and no band tensions to select, and the name is the only thing about it that suggests otherwise. All the load comes from bodyweight and leverage against a fixed timber frame, in the same way it does on a set of wall bars. A buyer who wants a banded trainer is looking at a different category of equipment, and it is worth settling that before an order goes in and not after a 40 kg frame has been delivered.
Bodyweight only
04
An exercise app ships with the frame for iOS and Android, in English and German, and it is where the exercises for the frame are set out. Having the routines on a phone matters on a frame with twelve hold points, because the hold points are not self-explanatory and a printed card would run out of room quickly. The app is the reference for which rung and which loop a given position uses.

Ownership
At 40 kg the Elasko Bar is heavy enough to stand still under a full body hold and light enough to move on its own wheels when it folds. A 158 x 79 x 137 cm frame, a 120 kg maximum user weight and one package that needs no assembly decide where it lives, who can use it and how it arrives.
01
Heavy enough to stay planted under load, light enough to roll aside on the integrated wheels.
02
265 lb is the rated user weight for the frame, and it is a limit rather than a target.
03
Open, the frame takes about 1.25 square metres of floor, and it folds down from there.
04
Six solid wood rungs at 38 mm and six side loops, spread across the height of the frame.
05
The upholstered mat swings out of the frame in artificial or genuine leather and folds back in.
06
One package, delivered ready to use. Nothing is bolted together and nothing goes on a wall.
07
Six woods in artificial or genuine leather, plus a Walnut Natural leather option at the top.
08
One year from shipment, taken to two years on components by registering inside the first year.
In detail
The frame
Open, the Elasko Bar stands 137 cm tall on a footprint of 158 x 79 cm, with six rungs running up the uprights and six loops down the sides. It weighs 40 kg (88 lb), which is the figure that keeps it planted when a 120 kg user hangs their weight off the top rung. Wheels are built into the frame and it folds, so the same 40 kg tips and rolls to a wall when the session ends and comes back out without a second pair of hands. It arrives in a single package with no assembly, which on a piece this size is worth more than it sounds: there is nothing to align, nothing to torque and nothing to fix to a wall.
The mat
The mat folds out of the frame and gives a padded surface to stand, kneel or lie on while the hands are working the rungs and the loops above. It is offered in artificial leather or genuine leather on every wood in the range, and the top of the ladder adds a Walnut Natural leather. Artificial leather wipes down and takes daily use in a shared room without marking; genuine leather ages and darkens and is the choice where the frame lives somewhere it will be looked at. Folding the mat back into the frame is what lets a 158 cm piece of equipment take up a wall's worth of space instead of a room's.
The wood
On most NOHrD equipment the wood is what you look at. Here it is also what you hold, because the six rungs are solid wood at 38 mm and they take a bare palm at every height on the frame. Shadow is the black-stained wood-veneered entry to the range and it reads as dark furniture; Oak is the pale open grain; Vintage carries an aged character finish; Club sits beside Vintage through the middle of the ladder and costs the same on almost every NOHrD piece; Cherry runs warm toward red; and Walnut closes the ladder as the darkest and dearest. Wooden surfaces are finished in NOHrD's hard wax oil, and the NOHrD Care Set holds the wood care oil, lubricant, fleece and cloths for keeping them that way.
The range
Set beside the other standalone pieces NOHrD builds, the Elasko Bar is the only one that stands on the floor and gives you a fixed rung to hold at height. The HedgeHock, Eau-Me Board and VivaBall all work under you at floor level, the Sling hangs above you from a ceiling, and the HaptikBall goes in a hand. None of the six needs a wall fixing or a power lead, and at 40 kg the Elasko Bar is the heaviest of them.

Questions
No. The Elasko Bar has no resistance bands and no band tensions. It is a fixed wooden frame worked on bodyweight and leverage, in the same way wall bars are. The name reads as elastic and the product is not, so it is worth settling before you order.
40 kg, or 88 lb. Plan the delivery and the floor around that figure. It is enough mass to keep the frame planted with a user hanging off the top rung, and the integrated wheels are what make it moveable at that weight once it is in the room.
120 kg, or 265 lb. It is a hard limit on a frame that takes a user's whole weight through a single rung or loop, so check it against the heaviest person who will use the frame. The frame itself weighs 40 kg, well under the load it carries.
Six solid wood rungs at 38 mm diameter and six side loops, giving twelve fixed hold points spread over the 137 cm height of the frame. The rungs are set at different heights up the uprights and the loops sit outboard on the sides, which puts a hold within reach at floor level, at hip height and overhead.
Yes. The frame is foldable and runs on integrated wheels, so a 40 kg piece tips and rolls to a wall when you are done. Open, it stands at 158 x 79 x 137 cm. A frame this size only works in a room shared with other furniture because of that combination.
No. It ships in one package and arrives ready to use, with nothing to bolt together and nothing to fix to a wall. At 40 kg in a single carton it is a two-person lift into the room, and after that it moves on its own wheels.
The fold-out mat comes in artificial leather or genuine leather, offered on all six woods, with a Walnut Natural leather at the top of the ladder. Artificial leather wipes clean and shrugs off shared use; genuine leather ages and darkens with handling. Thirteen wood and leather combinations run across the range.
Six: Shadow, Oak, Vintage, Club, Cherry and Walnut, cheapest to dearest in that order. The wood does more than decorate here, because the rungs are solid timber and your hands are on them, so grain and finish are things you feel as well as see. Wooden surfaces carry NOHrD's hard wax oil.
Yes, an iOS and Android exercise app in English and German comes with the frame, and it sets out the exercises the frame is used for. With twelve hold points across three working heights, the app is how you work out which rung or loop a given position uses.
They solve the same brief from opposite directions. The Elasko Bar is a free-standing 40 kg frame with fixed rungs and loops, and it needs floor space and nothing else. The NOHrD Sling is a 5 kg suspension trainer with a 20 to 270 cm rope that hangs from a ceiling or an overhead beam, rated to 150 kg, and it needs an anchor. If you cannot or will not fix something overhead, the frame is the one that works.
One year from the date of shipment, taken to two years on components and two years on wooden components by registering the product inside that first year. Spare parts carry ninety days. The term covers private and commercial use, and it excludes normal wear, modification and skipped maintenance.
The open frame is 158 cm long, 79 cm wide and 137 cm tall, so roughly 1.25 square metres on the floor. Allow working room on the mat side, because most positions have a limb out behind the frame. Folded and rolled to a wall it takes considerably less, which is the state it spends most of its week in.
