Power Tower Adjustable Height Standing Pull Up Bar Dip Station for Home Gym Heavy Duty with Jump Rope Holds Up to 660LBS

I am glad I got this particular power tower. I was impressed that the company selling it contacted me just after I placed the order, before it even shipped to me, letting me know that they were available for any questions and concerns about this product. The instructions were not particularly helpful, BUT between really studying the PICTURES drawn for the instructions (versus the WORDS), I gained some VALUABLE GUIDANCE for assembling this power tower, as well as studying the actual photos of it on the Amazon website, for clues regarding assembly. Those things, coupled with some basic common sense regarding what pieces were meant to go where, while putting it together (such as the longer screws being used through the wider steel sections of the frame where the shorter screws wouldn't work at all, etc.), enabled me to, eventually, assemble it myself. I am female, am 5'9", and weigh 128 pounds, and find this power tower to be sufficiently sturdy for me. Note: It also comes with a jump rope. I recommend getting fitness equipment gloves such as weightlifters use for working out, with this product though, to try to avoid developing sore hands or calluses developing on your palms. I have also ordered resistance bands to use. They are good to have on hand for a fitness regimen, anyway, but online recommendations are to also utilize a fitness band, hanging from a power tower, to help boost the weight bearing ability as the muscles are developed that are needed for doing chin-ups or pull-ups with this type of equipment. I am 69 years old now, and haven't done any strength training for a long time prior to this, so I feel like my body weighs alot more than in does when I try to do these two exercises, causing me to (so far) be unable to do either one. However, my goal is to eventually be able to do them, using this power tower, because I was able to do them when I was younger (and more fit). IN THE MEANTIME, I DO use this power tower regularly, by attempting to do these two particular exercises, which still causes that wonderful 'burn' in my arm (and stomach) muscles that lets me know the muscles are being exercised and strengthened, even though I can't do pull-ups or chin-ups yet. Developing my muscles IS MY TRUE GOAL-- more so than being able to do these two particular exercises, so I still like having this power tower to use while I am getting stronger and more toned. I also use the various hand grips positioned on this to push and pull myself forward and backward, while standing on the floor or on the step stool I placed underneath the pull-up bar to assist me in attempting pull-ups, which is also strengthening my arms and seems to be improving my (slouchy) posture by flexing my shoulder blades as I go back and forth doing repetitions of that movement. Finding things that I CAN do using the power tower, as I continue to develop the strength needed to hopefully one day do pull-ups on it, has made it a welcome and valuable asset to my home. I 'feel the burn' as my muscles flex and develop, every time I use this, which encourages me to KEEP AT IT. It can do alot for a body, is attractive and well-made, and doesn't take up alot of floor space. I find that using it during TV commercials (which I hate watching for the most part) is long enough to get that 'burn' that encourages me that I AM getting STRONGER. So, even SHORT sessions using it have been VERY BENEFICIAL to me. I highly recommend this product!

The media could not be loaded. So I had my husband buy this for me so I can do leg lifts. I did not assemble it but my husband did and he did it pretty quickly. It comes with directions, pretty straight forward. It’s good quality. My husband uses it sometimes and he’s 218 and I’m 187 lbs. it’s very sturdy. The only thing that’s wobbly is the arms here but it doesn’t effect the over all performance of the equipment. It doesn’t bother when you’re doing leg lifts either. It’s good quality.

The media could not be loaded. I love that it has both the dip bars (which I also use for horizontal pull-ups/inverted rows) and the pullup bar with the hand grip across the whole entire surface. I am 5'7" and my feet do touch the floor if I'm hanging completely loose from my hands, but it's tall enough for most purposes. It does feel a bit wiggly so I wouldn't do anything too explosive with it, but it still otherwise holds up to at least 200+ lbs in practice, according to my experience. I like the different hand positions available. It wasn't too difficult to put together. The dip bars come down but don't come completely out of the way, which is a little weird to me. But overall it works well and I'd still recommend it, especially for the price point. It fits well in my little trailer house and lets me do pull-ups or chin-ups without my head touching the ceiling and also without being so low that I can't get full range of motion.

TLDR: 10/10 Well rounded, easy to build, stable.It seems sketchy as the instructions are very crude, but the cushions are good, the bolts and screws are good quality, and the metal is straight and of good quality. The pieces lined up perfectly and I had a fun time building it. While it can be a bit shaky when doing a fast and/or shaky workout, it is stable in more regular use. I’m sure there’s better ones out there for the same price but this one is good at what it does.I highly recommend it.
