Power Tower Dip Station Pull Up Bar - Home Gym Adjustable Multi-Function Fitness Equipment，400LBS

Arrived today. I was surprised as to how light the box was. I hoped once assembled it would be sturdy yet lightweight. Nope. I am over 200 lbs with a decent build. My hands barely fit on the dip handle. When I put my hand on one side of the pull up bar the whole things shifts under my weight. And, yes, I have tightened the bolts more than I dare since they started to dimple the metal if I go much further. The back support for leg lifts is very flimsy. I am actually afraid to try and do a workout on it. I like to push hard and do that extra dip or pullup but under my weight I am afraid something will slip or break or something.This may be good for a small person (under 150lbs?) who wants the occasional workout (but then again, then type of person doesn't buy something like this).Not really sure what to do with it now. I will have to be creative and see if I can weld it or somehow reinforce it. Not sure what to do about the short handles.disappointed....Update: I am updating my rating after being contacted by the seller. I had very nice communication with them and, in short, great customer service. They are not the manufacturer but the reseller and so the rating hurts them and we agreed they will update the product description to clarify a person's size that may be more comfortable with this tower as-is. I can't argue that it is a good unit for someone smaller than me.Also as part of this update, this is what I have done to make it more useful for a person my weight (see photos):1) I got some foam mats and placed the tower on them. My garage floor has an epoxy coating in it. This was probably the main reason it "doesn't feel right" and moved around a lot. Seriously, this is important if you have the same initial experience!2) I wrapped the grips with athletic wrap and then athletic tape to make the foam grip that came with it longer and thicker to my likeness. This also has helped a lot and my hand doesn't feel like it is going to slip off now. (I need to rewrap as this was just an experiment but it does feel good!)3) There are two predrilled holes at the top near the pull up bar. I bolted in a 1/8" thick bar which adds more structure and helps prevent the twisting (again, probably not an issue if you are a lot less than 230lbs).Nothing I did modified the tower itself, nor was difficult. It just took some creativity. :) I can easily unbolt the bar or unwrap the tape. Some people might not want to have to do things to something they are buying new just to make it work but some people wrap their weight lifting bars anyway, so what's the difference. I had this stuff laying around but would cost about $20 dollars for both the tape at the grocery store and a predrilled bar at the home improvement store.So if you are a lighter person, the unit is solid. If you are heavier like me, then hopefully these tips help you :)

Essentially, it was easy to assemble. That said, where the bar for the back pad attaches to the main structure has these weird spring clip things that don't really work. I used a corded drill and made uniform holes and put a 1-1/2 inch sheet metal screw through on each side and problem solved.Came with extra replacement hand grips for when the first set wears out, which is very nice, and flat stamp wrenches which are really useful!I've been using mine for a while now, and i haven't had to tighten anything again, it's really stable, and comfy.The only downside is that the back pad is kinda far back, not too much so, but i just wish it were adjustable. I might add a piece of plywood or 2x8 or something to bring it forward.All in all, it is an amazing product that is an amazing deal and I'm glad i bought it when I did!Cheers!

My teenaged son wanted a new pull-up bar for his birthday since his old over-the-door one was starting to sag on the ends. Wanting something better than what he was using, after looking at the reviews for several home gyms, I ended up choosing this one.After a snafu with the delivery and having the package left in a pile of snow on the main road that connects to the road my house is on, we finally got the package home and opened (a full month early because I wanted to get everything out of the wet box...so much for surprises).The gym was fairly easy to put together, although the instructions were a bit wanting. The instructions we received weren't the same ones pictured in the image, so we ended up using the amazon picture + our instructions to figure out how everything fit, but by that evening, my son was happily trying it out. My only wish is that the bars were a little more supported. I haven't seen them bend when my slender son pulls on them, but as he builds up muscles, I'm concerned that without stabilizers they'll start bending under his weight. Still, for the price, it works far better than the old pull-up bar.

Everything is clean and new, shipping was quick, very hard to get pull up tower to island. Took me almost an hour to set up. it is sturdy and strong support for 200 lbs. Can do 6 pull up with no issues. The backrest for the ab exercises that clips in seems like it could work much better, but it works fine. It clips in, the two metal prong need to be put inside the bar, and when it clips on, the metal pops into it. There is a note that these guys are a family company from outside mainland, well thank you for the quality product and here is a quality review! hope you get more business from this
