Good enough piece of equipment
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The equipment arrived earlier than the seller stated which was a good thing. Assembly was fairly straight forward, having a good selection of tools in my shop helped speed assembly although you can put it together with their recommended tools it’ll just take a little longer.
The unit is well built and sturdy and is perfect for home use. If you are looking for a gym quality unit this isn’t it but you’re also not paying what you would for gym quality. All in all a good piece of equipment for a good price.
I do have one complaint that really brings the rating down for me and that is customer service by the manufacturer. There was one small piece of hardware that was missing, not a big deal as I had something that would work in my shop. I tried to register the product and kept getting errors. I tried to register from several different computers on several different networks and kept getting the same error. Oh well, so much for registering it for warranty purposes. I sent several emails to explain the registration issues and to ask about the missing hardware. It has been several months now and I still haven’t gotten a response from the manufacturer. I realize that the piece of equipment wasn’t hugely expensive and that the issues are minor but one would think that I would at least have gotten a response. I won’t buy from the manufacturer again.

Power Tower
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Am 6ft, 195lbs. Sturdy frame, good materials, like the push-up option b/c takes the strain off of wrists. The dip arms shake slightly but not too much. Great value, recommended
very sturdy
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Well built piece of equipment. No problems putting it together. Supports my weight (230lbs) and feels stable while exercising. Tall enough to do comfortable pull-ups on, but short enough so I don’t hit my head at the top.
Solid great product
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I put this together in less than 30 minutes. It was easy to put together and I did it by myself. Overall it’s great. Keep a couple of things in mind. I am 6’3″ and have to bend my knees to do pull ups without my feet touching the ground. It’s not a big deal for me but you’ll want to be aware if you’re tall. Also, I wish is had handles for doing pull ups with your palms facing each other. There are other tower’s with this. It’s not a huge deal, but it would’ve been nice. Overall I’m happy with this tower.

i’m disabled and have very little muscle from my waist down due to nerve problems. with power tower i can some strength in my upper body now. it works great for me.
Good value for what I wanted
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I wanted a tower that I could do pullups on in anticipation of starting the p90X program. I also wanted something that I could do other exercises on after the P90, and that would be useful for years. I believe I found it in this tower. Assembly was not too difficult, I was able to put it together in roughly an hour by myself. Instructions were pretty good and not very difficult to follow. The unit seems sturdy, with some slight wobble, but nothing that would make me nervous to use. I weigh in at 205 lbs and feel that this tower is very sturdy for the size and weight. Quality seems to be decent, and I expect this equipment to be usable for years. I truly believe you could get ripped just using this one piece of equipment.
Great product, great price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Great product, assembly is easy if you have two socket wrenches and goes fast and smooth. Wobbles a little bit when doing pullups and dips, I’m 6’3 180. Would buy again.
good upper body exerciser
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Well built and stable for an average person. It does take up a lot of room, but was impressed with the engineering that went into the product. Great for chinups and pullups and shoulder raises. Hard to get that kind of toning with pushups, so great compliment to weights, and ground exercises. All natural exerciser, so great for toning.
Worth the Little Extra for Quality
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I really like this product and it works great. I’m 6′ 165#’s and it fits me perfect. Mine is on carpet and is sturdy, i read some reviews that said it isn’t but i disagree. Comparing this one to others, I felt this qas superior quality so I paid the little extra for a “Gym” style look and design and I wasn’t disappointed. I love the push up handles (which i didn’t think i’d even use) and i especially like taht you can do dips facing either way.
Good but bulky
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Works well but this thing is big and bulky. Be prepared for it to take up a good chunk of room. I thought I could put it in my garage to get it out of the way, but then I just stopped using it. Really needs to be in a room that’s a dedicated gym.
