Marcy Power Tower Multi Workout Home Gym Pull Up Chin Up Dip Station VKR TC-3508

Sturdy as hell, can do chin ups 210 pounds and it doesn't even creak a little, dip bars on the other hand make the tower tip a little to the front when you put your entire weight on them, still usable but be careful if it moves on the floor, go slowly and grab them from the inside. They're perfect to do reverse pushups. Side note, you may want to buy an anti-slip rubber mat to keep it from sliding when you swing on it, and definitely get a pair of cushioned training gloves, my palms are killing me at the moment :( All in all it's excellent quality for the price, easy to assemble, you're gonna need something to tighten the nuts though, it's not included in the box, ratchet, pliers or key wrench, allen keys ARE included. Been 2 days now and i'm glad I have it, no regret so far, it's a must for any home gym, big or small. Kinda tall also, make sure to check the dimensions, I have 8 foot ceiling (96") and I have plenty of space for my head when I do pullups, if you have 7 foot ceiling or lower it probably won't fit.

Thus far after using it for 3 weeks I'm very satisfied with the Marcy Power Tower. It was not terribly difficult to assemble though if you are woman making this purchase I suggest you get a male friend to help you as the parts are a bit heavy. It's sturdy but a little wobbly and you should expect that for the price. I used a few eye hooks and cable straps along the base to secure it to my floor this eliminating any slippage. The center post gives a little when you pull up but the cable tensioner absorbs the stress well. Another reviewer mentioned that the bolts on the pull-up bar got stripped and I had the same issue with one of the bolts as well. I tightened it as best I could and left it at that. The iron bolts are big so I'm not worried. You will encounter some wobble when doing tricep dips but for me I don't mind as it has made me mindful of achieving proper form and balance. It is no longer an issue at this point. The sit-up bar should've been made with a center bolt to keep it secure because it will slide a little when you stand on it to do knee raises. The push-up bars are great for doing push ups and for standing on when doing dips. No issues there. I'm 6 ft, 225 lbs and man is this thing challenging! I've had noticeable gains in muscle and strength in a short time and the changes in my body are exciting to see. I know I'll be in great shape for my vacation in November. I'll admit there are a few flaws in manufacturing that could be easily resolved but they're not significant enough to keep from making this purchase. The fact that the dip bars fold up and away is huge because many other towers don't have this feature. Without it you'll struggle to avoid hitting the dip supports making pull-ups awkward. It's the number one reason I bought it. Is the Marcy Power Tower perfect? No, but it's well worth the price and overall is well made. It's angled properly according to the human body's design and it easily fits in a corner of a room without taking up much space. For less than $200 bucks it's a no brainer and I'm very pleased with this purchase. I hope this helps.

Looks really nice. Fairly sturdy. Assembly was moderately easy, except I had to widen a couple of the holes with a dremel tool as they didn't originally align (that was while loosely putting the parts together -- they simply could not fit together without modification to a couple holes). The logo on the backpad is also very off-center. If if weren't for a few flaws, I'd give five stars.

Great product very sturdy and easy to assemble. I would like more grip option for the pull up bar and it is a bit wobbly. Maybe if some floor grips or caps for the bottom portion was included that would fix this issue.

In cyberspace, many options can be found for this type of configuration. I ultimately decided on this one for the following reasons: ~Its design enables you to place the equipment into a corner of the room, which is great, because these things could really dominate a smaller room. ~The Marcy name is trusted to manufacture reliable and sturdy home gym equipment. ~It was reasonably priced. It came shipped in a box that looked like Ikea's engineers had a hand in it, with everything nestled in tightly and securely. The hardware was shrink-wrapped against cardboard and labeled with part numbers. This was a Godsend since the first step of assembly is usually that tortuous ritual of making little piles of each part pulled out of that one bag with everything thrown into it. I assembled it alone, and it was really no problem. Two people would make it REALLY easy. Workouts have not made the bolts work loose or revealed any instability in the Marcy Power Tower. The fact the dip/ab handles can be lifted up out of the way when using the pull up/chin up bar is a nice feature. The padding on the armrests and the foam for the sit-up foot pegs both seem to be able to withstand the test of time. I am very pleased with this purchase.
