Exellent value

Date:April 3, 2012

"Got this item on sale last week and couldn't be happier. It's as sturdy as any station at the gym and at least half the price of name brand equipment. Assembly took a bit of time, but then again I did it alone when the manual recommends two people. Very good product, I would buy Apex gear again for sure."

Good value

Date:March 23, 2012

"This was a great addition to my home gym. It easily supports my weight @ 195lb.
I had to put some padding on the inner bar because I was getting calluses from doing close grip pull ups.
It does get a little wobbly when doing dips, but putting some weights on the back side fixed that.
It's a great buy when it's on sale for $170, which it seems to be every other month."

Amazing Deal

Date:February 3, 2012

"It is very difficult to find a pullup, pushup and dip station like this one for less than 200 dollars. Most of them are between 250-600.

The only downsides are that some of the handle grips can slide, wide grip handles are fine for me.

Overall I'm very satisfied with it."

Solid build but rubber parts stink

Date:November 7, 2011

"While this unit is good value for money and trumps the garbage offered at Wall-Mart Canada, it does have a couple of drawbacks. The biggest one being that the rubber parts smell like a combination of diesel fuel and toxic waste. I removed all rubber parts from the unit and placed them in my back yard to bake in the sun. They have been there for a couple of weeks but still smell terrible. I now use felt pads for the base. The other issue I had was that it was covered a thin coat of what smells like used motor oil. This being said, it was easy to assemble and seems fairly stable so far. If you have the money I would recommend something made in Canada, if not, this unit (on sale) is probably your best option."

Solid setup, slippery grips

Date:April 8, 2011

"I saw this on sale and got to the store just as they ran out, thankfully they rain checked it for me and a week later called. Assembly is pretty easy, helps to have a ratchet, and took maybe an hour or so(?). As someone said, on concrete it wobbles a bit so itll take time to get it balanced.

The only problem I have is right off the start I start doing pull ups and the grips are sliding off! They twist and can be pulled right off, seems a little budget but hopefully I'll find a workaround to this."

For the price, definitely hard to beat...

Date:November 19, 2010

"I was skeptical of how well this was going to work, as a similar type unit at another "fitness" store was selling for $600. It was obvious that the $600 unit had more welds and slightly thicker gauge steel...but, for less than $200 (on sale), we decided mostly based on other reviews here - it was worth taking a chance on.

Glad I did. I'm medium build (160 lbs, and 5'11), and the grips and padding was at the perfect height. There was also very little (or no) flex in the unit when doing the exercises - which was the biggest concern. Very solid feeling. I'd guess it probably be still very solid for up to 200lbs.

Also - kudos to the packaging. The way the bolts/nuts/washers are wrapped makes it incredibly easy to put together (not wasting time determining if you have the correct size).

Only have had two weeks, but have very little concern this won't last..."

A Diamond in the rough

Date:September 11, 2010

"This is a must for your home gym. I have enjoyed 4 of the 5 exercises possible with this machine; pull-up, chin-up, vertical knee raise & dip. I have yet to use this for push-ups which is what the small bars are intended for on the bottom ( I use the perfect push up instead). As the previous reviewers mentioned, this unit is very sturdy, and is the best of it's kind you will find for the price. Unless you find a unit that offers something more than this one does in terms of exercises that you will actually use, look no further. I carried this to my basement in pieces, as the box is quite heavy and requires 2 people to carry and load it. A van or truck is not necessary, but they would make transporting and loading the box a bit easier. Use a power tool if you can to tighten some of the bolts, as some of them require a lot of tightening. Also, I used a bit of soapy water to slide on the rubber handle grips. Lastly, because I set this on a concrete floor, the unit wobbled very slightly. Once I positioned the unit where I wanted it I tried to loosen some of the bolts and then tightening them to see if the unit would level itself out on the uneven concrete floor. I got almost 100 % level but I had to insert a self adhesive felt pad under two of the rubber feet to get it absolutely wobble free and perfect. I love this unit, and since adding it to my home gym, it has made a huge difference in my overall fitness level and has made working out more enjoyable."

Superb

Date:July 15, 2010

"Like the reviewers say- its very good.

The price is the best you will find in Canada and the quality just makes it even a better.
If you visit a store and they dont have it on display, they might have it their warehouse in the back- bring the product code so that they can check ahead of time (or call).
The guys at the store helped me load into my small car (it fit fine with the seats down in my civic)
Takes a while to assemble ( hour+) and you may need an extra body to help.

Honestly, the quality is excellent- this unit could easily be used in a professional gym or a school...its really sturdy and big...
The guy in the photo must be 5 feet tall, because the unit is around 8 feet in height (but whatever room you put it in, you will need alittle more than that to do pull ups).
the rubber parts did smell when i took it out of the box- so i let them soak in a bucket of dish wishing soap to help get rid of the odor while i was assembling. No problem now.
Great product - very very happy."

Insanely good

Date:April 30, 2010

"You just can't beat this. I weigh over 200 pounds, been using this thing 6 days a week for the past year and its solid as a rock. You just can't beat this piece for the value. Push ups, dips, wide grip and normal pull ups, chin ups, leg raises, hanging leg raises, you can attach resistance bands all over it and the list goes on. Buy it now or keep getting sand kicked in your face at the beach."

Carpet in Basement

Question:

Need a pull-up option in our basement which has no doorway options so I am considering this unit. I have low pile carpet in the basement without any bare floor. Any reader experience on the stability of this tower on carpet?

Answer:

I use mine on carpet, at first it was wobbly a bit, but after several uses it settled in the carpet like anything else.

Answer:

You may want to consider adding something to weigh it down such as sandbags but you should have no issue on carpet.

How best to do face-up supine bodyweight rows?

Question:

I am thinking either do narrow elbows-in neutral rows on the dip bar or wide elbows-out prone grip rows on the pull up handles, maybe put feet on the power tower pads (bent knees)?

tyciol

1 year, 1 month ago

Answer:

For dips, elbows in the narrow position, close to the body, shifts the muscle emphasis more to the tricep muscles as opposed to elbows out, further away from the body, shifting the emphasis to the pectorals (chest) muscles.

Wider grip on the pull-up bar will shift emphasis to the latissimus dorsi muscle whereas a narrow grip shifts the emphasis to the bicep muscles.

Feet up or down (bent or unbent knees) makes no difference to muscle development other than personal user preference.

How does it fix to the ground?

Question:

I was wondering if it could take my weight 250 LBS. Also how do I fix it to the ground, do I need to use nuts and bolts or its heavy enough to stand on the ground.

Answer:

If you want to buy a bag of construction sand, it's usually around $5-6 for 20kg (66lbs) so a couple of those would make you feel safe.

tyciol

Answer:

The unit says max 300 LBS, and there's no need to fix it to the ground. If needed you could probably throw some sandbags on it to keep it from rocking.

Is it tall enough to use for someone 6' 3"?

Anonymous

1 year, 7 months ago

Answer:

I'm 5'11, and it's perfect for me...the wide grips fit in my hands.

When up on the pads to do leg lifts, with my legs hanging straight, and feet relaxes (toes pointing down somewhat), I have a couple inches to spare...However, I usually bend my knees slightly anyway.

I would think at 6'3, you'd still be fine - since this tower is all about getting your body off the ground anyway. I did a quick measure, and it looks like the bar is about 86" from the ground.
