Comments about POWER TOWER:

Some of the best ways to work out without destroying any muscles is to use your own body weight, you get it all here! This also helps with stretching and overall range of motion for different areas of the body. One can hold a medicine ball or free weights on a belt if you need additional resistance.

I can't say there is anything i don't like :)

Comments about POWER TOWER:

I looked at many websites trying to find a pull-up tower. They were either too expensive or too wimpy. I found the Power Tower in the Brookstone catalog for [$]. Based on the good reviews, I purchased it. The reviews were right: it’s sturdy and well designed and an excellent value. The assembly was fairly easy and the instructions are clear.

Comments about POWER TOWER:

I wanted something to do crunches, my son wanted to be able to do pull ups. This lets you do both, plus push-ups.

Tower was shipped well packaged and was easy to put together. It's very sturdy, the picture doesn't do it justice.

We have a Weider dual station home gym, have had it for quite a few years and we've been happy with the home gym, and, their website is great for ordering replacement parts.

I highly recommend the Power Tower and any Weider products.

No cons.

Comments about POWER TOWER:

I found the Power Tower easy to set up and use. It has everything I need all in one compact unit. I can do push-ups, pull-ups (multiple grips and positions), dips, back-pulls, leg lifts, and stretches. I would like to have a slightly shorter model as we have low celinigs and I cannot do a full pull-up for fear of hitting my head.

Comments about POWER TOWER:

This product is fantastic for building toning your shoulders, chest and arms. I also love to put ankle weights 2.5 lbs each on my feet while doing leg lifts. My legs have definitely become more toned while using this machine and my waist has gone more in from doing the side leg lifts. I think I will use this machine forever. Love it!!!

Comments about POWER TOWER:

We bought this mainly for the pull-up bar, but the whole tower was a good value. My husband and I are doing a home workout program that requires a lot of pull-ups. Since I am not up to the point of doing pull-ups yet, I use resistance bands looped over the bar while my husband uses the bar for pull-ups. It can take all of that, (as long as he doesn't get off of the thing while I am still pulling on resistance bands from the side!) It is obviously very large and takes up a lot of room.

Comments about POWER TOWER:

This product is great if you're already in decent shape but would like to tone up and strengthen a little more. If you don't have good upper body strength, this product might be difficult for you. I like that it's sturdy and can be used many different ways. It's bulky, though. And if you don't have a lot of room, you might find it hard to use both sides of the Tower easily.
