SPORTSROYALS Free Standing Pull Up Bar, Power Tower for Home Gym Training

I totally love this thing. First off, I should point out that I'm not a tall or heavy guy--around Tom Cruise size but lighter with less and worse hair. If you're a lot bigger maybe my review might be off some; however, it took me a long, long time to settle on this particular unit, and in the process of settling on it, I did extensive research. Even quite large guys seemed to be nearly universally completely satisfied with it. I like how easy it is to alter the height, as I'm using it in a garage under a garage door. It has every exercise that I wanted in a Power Tower, specifically, a pull-up/chin-up bar, an adjustable leg raise station, dip bars, and elevated push-up grab handles. Also, just as important to me, it isn't fitted out with any gimmicks or nonsense. This tower is simple, sturdy, and basic yet complete. I love that the pull-up/chin-up bar isn't attached centrally, but instead in two places, near each end of the bar. This makes it, in my case, an extremely solid overhead bar for attaching length-adjustable gymnastic rings, Fitarc neutral grips, a TRX suspension trainer, a Body Solid dog bone grip, and fat bar grips near each end. The bar length is such that it remains grabbable at every intended spot after storing only the neutral grips. The rings and the TRX hang backwards out-of-the-way behind the tower when not in use. For me, this power tower is totally solid and unshakeable, including when using a dipping belt (which takes Olympic weights) to increase my body weight. It does seem like a decent feature that the handles and armrests are tilted some on the leg lift station, not to mention, that it's super nice that the backrest is in-and-out adjustable. ( I especially love that I can move the backrest so far back and the handles so far forward that my back is well clear of the backrest while doing leg raises and similar stuff). So, reiterating, after reading seemingly countless possible power towers reviews (far more than just the Amazon ones) over many days, I felt very confident buying this particular power tower, and after a decent amount of use, my decision feels fully validated. For the money, I think it's a terrific value. In all respects, I love this thing and can't recommend it enough, especially when its price is considered versus its apparent quality and excellent functionality. As of today, after a couple weeks of use, I'm 100% totally satisfied.

I'm very pleased - this is a nice bit of equipment. I chose it over others because of the weight - over 60 Lbs vs 50 lbs or less for most of the lesser priced units. It's mainly because the tubing is thicker on this unit - 2mm vs 1.5mm for most others. Even the 2mm is not all that heavy duty, those others must be like tin foil. I have seen others mention wobble but that must be due to improper assembly or uneven floor surface, because this is very sturdy with no wobble at all and I weigh 185 lbs. Instructions are WAY overcomplicated, the single most important keys to assembling this are just the two base pieces and the 2 upright pieces labeled L and R. Step 1 should just be mount upright L to one of the base pieces (base pieces are identical, use either) by inserting the 4 mounting bolts from the BOTTOM of the base piece and lining up those bolts with the holes in the upright piece L. Start the lock nut onto those mounting bolts so they don't slip out of place, then turn that section (now a unit comprised of the base piece plus the upright piece) onto it's side and TIGHTEN ALL 4 BOLTS as tightly as you can. Repeat that with the other base piece and upright R. Now you have the critical foundation already lined up and very secure - those two base pieces and the two uprights L and R form the "skeleton" to which the rest of the unit can be attached and tightened. Step 2 would be to place those two sections L and R you just assembled across from each other (obviously you want to keep the L and R on the correct side) and maneuver the bracing bars into place. One person can EASILY do this, the L and R sections you firmly assembled are very stable. You can just slide them on the floor as needed to get the spacing required to position the bracing bars into place. Insert the mounting bolts for each of those bracing bars but DON'T tighten them completely yet. THEN you put all the other pieces onto the "skeleton" and tighten EVERYTHING as tightly as possible. The instructions tell you to mount the arms and pads first, and to NOT tighten the base until the end of the assembly but the problem with that is once you get all the pieces together it is impossible to keep things in line as you tighten the bolts for the base because you HAVE to be able to access the BOTTOM of it and you can imagine trying to tilt that entire assembly from side to side to reach those bolts, OF COURSE it is never going to be stable because everything is flopping around as you try to tighten all the bolts! Do it the way I point out and as long as your floor surface is level you should have a very solid unit indeed. My unit fit together very well and is solid as a rock. I am very happy, glad I spent a little extra to get a heavier unit and I cannot imagine this will not last me as long as I need it. Well worth the money.

First off the product was packaged extremely well and once put together it was very sturdy. I like how there is multiple different exercises I can accomplish on it. However the instructions are hard to understand. Meaning that yes it labels some of the screw parts you use within each step but not how many and the screw needed in the picture is so small that it is hard to see what direction it goes. On top of that just step 1 and step 2 in the instruction booklet don’t match the video in the product description. The instructions show to install the base bracket and base connector first but the video shows to do the virtual tubes with the base brackets first. Plus the instructions show to install the M10*65 screw with washer at the bottom of the base brackets and the nut on top of the bracket but the video shows them installing one facing up and one facing down and then the next clip of the finished connection in the video shows them all installed facing down. Very inconsistent. So the instruction booklet and the instruction video do not match at all right from the start. Some of the preinstalled roller wheels on the assist assembly roll while the others do not. In my case, 2 of the 4 wheels on the left pole rolls while the other 2 don’t budge. Same issue on the right pole. I tried losing up the screw/nut and tried some lubricant but didn’t resolve it. The assist is not smooth at all. It’s very jerky going up and it doesn’t lift you back to the top where you started. Something I’ll have to get used to as compared to the commercial model machines as the gym that lift all the way up and down with ease with you. All that aside it’s a very nice machine for the price. You get what you paid for. Will continue to use this in my current weekly routine.

I was iffy at first but after building it I am very satisfied. It's quite stable, offers a variety of workouts with various degrees of movement for each. This was a steal for the price. High quality metal and an elegant design.

I have had this power tower for almost two weeks now and tonight was the first time I got to really get in a good workout on it. Despite what other reviews may say I have found it to be incredibly sturdy and stable. I weigh 255 pounds and I can stand on the middle bar and do negative chin ups of a sort where I let my arms all the way out and hang forward off of the machine, then curl my biceps to bring myself back up to the bar. I'm working my way up to doing real chin ups but this is all I can manage right now at my starting point. The moral of the story though is that the machine does not feel tippy at all until I get all the way out from the bar, and then it still doesn't really move. I am not recommending that anyone do this particular move, just demonstrating the stability of the unit. Dips do not really flex the dip handles. They seem sturdy and secure. I kind of wish there was a low bar of some kind for doing Australian rows but that's just because it seems more like doing a pull up. I have been doing the Australian rows with the dip handles anyway and I definitely feel that it's working out my back. One day I will be able to do real pull ups but we all gotta start somewhere. The roman chair for doing leg lifts is one of the main reasons that I purchased this piece of equipment. I have minor back issues and traditional sit ups or crunches really make my back seem to lock up in some very unpleasant way. With this machine I can get a better ab workout and it doesn't seem to bother my back nearly as much as crunches. One negative is that the uprights that hold the pull up bar seem to limit the grip variation available on the tower. I can do wide pull up position and chin up position but as a large framed man I cannot do a close grip pull up on the machine. This is a really moot point as I can't do a close hand pull up anyway but may be interesting to some. I had no trouble whatsoever assembling the unit in about forty minutes with minimal references to the instructions. This is not the first time I have ever held a tool so YMMV. This is my first power tower and the very beginning of my journey with calisthenics so I don't really know what I'm doing but I feel like I got a very decent price on a very decent piece of equipment that should serve me well for a long time. I am entirely confident that repeated and prolonged use of this power tower could be beneficial to my health. Buying it won't do anything for you. You actually have to use the thing.

Great quality. Easy assembly. Extremely sturdy. Would buy again.

Its a good machine but the materials used sh p old be a little thicker or heavier. It works as it should but feels flimsy and sometime makes me unsteady or nervous.

Very nice pull up bar!!! It says require 2 people, but I installed it by myself. Instruction is clear, tools are provided. I put it in my home office on top of the carpet, I worried it might shake a little bit, but it is indeed super stable.

*** recensito dopo 2 anni di utilizzo *** Per una serie di motivi di salute, sono ormai anni che mi alleno a casa, nello specifico in camera da letto. Per poter eseguire esercizi un po' più complessi del semplice sollevamento pesi avevo bisogno di una struttura a cui poter collegare dei cavi, fissare delle bende elastiche e , più in là, fare esercizi a corpo libero come le trazioni o chest dip. Ovviamente mi serviva stabile ma non gigantesca dato che in camera, oltre che per questa power station c'è bisogno di avere spazio per altro. QUESTA. È.PERFETTA. La base è piuttosto lunga (1 metro) e i piedini a T la rendono ancora più stabile, così come la barra di collegamento alla base(dove ho appoggiato i pesi) e quella tra i 2 pilasti verticali. Sarebbe presente una terza, a metà altezza, con anche un cuscino per appoggiare la schiena in base agli esercizi svolti ma quella ho deciso di non montarla perchè mi risultava scomoda per aprire la finestra retrostante. Anche senza , risulta solida e stabile. Per il resto c'è di tutto: i braccioli sono comodi e leggermente inclinati verso l'interno per permettere una presa migliore; la barra per le trazioni è facilmente rimovibile grazie alle viti a manopola ed è regolabile in altezza con altrettante manopole poste vicino ai braccioli; gli archi di sostegno sulle basi sono utili anche come appoggio per "salire"; Con un po' di fantasia è possibile farci qualunque cosa : legare elastici alla barra di trazione o farli passare dietro ad uno dei piloni , montare un sistema di carrucole per ottenere una struttura dotata di cavi...insomma, il limite è il cielo! Oltretutto, quando non utilizzata o nei periodi di pigrizia , si presta benissimo a fare da attaccatutto : vestiti, zaini, lenzuola... In poche parole, l'acquisto perfetto per il single appassionato di palestra. Immancabile in qualunque home gym

Unexpected super good quality, easy to assemble, very stable, perfect for it’s price.

Allem in allem erfüllt es seine Aufgabe. Aufbau war verständlich und einfach alleine in 30 minuten zu bewältigen. Bei erster Benutzung hat alles funktioniert und standgehalten, zu mir 189cm groß und 115kg schwer. Was ich bemängeln muss ist einmal das Rückenpolster da es etwas zu kurz ist und beim dran lehnen mir sehr stark in den unteren Rücken drückt mit der Kante. Die Armpolster sind etwas kurz. Ich würde mir wünschen das die Dip Stangen circa 10cm hängen würden wäre ein angenehmerer Start so muss ich leicht explosiv nach oben gehen vorallem wenn ich Leg Raises machen möchte. Für meine Verlobte (177cm) haben wir einen kleineren Hocker drunter gestellt. Man muss auch aufpassen beim hinuntergehen da man gelegentlich auf das Stabilisierungseisen unten gerne mal drauf Tritt, könnte auf Dauer evtl Schaden nehmen. Beim Klimmzug komm ich ab und an an die Stabilisierungsstange in der mitte mit meinem Knie, beim ersten mal war ich auch skeptisch ob die 2 Schrauben oben wirklich die Klimmzugstange halten würden, haben Sie auch wenn es etwas geknackst hat. 😬 Bei den Dips finde ich wackelt der Powertower doch gerne mal. Aber die Preis Leistung insgesamt ist Inordnung, fühlt sich auch alles wertig verarbeitet an. Hab Ihn jetzt seit längerem in Benutzung ist zwar Gewöhnungsbedürftig aber anhand dessen das der Preis im Angebot echt super ist, kann man schon 5 Sterne geben

Really impressed with this pull-up bar station! Very quick delivery and surprisingly easy to set up — just follow the instructions. The number of screws and bolts is engraved on the plastic tray where they’re packed, so you won’t get them mixed up. If you follow the instructions, you can have it built in about 15 minutes! The station itself is excellent — very sturdy and stable, and you can easily adjust the height of the bar. Overall, I’m really impressed with the quality and how easy it was to assemble. Highly recommend!

Facile à monter, prend juste du temps. Solide et les poignées au sol sont pratiques pour les pompes. Elle ne tangue pas, ce qui est rassurant.
