Ainfox Power Tower, Capacity 550 Lbs Pull Up Bar Tower Dip Stands Fitness Gym Office

Dips - When I do dips, there is no rocking or flexing of the Power Tower. It feels really solid. I've been trying to find a way to work all three heads of the triceps and those dips deliver such a nice pump. Vertical Knee Raise - The handles are a bit too close to my torso for me to use. When I use the handles, my body is pushed too high for the back cushion to support me. I've found a way to modify the exercise so that it works nicely. Pull Up and Chin Up bars - I use the tallest setting for the bar and that lets the chin/pull up bar travel forwards and backwards a little bit but once I put my weight on it, it's solid. I'm too tall to freely hang from the pull/chin up bar so bending my knees is a must. Assembly - all of the nuts, bolts, and washers come packaged and labeled nicely so that made assembly a lot simpler. The only advice I would give is that you have a socket set on hand for assembly. I'm sure that the included tools allow you to assemble the unit but after using the included tools (the two "wrenches") on a handful of bolts I realized assembly was going to take hours and I was concerned for my knuckles after a few slips of the wrench. Safety - it is very important to position the unit on a level flat surface. I have not put any sandbags or other weights on top of my Power Tower yet and I don't see a need to now that it's on a level flat surface. Capacity - If I ever get to the point where I need to wear weights when doing dips, I will be glad that this Power Tower handles 550 pounds. Delivery - The product actually arrived a day early and in excellent condition. Oily Smell - I've heard a few people mention an oily smell. I can confirm that it smells oily but it's only mildly annoying when I sniff my hands after using the Power Tower. I keep it in my two-car garage and it does not stink up the garage. For all of the people who were bothered by the oily smell, I hope that the smell dissipates over time. If I weren't so tall and heavy, I would give the product 4 stars for the few height/weight related shortcomings I mentioned above, but as someone in the 99th percentile for height and 90-something percentile for weight, I want to be fair to this fine product (with a great price).

First off this is my first time purchasing anything like this pull station. The instructions and putting it together was a breeeze and it was definitely easy to follow the instructions. The material and build looks great and I do like the quality of the product. I weight 230-240 6’1 and I can use this without issue. Now when I do pull-ups my weight is supported and the the product does not move and I trust it which is important. When I do dips the product does sway more. When I first began doing dips it was swaying more but I believe it was do to me not not use to the movement because body weight exercises are not my strong suit. After getting my body use to doing dips I can say the sturdiness improved, however, I still noticed the product swaying. Again I trust it and it does feel as if it will break but the company should put more weight on the back end to support the persons weight on the front. The overall I am happy with the purchase and rate it 4 stars. I would recommend the purchase. Having a few home gym pieces is essential this day in age and the product is a good addition.

I ordered this being a little skeptical that it could hold my weight (250lbs) also had concerns with my height (6'2) being an issue. The day before it arrived I got an email from the company saying that the instructions that comes with it where hard to read, and they sent me updated instructions via email. Already up a notch in my book. The power tower arrived 3 days after I ordered it....and I live in Hawaii. I was stoked. Putting it together: the instructions they emailed was super easy. Use your own tools, way easier. All the parts where there undamaged. The nuts and bolts where scattered but still in their packaging. Took an extra 10min to figure out which was what..then total time took maybe an hour to put together. Test time: definitely holds my weight plus more. It does shake just a little, but for what I paid for it I really can't complain and it was expected. It doesnt shake to the point where I can't do the exercise. If its wobbling and shaking a lot for you it may be defective or you need to check your connections. All in all great buying experience, and great product.

Excellent power tower for the money! I'm a heavy guy at just under 240lbs and this unit has been steady. The only thing for me, being so heavy, is it's just a little wobbly when doing dips, so what I did was place a shelf of weights (kettlebells) on the rear to reinforce stability. I have been using it for about a month and had no problems so far. I highly recommend purchasing this if you are looking for a great power tower for a price that's hard to beat! When assembling, it really helps to have your own tools on hand. It takes about an hour to assemble.

UPDATE: The replacement unit was free of defects and it assembled easily, with the help of my personal socket set (the included wrenches are OK, but the socket wrench is wayyy easier). It is very stable, with only a slight wobble. My only complaint is that I have to have it on the second shortest setting due to the 71" basement ceilings. At that height, my head hits the pullup bar when doing dips, and my elbows hit the arm pads when doing pullups. Right now my solution has been to remove the pullup bar, with plans to mount it separately from my basement ceiling. With the pullup bar removed, it makes an excellent dip and ab station. (Original Review):The lower center crossbar support was not welded properly. One of the side brackets was about 45 degrees rotated, so that when assembled, the front foot of one of the sides of the tower was approx 6 inches off the ground! I'll update the review after I receive the replacement unit from Amazon.

I've been using the Ainfox Power Tower for about 3 weeks now. I purchased it because of the weight capacity. I'm about 220 pound and can do 12 reps on the dip bar. I have to use about 25-30 pounds of weight to hold the back ends of the tower to keep it from moving/wobbling--so about 50-60 pounds of weight holding it down--in which it barely wobbles. The Ainfox Power Tower doesn't wobble much when doing pullups, which I would say it feels pretty stable and sturdy when I currently do my max of 8 reps. I fixed the height of the pullup bar so I can reach the bar with standing, just in case the pullup bar does give way. As for putting it together, the instructions with the bolts were a bit off. For example, the instructions would say use a certain letter bolt, but it doesn't match with the instruction shown. So I would just go by what I saw instead of the the instructions wanted. With that being mentioned, it was fairly easy to assemble with 2 people, even with the instructions not being precise. All in all, I think it was a good purchase for me.

I decided I have to begin reviewing my purchases at Amazon. The company is too big now and so many of us depend on the convenience they offer yet several stories have been exposed about the poor treatment and over-reaching expectations of employees, especially with the Prime orders; no breaks, long hours, little pay, disciplinary actions when working conditions are woeful. We are all contributors to this when we continue to purchase and expect our items to arrive next day/ 2nd day... I don't particularly like it when people review an item negatively because of shipping, either. The item purchased doesn't usually have anything to do with shipping. And the shipping doesn't really have much to do with the product or the manufacturer. HOWEVER ,AMAZON does not provide a means to get assistance with all of the products they sell on the site. It's often times very difficult to contact Amazon and actually speak to a person who can offer real solutions. So, I can see now why people complain about shipping here. It's the only way to get the story out and maybe have the company respond to a negative review when Amazon cannot help. I purchased this item. It seems like a decent product. The tower is fairly easy to assemble. The pieces are cut well, no wonky drill holes that don't line up, etc... When you put it together, it's sturdy. I'm sure if I am ever able to use it, it will do the job I expect it to. I began assembling most of the item before I realized that 4 essential pieces to the assembly were missing. They are also not items that can be found at any hardware store - like screws or nuts. One essential piece missing is the adjustment knobs for the pull up bar. The other is the end plugs to keep the pull up bar in place. There is no way to contact the company for help on this. Amazon said I could return the item for an exchange or a refund. This means I would have to dissemble the entire piece and find a box to pack it in. Some of the pieces are 5 feet tall. While the piece arrived fairly well packaged, it was not packed in a box that was reusable once opened. So, scouting a box for the item to return it in would be my only option. When I contacted Amazon, they were not forthcoming with any options to forego packing. They just shrugged and said "sorry we haven't met your expectations", which was probably a bot. It's strange that these companies cannot be contacted for parts. My suggestion to anyone who wants to buy something like this is, make sure you can contact someone for assistance and make sure they can fully assist you without wasting a ton of your time with assembly, breakdown and packing/shipping before you make the commitment. Or find another tower sold by a company that is accessible.

Had my eye on this item for quite a while now, and specifically chose it for how compact and space-saving it is. It is replacing my old over-the-door chin-up bar, and since I placed my home gym in an unused spare bedroom, (I'd rather use my garage for what it was meant for, storing/protecting my vehicle) I need to conserve as much space as possible. It took maybe about an hour n thirty min to put together due to the instructions being somewhat lacking, and some pieces that were warped and had to be forced together in order to get the bolts screwed in properly. It does have an oily smell that others have noted, but I don't mind it much, and so far I have not noticed that it tips forward when I use it for dips, but then I'm only 5'7" 160lbs. Also, for some reason the back cushion says "Westfital", instead of "Ainfox" like in the Amazon description, other than that I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase.
