This piece of exercise equipment is a total bargain. The construction is really solid and it was easy to put together even for one person. It was a bit of a challenge at times, but it was definitely doable. I’m extremely satisfied. Read more

I never really liked pull up assist bands so I had been on the lookout for an assisted pull up machine for quite some time and ideally one that wouldn't break the bank. I was happy to find this machine and since it let's you add your own plates, it kept the cost low. But this is not a cheap machine at all. The construction is very solid and it will hold up to many years of use. The counterweight mechanism on this works very uniformly unlike pull up bands which reduce the support as you pull up higher. For me this mechanism works better. Also this works very effectively for assisted dips, which has been my other problem area. Both pull ups and dips are two fundamental body weight exercises and I am glad that I found a machine that can help me gain proficiency in these two exercises. Only con I could think of was the install instructions are very minimal and it's easy to make mistakes if you don't pay attention to the notes in each step. I had to redo a few steps and this can get frustrating especially if you take longer to realize your mistake. But once fully assembled this machine handles like a tank. Also very pleased with the customer service of the company. I had a question about assembling one of the parts and they went over the installation details with me patiently and promptly. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Read more

My wife and I just finished assembling it. It does take 2 people to keep the components balanced and be able insert and align the various bolts ans screws. The parts are solidly built. The instructions provided are sufficient but prior experience assembling similar machines makes them much easier to digest. It helps to have a set of sockets and a battery operated ratchet. There was one instance when the instructions asked for a specific carriage bolt to be used when no such bolt was provided. Instead, we used 2 spare carriage bolts from among those that were provided. Another instance called for using large washers when all the provided large washers had already been used in previous stages of assembly. So, we had to supply ourselves with two large washers (luckily, we found 2 at home that fit). Once fully assembled, the machine felt solid. After assembly, the pivoting part that counterbalances the weights had a small amount of friction. I tried loosening the bolts that hold the pivoting axle, but that made no difference. I will try spraying WD 40 on the sides of the pivoting axle that come in contact with the frame. I used the machine for a short exercise session and it did what it was designed to do. 10 days later: the friction on the axles that pivot has gotten worse. There are 3 axles: 2 smaller ones and one large one. I disassembled the axles one at a time, extracted them, greased them and reinserted back in place (this required lots of wiggling and 2 pairs of hands). The source of friction seems to be the large axle as it had visible friction marks. My advice is to grease the axles as you are initially assembling the machine since it's a lot simpler than doing what I just did. Read more

Fun! Works great, for professional athletes as well as total novices! Add your desired weighs (gotta have your own), and hop on. For wide variety of exercises. Great for strength training, upper, lower, core. Mix it up! Love it! Definitely a favorite in our gym and used by everyone daily. I’d say the fun part is built right in. Super versatile. Great motivator even for those getting back into shape. To the designer/manufacturer: keep up the good work! Love it! Read more

Product arrives into big boxes. You will need help moving them. Assembly was fairly easy. Directions are pretty good. The bolts washers and nuts are pretty clearly labeled. For the most part, you could assemble it with one person. There is a time period where you will have to balance it where it would be much easier to have help with. Otherwise assembly took me about an hour and a half. Product is great. Very smooth very effective. I am 6 foot three and it gives me a wide enough range of motion. Very smooth. Very easy to change weights in and out. Read more

I was able to assemble the unit alone. Just took my time. It went up in 41/2 hrs. It's solid and easy to level the unit to my basement floor. Instructions were good in general but I would add the cross base before the upright specifically if assembling alone. I will let you know how well it works after a couple uses. Read more

It will ship in two boxes , the one box was beat up bad , fed x wouldn’t even deliver it the day the first box came . That’s ok the parts are individually wrapped and have lots of foam protection. The other box came the next day after they taped it back together. On the long upright square supports , if you notice the holes are symmetrical theres one hole for a pin in the middle make sure that is on the right when facing it or you will be taking the bolts and nuts off to switch it around . When installing the kneeling pad the round 2 ft bar that connects from the center uprights to the seat , you have to widen the metal under the seat or the bearing won’t fit . Simple I used a 5 or 6 in 2x6 and cut it on an angle like a wedge and pounded that in and it opened up the metal connected under the seat and it went right in and then pounded the wood wedge out . If you have that problem simple solution. I assembled the aching myself just make sure you can support the long uprights so they wont fall and hurt you or damage anything . The machine is great can do chins using good form feeling every muscle working in harmony together on the positive and negative part of the movement and the dips the same way.
