Assisted Pull Up Machine, GMWD 600LBS Leverage Assisted Chin and Dip Machine, 4 in 1 Plate Loaded Gym Equipment, Pull Up Machine with 1:1 Counterweight System & Band Peg for Home Gym

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.

The powder coat was chipped in a few places. The instructions were wrong in a few places, but it was easy to figure out how to do it correctly. The final product does seem sturdy and works as advertised. The weight pegs have a plastic cover. I need to adjust the tightness of the bolts to get the mechanism a little smoother. The knee pad is great. The dip and 90 bars have nice padding. The main bar has knurling.

Very heavy duty. Not filmsy. Came in two boxes. Think one box weighed 80 pounds. There are like 16 steps to put together. Parts clearly marked. ( think step six has typo for which bolt to use but easy enough to figure out. ). This is very easy to assemble and it is an incredible machine that is sturdy and well designed. Took less than three hours to assemble.

This is an excellent machine, Sturdy, well made and easy to fellow direction, you just have to take your time, go step by step, and you will be very pleased, im 69yrs old and put it together by myself, with out any real effort. Just fellow the direction.

This is a great pull up assist machine that was very easy to assemble. Written instructions are great, but the video instructions on Amazon are truly the best - plus every part comes in a bag with the part number marked on the bag. One thing incorrect in the instructions is where the main bushing goes - but that is intuitive as only one hole on the machine will fit it, and it's the only logical place for the bushing. However, this is a VERY heavy machine. You will need two people to move some parts and assemble certain sections. Comes in two boxes. One of them is about eight foot long, and I'm guessing weighs around 150 lbs. Both boxes require two people to move them. I highly recommend the machine if you want a pull up assist. Great price - excellent engineering.

When I went to open the boxes, there was no set-up manual, everything was opened and inside was a collection of random workout machine parts. The pieces make no sense.

If you have plates its def a great buy. I had to purchase some but no biggie. The machine itself works as intended. Only thing i recommend is add grease as your building it . It was squeaking kinda bad but added the grease and its quiet and feels smoother on the motion now.

Assembly was a test of patience, but what a great machine - i love it!
