ONETWOFITFoldable Power Tower Pull Up Bar Station, Multi-Function Adjustable Height Dip Station for Home Gym Workout, Strength Training Fitness Equipment, Pull Up Stand 360LBS

Note: Be extremely careful and safe when using this machine. Follow the instructions and triple check that everything is secured. Last thing you want is the telescopic frame folding on you or the entire apparatus falling over while you're using it.I'm trying to get in better shape and chin ups are one of the basic, fundamental exercises. Most people cannot do even 1 yet is vital for personal fitness and well-being just like the push-up.A standard pull up bar is cheap and secured but I live in a condo and am not allowed to drill into walls. I first started with a pull up bar that affixes on the door frame. I started to make progress but after a couple weeks I noticed that the top of the door frame was starting to tear. I immediately ceased using the bar and promptly got rid of it.I scoured Amazon and came across many different products. I needed something that I could fold after use as I am quite limited in space but also economically justified. After careful research, I came across the Onetwofit Power Pull Up Bar Station. It was one of a kind. It looked sturdy and is compact once folded. For the price and its function it can't be beat and at the time of writing comes with a coupon which drastically lowers the price.The dimensions of the box is approximately 51x9x13 and, according to Amazon product page, weighs about 50-60 lbs give or take. It didn't feel that heavy to me but it could be just me. Definitely get assistance when lifting the box if this is heavy/too tall for you. The contents were very compact and secured with no room for movement.At its lowest I measured 49" (4 feet) and fully extended to max height I measured 86.5" (7'2"). When folded completely the base is 9x10. This is really compact and you could fit this in the trunk or back seat of many sedans. I store it under my TV but you can put it almost anywhere. The product is advertised as being able to hold up to 400 lbs. I'm 250 lbs and it never shook nor moved while using it. I didn't hear any creaking neither. The angled, H shaped base provides great stability to the frame and prevents the frame from tipping sideways when used properly. DO NOT USE any pull-up assistance cords/ropes or any other contraptions; you will fall and get injured.Be sure to triple check that all quick release handles are locked properly as well as the guide pins, reset pins, adjustment knobs and torx knobs are secured. Failing to verify that the frame and rod is secured can lead to great injury.I did have an issue that I contacted Onetwofit customer service and it was quickly and professionally resolved. If you ever have a issue with their product, contact them first. They are prompt and eager to help solve your issues.The instructions are pretty self explanatory. However, there is room for confusion in several steps that it took me some time to figure out, partly due to me just staring at the pictures.1. The quick-release handle may not lock and have tension as it should. This is due to the screw of the handle itself not screwed in to the appropriate depth. All you need to do is rotate the quick release have (remember its actually a long screw) to the right (Lefty loosey, Rightey tighty) to reduce the length of the screw and allow the quick-release to lock. Don't reduce the length too much for if this happens there will be too much tension that you won't be able to lock it (or cause damage to the washers). I have a feeling that during shipment it may have gotten loose.Refer to attached pictures in this review.2. In Step 3 and 4 on the instruction manual, put on the protective cloth WHILE the main frame is still loose. Do not lock the main frame and try to put the cloth on; there will be far too much tension and you can injure yourself. 3. In Step 6, arm rests come with stickers on to tell you which is left and which is right. Match that with the sticker on the main frame. When putting the arm rests on, you need to angle it upwards to get it in the hole on the main frame.4. In Step 8, you can disregard the portion in the picture where the telescopic tube is 5 positions up in order to store. This would make folding it pointless. The telescopic tube can be all the way down as it was when shipped. You just need to angle the upper support rob (pull up bar) around the folding tube.Refer to attached pictures in this review.5. In Step 8, the arm rests go on the opposite side when storing.All being said I have a couple suggestions if they improve the design of the pull up station.1. Redesign the quick release handle (or at least in the manual mention that it needs to screwed in to a certain depth). I spent a good couple minutes wondering why there was no tension.2. When folded, the unit should lock so it doesn't open up while transporting it by accident. Could perhaps put a locking mechanism at the base where it folds as this is where the movement is happening. Also the folding tube at the top could have another position on the reset pin where it locks as well when folded.3. Extend the upper rod a bit more so we can docwide grip pull ups4. Extend the length the arm rest so those of us with big hands can do dips easier. My hands barely fit and felt too tight and constrained while doing dips.Hope this review helped in making your decision to see if it is right for you.

Good item. Well made. Been working out on it for the last few weeks and has helped me get in shape. Really like the fact that is collapsible. Customer service is great and immediately corrected some missing parts the package missed.

The assembly of this pull up bar station was fairly straightforward; it took me about 20-30 minutes to put together by myself. For a lightweight pull up station, it is quite sturdy and stable during each variation of workout. Be aware that you do feel it shake a little when you reach the top during pull up, but it shouldn't affect you too much from getting an effective workout. I do think it offers good value for the money.

I like the pull up station and I plan to keep it. I need this. It arrived with minor bents on the top area where you put in the pull-up bar. I contacted the seller and they sent me a new unit for free. Very good customer service.

This dip station is a dream come true product I wished for for years due to my limited apartment space.- The machine's legs have adjustable pads that allow for stabilization on uneven surfaces.- It is sturdier than you might think. Even at its max extended height.- The vertical extendable bars extend very far, nearly doubling from base height.- I am able to perform dips, pullups, and leg raises with no issues.- Assembly was quick and stowing the machine is as simple as it gets -- takes 1 minute at most.- Shipping was flawless. Everything was neatly packaged and blemish-free.I enhanced the utility of this station by combining it with a pulley system that I hooked over the pullup bar.Using this system I can do much more:- Cable lat pulldowns. I can stabilize myself by hooking my feet under the handles on the legs of the machine.- Tricep extensions, face pulls, overhead (superman) bicep curls, cable flyes, etc.- By anchoring a second cable to the handle on the machine's leg, I can even do bicep curls, shrugs, upright rows, lateral delt raises, seated rows etc.- The dip bars of this station can also serve as a rack to hold a barbell if you want to do squats or overhead presses.Some things to keep in mind:- Before doing pull-ups, it is a good idea to first hook up the piece of fabric (with the OneTwoFit logo printed on it). When doing pullups, we might naturally move our legs forward and this provides a cushioned barrier between our shins and the metals connecting the two sides of the machine.- Regularly make sure all the pins fully inserted and secured before each workout.One improvement I would like on this machine:The pullup bar's handles are wielded too close to the base which makes hammer grip effectively impossible unless you use 3 fingers.
