Power Tower Pull up Station

I bought this power tower after reading reviews and watching YouTube videos. I got a good deal on it at $119. I have a lower ceiling in my basement so I was looking for something with an adjustable back height. It came in a box while wrapped all the pieces were there no damage with clear instructions. We checked to make sure all the pieces were there before we started assembling it. Also, you should not tighten the screws until you're fully assembled it which is what the instructions tell you to do. It was easy to assemble and took under an hour. It is very sturdy and level even on carpet. For the people in our house we have a wide variety of height and weights and it's worked for everybody (ranging from 5'1" to 6'5" and from 110 pounds to 220 pounds). It's great to supplement a basic gym at home and work on your core. The only downside for the smaller people in the house is the arm pads on either side are a bit wide, but still within range. I was hesitant to buy this because of the low cost, but it's a great value for the money. And we save the instructions so if we ever move, it'll be easy to disassemble and reassemble. There's no wobbliness and no creaking or noises when it's in use.

4/5 overallPROS:-More sturdy than I was expecting even though it's only 90ish pounds total (I'm 6'2 190lbs at the time of Writing this and it didn't shake much for pull ups & dips... regular pullups, I don't do kipping pullups but those will shake tf out of anything)-higher quality build & look than I was expectingCONS:-NOT as tall as advertised. At the tallest setting the pullup handles measure 88 inches tall. I'm fairly tall (6'2) and got this is solely because it was the tallest one I could find, even compared to some of the expensive commercial grade ones. The advertised height said a little over 92 inches tall, and the little knobs at the top reach that height, but the handles are 4 inches shorter. I was hoping to get close to doing pullups with a fully extended body instead of bent legs, so that was a let down. But for now it's fine and if it bothers me enough I'll make some kind of wooden platform to put under it and cut out the middle. We'll see 🤷‍♂️-the instructions are very vague and the nuts/bolts/etc are not labeled. AND it never specifies when to use the "M10*20 CURVED WASHERS" so if you rush, you will definitely make mistakes. It DOES tell you when to use the other types of washers though. Assume nearly every tike you use the "M10*75 BOLTS" for the base, there should be a curved washer on both ends of the bolt-- one between the head of the bolt & the frame and one between the nut and the frame. The pictures show a curved washer by the head of the bolts, so that's all I did. But I had 12 curved washers left over. Everything is as tight as I could get it, BUT there is tiny gaps on the sides of the nuts that might bother a perfectionist... & in hindsight, there is a small table that tells how many of each part will be used on that page, I just missed it.I've attached a video with the measure HANDLE height (88") and pictures of the instructions so you can have an idea of what you're getting into.The instructions are vague, which is annoying, but NOT impossible. You CAN figure it out! Go back and forth between pictures & instructions & take your time & youll be fine.Heres some final thoughts/tips:I would recommend NOT opening all the nuts/bolts right away and instead leave them in the plastic container and take some time with a sharpie to match them with the pictures and label them with a sharpie, then cut 3 sides of each compartment to create a little flap to open that has the label on it. I've attached a pic of my empty container to show what I meant.You built it, now use it! Pullups & dips are tough, but don't get discouraged! Get some THICK resistance bands from Amazon or your local sporting goods store to help with progressive over load. If they're too thin they'll rip in half while using them. Then take baby steps, just like you did while building the dang thing... otherwise you'll end up selling it in 2 months on fb market place with the other thousands of people who gave up because it was harder than they expected.For building and using this, You got this 🤙P.s. I was going to give it a higher rating, even with bad instructions, but the misleading height annoyed me. Literally everything about it besides the misleading height and instructions is GREAT.So unless you're also tall & lanky Giraffe/chimpanzee hyprid, don't be discouraged. This is still the nicest power tower I could find and I looked pretty extensively for quite awhile 😅

Cool design but the instructions were a bit unclear for dolts like me that don’t understand how locking nuts work. The thing was wobbling like a drunk when I first put it together lol

I finally had the time to put the pull up bar together. I have not had a chance to use it yet but it seems to be pretty sturdy. The down side was that the parts are not numbered. So with that being said it took longer to put together than it should have. So you might want to label your parts while you’re verifying all parts are in the package so it makes it easier to put together.

Package seemed to be delayed in transit w no movement in tracking , I contacted the seller and the responded promptly w a tracking date. Once the package was delivered I saw the box looked like it had been dropped and ran over. I took pics before opening and sent to seller. They responded immediately and assured me if anything was missing, broken etc they would replace any parts needed and credit me back $50 plus tax for the hassle. I would buy from them again . The pull up bar was easy to assemble ( alone) in about an hour. Sturdy and is good for my home gym. Didn’t need anything crazy since I’m only 112lbs.

I recently put this Sportsroyals Power Tower together and have been using it for my workouts. It took me about an hour to build, and the instructions were straightforward enough that I didn't run into any major issues.The best part for me is the stability. I weigh 230 pounds, and this tower holds my weight with ease while I’m doing pull-ups and other exercises. It doesn't feel shaky or flimsy, which is exactly what I was looking for in a home gym setup. It’s a solid, well-built piece of equipment that handles heavier weights without any problems. If you're looking for a sturdy station that you can rely on, I’d definitely recommend this one.

It’s awesome. I like it. There’s just one problem I’m missing a flat washer and 4 m6 16 screws for the final step of fully completing the power tower pull up bar. Other than that it’s sturdy and has durability.

Super solid. Tall. I am 6' 3". It works. Just tighten the bolts and square it up properly. Re-tighten as needed. Easy to do assisted exercises until you build up enough muscle.

This is a rock solid product and pretty easy to assemble with 2 people though I suggest you have a ratchet to help with the larger nuts and bolts rather than the small Allen wrench that comes with the kit. The instructions aren’t perfect so you need to have some minor intuitive ability or assembly skill to complete this. Most guys will be able to get it done fairly easily if they’ve assembled anything in the past. Great for hanging and other exercises and fits neatly in small spaces. Note, if you are 6 ft tall or taller you will need to bend your lower legs behind you just a little bit when hanging to ensure you are completely off the floor, even at the tallest setting.

Relatively stable, but the range of the seat is limited such that my wife and I can't both use the pull up bar set at the same height, and it's a bit of a hassle to change the height, especially when up against a wall. Other worthwhile thing to mention is that in our setup, there is no option for backrest. The seat platform cannot be mounted to be used like a backrest as seen int he pictures as the holes in the frame simply are not there. Not sure if this was a manufacturing error or they need to update their product description. Also came with 8 bungee cords and there is only a place to put 4 of them with no explanation for the others, perhaps spares for when the first seat break? Also there are slide out arms under the seat that would allow bungees to attach, but unsure what for as there is nowhere else for them to go. Maybe just poor quality control in the manufacturing and packing departments, maybe there are higher end models that have more features but share some of the parts.

No issues, straightforward build. Just make sure to pay close attention to instructions such as not tightening the screws in the middle of building.

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.

The directions for putting this thing together are confusing. They require you to keep going back to the beginning of the manual to figure out which screws you need because they are labeled different on the case than in the manual. The back support is easily adjustable which is good if more than one person will use it.

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 just received this product so I haven't had time to use it in a workout yet. I have only tested it after putting it together. It feels very sturdy and functional. I do like the assist seat as I haven't done any type of pull-ups in years. I have discovered that as of now I can not do one without the assist which is why i chose to purchase this piece of equipment. Plus I do like doing vertical knee raises as well. It is also compact and doesn't take up a ton of space, great for a home gym. With that said, assembly was a bit cumbersome. I have put together many items in my life and am usually very thorough and competent about it. The instruction booklet is very vague. You have a diagram of parts, and a list of parts. I feel they should have named the parts below the diagram instead of a separate list. I found myself going back and forth to identify each part. It took about an hour to unwrap, lay out and identify to make sure I had every part, which I did. The packaging was wrapped well so no problem there. There is a video on the Amazon sitectocwatch installation which was helpful, but too fast. They would bounce out of the scene so quickly, I would tryptophan pause to see what direction the part would need to be placed. Plus the video instruction procedure differs from the steps in the booklet. I am a 63 year old woman and I put it together myself, but it took me about 4 hours total, unboxing, disposing of the packaging, with a lot down time trying to understand the instructions. (I did have to walk away for about 30 minutes to view installation instructions on my computer hoping to see better than on my phone, plus to take a break from the frustration) I probably could have finished quicker, but 2 things I did wrong, the instructions say to tighten all bolts as you go. I found when I was installing the assist pulley bars that I I needed to loosen the bottom crossbar of the base so I could line up the holes or I would have never been able to install. I also had installed the middle bar of the pull system upside down so the seat would not line up properly. Mostly I had to figure out on my own as the instruction sheets are so small it's hard to see the detail of the parts. That was where the video was handy. All in all, I believe this is a good product for the price point, very sturdy, and the pullys feel strong. I gave 4 stars only because the instructions need to be improved. I would say with better instructions it should take a bout 30 to 45 minutes to put together.

I purchased and received the assist version of SportsRoyals power tower on Dec 16, 2023.I’m am writing this review 2 weeks after I assembled and started using it.Before purchase I had read most of the recent and top rated reviews and found them very insightful. But, I also noticed opinions varied based on expectation, fitness routine and stature.so, this is my 6 foot 225 pound moderately active opinion.The shipping box looked smaller than expected and weighted 86 pounds. The contents were tightly and securely packed. There is no user guide, and what many people have reported as terrible assembly instructions is really an exploded view of components. So, it helps with assembly but not well. I struggled until I realized the manufacture put an assembly video on Amazon. Short and not perfect but, using it in conjunction with the so-called assembly instructions, it was understandable. From the time I moved the shipping box into the house, assembled and cleaned up afterwards 4 hours had passed. I took my time, made no mistakes and used every part and fastener supplied. I’d call success.When looking at pictures that some reviewers have submitted, I noticed equipment structure was not always of the same design. Those reporting the most shake or flex where made with round tubular steel frames. Strong but hard to attach support arms to. The one pictured and I received was made with squared tubular steel and has an “H” style base. Not the triangular base some pictures show. Guessing the manufacture has recently re-designed the tower to address stability (Shake and Flex). The Amazon site says the tower supports 440 pounds, however, the so-called assembly instruction states 330 pounds. Could it be the result of the re-design? I can confirm that the top pull-up bar connection does creak under my weight as reported, but it doesn’t bother me or seem excessive or dangerous.I included a video. Notice there is minimal flexing. A result of the squared tubular steel I suspect. The steel is thinner than I expected which became noticeable during assembly. Do not tighten the bolts beyond tightly snug or the tubular steel will start to buckle-in. To be fair I have a tendency to over torque everything. I compared this tower with the commercial brand Hoist. There is no comparison in quality. The Hoist is many times stronger but also many times more expensive. Actually 4 times more with no assist. The questions is, when is strong, strong enough. The SportRoyal would never hold up in a commercial fitness center. But probably good enough for my home gym.I needed the pull-up assist to get my muscles started, and it functions as others have said. Not the smoothest movement but, it does what it’s meant to do. However, the seat is completely and totally in the wrong position for assisted dips. Online specifications say each of the 4 assist bands is 22 Lbs, 88 total. I tested this by placing two 45 pound weight lifting plates on the seat. This 90 pounds lowered the seat 75% of the way down. Removing 1 plate, 45 Lbs, raised the seat 75% of the way back up. So, I would call this spec accurate and not bad for functioning with bungees.Prior to purchase I could not figure out how the assist seat converted to a back support. So, I included the change-over in the video. Easy to do after a couple of tries. The manufacturer must have been concerned that the pulleys on the assisted seat bungee system would bottom out and get damaged. So, they included what they’re calling an anti-crash support. A rod that stick up from the H base frame. I included it in the video. Easy to remove or install but very dangerous. If you forget to remove it and you lose grip when the seat is in the backrest position, you could impaled yourself.In conclusion:The manufacturer designed a functional and well thought out power tower that gives me the exercises I wanted, accept for assisted dips. The build quality is consistent with what I expected for home equipment. The relatively low cost and light weight allowed me to try, lift and afford the purchase. I don’t expect the assist bungee system to last forever, but, it should last long enough until I don’t need it anymore. There are no other low cost towers with assist that I could find. Yes the top pull-up bar can be set at several heights but don’t expect it to be a regular adjustment, it’s too difficult for that. Also, the assisted seat travel length is fixed which makes the pull-up bar height dependent on it. All-in-all I would purchase this power tower again.

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.
