ONETWOFIT Foldable Power Tower Pull Up Bar Station Assistive Trainer Multi-Function Adjustable Dip Station for Home Gym Workout, Heavy Duty Strength Training Fitness Equipment Pull Up Stand

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.

I have purchased and used it for about 2 months, nothing broken, every thing is still working great.Although it is not some tool that you can easily fold after every use because it takes time to fold and unfold, I like it to be foldable so if I move in the future I don't have to abandon the whole thing and rebuy a new one, or break it into pieces and reassemble every tiny piece.Pulling it to move around in the space is easy, but if you want to fold it and hold it, I would recommend to at least have a helper. Despite it is foldable, it is heavier than I initial thought, as it's still metal, if you hold the whole piece of metal just by yourself, it's not going to be easy, still possible if you move it slowly but having another person to help will prevent you from getting hurt.In my opinion, this minimum weight is necessary because it needs to support the whole body weight, as I don't have to move it around a lot and I use it to train everyday, I prefer it to be sturdier instead of lighter. (As it's still lighter than the equipment that you use in the fitness gym, so you cannot expect it to be as sturdy as those you use in the fitness gym. You can feel it slightly shake but it's acceptable, at least it seems to be sturdy enough that it won't break apart of fall down when you're training, so that's okay for me in terms of safety.(One thing that can be improved is the sharpness of the small red rectangle metal plates to stabilize the legs, although if you are wearing shoes, the chance of getting cut is low, but I didn't like it to be sharp so I used the sandpapers to abrade them for a bit)

Overall I am very happy with this purchase. After using it for a workout I’ve increased my pull-ups from 4-7. It was fairly easy to put together. When I use it for dips it shakes a bit. But for pull ups leg raises it’s very sturdy! The height is adjustable which is great. I have it set at a 7 and I’m 5’8” I probably could have it set for an 8 but feel more comfortable there. I just wish it had the versatility of being able to do close grip pull up’s. The bar is too narrow for me and crushes my hands. This is a great alternative to an over the door pull up bar. I live in an older apartment and I was worried having it over the door jam. This fits great in a corner. Though I have not tried to collapse it yet and store it, I imagine that’s pretty simple too. I hope this helps. Been using it for almost 5 months now.

Bought the pro model, if I could do it again I'd have got the normal or air model instead, just to try to reduce the weight because I keep it under my bed and it's heavy to get in and out from there. It takes 5-10 minutes to set up, kind of a pain to do but worth it to bring it out for a few hours or days then stash it away later. Does everything I expected from it, some of the knobs for expanding/compressing it are a pain to use, and definitely don't trust the 8 or 10 inch (or whatever) folded footprint. The actual base is that size folded but it will stick out farther. Also does not stand up well when folded, must be leaned against something.

I was looking to replace my husband's traditional power tower because it took up so much space. I came across this product when searching and was hesitant at first. I really wanted to get him a replacement with the capability of folding. I was impressed with the design and shocked by the price for it's durability. My husband is enjoying the power tower. He says it has helped improved his workouts and he is impressed with the grips especially for a man of his size.
