Marcy Power Tower Multi Workout Home Gym Pull Up Chin Up Dip Station VKR TC-3508

Thus far after using it for 3 weeks I'm very satisfied with the Marcy Power Tower. It was not terribly difficult to assemble though if you are woman making this purchase I suggest you get a male friend to help you as the parts are a bit heavy. It's sturdy but a little wobbly and you should expect that for the price. I used a few eye hooks and cable straps along the base to secure it to my floor this eliminating any slippage. The center post gives a little when you pull up but the cable tensioner absorbs the stress well. Another reviewer mentioned that the bolts on the pull-up bar got stripped and I had the same issue with one of the bolts as well. I tightened it as best I could and left it at that. The iron bolts are big so I'm not worried. You will encounter some wobble when doing tricep dips but for me I don't mind as it has made me mindful of achieving proper form and balance. It is no longer an issue at this point. The sit-up bar should've been made with a center bolt to keep it secure because it will slide a little when you stand on it to do knee raises. The push-up bars are great for doing push ups and for standing on when doing dips. No issues there. I'm 6 ft, 225 lbs and man is this thing challenging! I've had noticeable gains in muscle and strength in a short time and the changes in my body are exciting to see. I know I'll be in great shape for my vacation in November. I'll admit there are a few flaws in manufacturing that could be easily resolved but they're not significant enough to keep from making this purchase. The fact that the dip bars fold up and away is huge because many other towers don't have this feature. Without it you'll struggle to avoid hitting the dip supports making pull-ups awkward. It's the number one reason I bought it. Is the Marcy Power Tower perfect? No, but it's well worth the price and overall is well made. It's angled properly according to the human body's design and it easily fits in a corner of a room without taking up much space. For less than $200 bucks it's a no brainer and I'm very pleased with this purchase. I hope this helps.

Im so glad I bought this. The corner design is unique and the cable support is a thoughtful stabilization method. Its really tall! I am 5'8 and I can get to the knee raise station easily enough but the pullup bar is almost out of reach. Im not strong enough yet for the dips or pullups but I will get there. I have this on carpet and am 200 lbs and it is plenty steady. There is a little give when you hang on the pullup bars but the style of the supports, size, and price all work for me so I dont fault it that. Infact, considering those things, I am pleasently surprised at the quality and how easy it was to set up.

Looks really nice. Fairly sturdy. Assembly was moderately easy, except I had to widen a couple of the holes with a dremel tool as they didn't originally align (that was while loosely putting the parts together -- they simply could not fit together without modification to a couple holes). The logo on the backpad is also very off-center. If if weren't for a few flaws, I'd give five stars.

In cyberspace, many options can be found for this type of configuration. I ultimately decided on this one for the following reasons: ~Its design enables you to place the equipment into a corner of the room, which is great, because these things could really dominate a smaller room. ~The Marcy name is trusted to manufacture reliable and sturdy home gym equipment. ~It was reasonably priced. It came shipped in a box that looked like Ikea's engineers had a hand in it, with everything nestled in tightly and securely. The hardware was shrink-wrapped against cardboard and labeled with part numbers. This was a Godsend since the first step of assembly is usually that tortuous ritual of making little piles of each part pulled out of that one bag with everything thrown into it. I assembled it alone, and it was really no problem. Two people would make it REALLY easy. Workouts have not made the bolts work loose or revealed any instability in the Marcy Power Tower. The fact the dip/ab handles can be lifted up out of the way when using the pull up/chin up bar is a nice feature. The padding on the armrests and the foam for the sit-up foot pegs both seem to be able to withstand the test of time. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I probably wouldn't but this unit again. Looks great but rocks as it's uneven once assembled so I had to shim one of the legs. Not enough separation from pad to body during pull ups. I like the tension cable, gives it some nice instability so you have to control your reps so I do enjoy doing dips on it. Push up handles are too far up the legs. At 6' tall my head hits the sit up pads/main bar. I don't think this unit was very well thought out or thoroughly tested. If you are disciplined in training then you can get your money's worth but I'd get something else if I had to do it all over again.

This is a great work out machine for our little apartment. It fits nicely in the corner and the added functionality of being able to lift up the dip bars is great. Some reviewers have indicated theirs does not lift up, but I think that may be due to the over tightening of the bolt that allows it to pivot up and down. So far so good. I am an average size guy and it seems to handle my weight really well.

Item arrived in a box that looked like it got rolled down a hill of rocks. It’s would have been fine if the item would have been new. To my surprise, item looked worse than the box. Scratched all over with bend parts. So I ended up assembling because Amazon option was to return it in the box that looked like a bear destroyed it. I definitely was let down. DONT BUY THIS ITEM.

Well designed piece of equipment. Follow the assembly directions exactly and don't tighten the load bearing nuts and bolts until you've finished assembly and it should go smoothly for you, took about an hour to an hour and a half by myself. Have an adjustable wrench, a metric socket set and ratchet ready to go to speed things up. With this kind of equipment you usually get some kind of wobble when there is no load on it, and that's the case here. Could be slight manufacturing differences or slight imperfections on my garage floor causing a small wobble, but when you put your weight on the machine in any way it goes away and is stable throughout your motions. I've done some kipping and haven't felt or heard it move or creak. So far so good with the quality of the grips and pads, I'll update if they start to split after prolonged usage. It is quite tall when assembled, at 5' 8" its a bit of a jump or step up on the sit up bar for me to get in position for either kind of exercise.

Sturdy as hell, can do chin ups 210 pounds and it doesn't even creak a little, dip bars on the other hand make the tower tip a little to the front when you put your entire weight on them, still usable but be careful if it moves on the floor, go slowly and grab them from the inside. They're perfect to do reverse pushups. Side note, you may want to buy an anti-slip rubber mat to keep it from sliding when you swing on it, and definitely get a pair of cushioned training gloves, my palms are killing me at the moment :( All in all it's excellent quality for the price, easy to assemble, you're gonna need something to tighten the nuts though, it's not included in the box, ratchet, pliers or key wrench, allen keys ARE included. Been 2 days now and i'm glad I have it, no regret so far, it's a must for any home gym, big or small. Kinda tall also, make sure to check the dimensions, I have 8 foot ceiling (96") and I have plenty of space for my head when I do pullups, if you have 7 foot ceiling or lower it probably won't fit.

Great product very sturdy and easy to assemble. I would like more grip option for the pull up bar and it is a bit wobbly. Maybe if some floor grips or caps for the bottom portion was included that would fix this issue.

I purchased a few power towers in the last months and this one is probably the best from all. Was a shame to refund it. My particular model came with several defects and cosmetic issues: ripped pad, scratches, paint chips and what the most important general geometry defects. The best results I achieved probably at my 5th reassembly, you can see the level at one of the photos and still tower didn't stand straight. Overall, I would call quality of this product decent, nice pads and material textures. Also the design is nice, this tower can perfectly stand in the corner and at the wall.

I got it during covid when you couldn't go to a gym. Now I don't need to go to a gym. It's a big, heavy-duty machine. I got it because my doorways couldn't accommodate one of those pull-up bars, so this machine stands on its own. It takes up a lot of space, but it works well and it will probably last forever. I use the push-up handles, the pull-up bar, and for leg raises like you see in the photo.

Very impressed. Bang for buck, would buy this again. The unit is very well built and it's study. Can do pull ups with no problem or fear this unit is going to let me down. I weigh 273lbs and I'm 6'2 and this tower is perfect for my build. The unit weighs 88lbs. Easy to assemble. Looks great. Works great. Shipping was fast. Buy it!
