PULLVANTA™ Complete Workout Guide

It arrived in a smaller box than anticipated, and that was a good thing. It's easily brought into the house. All the materials were neatly packaged, and with the exception of a few bolts, decently documented. The assembly instructions are easy to follow as well, but I definitely need my reading glasses to see the small print. It took about an hour or so to assemble. Whoever said 1 person can assemble this Power Tower in 20 minutes or so is sorely mistaken. Not difficult, but I highly recommend a socket wrench. Now, on to the Power Tower itself. It's a solid, light weight piece of equipment. I highly doubt that it will safely support 400 lbs, but my 225 lbs is totally fine on it. It does wobble a bit, but nothing a few well placed weights can't take care of. Even the leg raise station is usable. My only issue is the actual pull-up bar should be angled out a bit further from the center line of the tower. It's a bit close to the cross brace, making it easy (as others have mentioned) to hit your shins. I used a barbell pad, coupled with the packing material, to cover the cross brace. This way I don't bash up my shins (to the person who recommended doing this, I say THANK YOU!). I just need another zip tie to put on the other side of the pad. LoL! Overall, it's worth the purchase IMO. The few negatives are far outweighed by the positives of this Power Tower. The ability to maneuver it around the house to different rooms is fantastic, and it's small footprint is perfect for my needs.

As of right now I just got this today and set it up! It took 2 hours to do and the instructions were easy to figure out just a couple parts that weren’t that well described but with common sense, you can to figure it out. It seems like it will work nicely. Only thing that concerns me is the bungees breaking after multiple uses so we will see over time how it does. It doesn’t take up that much room which is nice and also has adjustable height for the pull up bar so if you are restricted you can bring it down some. Overall seems like a good starting unit!

It was hard to pick which one. For reference my husband is 170lbs 5’10and I’m 115lbs at 5’7…I’m saying this because my son is 6’5 and over 220lbs. And he laughed and said I’d break it in half..lol! But for my husband and I it works perfectly. The height for us is perfect. He said it wasn’t hard at all to put together and didn’t take him long by himself. The padding is substantial enough and we feel it is safe. In the video I took I do shake it around and it is sturdy for us. We are very pleased with it and it was on sale. We picked one that was a middle of road not too cheap but also not too much. We feel like we made the right choice. I will say if you are over 6ft. You may want to look at a larger one. But we are very happy with our purchase

Solid and sturdy. My husband is 6 feet tall and 230 lbs. Works perfect for him. I use for hanging leg raises. I'm 5'5", its a little tall for me so we use a stair stepper. Padding and grip is very nice. Easy to assemble and use. It fits in our small gym. Safe and stable even on carpet and rubber flooring.

So I'm not kidding when I say I read 100+ reviews just because you need to get a sense of people's rating criteria - some people go 5-star even when they're missing a part because the company was responsive, some people go 1-star when everything is good because it wasn't exactly what they expected. RATING: I'm giving this a solid 5-star overall rating - the only reason I put 4-stars for the individual stuff is that I'm comparing it to legit gym equipment, so by that standard it's slightly less solid, but still 100% would recommend. I'm 5'10 160lb and it works exactly how you would expect it to. Is there a sway/wobble? A little bit, hardly noticeable and only really happens when I'm doing like cross-fit style pull ups and really swinging - when I'm controlled I barely feel it move and haven't even felt the need to put weights/sandbags or anything on it. ASSEMBLY: I assembled this alone, it took about 1.5 hours but I was by no means hustling. I used a ratchet, which I can confidently say if I did not have I think my rating would likely be much lower (just guessing because I used the ratchet to tighten the hell out of all of the bolts and I highly highly doubt I would have been able to do that with the little shoddy wrench they give you). With a ratchet I can confidently say everything is very sturdy, without one, I'm not sure. Yes, everyone is correct in saying the bolts are not clearly organized - here's a trick I did - get a pen and just label the different bolts before you open them, that way you're not translating "N25-G-269" and saying "ooo that's the long bolt" because the sizing isn't reflective in their diagrams. So I'd prelabel the bolts (I did not, and added some extra time when I got near the end, panicked that I had used the wrong screws, and started unscrewing different places to spot check only to realize I'd done it correctly.) The set-up itself is extremely straightforward as there are only like 5 pieces to put together. Probably easier with two people but I had zero issues with one. Height is adjustable so should be fine with most heights. TIPS: 1. Pre-label the bolts so you can stay organized. 2. use a ratchet.

This review is for the Apex Power Tower (ASIN B07SM8VJ6P). Once assembled, the tower is very stable with little lateral movement when doing dead hangs, chin-ups, dips, and leg raisers. Assemble time was 90 minutes without rushing, and using the tools provided. Using a ratchet would have saved time, but I wanted to clock it using the provide tools. The tower came well packed and the hardware was in a plastic blister pack. The blister pack does have the hardware identifier number embossed on it, but it’s hard to see/read without panning it around in the light. Of note, when installing the armrests, right is the right side as you face the tower. This allows the armrest to tilt inward a bit to help with slippage when doing leg raisers. This tower makes a great addition to my home gym. I’m not using the full extension height of the chin-up/hang bar as the tower is stationed in the basement with an 8 ft. ceiling, and I’m 6 ft. But, a little bend in the knees and I’m good to go. However, the chin-up/hang bar is 1 in. in diameter, and 1.2 in. with the padding. I prefer the bar to have a larger diameter, in the 1.5 – 1.75 in. range, as I have larger hands (XL in glove size). I may try wrapping the bar with rope to get a larger diameter. Overall, I like this tower and recommend it.

For starters, it’s sturdy. Very sturdy. I was worried about that, but I think it’s designed well and I haven’t had some of the wobbling issues a person mentioned. But that might be because I alternated sides when tightening the bolts during the phase after the instructions tell you DON’T TIGHTEN YET. Or it could be because I have it sitting on some of those foam matting squares that interlock that are on my workout room floor—I don’t know, and I’m not moving it off of them to find out lol. I won’t say the instructions are BAD, but I do wish they’d labeled the different parts better instead of merely showing them in a diagram. I don’t know if this is allowed, but I labeled all the other parts before I opened them in the accompanying picture, and I really hope this helps you. I didn’t include the largest bolts because it’s apparent which ones they are and they’re the most numerous. There’s also a couple of pieces I didn’t label in the pic because they were loose in the bag and again: it was obvious what they were. Refreshingly, the tools provided are ALL YOU NEED, and I think pulling out your tool bag and a power tool would only complicate matters. All in all, I have nothing negative to say about this pull-up/dip station, and it’s just another piece of the puzzle for those of us that can’t stand the idea of fighting over equipment in the gym. In summary: it’s just fine and handily achieves its intended purpose. You can feel comfortable with the purchase—at least I do.

I really love the value of this power tower because you get so much out of one piece of equipment. It’s not just for assisted pull-ups…you can also do dips, push-ups, ab work, and a bunch of other exercises. Fits well in my bedroom!! I’ve even been using the stance pad for some leg workouts, so it’s become a really versatile part of my routine. It makes it easy to switch between exercises without needing a whole gym full of equipment. The build feels solid and well made, and the instructions were easy to follow. My husband and son put it together while I was at the salon and had the whole thing finished by the time I got home about two hours later. It’s been a great addition to my workouts and definitely feels worth it for everything you can do with it.

We got this to add to our basement home gym and it's a great addition! I'm still trying to master a chin up and my husband and daughter use it for pull-ups, dips, and leg raises. I love that it doesn't take up too much real estate in our relatively small space and doesn't block light from the adjacent window. I put a yoga block between the back of the tower and wall for good measure because my husband was a little paranoid about the bar that sticks out in the back (from the backrest) possibly hitting the wall if it wobbles with use, but the unit doesn't wobble much at all. I can't do a pull up (or chin up) from a dead hang, so I really like the base part (intended for push ups) that I can stand on to get a little lift. This was a great purchase!
