Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: great value, good workout. Comment: this is a great unit for the price. i have had it now for just over a month and i am very satisfied. it was easy to put together and it is more than sturdy enough for anyone under 225lbs. the only down side is the location of the push-up bars. so, unless you are heavier than 225lbs or want to use this unit for push-ups, it is a great buy. Customer Rating: Summary: Great value. Comment: The trainer was shipped quickly and came complete. I was surprised how small the box was for being 88 lbs. It was easy to put together--probably took between 30 minutes and an hour. Instructions were fairly simple to follow.
After reading reviews I decided to leave out the center bar so that I could use the push-up handles. I also put the pull-up bars on the same side as the dip handles so I can put the trainer against the wall to save space. I do the push-ups from the dip side lying between the vertical supports. This configuration makes it ideal to superset from pull-ups to dips to push-ups.
I'm 6'3" at 190 lbs and even without the center bar the trainer is sturdy. With proper form the dip bars and back support shouldn't be a problem while doing pull-ups. I was hesitant about buying this for a few weeks while I shopped exercise equipment stores for sturdier, but much more expensive models. In the end I'm more than satisfied with this model.
My only concern is the padding on the pull-up bar. As another reviewer mentioned, it appears the padding may tear after regular use. Should that occur it won't be too great a problem. Replacing worn padding with new foam padding or grip tape should be easy and inexpensive.
I recommend this model for a work out that is quick and effective. In the event that it is not used regularly it is easily convertible to a clothes hanger (pull-up bar) and shelving unit (board fastened across dip bar). You can't lose with this one. Customer Rating: Summary: Very good for the price Comment: Hard to beat this price and I was impressed with how well-built and sturdy the tower was. Lots of exercise options. Just be aware that this equipment is very tall - it barely fits in my house! Customer Rating: Summary: Durable, and Easy to Install Comment: I purchased this product based on the community reviews, and I can honestly say the reviews will not steer you wrong.
The box arrived, and it was quite heavy, I'm glad it was delivered because lifting it in and out of my trunk and then carrying it upstairs to my apartment would've been quite a hassle.
Needless to say, it was conveniently shipped. The installation instructions were simple and very easy to understand, mixing a graphical representation along with step by step instructions in English.
I was able to easily install the unit by myself without any assistance for any other individuals and was good to go.
I weigh 185 lbs and it supports my weight well. If I get a little bit aggressive, it might rise up a tad bit, but that due to my poor form rather than a poor product.
And this is a nice quality product, extremely sturdy materials that you'd have to be a maniac to be able to bend or deface. The back and arm pads are also nicely made and double stitched. This will definitely outlive my current dwelling and at the low price, I'll likely leave it behind and buy another instead of moving.
Bottom line, truly surprised at the quality and durability of this product. Customer Rating: Summary: Worth the Price Comment: It isn't the highest quality product, but it was easy to put together and it works wonderfully for what I wanted.
