Stamina Power Tower: Home Workout Equipment for Strength Training

FL Buick: Doesn't take up too much room and easy to assemble. Only issue is that I need to move the dip bar down to allow room to swing when doing my pullups and then back up to do dips.
Still easier than going to the gym

Justin: Definitely worth buying when it’s on sale (I wouldn’t have bought for full $300). The station is extremely easy to build, should be an hour maximum with two people. Was tricky for me to build alone, but was possible after a couple of hours. Need a decent amount of height and width in room (especially if u are going to use push up section). After tightening the screws, the station has been very sturdy. The wrenches given are easy enough to work with.
The pull up grip is adequate. The station is really nice for chin-ups, pull-ups, dips. It seems adequate for deep push-ups you can’t normally do without elevated hands, though I haven’t done that many to comment long term. It also has a sit-up bar I plan to use.
Having access to pull ups and dips, and even just hanging is a game changer to my fitness regime. This is a very solid investment unless you already go to a gym for other reasons or exercises. I think being able to do every core exercise (pull-up/row, push-up/dip, shoulder press, squat) at home is extremely valuable for long term fitness, and it only requires this station and some kettlebells or weights you can comfortably shoulder press and row. If you can do...

Jennifer: I don't write many reviews, but this product deserves one. No, I'm not sponsored by this company and no, I don't get anything from this review. I believe that quality products require quality reviews. So here we go.

Let me save you a couple hours of research. Simply put, consider your research done - you have arrived at your destination. I cannot speak to the 1-4/5 stars on this product, but this product deserves a 6/5. Follow along below. I talk about 1) packaging/assembly 2) fitment/expansion on assembly 3) functionality of the product/"wobble" 4) summarizing why you need to just buy this product if you're seriously considering a power tower amidst this quarantine.

First, the packaging was high quality. Each piece to the tower was individually wrapped and there were even a couple of foam inserts (with additional cardboard) to ensure the metal pieces didn't bang together during delivery. Tools were provided, but I recommend using your own - it'll make the job go a bit faster. Admittedly, the assembly was a little difficult, but if you have a pulse, you can figure it out. They provide you a measuring guide within the owner's manual and you simply match pieces (bolts,...

Bill Ye: Arrival: The product arrived battered like a battle-worn veteran after a few long days on the field ready to call it quits. Not too surprised since this thing weighs around 100 lbs and I'm frankly surprised the delivery guy had the decency to even carry it up the steps.

Assembly: The tools that came with this thing is absolutely abysmal, more like a tool to test whether or not the owner is a masochist than anything. The nuts and bolts were sometimes not a great fit, but nothing a little elbow grease wasn't able to fix up. I'm just happy that I got every single part and all the screws and such to put it all together.
BUT WAIT! One of the part actually is missing a hole to insert a bolt through! The tower is now disconnected in the middle and barely holds my weight without shaking like a crackhead long overdue for a fix.

Fixing it: No problem, contact the manufacturer and they were quite nice and speedy and polite in their replies, I got a replacement very quickly, free of charge.
BUT WAIT! This one doesn't fit at all! somehow its too long!
No problem, contact the manufacturer again and get another one!

BUT WAIT! This one doesn't fit...

Chris: I purchased for the pull/chin up unit only, It is everything I hoped it would be. I was worried at the price point (compared to other similar towers) this would be a cheap wobbly piece of exercise equipment but, it is not. I called Stamina to ask if it would be ok to use the P90x pull up assist unit with the tower as I had not seen any other reviewer having used the unit with this tower. Stamina actually said No, it has not been tested and it should not be used. I gambled that this was more of a liability issue and got the tower anyway. I use the p90x pull up assist unit with it and have had no issues, it works fine. Possibly it may cut into the padding on the bar eventually but nothing some hockey tape won't take care of if it does happen.
You can rock the unit if you get very sloppy but knowing that I just don't get sloppy - which is beneficial in of its self. I am 6 feet tall and whey (get it) 205lbs. I have the unit on regular carpet. It is great that I can get on the unit without going to another room to use the door unit I replaced. No more door damage and can watch my training videos as I am doing the workout and get right to the next exercise right away.
The only way...

Smb: I purchased this tower with the intent of hanging gymnastic rings off of it for various exercises. Also the option for stationary dips and chin ups. The tower has met all of my expectations and allows me to use rings and feel secure while doing it. It does wobble a little on stationary dips, but some exercise mats should clear that up.

The unit I received had issues with the threading on the upper arm that the chin up bar is bolted to. The bolt could not be tightened all the way in. Of course for body weight exercises having everything securely in place is very important. I don't want to come crashing down to floor unexpectedly.

I contacted Stamina Customer Service through email and communicated with Glenda. She was understanding to the issue I was having and found a solution. A new upper arm was shipped to me at no cost. There were no arguments, no hassles, just an email explaining the problem and her reply back with the solution.

The replacement arm was sent and there was an issue on my end with receiving the package. Basically UPS said they attempted delivery, however no notification was left, package was sent to a warehouse too far for me to pick it up, I...

Dule: I was pretty pleased with this purchase. I wasn't looking for anything fancy when deciding to purchase this. I just wanted a regular free-standing pull up bar because the door-frame ones can - from what I've heard - mess up your dry wall. So the "Power Tower" seemed like a good choice; It's simple, affordable, and doesn't take up too much space (although it was bigger than I imagined). Setting it up was relatively quick (30- 45 mins) and the instructions that came with it were clear. I'm a 180lbs guy and everything felt pretty sturdy doing pull-ups, dips, and push-ups. It does slightly (and I mean slightly) wobble just a little bit when you first grab a hold of the bars, however once you put your weight on the bar and start the exercise then the wobbling stops and isn't an issue at all.The actual metal the bars are built out of are strong. The padding/grips are all very comfortable and do not slip and slide. Over-all it was better than I expected, The only minor flaw I can maybe knit pick is that I wish you could disassemble it easier/quicker, but I'm sure most people will just keep it assembled and keep it in one location of their house/apartment.

Raymond: The product was everythIng that I expected it to be.

Important note, my product came with no instructions, so I used the commercial of the product as my frame of reference. I would pause the video from time to time and locate the best angles and calculate where all the bolts/washers should go for each piece before commencing my assembly. After this ordeal, I sucessfully assembled the product.

Purpose
My purpose of buying this product was for conditioning certain skills in gymnastics. I needed a bar that can safely allow me to practice pull ups, leg lifts(hanging from a bar in a straight body position and then just contracting my abdominal muscles so both of my feet would touch the bar), back lever, front lever, inverted tuck, inverted pike, inverted straddle, German hang, and etc. There are pull up bars that can mount to the frames of the doors and cost as little as $40, but the pull up bars will likely detach of the door frame if I were to perform mutilple German hangs. This product was able to satisfy that purpose. I don't recommend practicing long swings or beatswings because the whole product will rock. I tested it with extreme caution and careful body...

R. Taylor: I started training advanced calisthenics exercises in February of this year. With this type of training, there are several pieces of equipment that can be very useful, but the one essential item is something to pull yourself up on. I find that a good pull up bar or a set of gymnastic rings fits the bill perfectly. But with a quality bar this cheap, it's easy to get both!

Initially I used one of those doorway pull up bars, and in all honesty it is an excellent piece of equipment that you can use to train many pull up variations, and is even suitable to train front levers and back levers. Heck, I still use my doorway bar in my bedroom closet. However, if you spend a lot of time doing this stuff and you want a little more versatility and elbow room, this tower fits the bill nicely without costing an arm and a leg. I am about 5'8 at ~135, so if you are a huge guy this may not be stable enough for you to do advanced exercises such as muscle ups, but if you are slow and controlled you can probably work around it. Keep in mind, though, that this equipment was not designed with muscle ups in mind, so do them at your own risk! However, it would still be great for all of the standard...
