Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar Chin Up bar Multifunctional Dip Station for Indoor Home Gym Workout, Power Tower Set Training Equipment Fitness Dip Stand Supports to 440 Lbs

Before you ask, I spray-painted it white to blend in with the rest of my decor a bit better. I do this a lot with stuff I get. I basically keep matte black, matte white and clear coat spray cans on hand at all times. Often times things will cost more for a specific colour or they're just not available so it opens up your options a bunch. Obviously, won't be as good as powder coating but holds up well if done correctly. TL;DR - Fantastic unit. Very happy with it. - Mounted to two metal studs with toggle bolts. Very solid. I'm 190 lbs. - I added thick felt pads to the 8 contact points to help prevent scuffing of the wall. - Mounting to plywood is ideal but not entirely necessary. - For "Chin Up Mode" you don't need any reinforcement as most of the weight is carried by the hook itself. - For "Knee Up / Dip Mode" you need reinforcement where the bottom "L" meets the drywall. there is more torque in this mode and it will crush your drywall without reinforcements. I have metal studs in my basement (for some reason) so I used toggle bolts and anchored all 4 hooks into the metal studs. Each toggle bolt can hold about 250 lbs if installed correctly. I have two bolts in each stud so it'll come down to the strength of the metal stud itself, but still plenty for my weight (~200 lbs). I read in other reviews that you need to mount it to plywood. I wanted to see if it would work without this. And, indeed, in "Chin Up Mode", it actually works just fine. I added some thick felt pads to the contact points. 8 in total (4 for each "Mode"). In Chin Up Mode, most of the weight is carried on the hook itself, which is great. However, in Knee Up / Dip Mode, the hook acts as a fulcrum that a lot of the weight rotates around, causing the "L" brackets to hammer into the wall. I put about 25% of my weight on the dip bar just to test and I could immediately see the impressions being left into the dry wall. Not a great design in this regard but not impossible to fix. Although the pictures don't reflect this, my plan is to add a 3 foot widt 3/4 plywood behind the bottom hooks that come out and down from the hooks in order to be the contact points for the "L" brackets. Doing this should spread the force of the "L" brackets across a much bigger surface area and hopefully prevent any indentation of the drywall itself. I'll be painting this plywood white to match the wall and will likely use a router to rounder the corners and give it a finished, safe look. Anyway, in short, even with this shortcoming, I'm super happy with this unit, especially for the price and my mounting options. Adds 3+ new exercises to my workouts. And in COVID times, variety is great thing.

good quality i like it

The installation instructions were somewhat hard to follow, but it's relatively intuitive. I had to buy 3" lag bolts for stud walls. It sits on a 1/2-inch plywood board attached to the wall and is very sturdy. The unit is well made, but I'm unsure about the hand grips. The quality drops off. I believe that for the price, its versatility makes it worth it.

Excellent product - installation is to be done by plumber (if not used with drilling etc on wall) but it is easy

This item is very sturdy, easy to change to upper/lower position. Great value. Keep in mind it comes with bolts for concrete and I needed to get run to hardware store to get fasteners for drywall as I installed in garage. All in all great product.
