Apex Power Tower

Pros: Easy to set up, instructions and diagrams are clear

Very, very solid metal.

Sturdy

Compact

Can be folded Up

Cheap

comfortable to use

Easy to take certain parts off in order to transport.

Has a step up "nub" for shorter people (which can also double for resting or gauging where legs are)

Simple

Cons: Can feel a TINY flex on the whole unit during some movements but doesnt affect ANYTHING

Overall this is a no brainer (especially if you have prime)

Don''t waste your money on "ab rockets" and all that crap. This is totally usable for getting great abs.

Not to mention all the other exercises besides abs.

Couldnt be happier.

I really wanted to like this tower...it looks great and is very sturdy. However, it suffers from some fatal design flaws, and if it weren''t such a pain to disassemble i would return it right away.

It basically has three main functions, and they are all flawed in some way. The main problem is in doing pull-ups. The bars are not long enough, and because the main vertical post is angled away from your body, your chest rubs against the back-pad. It is impossible to do a proper pull-up. To me, it is insane that anyone would put out a product with such a fundamental design error.

Secondly, for dips the grip is too wide for me. For many people it may be fine, but since it is impossible to adjust the bar spacing (and you cannot re-position your hands because of the sit-up arm pads), it is largely useless for this function as well. Strike two.

Thirdly, the makers of this machine did not see fit to provide grip pads for the metal bars (which would be super-cheap to include, and would be of enormous benefit). So not only is the machine constructed completely wrong for me (as they would be for many people), but it has the added insult of being especially uncomfortable on the hands. Strike three, yer out.

My philosophy is to buy quality, or buy nothing at all. That''s all I can say. Since this is not quality, then I would recommend not buying it...and I am normally a very positive person.

$$ down the drain...this item is just a clunky metal behemoth that will be used for little more than a coat-rack. Bummer.

I like this machine. I bought it to have a captain''s chair for lower abs. It fits well into a corner. It is big but relative to similar captain''s chairs takes up a lot less space. It will last forever, the thing is really solid.

This unit is very functional and fits in the corner of any room. I like it''s design which is good since I keep it in my house. It was very easy to assemble. The only drawback for me is that the handles for the dip station are uncomfortable. I just put some bike grips on them and I''m good to go.

This device fits nicely in our rec room, and has become very useful. This only glitch, is that when you raise the dip bar in order to do pull ups, the two slots for the locking pin do not line up well, and you have to kind of force the pin into place. It is still very functional, and I consider the complaint to be minor at best.
