Good Buy On A Power Tower At Amazom.com...

Just came across this and thought I'd share for anyone looking for a chin-up bar...and it is a knee lift station as well for $79.99

oo, thanks for the link. I have no room now but in the new house there should be space. Once we find a house that is! Let's see if I can convince DH....

I'm mad because it's too big for what I'm looking for...front to back too big. I'm looking at another one that is smaller footprint and another $200 more. That's hardly right is it?!!x(

That first one I linked for $79.99 is $112.33 with tax and shipping.

That is cheap...I am sooo tempted, just wish it was a bit smaller in footprint.

 

[fit_fairy]

That is a good price. Mine is like that. I just push it close to the wall when not in use and pull it out when I want to use it.

Catherine...I'm wondering if I could make the machine smaller by installing the chin-up bar forward (instead of behind the dip station) and then could the legs be inserted further in to shorten up the base in the back? (again behind the dip station) I know, 12 inches isn't alot but this will have to go where my kids play area is so that 12" is premium space.

 

[fit_fairy]

You maybe could do that. I know you could install the bar on the front side. I'm just not sure you could shorten the legs without a bit of a hassle. I don't know.

I am LOL at how many places *I* know it would fit, and imagining my DH walking in one day to find it in our house!!! }(

I think I'll keep with the park's bars that are nearby and my Fit Tubes for now...;-)

This is EXACTLY the same one I'm looking at purchasing right now. It's just so nice and compact.

Did you end up getting it? Or going with the larger, cheaper one?

Thanks!

I just bought the smaller one on Amazon - I'll let you all know how it is when it arrives! I can't wait!!!

LOL - I go from having a relatively limited number of activities for back work (pull overs, lat pulls), to having it all! B-lines bands (2 kits, men's and the extreme) with the door attachment for lat pull downs (which I've been LOVING!), and now a chin-up / pull-up station.

I'm a huge, huge, huge fan of the roman chair, so I'm thrilled that this thing will fit in my workout room, and that my husband didn't go through the roof when I mentioned that I was thinking about it. My workout room is shared space with our playroom, so this is a bit of an imposition on the play room part...

That is sweet. Anyone know how much room these take up?

 

[Fitnessfreak366]

DUH! Sorry, the dimensions are right there!! Excuse my stupidity!

Debbie, I'll let you know how much practical space the smaller one takes up. Hopefully it's as compact as it looks in the pic!

Sounds good, I'd appreciate it!
