Ok, now I’m confused…I read somewhere that the original tower is being used and not
the FitTower. What would be the difference? I don’t have the original tower any longer,
but have 2 FitTowers. So, can that be used or not….
Not Cathe, but I think they are using the Turbo Tower for filming but they say under Optional Equipment for STS 2.0:
- Turbo Tower (or Fit Tower)
The two are very similar and almost interchangeable from my past research. I got a great deal on the Turbo Tower (like a close out sale thing), and I researched the Fit Tower a little when it came out to see if it was different enough to purchase (it wasn't IMO, although I did read the Fit Tower might feel more stable?).
I also researched the Fit Tower because in the Fit Tower workouts, Cathe refers to putting the bar at a certain number (the holes are numbered on the Fit Tower but not on the Turbo Tower) and the Turbo Tower has more bar height adjustments/holes than the Fit Tower so I wanted to know which holes in my Turbo Tower corresponded to which numbers on the Fit Tower. I ended up using my label maker and even numbered my Turbo Tower's holes!
That said, I haven't used my Turbo Tower in many years and it's currently relegated to the basement where I put unused stuff. But I have plans to put it back to use someday.
Here's what was posted about this that I found previously on another fitness forum and how I numbered my Turbo Towers holes:
"I have the original tower and someone who has both sent me a picture. There is no hole 1, the bar is at the very bottom, then the first hole is #2, then every other hole is a number. So with the tower we have, we have 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 etc. Works good for me. I hope this helps."
Also here are some approximate dimensions I have saved:
Fit Tower: 36.2" x 36.2" x 53.7" (weighs 26 lbs)
Turbo Tower: 36.5" x 32.5" x 55" (weighs 30 lbs)
