How does this compare to the Ultimate Body Press? Are the dimensions roughly the same? Thank you!

Well this is not easily stored as the Ultimate Body Press claims to be, but from what I read this can really hold its own with more hefty guys like myself. I weigh around 270 lbs and was worries one of these home dip stands would not be strong enough. I was pleasantly surprised by this. It does not wobble at all and the construction is very well done. I would highly recommend this although be aware you need space to store it...!

Yes. I have another one from another company and it's wider too. Great product. Great price. My other unit cost over $300. Pull ups and push ups are the way... dude. They'll change your life. Went for my annual physical. I'm 60. My MD at my annual physical was blown away by how I looked. He thought I was a gym rat. Nothing sucks in your stomach like pull ups. Just do 20-30 of each every day morning and evening. Go figure.

Mine has worked fine. Easy to move and store. I am 5'4" and 115lbs, might be different for really big guys, but I did not want to pay over a grand for a bunch of bells and whistles I don't need like with the gym models so this was perfect for me and well worth it considering the low price.

I personally have never used the Bowflex weights, but as with other curious people on the internets, I've done extensive research online as well as received personal recommendations from friends who have PowerBlocks whom have also told me they outperform Bowflex in terms of build quality.After using the PowerBlocks for a couple of months now, not once did I feel that these were going to fall apart on me whenever I do any exercises involving them going over my head. Highly recommend!

I Love this machine. Does it work? It depends if you use it consistently. I feel great when I use it. I typically do squats, ab twists and air boxing to get a total body workout. Last week I actually was on with my weights. I do not regret getting this machine but give it your best and I believe it will be good to your body :)

I would recommend the IRON GYM XTREME it's a bit larger and with the Extra Hand Grips it holds you out from the Door Frame a bit more resulting in more grip by the Iron Gym on the door frame contact points. It's selling for $25 at WalMart wth 97 cent shipping right now. It feels so solid you won't worry about falling.

I think you should get the "platinum" model, not the cheaper original one or your feet won't clear the base properly. That is your main worry, so order from reputable source. Parts missing is likely to be a rarity, the other problem of the feet is a certainty. The machine will work the biceps and upper back muscles used to pull arms downward and backward quite well. It won't work triceps.

I read that they were the same dimensions. Same body and everything. Just different kick stand. Unfortunately, it might work and it might not.

Not much. Very compack design 2' X 4'. One complaint with this machine. The top part for exercising your upper body, one of the arm handles kept coming lose , because where it was stanped for it's setting 1,2,3 was off center making the the flat surface not so flat. I fixed it bt hammering it flat. other than that it's a great little machine and for the money , you can't beat it. Ofcourse it was on sale when I bought lt.

The Bosu is way better!!! First of all you can use it as a "step" for workouts and as a ball for abs.Also when you flip it over to its unstable side you can ues it for push-ups, planks,rear end exercises,ect..Listen those little disks are great but limited. Go to a web site called collage video and type in BOSU in the key word section. This web site gives you previews of the videos it sells.WATCH THEM ALL and ask yourself if all of that is possible on the little disks.The BOSU is much more bang for the buck because of its versatility.Good luck!

I just measured it and it's about 20inches apart. I also just got on to see if I could touch my knees together while on it and I could with no problem. I know exactly what you mean. I can use mine at home because it's much easier but at the gym they are to wide and big. Plus at the gym the peddles it self are wider then mine.

I have the Body Back Buddy Classic TM Trigger Point Massager and it is identical to the one pictured. Black with both rounded and pointed therapy knobs. Both work well. Sometimes I prefer the rounded and sometimes the pointed. This tool really works for me.

They do complete each other very nicely! Body Weight Circuits is very cardio, moving from one move to another quickly, keeping your heart rate up. You're toning at the same time because you are doing body weight exercises. The Hand Weight Circuits has a slower pace using controlled motions. Almost zen! Lots of balance work too!

I'm not 100% sure if they're identical, but they look to be exactly the same in the band area. I've been really pleased w/ the one that I bought on Amazon. I was going to buy the Beach Body version when I started P90X3, but went w/ this one because it was Less expensive. Hope this helps you out.

I am not certified in fitness training, but I can say I've used a toner like this for years. I had my original device for 15 years before the tension mechanism snapped. It was a different brand and it was designed to be able to use the device for the legs as well. I couldn't find a replacement for the one I had, but this one definitely works for the upper body. My husband is not toned, he's 65 and has had surgery for spinal stenosis. The stenosis has caused irreversible nerve damage in his arms and legs. He has difficulty using the UB Toner because he no longer has the strength that the average man. If your husband is of average strength, this toner will definitely help him. If he's above average in strength and looking to bulk up, this device will help his upper body, but won't achieve the same results that a woman will get, mainly because your husband may need a heavier degree of tension. The tension on this type of device is not adjustable. Just as an example, if you were working your biceps or triceps, as a woman you might use 5-lb weights, whereas a man might use 10-15 lb weights. In summary, both my husband and I use this device. I am at a higher fitness level than he is and it challenges me and provides great results. My husband struggles with meeting the required amount of repetitions, but it is very beneficial to us both for a low impact toning device. I hope this helps!
