How stable it is comparing to Valor Fitness BD-17? It doesn't have safety bars?

I don't know anything about the Valor. This rack is stable enough. It's part of an ever growing home gym of mine that helps to train a former professional baseball player and a college baseball player. I like it

It's 3 inches off the floor on the right front corner and rocks back and forth when lifting

It's a decent rack for a decent price. Not the most stable thing in the word, it's just two standing arms, so I don't use any thing over 300lbs. You have to have good control of the weight your using to rerack it due to the small arm platforms. There are no safety rails of any kind. As long as your conscientious and careful you should have no problems

If you are going to be squatting 300 lbs then get a better rack. For the 200 lbs I do its just fine

I had a Total Gym 1000 a few years ago. It folded up but it was a bit of a job (I'm 6', 205 & fairly strong.) This product seems slightly heavier than the current Total Gyms in this price range, but is half the cost. If you can afford the price difference maybe you should go with what you know. When you get used to either and in decent shape I bet either will be a snap. I think I'm going to try the Weider.

The handlebar's are secured by 2 bolts so they don't twist. They do move just slightly but it not a problem during the workout. Very stable and secure.

Yes, it does have sufficient safety features to keep you from flipping over. Well designed. It's easy to go backwards and back upright.

The bench can "slide" a bit, but is not wobbly during bench movements. It is definitely worth the money, especially considering it goes to military, incline, flat, and decline. If I would have gotten just the power rack, then I would have looked elsewhere (craigslist) for a bench.

When I use the treadmill I don't usually put it on a big incline but I have never had a problem holding on to the handlebars. The treadmill isn't a huge one (although my husband and I are both tall) so it's really easy to use. We have been very happy with it. It doesn't take up a huge amount of space like some treadmills either.

I bought one about 6 months ago and have not had a problem with wobbling. I am 6'2", about 185lbs and it handles my weight just fine. I have 2 other walkers of different brands and this one is as stable as the others. I bought it because it collapses which makes it nice for traveling. I am in a wheelchair most of the time so when I do get up, I need something strong and stable to support me. This does the job for me. Hope this helps.

Mine wobbles / shakes if I use any of the three upper positions for dips. It is sturdy if I use the top lower position. With that I can do dips with my feet back and my knees are just above ground level at the bottom - so this wouldn't work with a belt/hanging weight. But fine with a vest. I am 185 and have had up to 45 pounds in a weight vest in it.

The Ultimate Body Pull Up Bar supports my suspension trainer with no problem. The pull up bar itself is bullet proof. I think I should mention that a lot depends on how well you mount it. If you mount all four mounting points solidly into wood studs (or cement anchors) you should not have any issues. My pull up bar came configured for 16" centers which worked perfectly for my house. It doesn't even flex under my full weight.

The equipment wasn't square when assembling it so it wobbles even after wedging different areas and sandbagging the frame. I weigh 115 lbs so not as much movement but with my husband at 160 lbs much more. The further away from center of tower the more unstable when doing dips and wide pullups, someone has to hold down one side to minimize wobble. My husbands not a fan. For myself and my son we don't have as much problem, however we did have to shim and sandbag frame.

I love mine. There is one exercise the video shows that bugs my knee but it's easily adaptable. My mom got a gazelle after I did. She has bad knees. It doesn't bother her. Side note...I think it a important to add wd40 to the crossbar the handles are attached to as suggested by somebody.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though. I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However...

As K. Baumgarten noted, the Elite XL comes with the stabilizer bar and neutral grip handles. Also, it is 8" taller, at 92" instead of the All-in-One's 84". I'm 6'2" and the extra height matters. And even though it may not seem like a big deal, the stabilizer bar helps a lot, keeping the base sections aligned both during exercise and, if you find it necessary, when moving the unit about. I've had the Elite XL for two months, use both the standard and neutral grip bars, and think it's a great piece of equipment. Highly recommended.

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.

My 9 year old daughter uses it primarily for extra conditioning outside the gym, but she also does basic level 3 & 4 skills on it and it is stable. For higher level skills with more power or a heavier gymnast, you'd probably need to stabilize it a little more.

I weight about 155 and its sturdy when you do multiple exercise on it. It is a little shaky but I think is because of my ground level.

The pull up bar is the highest point. It is very stable. I am 5'10 and it works for me just fine.
