Is it sturdy? Or how much does the tower move when doing different types of exercises?

It's very sturdy. Mine sits on a gym mat. Since it's not bolted down, it's only gonna be as sturdy as your floor is evenly flat. I haven't had mine shake on me. My friend claims when he's struggling on the dips, he's had it slightly shake. Nothing extreme like tipping over. Obviously because if you let your body shake, the tower will too. Rock solid in my opinion.

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.

Is possible that this one just had flaws in manufacturing and not all towers have had issue. But our tower has been on both level concrete garage floor and low pile carpet in rec room. We pretty much knew when assembling that since some of the pieces weren't square that we would have problems once assembled. Like I said before both my son and I use it with little to no problems.

The Weider 200 Power Tower is not a very sturdy exercise machine especially when you are doing the dip excercises. It shakes when your doing the dips but not enough to make you fall. Otherwise it is a good exercise machine. :)

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.

About 2 months for me so far and it works fine. Not exactly the longest time I know but I got to say that it feels very sturdy. Unless you're a really careless guy or drop it off the top of a 5+ story building I don't see this breaking. Of course the internals are a bit different.

It's about 45-50 pounds. It's very sturdy. Ours came fully assembled. The box was really beat up, but the tower was unharmed. Since it is physically large, it's ungainly to lift by myself, but I can do it. My wife scoots it back and forth from one side of the living room to the other without difficulty. It would definitely be easier to lift with two people.

I agree that it's very sturdy. No tipping here and it gets moved around a lot.

Yes it is absolutely stable enough for you since I am 6'1" 220lbs and have no stability issues doing pull ups, dips, or sit ups, on this tower at all. The absolute highest part of the tower is 3/8" above the bar where the bar attaches.

Very sturdy. I have moved it several times. It is pretty solid. There are two metal extents attached to the side panels that provide balance. There are also numerous videos on-line that you may want to view, too. Just google the exact name and model number.

This stepper is more sturdy. It holds the weight of over 200lbs & doesn't bend in the middle like others. Highly recommended by most gyms

It's pretty sturdy but I suppose it would depend on how level the ground is and your own balance. I use it more for kneeling and being able to get up easier.

It's very sturdy. I have books on the bottom shelf, three containers filled with DVDs on the second shelf, and I use the top shelf for items I want to display (ceramics, crystal, etc.). It's not wobbly and even when I tug on it to see if it'll tip it doesn't move.

I didn't notice any difference in "sturdiness." The pieces of wood are solid, they stack just the way i remember, some loose, some not. Same amount of wood on wood friction. The tower is no easier or harder to knock over.

no, not at all. There's a good distance between the bar and the back pad, not a problem. It's a very sturdy tower.

It is very sturdy. The only time it swings is when you have popped it off of the wall-mounted studs; it then swings down freely (for the easier forms of pull-ups.) But when you're doing normal pull-ups/chin-ups, it feels like it is bolted down. Very sturdy.

No. When I Assembled It, I Had No Issues With Piece Being Lose. It Does Rock Back N Forth,But Not Enough To Ruin My Workouts.

I don't know how much it weighs but I don't luft when I move it. I just sort of walk it and scoot it. I had no problem moving it myself. Very sturdy good tower.

I have one that I move all the time. Is very sturdy. I love it!! It is screw together on the sides.

I wouldn't say that the frame is heavy but rather sturdy. It isn't difficult to move especially with two people. I moved it myself a few weeks ago by picking up one end, sliding it a few feet, then repeating on the other side.

I've had it for almost a year now. It has withstood daily use. I have it in the garage on a gym mat. I used loctite when I assembled it. Nothing has come loose nor has anything bent on the tower.
