Body Solid Commercial Rated Vertical Knee Raise and Dip Station Power Tower GVKR60 User Reviews:

Ideal for home use and well designed in America for Americans. It features solid high quality steel construction with nylon lock nuts and steel bolts. East to follow instructions for putting it together -it’s a lot easier to build if you get someone to help you!  All the welds are solid and the entire Power Tower looks and feels solid when in use.  The padding is excellent and takes the strain of the lower back and protects all parts of the body while you do your total body workout.

Working out is easy and with a standard 96” high ceiling the dips are no problem at all.  Even on padded carpet this thing doesn’t rock or shift at all. This machine will work your abs, triceps and all your upper body muscle groups.

The lifetime warranty convinced me that the Body Solid Commercial Rated Vertical Knee Raise and Dip Station Power Tower GVKR60 is built to last!

Bottom Line

If you want to maintain upper body tone, definition and strength the Body Solid Commercial Rated Vertical Knee Raise and Dip Station Power Tower GVKR60 is ideal for working out at home and comes in at a great price compared to many other upper body workout systems.

Body Solid has been manufacturing and distributing high quality exercise equipment for over 20 years and the Body Solid SDRS550 5-50-Pound Rubber Hex Dumbbell Set is yet another superb addition to their catalog.

Body Solid SDRS550 dumbbells are a patent-pending system combining cast iron heads with pinned steel inserts, press fitted and then welded.

They are shorter than traditional dumbbells and much easier to work with than normal long dumbbells.  They are rubber coated to protect your floors too.

Body Solid SDRS550 5-50-Pound Rubber Hex Dumbbell Set User Review

After years of putting up with old-fashioned dumbbells that rolled around on the floor and were downright hazardous my wife bought me a set of the SDRS550s for Christmas.

What a difference!  They’re much shorter and more compact than my old dumbbells and I find them so much easier to handle, stack and use.

They’re encased in rubber and rock solid, protecting our floors and my feet.  The question is now what can I do with my old set?

Bottom Line:

Stop struggling and tripping over those old round dumbbells and get a set of Body Solid SDRS550 5-50-Pound Rubber Hex Dumbbell Set – I wish I’d done it years ago!
