XMARK Dip Station, 500 lb. Weight Capacity Dip Stand, Gray or Black

This is a very heavy duty dip station. It weighs 55 lbs, it is simple to assemble, and it was delivered by FEDEX in a few days. Functionality is excellent with the taper, short side, and long side for different sized people. Exactly what I needed.

Almost went with the slightly bigger and 2x priced Body Solid model, so glad I got my XMark ! Arrived quickly in 5 days via free shipping fed-ex in perfect condition. They really package this thing great, all done methodically and perfect, making it a breeze for me and one of our cats to put together in around 20 minutes. Especially like the pre-labled small parts blister pack, so you don't have to lose items or figure out what is what.I looked at a lot of reviews and researched a lot before going with the XMark. At 6'2 270ish I didn't want to break and buy again or have some wobbly garbage. This beauty makes me feel safe on it. It's VERY stable, and plenty of clearance. Large enough to handle all you need to with your movements and weight up to 400lbs., yet it doesn't take up a huge footprint. So glad I went with this instead of a power tower, as I now realize that the P.T. is not only bigger but you can't do the dip excercises as well as on a true dip station like this. And the handles are really comfy as other reviews have said. I didn't realize how important this is until use, as it enables me to do the excercises much easier and better than smaller and unpadded grips like on my gym's commercial power tower where I couldn't even do any dips at all on.So I got this not able to do even 1 dip and started with holds, and within a week I could knock out around 6-7 reps ! Since then I've had a few months and can do several sets of 2 types of dips and will soon need to add weight with a dip belt, which thankfully this baby can handle ! On this you can also do a modified pull-ups, and use to anchor for band pulls. I am so happy with the quality and comfort of the XMARK, a great lifetime investment for minimal cost.

Very sturdy and easy to assemble. I'm 6'2 and it is perfect height.

I don’t write reviews too often, but I felt as though this product deserves it. I’m really impressed with this dip station and so glad I purchased this specific one. What a lot of people don’t realize when performing dips, is how important the width of the bars is. You want to try to get the bars as close to your shoulder width as possible for proper engagement of your triceps. This specific dip station has one of the narrowest bar setups I could find and it works fantastic. It’s very solid, yet light enough to move around and has no “wiggle” when performing dips. You can perform dips from either side and the bars slightly curve out so you can go more narrow or wider if you prefer. The one thing to note when initially building (which is very easy and straightforward) is which direction the cross bar goes. You want to make sure the logo is facing the shorter side of the bars. If you look at the pictures I attached, that’s the front (no logo). The directions never mentioned this, not a big deal but something to note. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it!

Overall the best value, even better and more stable than the $300 one on Amazon. I’ve had about 5 dip bars over the years. This is the best in my experience.

Very sturdy/stable. No rocking or shaking while using it. I am 6'4" so while I was looking for a dip station my main concern was finding one that would be high enough off the floor that my knees wouldn't touch the floor while at the bottom of the dip. This was more than tall enough for me to do the full movement without worrying about my knees dragging the floor. Loved the product

You need to have a set of tools handy to assemble this dip station. The bottom pieces can't be tightened by hand. You will need pliers or a wrench to properly assemble it.I am on the move a lot due to work, and purchased this because I didn't think I needed my own tools to assemble it. I ended up hiring a handyman to assemble it. It is a sturdy premium piece of equipment.The only reason I won't give it 5 stars is because putting it together won't be easy if you don't own a tool set with pliers or a wrench. Besides that it's a great addition to someone's home gym.

After assembling and using the product, I can confirm it is well worth the price. It's comparable to units selling at Amazon for over $200 not including shipping, and this was only $118 including shipping. Do not compare this to portable units or dip bars that are added as an afterthought to so-called 'power tower' products. This is a proper sturdy stand-alone dip bar. Pair this with a good proper pullup bar or rings, either standalone or ceiling mounted, and you have a complete gym. Of particular note with this unit is the diameter of the grip. It's slightly larger than most other units selling at Amazon, and even smaller hands will appreciate the difference. The foam padding is comfortable to use but not so cushy that you will have issues with proprioception or feel disconnected from the bar. The height is another great feature as it allows you to maintain a proper hollow position, keeping your legs mostly straight, or add weight via a hip belt and plates if you choose. I would add weight by hooking a kettlebell on my feet or perhaps using a vest, but the belt and plate option can sometimes be easier to find and many people are accustomed to that method. The unit is plenty sturdy to allow me to do hollow position or L-sit position dips with no issues or concerns, something I can't say for other units. Whatever your dipping style, preference, or size, you (and your wallet) will like this dip stand.Assembly was easy. Don't overtighten the nuts and start bending the metal. I oriented the crossbar with the logo facing the short side of the base and the short side of the handles so that the short side had the narrower gap and the long side wider. It's possible to assemble it somewhat wrong, I suppose, so take your time and pay attention to how things fit together. Long side = wide side.
