Ultimate Body Press Dip Bar Fitness Station - Adjustable Width Folding Dip Stand with Angled Grips, Stable Leveling and Easy Storage

It’s a little expensive for some tubes but they are sturdy, easy to put together and easy to store. Overall if you’re looking to add a dip and pull up equipment that’s functional and breaks down for storage this is the best piece. I bought a strap and a hook and secure them on the wall so they’re out of the way till I need them, 3 minutes to put together is all it takes.

After reading the full spectrum of reviews here at Amazon as well as trying out numerous models of dip stations at local sporting good stores, I decided to give the Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand a try.While I ultimately gave the item five stars, let me begin with two minor complaints.First, assembly is not as easy as it could be. Each part is marked with a colored dot that slides into a second part with a corresponding colored dot. However, two of the colors (yellow and slightly darker yellow) are nearly indistinguishable in normal lighting and with a casual glance. If you stop and look for the difference, it's there, but it doesn't stand out. Once you've differentiated between two very similar shades of yellow dots, assembly is pretty straightforward. The directions are not terribly useful (which isn't that big of deal, since you really can't mess up matching colored dots), but I'd strongly encourage the company to rewrite them; they appear as if they were written by someone who is very familiar with the assembly process and not written for someone who had just received a box of parts.Second, after the product is assembled, there's a disturbing amount of play to it. For all intents and purposes, you wouldn't want something to which you were going to entrust your full body weight to wiggle a good deal and it does - but only until you put your body weight on it. Seriously. Please allow me to continue. This is a five star review after all.The Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand is well-designed and incredibly sturdy. Once your body weight is on it, it tightens up beautifully. Granted, the first time or two it's a little disconcerting to be able to stand next to the Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand and wiggle it as if all the joints are loose, only to have it be incredibly tight and stable when you apply your body weight to it. Once you've mounted the device, there's no play to it at all and it's just a hair below being rock solid. I realize how odd that sounds, but that was exactly my experience with the Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand.That said, it performs beautifully. I had been a dedicated member of my local gym for nearly ten years before it went out of business, at which point I decided to workout from home. The Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand was the missing piece of equipment in my home gym and I'm accustomed to doing a lot of dips at the gym. There is an extremely slight wobble to the device when doing body weight exercises on it (I weigh almost 200 pounds) but it isn't enough to be a distraction or a safety concern. Even when you reach the end of a set and your arms are shaking, the Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand remains very stable. If I hadn't been concerned by how much this piece of equipment wiggled when I stood next to it, the wobble while in use is so minute that I probably wouldn't have noticed it. Having done a lot of dips over the years, the wobble is very minor and I truly believe you'd need a solid weld, rather than a connection, to completely eliminate the play. The construction is solid (think fitted metal pipes sliding into each other and locking in place with large pins), everything from the hand grips to the rubber pieces that touch the floor are well-made, and having worn out my share of equipment, the Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand seems to be much more durable than most pieces of home gym equipment.For the price, I would recommend the Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand without reservation. I'm extremely happy with the purchase - especially at the price - and given my personal preference, I imagine that I will use it much more frequently than the average purchaser, so I'm probably more critical than most. I'm giving it five stars as its only real competition would be a high-end dip station where all the joints have been welded into a single unit. For a piece of home gym equipment that is capable of being disassembled for shipping or storage, I honestly can't imagine how you would improve upon this item. It's as stable, functional, and durable as you can get without welding all of the joints together.

Putting this together was a bit confusing. The instructions listed an instructional video to put it together, which I thought would be helpful. Until I put in the link on my computer. It didn't work."Dots" are used to put the bar together. A couple "dots" were missing on my bars, but I figured it out. Putting it together was fairly easy once I figured it out.Since I'm trying to conserve space, it is nice that you can fold it down by pressing some tabs and turning the legs it. It saves a lot of room. I really like that feature.I'm almost 200 lbs and there was very little (if any) "wobble" on a carpeted floor. I didn't try it on a non-carpeted surface. I felt safe doing dips on this device. It has weight to it and feel sturdy.I felt it was a bit pricey for what you are getting. Overall I'm satisfied with the purchase and its features.

I like that it does not take up much space. It works. Angles suit me. Had it for 5 years, used for almost everyday for a 2 year stretch and looks like new hence this review. The “soft part” is long and very durable. I do t break it down, just up against wall. It’s great for dips (my preference) but could get a good workout with back pulls - on back pulling up horizontal on floor.

When not in use, I store all my workout equipment in a small corner of my garage, so when I decided to get a dip stand, it had to be easily foldable for compact storage. The Ultimate Body Press was the only foldable model I could find, so I hoped it would work well. It didn't disappoint me. It goes together very easily and once you put your weight on it, it's rock solid. I felt very secure during dips. I even tried swinging during leg raises to further test its stability, and it remained totally stable. I just can't understand all the reviewers that complained about it being wobbly during use. The non-slip grips worked well, and I liked that they weren't padded. The entire dip stand seems very well made and I feel confident it will be durable in the long term. Folding it up for storage is also fast and easy. My only criticism is the use of stickers for color coding the assembly. Without the stickers, proper assembly would be difficult at best. One of my stickers was already pealing slightly when I received the dip stand, and it is very likely other stickers will loosen with use, so I added some clear tape all the way around the tube at each colored sticker, to make sure they stay attached. If you don't need a folding dip stand, there are plenty of good choices that are cheaper than the Ultimate Body Press, but if you need it to fold this is an excellent product.

The good part - you can do dips with it. So it does its job.The bad part - it's not really foldable, essentially you need to disassemble and reassemble it every time you want to "fold" it up for storage. That's kind of a pain.If I could do it over again I would look elsewhere.
