4.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, Versatile, & Folds Up Nicely!, April 7, 2010

--The Rack Workout Station--

PROS: I'm highly critical of workout gadgets, but I'm very impressed with THERACK! Unlike many other workout products, THERACK promotes real exercises that are time-tested and truly work (generally if it's hard to do and requires balance, you're on the right track). It's elegantly simple, seems to be of good quality construction, and despite my height of 6'1'' I was able to comfortably do dips and other exercises as advertised. Never mind the feeling I sometimes have--when it's set up for dips--that I now own a beefed-up walker. It folds very compact and fits under my bed, just as advertised. While there is NO substitute for weight training at a gym, this product will at the very least get you training with the right kinds of body-weight movements--even if it's in your small apartment.

CONS: ah, if only THERACK included a means of training legs--then it might be closer to the perfect training machine. Also, I find it much more difficult to use THERACK to properly hold your feet in place for sit ups (it's simply not heavy enough to act as a solid foot brace), and VERY difficult to use for seated ab work as it advertises as part of its training use (it's too difficult to sit on THERACK's "seated" area). Curls with THERACK are also not so great--bicep training is a bit awkward. My concern is that ultimately this is a dips/abs/triceps machine--other exercises seem more like just movements the company discovered you COULD do, but not particularly comfortably. Nonetheless, I'm glad to have THERACK get me training at home while I prep myself to begin getting my sorry ass to the gym =)

5.0 out of 5 stars It works!, August 9, 2011

This review is from: THERACK® Workout Station (Misc.)

Ordered the Rack two weeks ago - the saleslady on the telephone told me it would take three weeks for delivery. Perfect since I was coming off a serious illness. Wouldn't you know it, the thing arrived exactly one week later. Assembly required me to completely remove the two bolts (instructions call for loosening) in order to fit the hardware. Took some effort to do that, but upon final tightening, I have a solid unit. I watched the Starter video and wondered if the routine would be enough (I am an accomplished runner). The next day I found out. It wore me out!

Recommendations:

Get the reinforced model - this is the one that weighs 30 lbs. The ones
I saw in stores weigh twenty-three lbs. Guess you will have to mail
order if you want the better model.

If you are going to toss the Rack - do it on a matted surface. Face it,
plastic wheels are not designed to withstand rough impact on a hard
surface. Besides, equipment should not be carelessly tossed
regardless.

Get a matted surface to work on. (Sports Authority)

Get a decent chinup bar (one that is removable) (once again, Sports
Authority)

If you get one used, make sure it comes with the exercise videos.
The videos are key to the success of the device.

If you are over six feet two, this may not work for you. At five six,
this thing works great for me. There should be a size for tall people.

The Rack is not for weight lifters, although it could serve for flexibility training on the lifters off days. The Rack offers me an ideal device for core training (I am training for a fast mile). It is a well designed calisthenics machine and nothing more. Using it within its designed purpose will offer excellent results - if you use it properly.

3.0 out of 5 stars beware- terrible service, June 20, 2011

This review is from: THERACK® Workout Station (Misc.)

I bought this directly from the website, ordered the more expensive stronger tubing and it's seemed to work out fine until I shattered the cheap wheels when tossing it to ground has he constantly instructs in his videos. I called their customer service (India) and got the run around, call=busy signal, call=busy signal, when I actually got through, I was put on hold and hung up on. I reviewed the warranty, and you have to pay $30 to have them ship the product back, how about they just ship me the 3 dollar wheels and we'll call it even. Overall I'm fairly happy with the product, I'm working out, seeing results, but beware, there is no service with this product.
