Detailed Review of the Gravity Fitness Portable Bodyweight and Pull Up Rack

With steel construction, the poles used for this pull up rack can be taken apart and stored in the carry bag. When you fit them together you get a tower that is 117cm tall, 40.5cm wide and 26cm deep. It weights a little over 19 kilograms. Gravity fitness protect themselves by giving a reasonably light ‘max user weight’. This is listed at 110kgs – which is a little over 17 stone.

What is impressive about this rack is that there are no screws or bolts to use. That speeds up the assembly, it also means less parts to lose, or to wear out. The rack is built from steel, with and is powder coated to look great.

As you will see from the gallery, the square base is key to the stability of this pull up rack. If you have a wooden floor, or delicate carpet, it is worthwhile getting a rubber gym mat to put underneath this setup. This will stop it from moving – as well as protecting your floor.

You get a three-year warranty with this unit – more than long enough to convince yourself of its potential.
