Cons:
Delivery was half an hour late and they did not call me to clarify that they are going to be late. (9.00am to 1pm slot. they arrived at 1.30pm)
Customer service: Not able to hear them clearly (perhaps due to the faulty phone system) and they did not call back even though they mentioned they would call me back to provide information on the delivery timing.
Wife was pissed because she wants to go out...
Equipment is slightly shaky.
When you are doing a pull up, you have to control your body to prevent your waist from touching the backrest. This can be improved if the pull up bar could protrude out more. But then the base would also need to be modified to provide more stability.
Hand grip is not very secure and tend to slip/ turn for the pull up bar.
Hand grips for pull up bar and dips is slightly narrow and exert more pressure on the hand when exercising.
Now for the pros:
Relatively cheap compared to retail outlet (and for including delivery and assembly). You need 2 persons to assemble this equipment.
Received computer generated sms confirmation that the product is going to arrive on certain time/ date.
Able to receive the product on the same day (order Sunday 12.0Xam and received on the same day at 1.30pm)
Although late, the delivery man was quick to apologize and he was friendly (he was teaching his colleague to set up the equipment in a very kind fashion ;P)
Assembly was quite fast and they did not damage my flooring.
Although the pull up bar has certain limitations, I am actually FORCED to do very standard chin ups (no jerking, slow ascend and descend). The narrow grip cause more pain/ pressure then normal chip up bars but not sure whether this could train my forearm or grip strength or pain tolerance (haha). I am able to do 50+ non-standard chin ups using chin-up bar at the park but reduced to 10+ chin ups using this equipment. Very humbling experience.
Dips is functional. Again grip handle can be wider.
Leg raise: Leg/ knee raise is amazing. Perhaps this equipment is primarily design for this exercise (hence its name). I do not think I need to do a sit up ever to train the abs (sit up tends to strain the neck, and you have to lie on the mat...)
Space saver: due to the design, this equipment can be placed against the wall.
Overall: Satisfied
