Wall Mount Dip Station with Vertical Knee Raise by Ultimate Body Press

I don't have the room for gym equipment in my house so I needed something I could put in my unfinished storage room that takes minimal space. The instructions and hardware it came with were to mount it on a framed wall but it worked out great on a concrete wall with a bit of work. I ended up buying two 3/8"x5" wedge anchors for the top bar. Had to drill the holes on the frame to be slightly larger than the original 5/16" but I couldn't find wedge anchors in 5/16" and wanted the extra strength that wedge anchors provide. Then I used two tapcon 3/16"x4" fasteners for the support bracket with a stack of washer between the bracket and wall to make up for uneven surface. Go slow with the tapcon and don't use a ratchet or you'll snap the head off the screw like I did. After everything was said and done it's incredibly sturdy, doesn't move or creak at all and feels solid. I'm actually even missing a screw on the support bracket since I snapped the head off and can't get it out, but it's still extremely solid. The unit is well built, the pads are made well and it feels right to use. It's great to not take up floor space.

I recently purchased two products that were made by Ultimate Body Press. This dip station and their wall mounted pull up bar.These units are solid and attach firmly to wall studs with large lag bolts. I was a little skeptical being wall units but after mounting them to the wall and getting the units cranked down tight to the sheetrock they appear to hold very well.However, despite the quality of the station the arm rests for this unit do no align to the holes on the unit. They are 7/8" off. I've sent a message to the company to see if they can help me out. I DO NOT want to have to take this unit down and ship it back. That'd be a pain. I also fear attaching the new unit to the same place on the wall studs as it may not be as secure. I'd probably want to move the unit to ensure a firm attachment.I'll post a response if and when I hear back from Ultimate Body Press.UPDATE: As I mentioned above I used the Ultimate Body Press web online form to post a message for assistance. Within 24 hours a customer service representative replied to my message stating he had overnighted replacement arm rests for the unit. The form asks for an email and home address. The arm rests arrived the next day and I installed them immediately.I am very pleased with the customer service I received. They saved me the hassle of having to return the product to Amazon and they were very quick to respond. I didn't end up waiting days and days to remedy the issue.I ran through a workout last night using each of these products. I am impressed with the quality of their products and am certainly a fan of their customer service. I would recommend these products to anyone.

I decided against buying a floor standing dip station with pull-up bar. Those things are huge. Instead, I bought this station and installed a pull-up bar above it. It's perfect. It takes up no floor space and looks great in my workout room. Most importantly, it works. The angle is perfect for leg raises and back support, and the dip handles are money. I couldn't be happier with it.

I was weary about purchasing this product, as many other customers complained that the parts did not assemble correctly. I had it 90% installed when I discovered that the vertical handle grip was not machined correctly and could not thread the bolt. The Amazon.com seller was unable to send me a replacement part, but did (satisfactorily) provide a partial refund. I contacted the manufacturer directly, and they were more than happy to send a replacement part free of charge. It is now installed and fully functional.I am not marking the product down due to customer service issues. Both parties were great and handled my problem appropriately. However, even though the product was marked "new" and came fully packaged, it has several scratches and gashes in the paint, most likely due to machining. The paint job looks like it was dropped and run along a cement floor. Also, the padding is very cheap. It looks like it was stapled on in a sweat shop and will most likely tear off after repeated use.But it seems to work great for my simple workout. The wall studs and drywall seem to be holding, even for the extended vertical pushups. (For references, I weigh about 140 pounds.)

This dip station is completely rock solid, no sway or movement of any kind. The wall mounting certainly lends to it’s sturdiness, as well as utilitarian good looks. Leg raise configuration feels perfect, and hand position for dips is spot on.Minor gripes; the slightly small dip grip handles cut into your hands a bit, and the installation instructions weren’t the best. Both easily overcome. Otherwise, this is my perfect dip station.
