 good design/concept, so-so construction August 31, 2010
Miles of Smiles
PROs: easy to install, convenient, the brackets that fit over/under the door are thin so it doesn't prevent the door from closing, good variety of workouts
CONs: some parts are plastic/cheaply built, one of my brackets broke in the first hour of using it, but it was only the bottom bracket of the weakest rope, so no big deal. The 45 lb rope on one side feels stronger than the other.
Not for everyone, BUT August 18, 2010
Jeremiah Mark (Sandpoint, ID)
I am a 100 percent disabled vet. That means that I don't have the money for a gym -- though I'd love to go to one so that I could not only use the weights, but also swim. Buying the Tower 200 required saving some money to make the purchase. I have used resistance bands before and sort of knew what to expect, but my expectations were exceeded in that I can really work my body to the limits of my disability -- and it is easy to overdo it.
Installing the unit was easy -- with the help of my wife. I pulled the bands up to take the pressure off while my wife moved the top-ends up to the top of the frame. Granted, I don't think that the actual weight value is 25, etc., pounds, but it is close enough to give me a workout. I combine this with walking around my neighborhood (1 mile total). This, believe it or not, is what I needed to lose fat and tone my muscles. I have a real problem with my back (low to upper back -- damage due to jumping from aircraft). If I'm not careful, I can overdo it on this device, and have. Took a few days for my back to cool down and stop hurting.
Some years ago, my wife also purchased a Total Gym. I use it primarily for leg exercises. Every other muscle group I can do on the Tower 200. I still have a set of dumbells and use them to add variety to my workouts. I think that overall it is the variety that really helps.
To find out if this is for you, buy a small resistance tube set at Wal-Mart or here online at Amazon, and try it for a while. If you like it, then move on to the Tower 200. No, you won't get big like those Mr. Olympia guys, but you will certainly improve your physical appearance and health.
 Good idea but not sturdy enough August 16, 2010

Great product idea but not sturdy enough. The cables were not equal at 25lbs and at 45lbs. I felt less resistance on the left side of the tower. The hook for the straps snapped during a work out. I was unable to do a complete workout due to the failure of the hooks and resistance. Customer service was excellent with Cali-Wholesale who sent me another unit for free but unfortunately I had the same issues with resistance and the cables were tangled on the 2nd unit. Thank you Cali-Wholesale for the best customer service experience I have ever experienced when shopping online. I give you guys 5 stars for your quick response and fast shipping.

Received the Tower 200, it was not in the original packaging, but appeared to be in new condition so I gave it to my son for his birthday. On the third day of my son using it, while doing an arm exercise (diong them correctly), a clip broke and my son flew across the room. Thankfully, he did not get hurt...I contacted Web Deals and they instructed me to return the item for a full refund. Although I was dissappointed that this happened, I was happy that they were going to fully refund me without any trouble (or so I thought). They received the item back on 8/3/10, it has been two weeks and I still have NOT received a refund. I have sent multiple emails with NO response! Now, I will file a dispute with Amazon as well as the credit company.
Poor Quality Product August 6, 2010
Johnny B
The idea behind the product is solid, however the execution and installations is horrible. The tension on the cords makes it extreemly hard to place on the door, and even harder to adjust. The pulleys are weak, the tension cables cheap quality, and it looks like it can break at any second. I am returning mine after using it for a few days and getting the P-90X in its place.
