How is it when doing pull ups? Does it move or shake any?

There is some movement but not to the extent it may tip over. From dips on the other side to pull ups on the other, I find this Power Tower is very well built and stable.

I occasionally find it rock back if I launch a pull up really quick. By rocking back I mean towards myself and barely off the ground.

If you have a level floor this thing isn't shaking. I have mine on carpet and it doesn't move.

If it does it is very minimal. My husband said he didn't notice anything when I asked him and he is pretty picky about his workout equipment!!

There is some movement but it's minimal especially when on a decent surface

It would depend on how much you weigh. I am 6 ft 185 pounds and it shook like crazy. I had to have my wife stand on the other end while I did pull ups. I don't know if you read my review but I sold it on Craigslist about a month after I bought it.

It gives you a dip station, which is nice. While doing pull ups this tips backwards and is not sturdy in the way you'd expect it to be most sturdy. Dips are not a problem. Get one with dip station and pull up bar on the same side is my recommendation.

yes, for the only thing don't work really good is with pull ups, but I haven't found something that works for pull ups

It doesn't really shake that I've noticed. But I hold on because it takes some effort to walk on since it's manual (no motor making the belt turn). I am pleased with how it functions. I also purchased the silicone lubricant to put under the belt. I do not regret my purchase.

I have had no problems with shaking and I am not skinny. Maybe it was not set up properly

It seems to spin fine for me doing cleans and jerks and snatches. I've hit 225# on the clean with no issues.

The rocking movement of the dumbbell is just right... the sound goes in pair with the rough shaking for best toning and best thing to pump more reps... imagine being smooth and easy to handle... = no fun...

It does not shake at all for me. In my opinion, it is very well made and, provided you set it up right, which is actually very simple like 1,2,3; it will stay put in place. Remember to fasten the locking base to "anchor" the suction cup to the surface where you are setting it up. This is very good quality and you should not have any problems with it. Besides, it comes with a 90 day warranty inside. -Good luck!

You'll see in a couple of reviews that they claim it wobbles. They just didn't put it together correctly. If it wobbles you must loosen the bolts, get it level, stand on the legs, and tighten the bolts again. If your floor is level and you tighten the bolts properly then this unit is rock solid. Now if you're asking if it gives when doing dips then the answer is no it does not. There is no movement when using this dip station.

The chin up bar nor the dip bars exceed the length of the base. So your body weight does not throw it off balance. I weigh 190 and I attach a 25lb weight to myself and I can do both wide grip and close grip pull-ups. Keep in mind, this machine isn't anchored to the floor. With enough aggressive shaking, it can lose its balance. Hope this helps.

As far as the cables working on the pulleys, there's very little noise. However, if you drop the devices you're using and allow the weights to slam onto the stack, it is possible to make noise. There's a rubber shock absorber on the bottom of the weight stack that helps alleviate noise. If moderate care is taken during workouts, noise should not be a problem.

The base goes up and down (only about an inch or so) from side to side. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice. While it's vibrating, you can add to your workout by doing squats, arm pumps, even sit on it and do leg lifts. Several variations of exercises are shown in the operations manual. Good workout of joints and muscles, especially for those that can't walk very far like me.

Yes, the arms move back and forth. I have mine set on carpet which makes it difficult to operate but if you set it on a firm floor it's a great buy for it's price. It's not the same as the ones at the gym but it gives you a workout

It shakes a bit. But, it is not distracting. My son barely notices it and he's a serious player.

I have the same problem, I have a pullup bar that stands on the floor. The band still worked for me pretty well. What I had to do is bend my legs and the band rides down my thigh as I start the pullup but then as I straighten my legs the pressure comes off the thigh. It was quite awkward at first, but I got used to the motion and now I don't even notice it. They key to this is where you situation the band on the chinup bar. For example, on a wide grip chinup you need to situation the band just INSIDE your hand on the side that you're putting your foot into on the support strap. That way the strap won't cross your body or run outside your leg making it harder to bend your knees. Long story short, you can make it work, and in my opinion it is worth using the product. I've seen huge gains with it. Cheers. Ben.
