Knee Raise
To lose inches around your waist and develop ab muscles worthy of showing off, use the stable vertical knee raise (VKR) station, which also helps tone your oblique and hip flexor muscles. And, if the VKR arms interfere with your pull-ups, the armrests can be folded upward and out of the way.

The perfect combination of comfort, style and versatility, the Weider Club 290 Power Tower uses innovative features, like the fold-away VKR station, while improving on the classics, like a multi-grip pull-up station, for fast effective workouts.

Very sturdy piece of equipment
By Dan (Kentucky) on Aug 21, 2009

I like the fact that you can raise the arms out of the way. Those arms can be very annoying at the gym when doing pull-ups. Shipping took a little while and was a little “bruised” when it got here is only reason for 4 stars. Worth the money however.

Seems ok, assembly not optimal, October 3, 2009
By DC “NY” (NY)

My purpose for purchasing the 390 was for the pull-ups. My doors can’t handle the weight of those pull-up bars which are sold everywhere, so the 390 seemed like a good substitute. A secondary reason was the dips.

Considering that there are no weights on this machine, the whole thing is surprisingly heavy. Nothing that a grown person or two can’t re-position occasionally, mind you; just heavier than expected, for a non-weight exercise unit. (amazon.com)

5.0 out of 5 stars I finally found the perfect workout machine., May 12, 2006
By Zeb Weedrick (Furnessville, IN United States) – See all my reviews

I looked at the “Total Gym” machine (the one pushed by Christie Brinkley and Chuck Norris). I went to their website and requested their free video; a few days later, I got a phone call from them, telling me that if I bought it that very day, I could save $100. “I want the video”, I said. I never got the video. That sent up “red flags” in my head for the Total Gym people. I resent being hustled. (amazon.com)

Tough workout
By Charlie (Flint, MI) on Jan 19, 2009

This thing give a tough workout. at the low settings I get a killer cardio workout and at the highest pitch I can burn out fast. It says you can do like 100 exercises but so far I’ve just focused on 10 or 15 of them. (weiderfitness.com)

Weider home gym strength training equipment is the low cost alternative to Bowflex and other higher price options. The first question you should ask yourself before shopping for any particular brand or model of a home gym is whether or not you will have the self discipline to use it in a purposeful way. People tend to stay motivated and continue to workout at commercial gyms because there is a variety of exercise equipment and because of something like the peer pressure we all felt in high school. There won’t be anybody else to push you with a home gym.

If you are committed to a home gym or to a strength training program, and you will be working out by yourself some of the time, then maybe you should stay away from weight benches and free weight. A bench press can quickly turn into a crisis even with safety equipment. It happens.

Here is an overview of some of the Weider home gym systems. You can get detailed information and helpful home gym reviews from the links to a specific Weider home gym.
