The Power Tower has provided our team of exercise physiologists and personal trainers with the flexibility to explore exercises and postures with clients we would not feel comfortable in achieving with other pieces of equipment. The Power Tower is a sturdy piece of equipment which can be easily modified and adjusted to different positions to achieve great client outcomes. With the help of the Power Tower our staff to focus on global multi joint movements where the client’s bodyweight is the primary resistance and we have had plenty of fun playing around with bilateral/ unilateral upper and lower body movements that only this machine allows. I would highly recommend purchasing the Power Tower for work with general populations as well as when working with people with neurological conditions where achieving certain positions/ postures are often a barrier when performing resistance training.
