Red Outdoor Power Tower

Take your workout outside with the Outdoor Power Tower! Featuring four workout stations to develop the muscles in your chest, abs, shoulders, and biceps. Made from heavy-duty steel, stainless hardware, and a thick powder-coated red finish to ensure a weather-resistant and lasting design. VERSATILE PULL-UP STATION: Improve your functional strength with the multi-grip pull-up station that helps target your lats, back, and biceps by performing multiple reps. NOTE: A close grip will engage your biceps, while a wide grip will focus on your lats and back. BUILT-IN DIP STATION: Develop upper-body strength with the built-in horizontal dip bars extended out from the forearm frames. Using your body weight to focus on your chest and triceps, adjust your body's angle to isolate these core muscles; the more profound your angle, the more you will engage your chest. VERTICAL KNEE RAISE STATION: Strengthen your abdominal muscles by locking your grip to the vertical hand bars, then raise your knees to your chest to target your core, hip flexors, and quads. PUSH-UP STATION: The built-in elevated push-up station allows you to target your chest and shoulders. NOTE: Keeping your arms close to your sides targets your triceps or position yourself in a broader pose to isolate your chest.

Best GHD for a Home Gym — July 2026

What is a Machine?

What a strength machine is

A strength machine guides the resistance along a fixed path so you can train a movement safely, often without a spotter. The main types: selectorized (pick weight with a pin), plate-loaded (add your own plates for a heavier ceiling and better feel), and functional trainers / cable machines (adjustable pulleys for dozens of exercises).

Machines vs. free weights

Machines shine for isolation, safety, and high-rep hypertrophy, and for training hard alone. Free weights build more stabilizer strength and carry over better to sport. Most well-rounded home gyms use a rack and barbell as the core and add one machine — often a cable/functional trainer or a lat-pulldown/row — to fill the gaps.

The sub-types worth knowing

“Machines” covers several categories that barely compete with each other: GHDs for hamstring and posterior-chain work, belt squats for loading the legs without the bar on your back, leg press / hack squat combos for heavy quad volume, reverse hypers for posterior-chain work and lower-back decompression, cable towers and functional trainers for pulling movements, and row machines. Pick the one that fills a gap in what your rack and barbell already do. Almost nobody needs two.

Space and standalone vs. rack-mounted

Most of these come in a standalone version and a cheaper rack-attachment version. The attachment saves floor space and money, but often gives up stability or range of motion — a tradeoff worth checking on the specific product rather than assuming, since it varies a lot between designs.

A note on ratings

Machine listings frequently show a manufacturer’s own on-site rating, which runs high (4.7–5.0 is typical) and sometimes pools reviews across a whole product family rather than the exact configuration you’re buying. Where we have independent hands-on coverage, our summaries anchor to that instead, and say so on the product page.
