Cable Tower

I now have two of these in a functional trainer setup and they are excellent. Very reliable and smooth action on the pulleys, and plenty of loading capacity.

Great piece of kit! Sturdy and well build unit. Instructions were pretty easy to read without an issue. Gives a variety of exercises for a good price. I like the
2 to 1 adaptor which’s gives you the option to work heavier exercises like Lat pull downs and rows.

Cons; slightly too short for a standard bench to do Pulldowns, but if your not an overly tall person there is a YouTube DIY hack that gives you an extra pulley at the time to give you some extra height for pull downs as you can see in the photos which works great. Found the cables to not be as smooth as I hoped but still works great.

If you’re looking at to buy one or upgrade your home gym set up, I’d 100% recommend this.

Excellent so far.

Pros:
- Well built, even if you have to put it together the body its solid.
- Cables are solid.
- Instructions are clear and video is even better.

Cons:
- You need to get the pully upgrade. The pullies that it comes with are had plastic and seem like they will not last.
- Besides the two adjustable nylon handles you need to buy attachments for it.

I bought 2 cable towers with uprights and 2 uprights extra to make custom feet. With the original part it was to high. So, I built my own squat rack but I used the uprights side to install my attachments and my bench. This setup allows me to use pulleys and squat rack whitout moving anything. Also, me and my wife can train together. This products are amazing! The 2:1/1:1 ratio is incredible. I made my own attachment and roll pad to make lat pulldown. If the uprights would be available with numbers and if roll pad would be available, it can be a good addition.

I own a commercial gym and am very picky about equipment. I work with Life Fitness, Cybex, Keiser. I needed a cable tower for my home basement. Low ceilings limited options until I discovered this. Even unpacking it, I could tell the quality is excellent. The weight stack plates are better than Life Fitness. Got a back-upright and it’s super stable. Smooth glide and plenty of resistance for any exercise. Extremely versatile. Ryan Wnuk was incredibly helpful with every detail from ordering-to shipping-to assembly. Bells of Steel delivers!

Number of exercises, Very smooth pulleys and I got less pain

I’ve been slowly building my home gym and this was the thing I’ve wanted the most. There was a summer sale so I bit the bullet and bought one. Let me tell you it was a great decision.

The unit itself is sturdy and well built. Even without the pulley upgrade it’s smooth and stable through every movement. I replaced going to the gym with this machine. I can do leg extensions, lying leg curls, belt squats, kneeling lat pull downs, rows, flys , bicep/tricep exercises and my favourite cable goblet squats.

This tower has levelled up my training in so many ways! I love it. Also it was really easy to put together and I’m not handy at all. Pandemonium squat is next!

If I was starting my home gym again, this would be my second (and possibly only) purchase after a rack (weights and a bar notwithstanding). I replaced a traditional lat pulldown + low row machine that cost the same and this is half the footprint and is completely rigid unlike that old flaccid piece of crap. I could do possibly 5 relevant exercises on that old one, but this one I can think of 50 off the top of my head.

Construction is very good, the numbered parts list makes so much sense. The instructions are clear and well structured.

Love the ability to do cable crossovers at home!
Great movements from any height
Smooth and sturdy
Be sure to mount to a wall , compact design
Love it!

I recently purchased the cable tower for my home gym. I have a BOS rack in my garage, but I wanted something the rest of the family would use. I love this machine. It is very compact for our little gym and of amazing quality. We use this for arms, rowing, lat pulldowns, core work etc. It is heavy enough to hook up my Crossover Symmetry cables as well.

Bells of steel cable tower is extremely well built, the pulley system is smooth and very adjustable to my needs. The system came packaged well and was easy to build including a back support which I still was able to mount to my wall. Excellent product and support! Thank you, Lenny

Nice space saving machine that opens a wealth of exercise opportunities for your home gym!

I’ve owned two cable towers from different companies before selling them and picking this one up—and it’s been my favorite by a long shot.

This tower apart is the variety of attachments, multiple options, which are actually creative and useful, unlike other brands.

Assembly was straightforward, everything came together smoothly, and the tower itself operates super smooth and solid. I couldn’t be happier with how it performs.

This is my second purchase from Bells of Steel, and every experience I’ve had with them—from ordering and shipping to assembly, build quality, and interactions—has been consistently great.

For some context, I used to weigh over 550 lbs and have lost more than 300 lbs. Now I’m working toward getting into bodybuilding, and like a lot of people, my home gym is always evolving to match my goals. This tower fits perfectly into that process.

I’m already planning to get a second tower to link together and replace my current rack setup, and I’m looking forward to eventually transitioning most—if not all—of my gym equipment over to Bells of Steel.

Also, check out their videos on social media and watch all the clever ways you can use this tower (leg extensions AND leg presss?!?)))

I’m really enjoying my Bells of Steel cable machine. I chose the weight stack version, and it’s added a huge amount of exercise variety to my home gym. The included shackles to prevent cable twisting are a great detail, and I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the weight stack stickers.

Assembly was quicker than expected, and once bolted to the wall the unit feels very solid. I was missing a page from the instructions, but Bells of Steel support was easy to reach, friendly, and sent the correct PDF within minutes. Great build quality, versatility, and customer service overall.

We got the plate-stack version and, overall, it's a great system, very smooth during use. It was straightforward to assemble, has operated flawlessly, and I haven't experienced any functional issues.

That said, there are a couple of things I wish Bells of Steel had considered:

1. Weight horns for additional loading

I'm not sure why they couldn't have added weight horns to the sides of the stack. It would make it much easier to add extra resistance when needed. Using a weight-adder pin works, but it tends to interfere with the cables and isn't the most elegant solution.

2. The 60mm x 60mm, 5/8" hole system

This is by far my biggest issue. If Bells offered a wider range of compatible attachments, it would be less of a problem. However, here in the UK there are almost no options for a good lat pulldown leg holder attachment for this size. That seems like a major oversight considering the tower has a 1:1 ratio, and without a leg holder it's difficult to perform heavy lat pulldowns without being lifted off the seat.

Because this sizing is essentially unique to Bells of Steel, I can't easily find a reasonably priced third-party attachment that fits.

If the Oblivion Tower had been available in the UK when I made my purchase, I would probably have chosen that instead, purely for the greater attachment compatibility.

Despite these criticisms, the tower itself is excellent and has performed very well.
