I love this thing. If you're in the stage of your life where you're renting, this is the only option unless you're lucky enough to have a tall enough outdoor railing, and it's arguably better than that.The only other ways to really do v-dips, also known as "gironda dips", is to have that 90 degree bar, and those exist in only a few gyms, as attachments for power racks in another price range, or require serious DIY skills.And, if you lack that much space, this is still arguably better as it also functions as a normal flat bench and has anchor points for resistance bands, which it comes with 1 of, a pair of handles and a pair of leg straps (+ storage bag and carabiners).All the metal components appear to be steel, nicely-welded and is held together by interlocking 3 parts - the top V-section is one continuous piece that locks onto the top, of the central part and the lower foot is one continuous piece that locks onto the bottom. There are pieces that further secure them together with quick release pins as well as the bench surface (which came to me shipped in a second package) that adds weight to the back and further stabilizes it, also held in place with pins. The tubing is fairly large in diameter and it feels like a good balance of stability while maintaining storability.This thing is engineered and designed super well, way better than most other products I've bought recently. It's not too good for the price, but it's not a piece of junk. Every dollar that goes into it feels worthwhile, and I've seen the inventor of it talk on video - this piece of equipment is his labor of love and it's frankly inspiring.There are only 3 complaints I have - 1 is that the rings for the pins and support pieces rattle. I quieted it with some masking tape, but it's pretty annoying in the stages where you're still getting used to doing the dips. The 2nd is that the finish in some places - paint on one of the parts had some residue rubbing off til I gave it a thorough scrub, and the rubber grips on the v-dip bars had a pretty harsh chemical odor that gets on your hands, but it's gotten better over time. The other complaint is that it's made in china - I understand why it had to be done - I saw the interview he gave and the engineering costs on this were huge which meant cutting in other spots - but it's still regrettable. The quality does look like he went for the upper end of chinese manufacture, but I still hope he can move to having it moved to at least Taiwan or Mexico in the future, if not USA.All that said, if you have the space and money or skill to put up a dedicated custom-welded gironda bar, go for it. If you need something you can pack into a closet or take with you when you move, or can't affix anything to your landlord's walls, this is the thing, the only thing, that lets you do this exercise. And it allows much more if you add more bands and/or dumbbells. It's also pretty good as an option if you're just starting out, since it isn't a nightmare to set up and if you want to sell it later it can be removed by 1 person.Well done. 5 stars.

I wanted a piece of home gym equipment that I could do dips on and other exercises, but also wouldn't take up much room and could be moved around easily. The VDip is super solid and well made and easily holds my 210 lb body. Was a little concerned that the V-shape of the dip area might have been too wide, but it works really well for my frame. It also is easy to store in the corner of my home office now moonlighting as a home gym. The bench and clips for attaching workout bands are nice additional features to add in more exercises. Some drawbacks though - because it's solid, it comes with a lot of weight so it isn't that easy to move around. Also the size is a lot bigger than most pieces of equipment I'm use to. It's a bit cumbersome to get up on the dip bar as it's tall; 4'5" from floor to top of dip handle. At 5'11" I struggle a little and use a box to get up and down on it. I have a wide 42" chest, but feel most comfortable as close as I can get inside the V for my dips. The bench is nice, well made and solid too, but the hight of the bench itself is very tall at over 2'1" from the floor and cumbersome as well to do bench dumbbell rows or to keep your feet sturdy on the ground while doing bench presses or flyes. It'd probably be a perfect piece of equipment for people over 6'5" tall.Overall, I'd recommend the VDip if you are looking for a solid piece of home gym equipment and love doing dips as part of your workouts and would like a workout bench to do other things. If you are under 6' tall though you'll just need to really assess how you'd use the VDip in your workouts. As a side note, Abdon (the owner) is great to work with and very responsive.

REVIEW: I bought the Vdip about 6 weeks ago, right when COVID made it clear that I wasn’t going to be getting back to the gym for a while. I already have some gym space in my house, but it’s primarily used for MMA training, and I was really limited on the extra space I had for more equipment. So, I wanted to try and get something that could serve multiple purposes. Let me tell you, this thing is pretty <expletive deleted> awesome! To start with, it’s a really solid piece of equipment (no cheap plastic frame or pleather bench on this thing), yet it’s surprisingly light so you can move it from dip position to bench position really easily. I started out using it just for dips and dumbbell bench press, but once I got a set of resistance rubber bands it opened it up for back, bis, legs, glutes (or at least my wife says so), and just about anything else you can think of. Net/net: The Vdip was a great purchase.Now…let me also tell you about the owner (Abdon) who is just as awesome as the Vdip. So, I did have an issue when I first got the machine. The paint on one of the three components was just trashed. This wasn’t a surprise since the box it came in looked like the guys from UPS dropped it off a bridge a handful of times before bringing it to my door. I reached out to the company through Amazon, and Abdon (the owner) contacted me back immediately. After I showed him pictures of the damage, he immediately sent out a replacement for the base AND the bench (which wasn’t really even that damaged). He stayed in contact with me multiple times while it was in transit, and made it super easy to send the damaged equipment back. That kind of service makes it even easier to recommend this piece of equipment.PROS: Extremely sturdy. Super fast/easy assembly. Fits in a very compact space. The hooks for rubber bands make this thing so much more versatile than just a dip machine.CONS: The 3 components fit together extremely tightly (which is great), but it does mean you’re likely to scuff off a little bit of paint when you’re putting it together.ADVICE: Definitely get yourself a set of rubber bands of different weights, it will add SO many additional exercises to your routine with the Vdip. Also, as mentioned above, assembly is ridiculously easy. However, I would also advise taking a minute or 2 extra to check all the screws and tighten any that may be loose. There was only one loose on mine, so it took less than 30 seconds to tighten, but if you’re going to be using it every day (like I have been), it’s better to be safe than sorry.
