What customers say
★★★★★
Perfect for my small place
Lives in the corner of my room and I just grab it when im watching tv. Chest and forearms get a good burn, wish I got it sooner
★★★★☆
Pretty good
Took a few tries to find the right tension but its fine now. Feels sturdy. Only 4 stars cause the handles take some getting used to
★★★★★
No more gym trips
Used to drive to the gym just for upper body days. Now I do it at home and it's light enough to throw in a bag too

A hydraulic cylinder gives steady resistance through the whole press, so you stay in control of every rep.
Stable and comfortable
A triangle support keeps the trainer steady, and non-slip grips help you hold on when your hands get sweaty.

Questions
Can beginners use it?
Yes. Start at a low level, focus on form, and raise the resistance when the movement feels easy.
How do I change the resistance?
Turn the knob on the trainer to move between levels. Check the instructions that come with your unit for the exact steps.
Is it really 440 lb?
440 lb is the rated top of the range. Most people train at much lower levels, and that is fine. Start low and work up.
Can I take it with me?
Yes. It is compact and portable, so you can use it at home, at the office or while travelling.
Is it a full gym replacement?
No. It is a simple way to train your upper body at home. If you have a health condition or an injury, check with your doctor before starting.
THE FACTS
Short sessions at home add up
4 × 10 min
A 10-minute session four times a week adds up to 40 minutes, inside the 30–60 minute weekly range linked to the biggest benefit in a 2022 review of 16 studies.
2+ days
US guidelines advise muscle-strengthening on 2 or more days a week that works all major muscle groups. The Power Twister trains your upper body, so pair it with leg work to cover the rest.
1.63 kg
