I'm in the process of upgrading my home gym by adding
Powertec equipment I've really like their equipment
have gone to other forums and read nothing but positve feedback I'm just deciding between the Powertec-WBMS and
the new Quikfit system that just came out, does anyone on this site own or use their equipment and what's your take on these products?

I bought Powertec's Bench Rack System a couple months ago when I had to give up hitting the gym. I like it, it seems to have very solid construction, and easily adjusts.
The only hassle with mine is that I have to unlatch and move the bench whenever I need to use the rack. But I specificly bought that system becuz I'm pressed for space. So it's a catch 22.
That's the only piece of Powertec equipment that I own, and it's brand new still so I can't give any feedback on longevity. I do like mine so far :big_smile:

Thank You for response, I thought I would get more feedback on this question seeing that membership on this site is large. I'm leaning more towards the workbench Multisystem I'm going to keep the equipment that I already have (I'll post pics later)just add this system to it.:)

You know I read on the Powertec site that they are a fairly new company as far as selling to the general public is oncerned. Besides the fact that many ppl here go to gyms, their newbie status might be why few seem to own their gear. Despite the fact that they're based in Philli, (I think) their warehouse is here in Socal. My system arrived 3 days after my bankcard cleared!
Hope you like yours. Maybe you can tell me how it works out. I might re-invest in more of there products in the future.
