Tower 200 Body By Jake Review

Reviews of Body By Jake’s Tower 200, As Seen on TV

Randy Couture is a name that many people know instantly as being one of the greatest mixed martial artists to ever compete in the sport.  The Tower 200 is a piece of fitness equipment that is based on the workouts that he does in order to get in shape.  So there’s certainly a respectable name behind it, but the bigger question is one of whether it works or whether it’s just the latest in a long line of online duds.Our review below will help you decide if this product is something you want to purchase, so read on.

Realistic Expectations

Within the realm of trying to answer what is a realistic goal, it is first important to make sure that you have some realistic expectations about what you can actually get from the Tower 200.  Firstly, you cannot get the same body that Randy Couture has.  No matter what piece of equipment you use, that body is probably not going to happen for you.  This is a man that works out every single day and makes his livelihood from staying in shape and being in peak physical condition.  Those of us that work other jobs to make a living will never have the time to get our bodies into as good a physical condition as Randy Couture is currently in.  

That being said, there are some good things about this product.  The exercises that you can do number over 200 and for eachl of these exercises you can get up to 200 pounds in weight resistance .  The equipment can be easily attached to just about any door in your house and once you start doing the 11-minute workouts according to the instructions you’ll be backed by a lifetime warranty for at least some of the parts of the product.  

When you put all of these things together, what you’ll realize is that you can indeed get into great shape.  You can get some semblance of a washboard ab and of course you can get healthy which should really be the main goal here.  All of these things are possible and if you keep your expectations realistic (i.e. don’t think that in two weeks you’ll be the next Randy Couture), you should definitely be able to get some gains from using the Tower 200 Body by Jakes.

Setup and Exercise Instructions for the Tower 200

The Tower 200 has excellent documentation that comes with your purchase.  Too many of todays fitness equipment like this have setup and use instructions that are vague.  The end result is that you install them wrong and then just give up after a few days because the wrong installation makes them too hard to use.

From the moment you start using the Tower 200, you’ll be guided through the entire process.  Installation is easy and the ability for it to hang on any door gives you choice about where you want to put it.  Then, the exercises are clearly explained both in chart form and on a DVD that accompanies the device.  Good documentation combined with well-documented results from proper use is all that anyone can ask from a fitness device and this one certainly does have both of those things.

  1. So I set this thing up to my bedroom door and close it to use and it works like a charm...when I'm done and try to open the freakin door it's JAMMED BY THE HOOKS! Took me forever to open that door.I thought I'd never see the inside of my room again...Jesus
  2. I was going to buy this. After reading all of the injuries this product has caused, and laughing my A#$ off, I am not purchasing. I do suggest reading this though, it is funny!!!
  3. !!BEWARE!! I've been injured by this product! The plastic coloured hoops that connect to the handles are a weak point and gave way whilst working out. Which knocked me off balance and whiplashed over my arm leaving a nasty bruise. The result revealed that the bungy, looped and held together with a metal clip, sits loosely within the plastic mold and the base of the mold takes the full weight which, in my opinion, it shouldn't. I received a second bruise in another situation when connecting more than one hoop which slipped withing the connection causing it to bite on my arm during full stretch. I warning people not to align a fully stretched bungy with your face! Bruises heal but the loss of teeth or an eye is irreplaceable.
  4. I pretty much agree with most of what you have been saying. I myself bought this system a few months ago and while it won't replace a modern gym full of expensive equipment it is still a good product in its own right. I probably use it around twice a week and also go to the gym around twice a week. I work from home and sometimes I'm too engrossed in my work and can't afford to drop everything, get ready, drive to the gym, find somewhere to park, work out and drive back again. So having the Tower 200 at home is really handy to have a quick workout and I still get a decent workout in. I haven't noticed any decrease in strength or muscle since going to the gym less and replacing it with this system. For the price of around 2 or 3 months gym membership I think this system is definitely worth it whether as a replacement or in my case an accompaniment to the gym.
  5. Hi, Im Ronnie from the jesey Shore and keepin it real is what its all about. When Im not fighting with my girl Sammi Sweatheart, knocking out wanksters on the boardwalk, kicking Sitch's a$$ or fist pumping I get my swull on with the tower 200. I have had a few problems though. Those cables are very tricky. I couldnt figure out how to attach the tower to my door so I destroyed my door and called up my boy Pauly D and all he could say is "CABS AHHHH HEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" So after I replaced my door I destroyed i finally figured out how to hook the tower up. after many many cycles and 15 minutes a day on my tower 200 i have the body you all love on the Jersey Shore. Dont forget new episodes of Jersey Shore every thursday @10/9c.
  6. it kicked my butt, good machine. For those people who have negative words about this product, they just do not know how to work it. Thanks Tower 200
  7. It could kill you! It broke throuh the door at the bottom and knocked out 3 teeth and loosened 2 more! 26 stitches to hold my chin together and oral surgeon to wire my teeth back in. I have to have 5-6 root canals and 1 of the teeth removed. Then major restorative work! Not worth it. Lookout, Jake, the lawyer will soon be coming.
  8. I do not like competion to my products. Thank you guys for helping write up some bogus claims of doors being destroyed and bands braking. Please by my product instead. Similiar to government fun GM saying how Toyota was junk. All the airheads ran, bought junk and now wich they would have boughten Toyota now that the Gov said Toyota was correct, IT WAS DRIVER ERROR.
  9. you can get 80 LBS of extra resistance for free when you enter the code SALLYTOWER at checkout.
  10. Ripe Off. PAID IT OFF IN FULL BUT THEY ARE STILL PULLING MONTHLY PAYMENTS OUT OF MY ACCOUNT!!!!! They told me the order was canceled when I called but it's paid off. don't order this unless you want to lose your money!!!!
  11. I just got the Tower 200 for my son who is in college and wanted to stay in shape. It was very easy to put on the door. I did one set of curls at and then handed it to my son, and on his first one both of the hooks broke off. We were lucky no damage to him or the door, but will be taking it back tomorrow for a new one. And all of you guys and girls are right if you do not have a very good door I can see it breaking right off.
  12. I bought the tower 200 six month ago, and i have lost 90 pounds of body fat as the result of using the t-200 five days aweek
  13. i love the tower 200 it broke my weak door BUT all you need to do is hook it up to a hevy door like ur front door and you good to go it help me get bigger in two weeks
  14. The first tower 200 i bought the resistance bands were all the wrong tension, I had to return it. The replacement fell apart. The plastic hooks on the pulleys snapped right through!! 4 of them snapped causing the bands to snap back from several feet away and smashed the plastic hooks into bits. VERY DANGEROUS! I ONLY HAD MY T200 less than 5 months. IT NEEDS TO BE METAL HOOKING METAL...NOT METAL HOOKED TO PLASTIC. BEWARE!!!
  15. Awesome invention absolutely love it 100% 10/10. highly recommend to everyone.
  16. I love my Tower 200, I have owned it for 6 weeks now, I got mine used for $100.00. It was easy to setup up, and I installed it on the heaviest door in my home and no issues thus far. I use it as a part of my Power 90 strength and resistance routine, in addition to my adjustable dumbbell set and my 15 & 20 lb kettle bell. I especially love the 11 minute routine, which after I use, I follow up with a few compound and isolation moves. It has a sturdy design, it is well manufactured, I have yet to experience any of the issues, that I am seeing posted on numerous websites and it holding up to my 6 feet 4 inch 270lb frame. I also have the extra hand/ankle grips, the straight bar and the 2 pairs of 40 lbs power cords. The results that I am seeing since owning it are drastic compared to using other resistance bands I own. Maybe it is mental, but my gains are starting to turn heads, it keeps me coming back for more. I will use it in the a.m. and in the p.m.
  17. What a piece of Cockaaa I set it up like it stated. Started to do the Lunge and my hair got caugt in the pully... I was stuck for two hours before my Husband got home from the strip club.. He stood in the doorway drunk out of his mind laughing and pointing at me he went and got da broom and began poking me with it.. he is a hambone. well he had to cut the stuck hair out of the pully now i am bauld on one side of my head. ahee who carse he loves me anyway i tink.
  18. I bought this for my fiance after rave reviews from the store salesman. I followed the instructions word for word and had it up on our standard bedroom door in 30 minutes. I tried the 11 minute workout that comes with it and it is an awesome workout. Can't wait to try the other workouts! No snapping bands for us yet!
  19. Just wanted to say a few things on this. I bought this hoping to inprove my mind body and spirit. Well let me tell you, it took me 2 hours to get it set up. afterwords there is an exsersize that you hold the handles and run foreword well I ran foreword alright the bands snapped and i went flying down my stairwell, I had to get 10 stitches in my head. So much for my hopes and dreams of improving my mind body and spirit. I am going to give it 3 stars though because I left it on my door and it kinda looks cool almost like deco art.
  20. Yea right you got a door you got a gym... Well i bought this thing hung it on my solid door and wham bam thank u man the darn thing snapped the door right off the hinges shooting wood and door frame everywhere. I was hit in the head with wood and metal.. needless to say i was disapointed. I didn't give up i placed it on my bedroom door, started to use it and the handle broke loose causing me to punch myself in the face... i had enough back to kmart with this.....
  21. this thing needs a strong door. i tried it on an average bedroom door and it pops the door right open not anywhere close to the 200lb resistance. i think the door needs a good solid deadbolt.
  22. Hey everyone I got the tower 200 4 months ago and I have a sincere review. First off, let me say that without the proper nutrition you will never achieve the results you want. I
  23. We found this equipment to be so easy to set up and understand, not like bigger pulley type equipment. You can easily take it off the door when you are done. You need to make sure the door is closed before you start power pumping! All of us in this family use this equipment it is easy to change the resistance and you really can do so many types of workout every muscle can be activated. Love it.
