Cool. Very cool. What I did was purchase 2 and made it a basic Cable Crossover Machine/Functional Trainer. I put them 8 feet apart in the corner of my basement gym. Wish KZfaq would allow me to post a pic. I was going to add a Pullup bar. But bc of the machines screwed into wall beams. I don't trust that they could handle my weight. I did notice on your pulley tower that the feet are different in the beginning and different stock feet in the end of your video. Anyway. Excellent Job. I originally had my Tower cable hooked up to other pulleys on my 9 1/2 ceiling. To give me the full wider range of motion. I love seeing People show a machines real capacity. Idky Titan Fitness never made added attachments to do what you did. #Brilliant !!! Thank You. I apologize. I wasn't paying attention to you saying the "Bell Tower."

@leonflores2933 11 ай бұрын

It's a bell tower but this diy attachment can definitely work on the Titan. Only sits at the front. Plus the newer version of the Titan is way better than bells. Both pulley rods are like the front. Only bad.. Threaded bolts on pulleys, I'd replace with smooth bolts before the thread, don't know what they're called.

@4mikeyd 9 ай бұрын

May I know what size "U Bolts" you are using for the 2x4 please? I'm also considering drilling a few holes on either my Titan Fitness or Valor Fitness pulley tower. To save space by selling one of my pulley towers. The Valor Fitness weight capacity says maximum 200lbs The Titan Fitness pulley tower says 325lb maximum weight capacity I believe. I think I like the Valor Fitness machine better. Because it has 2 guide rods to hold the weight cradle. The Titan Fitness newer version has a single Square guide rod. I don't know how Titan Fitness machine can hold more than the Valor Fitness machine? When Valor Fitness machine is much more solid. I wish I heard of the "Bells of Steel" pulley tower that you have. I would have purchased the one instead of the ones I have.

I did it to my pulley tower. But it wobbles on the top. Have to either secure it better? Or just buy a Cable Crossover Machine or Functional Trainer Machine. Body solid has a decent single weight stack functional training machine for around $700.00 Glad it worked for you. I used to use 2 pulley Towers for cable crossover. And before that. I had 2 Swivel pulleys on my ceiling around 10ft high. But the weights would sometimes sway. I didn't trust it. In case they smashed into my wall.
