The Gornation Premium Pull Up Station claims to replace a pull-up bar, squat rack, dip station, and push-up bar with a single frame for your home gym. That is a big promise, and a bigger investment. Gornation is a German calisthenics equipment brand known for durable, competition-grade gear used by athletes worldwide, and this is one of their most ambitious products in the home gym category. I tested the first prototype for 7 days, covering assembly time, dimensions, stability under load, and whether the 4-in-1 setup actually works in practice. This review tells you whether it is worth the money or not.

First Impressions and Assembly
The station arrives in parts and the instruction manual is clear. Assembly took me about one hour. For something with this many components, that is a reasonable time. Once it is built, it feels solid and stable.
The size fits most home gym spaces, but you need to plan ahead. At 226 cm tall and 117 cm wide, it requires a ceiling height of at least 240 cm. Make sure to measure your space before ordering.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Height | 226 cm |
| Length (base) | 120 cm |
| Width | 117 cm |
| Weight (station only) | 34.9 kg |
| Weight (with dip extension) | 38.7 kg |
| Max load | 250 kg |
| Material | Steel, powder-coated |
| Price (station only) | 349.90 EUR |
| Price (with dip extension) | 399.90 EUR |
Who it is for: Anyone wanting to do pull-ups, squats, and bench press at home without buying multiple pieces of equipment.
Key Takeaway
The 4-in-1 Setup
The base station works as a pull-up bar and squat rack. Adding the dip extension gives you four uses in one frame:
- Pull-up bar for pull-ups, muscle-ups, and straight bar work
- Squat rack for squats, military press, and bench press
- Dip station with adjustable bar distance (44 to 56 cm)
- Low straight bar for statics and push-up variations
The dip extension clips in without tools using a plug-in system. The pull-up bar is 32 mm diameter and 106 cm long. The dip bars are 40 mm diameter and 106 cm long.
For anyone training calisthenics at home, this replaces a separate dip bar, pull-up bar, and squat rack. The space and cost savings are real.
Who it is for: Home gym athletes who want to do calisthenics and barbell work without dedicating separate floor space to each piece of equipment.
Key Takeaway
Stability Testing
The station weighs 34.9 kg on its own. For standard pull-ups, it holds steady without any added weight on the weight pin holders.
For muscle-ups, there is some movement in the bar without added weight. This is noticeable. Adding 50 kg to the weight pins makes a clear difference. The station becomes significantly more stable for explosive movements.
One thing I would add: weight pins on the back end of the station as well. The current setup has weight capacity at the front. Adding weight at the rear would help counterbalance the forward pull during muscle-ups.
Key Takeaway
Which Pull Up Station Should You Buy?
If you are serious about training at home and want one frame that covers pull-ups, dips, squats, and barbell work, the Gornation Pull Up Station is worth the investment. The build quality is high, the 4-in-1 setup works as advertised, and the stability holds up once you load the weight pins.
If you only want a pull-up bar and have no interest in barbell work, this is more than you need. A simpler mounted bar will serve you better.
