The Volksgym Assisted Chin/Dip S6-08 is an S6 Professional-grade assisted pull-up and dip station with a 100 Kg counterweight stack. At 230 Kg net weight (247 Kg gross) and a 1455 x 1275 x 1535 mm footprint, the S6-08 is a serious strength machine that lets users perform chin-ups and dips with adjustable assistance — from near-bodyweight support for beginners to minimal assistance for advanced lifters working toward unassisted reps. The counterweight system works in reverse: selecting more weight provides more assistance, making the exercise easier.

S6-08 vs C-08 — Which Assisted Chin/Dip Machine?

Who Should Buy the S6-08

• Personal training studios where clients cannot yet perform unassisted chin-ups or dips — the 100 Kg counterweight stack provides enough assistance to support even heavy users; trainers can progressively reduce assistance as clients get stronger
• Premium home gym owners investing in long-term progression — the S6-08 takes you from fully assisted chin-ups to nearly unassisted reps without needing a separate pull-up bar and resistance bands
• Facilities that serve a wide range of user fitness levels — the 100 Kg stack can assist anyone from a 60 Kg beginner who needs most of their bodyweight supported to a 100+ Kg advanced lifter who wants just 10 Kg of help to squeeze out extra reps

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the assisted chin/dip machine work?

Unlike standard strength machines where selecting more weight makes the exercise harder, the assisted chin/dip works in reverse. The weight stack provides counterbalance to your bodyweight. Selecting 50 Kg on the stack means 50 Kg of assistance — if you weigh 80 Kg, you effectively only lift 30 Kg. As you get stronger, reduce the selected weight to decrease assistance.

Why is the S6-08 more expensive than the C-08?

The S6-08 (AED 11,299) is Volksgym's S6 Professional series — the 230 Kg net weight makes it the heaviest assisted chin/dip in the range, providing exceptional stability for users of all sizes. The C-08 (AED 8,999) uses a 50 x 100 mm shroud frame design at a lower price point. Choose the S6-08 for maximum build quality and stability; choose the C-08 for excellent commercial performance at a lower investment.

Can I do unassisted chin-ups and dips on the S6-08?

Yes. Simply select the minimum weight on the stack (or step off the knee platform) and use the chin-up bar and dip handles without assistance. The S6-08 functions as both an assisted machine and a standard chin/dip station.

What is the difference between a chin-up and a pull-up on this machine?

Both use the overhead bar. A chin-up uses an underhand (supinated) grip and emphasises the biceps. A pull-up uses an overhand (pronated) grip and emphasises the lats and upper back. The S6-08 bar accommodates both grip positions.
