JFIT Deluxe Multi Exercise Doorway Pull-Up Bar with Comfort Grips, 40-Inch

I installed this vertically in the opening up to the bed in my truck camper. Makes a perfect and very sturdy grab bar to help safely pull up into the overhead sleeping g compartment and steadies me when exiting too. Verrrry sturdy and easiest install ever!

You have to screw the metal cups into your door frame, but that really isn’t very hard. Especially if you have a level and a drill. Use some tape on the back of the cups to stick them to the frame so you can temporarily position them. Install the bar and check that it’s level and that your hands have room above the bar. Remove the bar and screw in the screws with the tape still behind the cups if you aren’t concerned about the adhesive on your frame. If you are concerned, use a pencil to mark the cup locations. The bar is heavy and sturdy. The logo on the hand cushions came off immediately, but who cares? The hand cushions wrap around and have a seam which is fastened with Velcro. This wasn’t what I was expecting, especially since the seam is quite large, but it isn’t difficult to position the cushions so the seam isn’t in your way. And the removable function of the cushions is necessary because they have a non slip coating on the inside - meaning they can only be repositioned by peeling off the Velcro and redoing it. I think the very good non slip feature is worth a large seam. The build quality seems really good which is the most important thing in my opinion. I weigh 170 lb.

Installing the pull-up bar was quick and easy, I really like the mounting cups which prevent the bar from slipping down at all. I keep mine up most of the time but occasionally take it down if it becomes an obstruction, and both putting it in the cups and taking it out of the cups is fast and simple. So far I haven't had it try to twist loose like some reviews have stated, I don't know if that's a difference in form or just specific units. My main complaint is that the foam padding is thick and uneven due to the overlap. A small section is over half an inch thick that then drops off to a quarter inch, and I can't find a comfortable spot for that to fit in my hands. I tried doing pullups on the bare bar, and despite the slick surface, I found them much easier to do without the padding because my grip was more consistent. Overall a good bar and I was happy that it let me continue my workouts. I recommend buying some friction tape along with this bar and just skipping the padded grips altogether.

This bar is a pretty sweet deal. I use to have one of these bars when I was younger. Now, at the age of 33 and at a desk job for the past two years, I recommend one of these. I did order one of the fancy pullup bars with all sorts of various grips, and despite my door frame meeting the specifications of this bar, the bar did not fit. The j/fit Doorway Pull-Up Bar can quite literally fit any door and is easy to install with a level and measuring tape. My only concern, and just for safety reasons, I didn't use the screws provided with the bar. It's important to know the construction of the door your hanging the bar on. My house is old and is build with plaster and lathe. The doorway where I put the bar has a good 1/2" of plaster, so the provided screws would not have been sufficient. Even if the door jam had wood right from the get-go, the screws provided could be beefed up a little. It's unlikely the bar would slip between the grip of the screws and the pressure the bar provides once it's tightened, but I'd rather play the safe card here. For an extra buck for six screws, I'd rather feel safe even if the longer screws provide nothing in addition. But, my situation is unique insofar as my door jam has plaster as the first material and not wood like most doors. Otherwise, save yourself the $50.00 on some of these ridiculous pullup bars, they all do the same thing, the others are just over complicated, unnecessary, and not worth the value they provide. This j/fit Deluxe Doorway Pull-Up Bar is easy to install, provides the same function as other pullup equipment for 1/2 the cost, and can literally fit "any" doorway as long as the doorway is within the measurements as provided in this products description. Thanks for a great American made product!

There’s a small entryway when you first walk in my bedroom. I wanted to hang a pull up bar there so I can work out in private. The specific location I wanted to install it didn’t have studs so I had to get 2 1x6 boards, cut them into squares and use 4 toggle bolts on each board to attach it directly to drywall. It’s extremely sturdy. Side note: don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t hang heavy things on pure drywall. I’ve done it for numerous things in my house. You just need to know how to disperse the weight. Anyway, I was a bit skeptical at first with how small the screws were for the mounting brackets but they held up very well after screwing them into the wooden boards. I’m not a light person and the bar holds my weight just fine. And it’s definitely more secure than the ones that use tension to keep it secure. Those pull up bars are prone to slipping off the wall so I would avoid those. Only two cons I can think of is, 1st, you have to adjust the bar so that it gets really jammed into the mounting brackets or else the bar will twist when you try to hang or do anything with it. 2nd, this is no big deal but I’m just putting it out there for anyone who cares. The “JFit” logo on the grip cushions is almost completely worn away after only hanging from it 5 times. All in all, a very good, sturdy product. The price is in the “cheap” territory so I thought the quality would reflect it but I would easily buy it for 10 or 15 dollars more.

Great. Works as expected/ advertised.

This bar is easy to setup, and comes with fittings for both chin ups and pull ups. Please note that you won't be able to use this product without screwing the fittings into the door frame. The screws are small, but you will need a drill to put them in. My only complaint is the grips are velcro straps, so, if they aren't positioned well, they can hurt your hands. With that said, the grips are soft and pretty good quality, so if they are positioned correctly, are very nice to use. It supports me very easily, and I am a 75 kilo male. Great buy for the money. TLDR; Pros - Inexpensive Good quality Built to last Cons- Grips can be finicky Will have to drill holes into your door frame.

La barra en sí es de excelente calidad, te das cuenta en cuanto la agarras porque es muy pesada. La instalación es rapidísima si tienes lo necesario a la mano. La instalé en pared de concreto con 1 metro de apertura. Temía que al empezar a usarla se doblara un poco, pero es muy sólida y segura siempre y cuando se instale correctamente. El único pero te le encuentro son los tornillos que trae para ser instalada, son muy pequeños, así que tuve que usar unos mucho más largos, lo cual recomiendo para evitar accidentes.

La barra es de buena calidad, se ve fuerte, da la sensación de confianza al colgarse, sin embargo, por mi peso (102kgs) y mi estatura 1.87 no confío lo suficiente para dejar todo mi peso colgando; por lo que no la he utilizado al 100% para evitar cualquier chingadazo innecesario. para personas de menor peso y estatura sí lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Very easy installation, i twisted it into my door frame without the metal cap extra supports and it worked great, but i did screw in the metal caps after just for extra peace of mind and safety. Seems like its made very well and the grips can be moved around. Going to be too busy to go to the gym regularly in a few weeks so this will be very helpful so i can use this as part of my workout at home
