Pull-Up Bar - Total Upper Body Workout Bar for Doorway, Adjustable Width Locking, No Screws Portable Door Frame Horizontal Chin-up Bar, Fitness Exercise

Just what I needed. And the price that I paid on Amazon was actually more affordable than Walmart and a couple of dollars less than it is now. So I guess I ordered mine at the right time, a time where Amazon was feeling a little generous I guess. I've only had this item for like 40 mins, and I had a good feeling about it from the start. Assembly was pretty simple(took about 10-12 mins), and all parts were there except for the ab straps which I don't really need anyway; because with this I can easily improvise. It fits nicely above the closet doorway which is about 2.5 ft wide or about 2ft. 7in., and it holds my weight very well; I'm 180. I still have yet to try it out on a wider door frame, but I'm sure that it will fit above the other doors as well. A very nice tool for fitness enthusiasts and a great way to build strength and muscle when the dumb bell set just isn't enough anymore. A very nice and affordable gift for someone who likes to workout a lot. I've been wanting a chin up bar for a long time, and now I finally have one and I love it. It's so easy to use, another plus. Iron Gym is my new best friend. Highly recommended. Money well spent, what more can I say?***UPDATE***After trying this product on 3 different doorways, it works on all 3 and each are different widths. However, I did notice how it will leave small indentations in the side molding of the door frame and sometimes black scuff marks on the paint. The foam grips and padding seem like they might last for a couple of months, but I do intend to improvise when they wear out. I'm about to place a thin piece of padding in between the frame of the door to prevent more serious damage, because I do believe with heavy usage the Iron Gym will do further and more noticeable damage to the door frame. Thinking about my weight, the natural effects of wear and tear and my passion for working out; I'm going to have to take certain measures to ensure that I do not cause serious structural damage to the door frame. This will probably do damage even quicker with heavier people, so keep an eye on the condition of your door frame after every workout. Other than that, it's still a great product that I intend to use every day.

I use the Iron Gym bar to hang to improve a shoulder impingement. Really clever design. Easy to install, no drilling needed & very sturdy. Saw that some reviews mentioned the possibility of damaging the door frame, so I put folded cloth under the bearing points which works great. Use padded gloves to protect my hands, which also helps protect the padding on the bar. This is a great product. Keep in mind that if used for hanging, the bar may not be high enough to allow full body weight and only partial weight hanging.

As someone who is just getting back into working out, this is the perfect piece of equipment to add to my "home gym". The build quality feels solid, I am 170 lbs and normal use on this (pull ups, leg raises, dead hangs) feels secure and stable throughout my workout.I had some doubts about this style of pull up bar, but consider me impressed. For the price I don't think there is a better pull up bar you could get.

Definitely listen to the person that said to measure the doorframe, but you will want to measure the OUTSIDE of the frame as well. If I attempt to use this in a couple of rooms in my semi-narrow hallway, it is too wide. My hallway is somewhat narrow (the house was built in '60's) and goes just outside a 2" doorframe. Fortunately, I have other places to use it where it fits fine.Assembly wasn't too difficult for me since I'm good at figuring things like that out, but there are no real formal directions for assembly. Only a diagram that tells you to assemble according to the diagram. I could easily see someone having a little difficulty if do-it-yourself isn't your forte.It does feel pretty secure and sturdy. However, doing abdominal pull ups, you should spring for the arm devices you can send away for, for an additional $8 S&H. Though they are advertised as "free", whatever. Without them, it is pretty hard on your hands to do that exercise and most women can probably forget it unless you buy them or find something else to use as the same function.A word of fitness caution: you may find that you actually need some work prior to doing chin ups. This has absolutely nothing to do with the manufacture or function of this item. It functions as promised, but if you have no other way to test if you even CAN do everything you are supposed to with this, there is a good chance you can't and while it can be used for sit-ups or push ups as promised, I'll bet you can do those without this equipment. So in short, it isn't for everyone and unless you have other work out methods, chances are this isn't worth the expenditure and will end up collecting dust. If you already know your limitations, work out regularly and are simply looking for an inexpensive, convenient way to bring some bits of the gym home with you, go for it. Well worth it in that case. If you are buying because you convinced yourself that once you buy this, all those pounds will disappear you'll be "ripped" per the advertising, do the simple inexpensive things at home or join a gym first to see what works for you and if you would even use it.I work out regularly with a treadmill and a bow flex and I think this is probably going to collect more dust than it is worth for me. My arms are not so large (nor do I want them to be) as to really be capable of doing chin ups, or at least not for a long while yet. It isn't worth the expense strictly for the push ups and sit ups, and I have to buy the extras to do pull ups.
