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! Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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! Read more

Sturdy! We had to screw it in because it fell once, which was kindof dangerous. Screwed in, it is perfect. Eventually the hand pads wore down and will need replacing, but that means we're using it alot! My husband loves it and he's a big guy. Read more

I wanted to set up a pull up bar in a doorway at work and needed one that would work in a 38 inch doorway. This one was reasonable priced and said it would work in up to 40 inch doorways so I decided to give it a shot. The screws that come with it are short (less than 1 inch I think), so I used longer screws to hold the end caps. Each cap is held by 3 screws. I drilled pilot holes first and then tightened the screws. The bar seems very sturdy and did not bend while doing pull ups. I weight about 170 pounds and am confident that it's going to stay in place. Now by having the pull up bar set up, I'm reminded to do a few pull up each day. Also it's easy to take down the bar if need be. The end caps though are now a permanent part of that doorway :) Read more

Easy to install and very sturdy. Read more

The JFIT Deluxe Multi Exercise Doorway Pull-Up Bar (40-Inch) arrived on time, but it appeared to be used. The screws were in a sandwich-sized ziplock bag and had drywall powder on them, which made it look like the item had already been installed before. I did go ahead and install it because I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of returning it, but I was disappointed to receive what seemed like a used product after paying full price. I would have expected better quality control and would appreciate a discount or partial refund. Read more
