Quick facts about the product what are you looking to know and want to know when you read the review. 1. It went together quickly and had a few extra parts rubber footing. Comes with the pipes a bag of bolts and instructions. 2. You can adjust this in several ways we have eyes adjusted not so far out and we using sandbags just to currently, when we start to get a little bit better will widen the rack and get four sandbags. 3. Stability is good has to be adjusted Front and back, The machine is a little sloppy left to right. But it’s not meant to be used left and right pulling it. Using it front to back with sandbags is really good without the sandbags is also really good but if you really pull on the bar it might hop a little without the sandbags. Overall for a product at folds up and is portable this is a really good deal. 4. Sturdiness instability is really good for this movable portable product. You can’t compare it to full gymnastics bar that is tied down to the floor this one is movable and it does move a little bit but overall is very sturdy and does the job very well. 5. Putting it together was fast everything works good and if anything goes wrong we will update with you later. One note is the top pole was a little off not bad but it is a few centimeters very few pieces of paper off on the inner top bolts. It’s just the support bolts that stop the inner pole from moving too far that’s the pole that’s loose not the outer pole that’s bolted down. Hope the review helps others in judging if they want to buy this or not, we would recommend it it’s a good product and thanks to the hats off to the guy that made it. Read more
Okay, so this thing is expensive. I know, but it is most definitely worth it. I researched this and a handful of other pull up bars and this is something I'm surprised the calisthenics community doesn't talk more about. It is in fact easy to assemble. Although, due to the size and shape, having someone give you a hand makes it easier. The instructions are very clear and the manufacturer has videos on YouTube, showing how to construct this magical piece of equipment. It is very adjustable. If you are tall, like myself, this is wonderful and can be made so that your toes do not touch the ground. Most door frame bars and free standing bars never seem to be quite the right height, or are a bit flimsy. This build is very sturdy and be reduced in size as well to perform bar rows and dips. I also use rings in my training and herein lies a bit of a issue. Unless you are doing almost completely horizontal rows, the pull on the rings will tip over. This is only something I have encountered doing ring rows at a high angle. This is easily fixed by weighing down one or both floor bars. Otherwise no tipping over or wobble. My only other caveat would be maybe find some locking pins to use on the side support bars, instead of the bolts that come with the bar. It would just make it a little easier and quicker than having to finger loosen the nut. But definitely not that big of a concern. Despite the very few small critiques, I think this bar is near perfect. Read more
I have a very small apartment and flimsy door frames, wanted to do chin-ups at home. Power Towers took up a significant chunk of space. Stumbled upon this, thought I'd give it a shot. Was skeptical as this wasn't from a gym equipment company, but rather a person who seems to manufacture only this one thing. It exceeded expectations. Well designed, solid build quality, exceptional stability. Not only can I do chin-ups, it's stable enough to do all sorts of ring work on, and feels 100% stable for my 210lbs 6'3 self. Has padded handles, and also hooks you can use for things like resistance bands. (Rings in the picture are my own) Folds up flat against the wall. Setting it up is a matter of adjusting 4 screws (I use a ratchet, so it takes about 2 minutes). This seems to be a case of "person who wants a product for themselves, so they built it" on the part of the inventor, and it ticks all the boxes of height, stability, and minimal use of space when not in use. Assembly is a bit tricky to get everything to line up, but this is due to the geometry of lining up 4 independent poles. The parts themselves all lined up perfectly once I could wrap my head around how to put it together. Height adjustment is difficult, so I just picked one that worked pretty well and stuck with that. Difficulty of adjustment, and needing to use a wrench to set up / put away are my only gripes. Otherwise 100% would recommend, would buy again, have not found anything else even remotely as useful. I would set it higher, but it already maxes out my apartment's 9' ceilings on the second-highest setting. Read more
I live this bar system! It is great for most hanging exercise use. I would have given it 5 stars but it is not usable if you are going to be changing hand positions or anything that requires super solid construction with zero wiggle. But for most hanging and basic pull up training at a higher height. This is a great product, considering you can fold it up against the wall. I love it for most of what I need, but still have to go to gym for the more active had position alternation training. It would possibly be good for that of you could clamp it to the a wall or maybe with some added bars clamped to the top bar, and clamp those to the ceiling or beam in garage, for added stability to prevent side to side rock. All in all a good product, for what it is, and I would recommend it minus the uses mentioned above. If it had less side to side rock, I would give it 5 stars. Read more
This is a sturdy piece of exercise equipment for use as a hang bar and pull up bar. At 72, I don’t do the gymnastic type moves, so I will not comment on that. I am 188cm and 84kg, and the KT bar was very stable when I used it. Assembly is easy for one person, but a second set of hands would make the assembly quicker. Read more
