A pretty nice pull up bar. It was super easy to assemble and the pipe seems like pretty sturdy material. The unit came in silver and I believe it was advertised in white but I like the color. Two of the plastic end caps were busted inward but I had two extras on the extensions so I'm good. These are for aesthetic or protective purposes and don't affect its functionality. There are also a few hard plastic bushings that seem good enough now but I wonder about in the long term but if they break they are easily replaceable with neoprene washers from your local hardware store. The grip points are fairly thin foam and seem okay but probably will wear with time. The unit itself seems pretty sturdy when installed. I believe that the design of bent pipes and 6 bolted connection points as well as the extra downward pressure on the frame from the extended grip positions contribute to the sturdy feeling of this pull up bar. Installation and removal is simple and is done with one easy movement. Hold unit at a diagonal angle with connection points situated respectively to the door frame on one side and above door on the other and push upward and twist into place, center above the opening and both sides of the frame and pull downward on the unit until it secures into place over and on top of the top frame and onto the side frames. I would err on the side of caution and give it a couple of good pulls and give it a test hang before going all-in. I weigh 175 lbs and I did some Pull-ups, chin-ups and knee raises and this thing felt solid and safe. I also tried band assisted Pull-Ups and it worked great. The wide pull up position, side grip and regular chin up positions extend up and away from the door frame which works nice with my step down to the hall! There are also lower grip positions in the center for chin-ups or Pull-Ups. Six different grip positions in all so it seems pretty versatile. I really like the sideways grip which was one of the determining factors of this purchase. As is I think that the hard plastic contact points would be hard on a painted wood frame. Most frames are beveled or cut where there are cornered edges so I suggest a bit of padding to help protect your frame. I have hard vinyl composite brown wood grain door frames so it seems to be doing fine but I will probably cut up a mouse pad or get some foam from the hardware store and put a bit of cushioning under the contact points. My opening is 36.5" inside dimension and with the extensions it fits perfectly centered on the door frame. This can also be used on the floor for raised push-ups, dips Etc. So far I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it. I went back and forth between this unit and a few that were cheaper and as far as functionality, a seemingly solid build and the extended positioning with multi grip points this just seemed like the best choice for me. I don't have experience with any other door frame mounted pull-up bars but so far I'm really happy with this one. Read more
This pull-up bar is AMAZING!!! I got this for my daughter and me. We've bought pull-up bars in the past but this one feels way sturdier than the others. My door is 23 inches wide and fits perfectly even though it said it fits 24 inches and up. My favorite part about my pull-up bar is that it is so easy to build, use, and there are black cushions for comfort. At first glance, i did think it was a little pricey but for the quality it's definitely worth it. Read more
I was initially concerned after reading some of the negative reviews. But, I am thrilled with this purchase. Assembly was very easy. The unit is much heftier than my previous doorway chin-up bar. The individual tubes are also thicker than my previous bar. The unit fits in my doorway perfectly, though, as you can see from one of the close-up photos, I had to slide one of the resting pads down the tube on the left side to make better contact with the door frame. The unit is a good height and allows me to do my chin-ups and pull-ups with good clearance from the floor. Though, I am 5'9" and, with my reach, I can just grab the bar on my tiptoes. Because the bar is a little thicker than most cheaper doorway chin-up bars, some people with smaller hands may find grasping the bar a little difficult at first. But, I like the thicker bar because it actually helps me develop a stronger grip. I did purchase a couple of sets of SmartGrepp Weightlifting Grips to help me grasp the bar more securely. Bottom line...it works well for me. I believe that it's fairly priced, well-made, positions securely in the doorway and offers many more range of motion exercises than the cheaper alternatives.

Love this pull-up bar! great design and works perfectly on my bathroom door. It’s easy to set up, feels really safe, and I haven’t had any issues with it. Just FYI: it is pretty big, so you’ll need some closet space to store it, but overall it’s a solid, well-built piece of equipment. Read more
I’m 6’1” and my feet aren’t even close to the ground on this thing. Super sturdy, easy to install, and feels like it can handle serious workouts. I use it for pull-ups, dips, push-ups—you name it. Perfect addition to my home gym setup. If you’re tall and looking for a reliable pull-up bar that doesn’t feel sketchy, this is it. Read more
Excellent pull up bar, no screws need to mount, can be placed in any door, at any time. Read more
Seems great but it doesn’t fit my doorway, the depth is within 5” but it seems the trims are making it not fit but it wasn’t clear in the product description Read more
This pull up bar is solid! The metal tubes are a little thicker than usual, which is good and strong but gives a thicker grip, which I’m fine with. Thinner bars squeezes and hurts my hand callus, this bar does not. I’m able to hang on for longer. This bar does not shift side to side over time because it uses those blue plastic contour things in between the bars to keep them in place. The bar is well-built and heavier than other bars I’ve used. I also bought it for the higher height so that my legs are fully straight. I’m 5’7” 140lbs and this bar is perfect for me.but I have no doubt this bar can support way more weight. It is about 83 inches from the floor to the top bar. I recommend! Read more
