Real Nice and Secure Chin-up Bar,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HealthCare Chin-Up Bar (Health and Beauty)
I bought this bar because I've been doing P90X (the best home fitness program on the market). Chin-ups/Pull-ups are an indespensible part of the program. While I also have a nice Phoenix Bench with a great lat tower, I was interested in trying to work with my body weight as it seems to be a different synergistic movement than pulldowns.
I was torn between getting a Power Tower (which is REALLY nice but quite big) or something smaller that could be stored away in a closet. I opted to try this as a less expensive and less space imposing option and I've been REALLY happy with it so far. It was highly recommended to me by others using the P90X system. I was concerned that at 6 ft 2 inches that it would be too low for me to use but I'm having no trouble at all. What is nice about the Door Gym (which is what this product actually is, an authentic door gym, it says it right on it), is that rather than being suspended against the sides of the door frame, the bulk of the weight is against the front of the door frame. This allows it to feel really secure. Anyway, so far, after using it for several weeks I am very happy with my purchase and I hope to get many years of use out of it. This particular bar listed as the Health Care Chin-up bar has the best quality/price I could find anywhere. I don't know if it will work for all door frames, and you need to make sure you have moulding above the door to help brace the bar (though it doesn't take hardly any of the weight from what I can see, it appears to just stabilize it) Highly recommended!

Excellent Chin-up/Pull-up Bar!!!,
By Kelly "Kelly" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HealthCare Chin-Up Bar (Health and Beauty)
I love this bar. I was looking for a bar to use that wouldn't damage my door frame and that can be taken down and put up very easily without having to screw it into the door frame. You do have to put it together using screws (on the bar itself), but nothing screws into your molding or doorframe. The only thing I suggest is putting some sort of material or papertowel or something where it lies against the molding so as not to indent it there. I'm very happy w/ my purchase and it came quickly w/ free shipping.

It was easy enough,
This review is from: HealthCare Chin-Up Bar (Health and Beauty)
The directions were merely a diagram without step by step instructions, but it was easy enough to follow. If you trust the physics, this pull-up bar does the trick! What's great is how you can put it away (like when you've got people coming over). I wrap a thin hand towel over the door brace so it doesn't mark up the wall above the door. I'm also taking advantage of the multiple grips this bar allows you to do, so you can mix it up. I'm working my back and my arms and it feels great!
