Customer Review: The best home pull up bar I've run across.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I think the most important aspect of a home pull up bar is sturdiness and I would qualify this one as HEAVY DUTY. After inserting the brackets into my doorway and slipping the bar in, it basically feels like a permanent fixture in my room. I've been using daily since I got and it shows no signs bending or giving. That being said, I wouldn't use it for acrobatic swinging and if you are over 300 lbs, you might rip the brackets off the wall.
Eventually the foam hand grips will wear away and I will probably just replace it with some grip tape. Also this pull up bar is also supposed to double as a sit up bar. I didn't even install the second set of brackets but it's tough to get the bar out of its holders and I wouldn't want to try to keep switching the bar from up high to down low. It's just doesn't come out that easy so you might want to think twice before buying this for multi-function exercises.
Customer Review: Does the job!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Be prepared to install this thing and have a drill to makes holes so you can insert the hardware...When you do that ..its very easy. Holds securely and nothing is going to bring that rod down from inside the doorway. My boys hang from it like monkeys and we are very happy with it! Comes with two removable hand grips to make it more comfortable to hold onto. Comes with another bracket so you can remove the bar and place it somewhere else. The product suggest putting it at the base of the doorway for crunches etc..but we didnt do that for fear that one day we would forget it was there and kill ourselves tripping over it. So we just use it for chin ups, etc. on the upper portion of the doorway.Customer Review: Altus 3-in-1 Pull up bar review
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I just received this bar today and it is great. For what it is, a door jam mounted pull up bar (versus other bars that hang from your door trim), its the best I've seen. Its very thick steel tubing, unlike what other reviews have stated, it comes with quality neoprene grips with velcro for easy moving or replacing. Though the mounting can be a bit effort full (5 screws per mounting bracket), it those 5 screws that make this bar as strong and quality as it is. Other bars including the perfect pull up ($100 bar) use only 2-3 screws per bracket. The screws included are very high quality screws. The bar can fit a very very wide or very slim door way.
I give this bar a 5 out of 5.
Customer Review: Solid
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This pull-up bar is extremely solid. It is fairly easy to install, has fully adjustable velcro hand grips, and hexagonal ends to prevent the bar turning in the brackets. It supports my weight of 195 pounds with ease.
The pull-up is one of the best exercises you can do as it works many muscle groups at once: shoulders, back, biceps, forearms, and abs. This bar allows you to safely do this exercise at home for a very reasonable price.
Customer Review: drill out the rivets!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The bar is great - doesn't rotate, but I need to take it out of the doorway after each use.
It took just a few minutes to drill out the rivets from the mounting bracket so that the bar can easily be removed.
The bar is used only for chin-ups. You'd need to leave in the rivets if you were doing exercises that put any upward force on the bar.
