Description of Creative Fitness Door Gym
The Door Gym stands head and shoulders above the competition. This versatile device can be set up in seconds on almost any door frame and lets you work out in the convenience of your own home or office. It latches on without screws, bolts or fasteners, so you won't leave holes in your door trim. A cantilever design uses your own body weight (up to 300 lbs.) to keep it in place. Door Gym is more than a simple pull-up, chin-up bar. It also has two protruding close-grip handles that let you work out with your palms facing each other, a good position for isolating the muscles in the center of your back that control posture. In addition, you can use Door Gym on the ground as a push-up bar and a sit-up spotter.Sports reviews of Creative Fitness Door Gym
Customer Review: Not for thick doors
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Not a bad item for the price. It isn't thick enough to fit flush on any door frame in my house. I live in an older home and my doorways are about seven inches thick from one side to the other. It works, but it is at a bit of an angle. If the curved arm was adjustable it would be better.
For the price you can't go wrong. The assembly directions aren't the best, but if you can't figure it out, there might be something wrong with you.
It holds my weight (about 180 lbs) with no problem.
I would recommend for a cost effective solution for a pull up bar.
Would recommend.
Customer Review: Decent chin-up bar, but lacks a wide grip
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
The Creative Fitness Door Gym is built well and works as intended. However, it does not have any wide grips. An attachment is available that adds a wide grip, but it is just a bar that rests on top of the original product...and it costs $20! In my view, there is really no reason to buy this product instead of a competitor's. There are other bars that are less expensive and provide narrow, neutral and wide grips. (Like the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar.) I wish I had purchased one of those instead.Customer Review: depends on door molding
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I have had this item for a few years and it worked great in the last house I lived in...even my roommates love doing a few pull ups as they walked into our laundry room. But I moved recently into a new contemporary condo with thicker door molding and the bar doesn't fit anymore. Make sure you have the standard thinner door molding like shown in the pictures. It is too bad because I really did enjoy random pull-up time for a few minutes every day. Now it is in my storage unit.
Customer Review: Quality item / average design
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
The bar works as described and is a quality item.
The problem comes when I want to vary my grip width, to do wide grip pullups. The bar does not have foam grips in that location (between the protruding handles and the end). I have to use weight lifting gloves to get any kind of grip in that location.
Customer Review: Door Gym Didn't Work For Me
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
Before ordering the Door Gym I confirmed the measurements of my doorway and trim met the requirements, which it did. The Door Gym construction was good, felt fairly sturdy, and the assembly was quick and simple. Although the Door Gym fit my doorway it would not stay in place and would keep sliding down the trim. The Door Gym needs some rubber pads on each side of the support bar to press against the trim when the user's weight is applied to prevent downward slippage. The included chinsey "safety hook" is more of a joke then a safety feature. It would most certainly rip out overhead doorway trim when the bar slips downward. I am a solid 190 lbs which is well in the support range for the Door Gym. My door trim is hard maple and I noticed a slight crunching sound while pressure was being gradually applied to the Door Gym during my attempt to hang from the bar. That was enough to convince me to stop using the Door Gym because I did not want to crack my trim or my dry wall. I returned the Door Gym and found an insane deal on the Proform Fusion 1.5 Power Tower
for 135.99 (total) which is an absolutely awesome product. The Proform Tower is construction of SUPER STURDY steel, doesn't flex and small enough to fit in a corner. I figured if I'm going to be serious about pull-ups I may as well buy good equipment.
