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: Sturdy and fits perfectly
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I think this thing is awesome, and the people who wrote bad reviews are just a few unfortunate exceptions and deserve their money back. I weigh 185 lbs, and when I pull up it doesn't even budge slightly. My doorframe is 6 in. wide at the top and the doorway opening itself is 29 in. It fit perfectly with these dimensions, but if any of the doorway's dimensions were just a few inches bigger, it would not have fit, so measure your doorway. If your measurements are good, buy this thing. I read some comments about people being afraid of it falling down, and like I said, it doesn't come even remotely close to budging. It doesn't move a single millimeter on my doorway. I bet those people either got a defective one, in which case they deserve a refund and a new one, or their doorway was too big or small. I like this thing so much I'm going to buy one for my brother right away.
P.S. the long, flat box came with 1 long bar, 2 L shaped handle bars, a short padded bar, 4 screws/4nuts/4washers and a small wrench. Assembly took me 5 minutes.
Customer Review: Wonder Product!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Did a bunch of research before I settled on this product. This one seem to be the strongest based on the fact that the main bar was one piece where others are put together at the center with a few screws. Instructions for product do stink based on what all the reviews say but a few actually describe best how to put it together so when the box came in I opened up the Amazon reviews and followed someone's instructions. Was actually pretty easy in the end to put together. After I put it up the first time I thought it was not stable but quickly realized that you have to have the flat jam part flush against the trim before you start. Once in place it is strong and very stable!! I have no fear using it and it has been several weeks of usage and still works great. I go from pull-ups to push-ups to sit-ups all using the same piece of equipment and when I am done I just place it out of the way in the closet. Great product for the money!!!!!!!Customer Review: Good quality exercise accessory
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It is based on a very simple concept and easily transforms most of the doorways in your home into a pull-up/sit-up support structure. The product is good quality and assembly was a piece of cake. I think more attention needs to be paid on the doorframe and the impact of your weight on the frame, rather than the product itself. I consider the quality of construction in my house to be more than average and yet I can hear a creak at times when pulling up my own weight (just 130 pounds). The bar allows up to 300 pounds, so take necessary precaution to make sure your doorframes can support that load. Another reviewer said that the padding on the product left dark marks on the door frame. It has not happened to me, but is very much possible, so you may want to "glove" that portion with a cloth or tape if necessary. I highly recommend this product, particularly if you love doing pull/sit-ups in the comfort of your own home!Customer Review: Best Purchase
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I wanted to buy a pull up bar to help me train for the my school's Nordic ski team. My requirements were a bar that was not permanent (nothing that would screw into my door frame), wouldn't mar my door frame, and was sturdy. After carefully searching through all of the pull up bar reviews on amazon, I decided on this one. This has been the best purchase I have made and I couldn't be more pleased. This bar is sturdy, has not made a mark on my wall, and is extremely easy and quick to put up and take down (I have it in my room's doorway). It was constructed well, and was easy to put together after reading previous reviews on how to do it.
As a plus, this bar works as a sit-up spotter, which is nice since I do crunches before school when no one else is up. I can also do below 90 degree pushups with the door gym, which is a nice addition to my workouts. I would definitely recommend this pull up bar.
Customer Review: The difference between this and the Iron Gym
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I first ordered the Creative Fitness Door Gym, then decided that the Iron Gym looked the same and was $10 less, so I tried to cancel the Door Gym and ordered the Iron Gym. Turns out you often can't cancel after ordering, so I ended up getting them both. I had intended to keep the Iron Gym and send this one back, but after looking at the two, I changed my mind and did the reverse.
The two products are essentially the same, but there is one difference that to me makes the Door Gym worth the additional cost: the crossbar is a single piece. On the Iron Gym, the crossbar comes in two pieces that slip together. While both products are supposed to hold 300 lb, if you're at all mechanically inclined, you know that setups like this eventually always weaken or loosen at the joint. If I'm hanging on it, I don't want to take a chance with that.
