Sports reviews of GoFit Chin-Up Bar
Customer Review: GoFit Chin-Up Bar Works Well
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
So simple a teenager can put it up! No, really, the design of the chin-up bar is wonderfully simple. The mounting brackets are thick gauge; three screws per side hold the brackets firmly to the door frame. The brackets are deep enough that if the bar loosens during use (not likely), you'd notice the rattle long before any danger of it slipping from the brackets.Customer Review: Great product

I'm currently using this bar without the permanent mounting brackets. Although its suggested not too, I have had no slips so far. I got it at a great price and its a wonderful product.Customer Review: Can't beat the price!

After reading all the positive comments about the Go-Fit chin up bar, I decided to try it out. I placed the order and it came not even two days later. =)
I was a little worried about the issue with the brackets coming loose and not being of the best quality, but as soon as I opened the package it was quite clear that Go-Fit had upgraded their brackets section). The brackets are very sturdy and also feature a few locking bits attached. But their is a slight problem, I tried to remove the bar from the brackets and it's seemingly impossible to do. I tried every which way and the bar would not come free. This could be a problem for some people who need to remove it after use.
Other than that, the product is great! It's very sturdy and is made of very durable materials. It comes with neoprene grips that both prevent slipping from the bar as well as absorbing the sweat accumulated on your palms.
Overall, this is a great product for anyone who wants a simple yet effective tool to add to your workout at home. And of course, you can't beat the price!
Customer Review: Good concept, but not ideal in practice.

These fit between the door jambs pull up bars are a good concept for an economical way to get pull ups in your home exercise routine. However I find the conditions just too cramped to enjoy doing pull ups. It is much more fun and think easier to do pull ups if you are hanging with your feet off the ground and not worried your going to bang your head on a door jam. Unless you are very short (or your doors are very high) these bars are too low and you have to bend your knees to do the pull ups. Personally I don't like that as much and I find myself wishing I had bought a self standing pull up station.Customer Review: Great product

So far this bar has been great. It is very sturdy and comfortable to grip. You really do need a very solid doorway to drive the screws into, but if you're careful to set it up properly, you shouldn't have any trouble. One disadvantage is that the bar can untwist during using it, so you simply have to make sure it is securely twisted into place every so often. Overall, one of the best chin-up bars on the market.
