Description of Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar
Iron Gym is the multi function training bar that combines every exercise you need to build a powerful upper body. Its the ultimate body sculpting and strength building tool that helps shape the upper body and tones your midsection. The durable steel construction holds up to 300 lbs. It is designed to fit residential doorways 24" to 32" wide with doorway trim or molding up to 3 ½ inches wide.Strengthen your back, biceps, and other upper body muscles in the comfort of your living room or dorm with the Iron Gym workout bar. Designed to fit conveniently in most doorway frames or sit on the floor for pushups, dips, and sit-ups, the Iron Gym is an ideal choice for people who want to get fit without buying expensive, space-intensive weight sets. When installed in the doorway, the device lets you perform pull-ups and chin-ups, with three grip positions--narrow, neutral, and wide--for working the inner and outer back. Once you're done with your back workout, you can quickly move the Iron Gym to the floor, where you can perform pushups while facing down, tricep dips while facing the other way, or sit-ups using the Iron Gym for foot stability.
The Iron Gym--whose durable steel frame installs quickly without tools or fasteners--holds up to 300 pounds and is designed to fit residential doorways 24 to 32 inches wide, with doorway trim or molding up to 3.5 inches wide.
Sports reviews of Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar
Customer Review: More than what you expect.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Normally when you think "infomercial product" you see some cheap plastic piece of crap that excels at breaking and malfunctioning- well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this is not one of those! It IS actually easy to assemble. Honestly, if you have passed elementary school and are physically capable of looking at a picture, then there is no way assembling the iron gym will take you more than 3 or 4 minutes. It fits the average door frame just fine, although there is no way to adjust its length. I was hesitant to use it when I put it on my door frame because applying pressure at first I heard a creak in the frame, but it held my weight just fine and has withstood frequent use (I am 175 lb.'s)! It's very sturdy- no squeaking or bending. It has comfortable grips and has well-cushioned end guards to protect the door frame. It is light and simple to store quickly.Customer Review: Pleased with the Iron Gym Workout Bar

The Iron Gym arrived on time, in good shape, and with clear, easy-to-follow instructions (although you don't really need the instructions). It took me about three minutes to assemble it with the wrench that comes in the box. The Iron Gym is solid, well designed, and completely functional. Its different positions allow you to vary your grip to keep your muscles confused, a key to building strength. The Iron Gym doesn't mar the door frame and stays put even without installing the safety clip.
The Iron Gym is a great product at a fair price. (I paid $29.95.) I can't do a strict hanging pull-up, but using the Iron Gym allows me to push off the floor a bit as I build strength. I am working up to be able to perform CrossFit's workouts of the day (WOD) and the Iron Gym has really helped me work on a fundamental CF exercise -- the pull-up.
Customer Review: AWESOME

I saw this product on TV. Since I did not have to make holes in the wall I thought I would give it a try. When I put it up I was unsure it would be able to support my weight even though I only weigh 170lbs. so I hammered 4 finishing nails on the top trim of my door. The first time I tried it I was only able to do 3 pull ups. It has been about 3 weeks and I can do max about 10 pull ups. I do them about 3 to 5 times per day. I feel stronger and I have been told that I look a bit more shaped.
The best thing about this product is that the pain in my lower back has gone away. I don't know if it has to do with my body hanging and streching while I do the pull ups or if it has to do with my muslces getting stronger on my arms, shoulders, and upper back but I am very happy.
I just ordered another one for my brother.
Customer Review: Awesome piece of equipment!

I just received this as a present today (12/25/08) and WOW do I love this! Having a military background, I've always been into physical fitness and truly appreciate the importance of upper body fitness. This very simple (easy to put together), very well constructed device absolutely fits the bill. It allows one to perform all the essential exercises necessary for a complete upper body workout, without requiring any drilling or installation. I was skeptical at first, but I have been using it ALL day today, on a variety of doorways throughout my home, and it holds up exceedingly well, without ANY damage to my home. I love and recommend this to anyone who is serious about getting into shape...it's a great addition to any workout regimen. Just don't forget about your lower body while having fun with this :-)!

Customer Review: Impressed because it does what it is suposed to.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've seen many infomercials in my time and this was the first one that caught my eye. First and mainly because it was exactly what i was looking for: a pull-up bar that dosnt need to be bolted into my doorframe, thus ruining it.
A warning though, just like a previous reviewer suggested, make sure your doorframe has at least 1/2inch thickness around the edges because that is what the Iron Gym hangs on.
Beyond that all i can say is, it does what it is intended to do, pull-ups. It was easy to put together (maybe 15-20min total after I layed out all the parts and followed through with making sure everything was bolted down tight) and was surprisingly sturdy once in place.
I would definatly reccomend this to anyone who is looking for a pullup bar that dosnt require you damage your doorframe in the process.
