Creative Fitness Door Gym

I ordered this product about a week ago after thinking about it for months and months. I had put off purchasing it for two reasons: 1). the price was more than I was hoping to pay for a pull-up bar, and 2). some of the reviews had made me think that putting it together might be tricky.

I'll discuss the assembly issue first. Some commenters had complained about the length of the bolts being barely adequate for the product. I didn't find this to be a problem at all, though I will concur that the assembly instructions included with the product were almost non-existent. The trick is to use the slightly shorter bolts to connect the handles to the stabilizing bar, and the longer bolts to connect them to the pull-up bar. It took me only about five minutes to get the bar put together.

As far as the price issue, it still irks me that I had to pay $45 for a pull-up bar. But the competitor products I was aware of weren't good options. One product which looks similar got terrible reviews from users, so I didn't consider it very seriously. And the bars that fit into braces screwed into the door frame weren't an option for me. Although I had looked at this and various alternatives for months, only after I ordered it did I notice a look-alike product called the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar which has also gotten excellent reviews. That bar sells for $10 less. The cost of this one, therefore, is the reason for my four stars. Aside from that, I'm quite satisfied with the product and have been enjoying using it.

My husband and I started the P90x work out and needed to get this in a hurry. It fits into a standard door way perfectly and is very stable. Different hand placements allow for diversified workouts. My only gripe is you can't go very wide (just b/c of the way it sits in the door). But, has not disappointed us since we've started using it.

Make sure the door frame you use the gym on is structurally sound and the trim is property installed with the correct depth needed to secure the gym and safely use it; the Door Gym is otherwise an excellent tool. Creative Fitness Door Gym

I was little skeptical of this product when I read the description of how it worked but I purchased it based on the abundance of positive reviews. I must say I am very happy with it. I am doing the P90X video series and this helps me do pull ups and chin ups quickly and easily in my doorway. I am 6' and I weigh 220lbs but this product holds me with ease and it feels sturdy and secure. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a safe easy way to work out at home.

I don't usually work out in my house, but its really convenient to have a simple pull-up bar around for impromptu workouts. The item is sturdy and goes up and down very easily. Its a must have if you like to work out. I'm very glad I finally bought it.
