A design that inspires confidence!
First off, quickly dispatched, arrived as expected with minimal, but sufficient, packaging!On the day it arrived I received an email from the seller that include PDF's installation and usage instructions and a very helpful ebook of tips and techniques.The bar itself is folded flat (makes it easy to store away), which with a little bit of effort can be unfolded to it's full size (No tools required). Installation on to the door frame was simple, with the top mounting brackets seated on top of the frame on opposite side, and the side mounting brackets with adjustable sliders sitting comfortably on my door frame. The bar has a very solid feel to it as you grab the pull up bar and doesn't wobble or flex when you do a controlled pull/chin up. The whole thing feels very secure, in fact my wife has started to use it with a pull up band, absolutely loves it! For me the only downside is my door height, me being 6 foot, the standard British doorframe is not high enough for me to have a full extension of my arms when standing, but with a bit of adaptation i've found that i can incorporate some great core exercises at the same time!All-in-all a great bit of kit at a reasonable price, I would highly recommend!

Worth the extra money
I’ve had this two weeks. It only takes three seconds to put up, put down and fold away flat. It’s very sturdy and feels secure while you using it. There are no marks on the door frame because the rubber pads and soft plastic do their job. The way it is designed spreads the weight across two separate parts of the doorframe, reducing the strain. It’s an expensive piece of kit compared to some of the other pull up bars for sale but for me it’s worth the extra. With a dining table chair for assistance my eight year old also thinks it’s good. No faff, no marks, no broken door frame or plaster, no clutter, massive arms (well, not yet but we’ll get there).

Seriously great bit of kit!
This is hands-down the best bit of home exercise equipment I've bought. I was concerned that with a bar like this I would end up in a pile on the floor with bits of door frame around me. But this is honestly SO secure. It doesn't even flinch when I'm swinging my dead weight from it.I love that I can put it up and take it down so easily, and love the folding supports so I can tuck it right out of the way when not in use. Those supports also make it great as a push-up/dip bar.The door protection is so simple, but brilliantly effective. It has left absolutely zero marks on my door frame.If you're looking for a chin-up bar, this is 100% worth the money.

Great quality, easy to set up and take down folds flat but expensive!!
Dropped a star for price, got mine for £80 I believe but think it’s worth about £50. But I needed something for lockdown, I’m 6 foot 83 and it carries me fine it is well made, sturdy and very easy and quick to set up and take down, support arms on spring loaded swivel which is nice and stiff. Folds away flat I store it behind my living room door.

Ideal for the heavier user !!!
Very surprised when I opened the box as to how heavy duty it was.Even more surprised when I fitted it and it easily took my weight.The pictures don't really do it justice at all. And as with a lot of things bought on line, in the back of my head I was expecting some cheap argos type thing.I've tried other peoples cheap 'argos' type ones before and although they did take my weight (I was a bit lighter than I am now) I wouldnt trust them for any period of time.I really wasn't worried about the soft grips. I belong to a power lifting gym and compete in arm wrestling so am used to getting calluses. If my calluses get too bad I just wear work gloves. Plus, I know the soft grips wont last forever anyway. Still, it's a nice addition.The main thing for me was finding a bar strong enough for home use. I'm 107kg at the moment (just shy of 17 stone) and it takes my weight no problem.Its rated to 130kg (a little over 20 stone) and although I wouldn't fancy testing that without a soft landing just in case, i will be trying it with an extra 10kg.Time will tell obviously, but as long as your pull ups and chin ups are slow and with good form with little jerking, I honestly cant see there being a problem.I also use it for static holds and dead hangs just to stretch out the back and shoulders which it's great for.Overall, money extremely well spent!! I see no reason why it shouldnt last even using it everyday... Great thing is, it means i don't have to go to the gym or the park just to do pull ups anymore, which ultimately means i can use my time at the gym more efficiently by using it for max holds and working on pull ups with more jerking type movements... Ideal !!! 💪💪

Great Pull-up bar
I, like lots of people, purchased this to help me keep some semblance of the exercise I am use to when not in lock down. I hadn't been able to get any real pull-ups or back focused exercises done with the equipment I had at home. I chose this pull-up bar because you dont need any screws to install it and the actual bar sits level with the very top of the door frame (most door frame pull-up bars sit much lower, which gives you very little ground clearance when your arms are fully extended).I've been using it since it arrived. It feels extremely sturdy. I weigh about 90kg and it holds my weight no problem. The door frame has 0 marks or impressions from the bar (not that I would be that bothered anyway) and the overall piece of equipment feels extremely heavy duty. Its super easy to set up and I've been knocking out pull-ups all week.Delighted with this product. I know there is almost overwhelming variance with pull-up bars but you certainly cannot go wrong with this one. It does costs slightly more but I'm confident this will last far longer than the cheaper variants. Its also incredibly easy to setup and it arrived in no time.
