Like the original Iron Gym, the Extreme Edition installs easily in most doorway frames without the need for screws, fasteners or tools of any kind. The sturdy steel frame mounts and removes quickly without wall or door damage that may be caused by permanent installation pull up bars. The black foam may leave a slight mark on white door frames, however.

This versatile piece of equipment lets you build and tone the chest, back, biceps, triceps, shoulders and abs. When placed on the floor you can perform deep pushups, tricep dips or sit-ups using the Iron Gym for foot stability.

One minor concern with doorway pull up bars of any kind is the need for tall users (6′ 2″ or taller) to bend at the knees to keep their feet from dragging on the ground.

Like the original, the Iron Gym Extreme Edition supports up to 300 pounds and is designed to fit residential doorways between 24 to 32 inches, with trim or molding up to 3.5 inches wide.

The GoFit Chin-Up Bar adjusts to fit standard door frames between 28″ – 36″. The bar can be used for chinups as well as crunches and situps when anchored at the door base. Weight capacity is 250 pounds.

This is not the twist-to-tighten variety of chinup bar that has been around for decades; it requires mounting hardware (included) to install properly and safely.

While the grips are high quality and comfortable, this bar lacks the wide-grip functionality of handles that extend beyond the door frame seen in the easy mount models.

This is an adequate bar if you’re on a budget, but also see the more versatile but still very affordable Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar or P90X Chin-Up Bar.

The straps are constructed from durable, heavy-duty nylon and will not not wear out or tear. They are ideal for building strong abs and core while performing hanging crunches and leg lifts.

An quick-lock “clip on” carabiner hook makes it easy to attach the straps to any chin up, pull up or sturdy overhead bar. This product has become popular for use with the Iron Gym, P90X and Joist Mount pullup bars

Extra padding and brushed interior lining add comfort. The straps are machine washable.

Valeo Ab Straps Product Details

• Made of durable, heavy-duty woven nylon with steel grommets
• Steel carabiner attachments for use with all brands of pull-up bars
• Interior padding with brushed lining for maximum arm comfort

This a sturdy, well constructed pull-up bar made of high quality material, but more expensive than the similarly designed and widely used Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar. If you’re purchasing a chin-up bar for P90X, be sure to compare with the Beachbody chin-up bar designed specifically for P90X. Both the Creative Door Gym and Iron Gym bars include a single horizontal crossbar, while the P90X version features two parallel bars for additional grip positions. See the pricing links below for photos of each product.

The Creative Fitness Door Gym uses a cantilever design (a horizontal beam fixed at one end only) that hooks on the doorjam without the need for screws or brackets. Body weight pressure is redirected across the bars pressing horizontally on the door frame for a secure and safe mount. This bar supports user weights of up to 300 pounds. As with all the pull-up bars of this type, deep pushups and situps can be done by placing the bar on the ground.

The instructions for the Creative Fitness Door Gym are not very clear, but after one-time assembly, without the need for any tools, the bar can be mounted securely in a doorway in a few seconds. A quick upward motion removes the bar when not in use. Be sure your door trim is at least 3.5″ wide and the horizontal doorway space is between 24″ and 32″.

It should be noted that the material used in this product can leave minor divots or marks on the door frame paint. This can be minimized with controlled reps and by not swinging from the bar.

An optional broad reach attachment is available that allows the Creative Doorway Gym emulate the Beachbody P90X dual-bar design. Creative Fitness Door Gym Broad Reach Attachment

This upper body/abdominal kit is actually three products in one, as it includes the Heavy Duty Ab Straps, used with the Perfect Pullup but normally sold separately. The package is less expensive than buying each item individually.

The Perfect Pushup’s rotating handles allow your arms to rotate naturally while performing pushups, improving results by engaging more muscles in the arms, chest, shoulders, and back. The motion also reduces strain on the wrists and elbows and helps to stabilize and strengthen the shoulders.

The Perfect Pullup also incorporates rotating handles, facilitating pullups and chin-ups in a manner that maximizes strength and efficiency while engaging more muscles, reducing joint strain and developing a stronger grip.

After simple assembly the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Bar can be installed in standard doorways in just seconds. Using your body’s own weight as leverage the bar mounts securely without the use of brackets, screws or fasteners.

When positioned in the doorway you can perform pull-ups and chin-ups using three grip positions (narrow, neutral, and wide) to develop arms, shoulders and back. Then, easily move the Iron Gym to the floor for deep dip push-ups, tricep dips or sit-ups and crunches using the bar as a foot anchor.

Using the body’s weight as resistance will always be an alternative to more expensive exercise machines. Pull-up/chin-up workouts help with motivation as you increase strength and try to best your record number of reps.

The Iron Gym is built with durable steel, supports users up to 300 pounds and is designed to fit residential doorways 24″ to 32″ wide with trim or molding up to 3.5″ wide. Like all bars of this type there’s a possibility of not fitting securely in older or non-standard doorways, but by all accounts these complaints are rare.

At about half the price of the the P90X version, and with so much convenience and versatility, you can’t go wrong with the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar.
