JFIT Deluxe Multi Exercise Doorway Pull-Up Bar with Comfort Grips, 40-Inch

Sturdy! We had to screw it in because it fell once, which was kindof dangerous. Screwed in, it is perfect. Eventually the hand pads wore down and will need replacing, but that means we're using it alot! My husband loves it and he's a big guy.

This bar is a pretty sweet deal. I use to have one of these bars when I was younger. Now, at the age of 33 and at a desk job for the past two years, I recommend one of these. I did order one of the fancy pullup bars with all sorts of various grips, and despite my door frame meeting the specifications of this bar, the bar did not fit. The j/fit Doorway Pull-Up Bar can quite literally fit any door and is easy to install with a level and measuring tape. My only concern, and just for safety reasons, I didn't use the screws provided with the bar. It's important to know the construction of the door your hanging the bar on. My house is old and is build with plaster and lathe. The doorway where I put the bar has a good 1/2" of plaster, so the provided screws would not have been sufficient. Even if the door jam had wood right from the get-go, the screws provided could be beefed up a little. It's unlikely the bar would slip between the grip of the screws and the pressure the bar provides once it's tightened, but I'd rather play the safe card here. For an extra buck for six screws, I'd rather feel safe even if the longer screws provide nothing in addition. But, my situation is unique insofar as my door jam has plaster as the first material and not wood like most doors. Otherwise, save yourself the $50.00 on some of these ridiculous pullup bars, they all do the same thing, the others are just over complicated, unnecessary, and not worth the value they provide. This j/fit Deluxe Doorway Pull-Up Bar is easy to install, provides the same function as other pullup equipment for 1/2 the cost, and can literally fit "any" doorway as long as the doorway is within the measurements as provided in this products description. Thanks for a great American made product!

I’ve been using the JFIT Deluxe Multi Exercise Doorway Pull-Up Bar with Comfort Grips (40-Inch) for a while now, and overall I’m very satisfied with the purchase. Installation was quick and straightforward. All I needed was a screwdriver, and it was up and ready in just a few minutes. The bar feels solid once installed. I weigh about 135 lbs, and it easily supports my weight without any sagging or shifting. It feels sturdy and secure during pull-ups and other exercises. The comfort grips are nice, though they are a bit thick because of the Velcro wrap. This isn’t a dealbreaker, but it does make the grip feel slightly bulkier than some other bars I’ve used. One important thing to note is maintenance: it’s best to re-tighten the bar about once a week. If you don’t, it can gradually loosen, which could become a safety concern over time. As long as you stay on top of that, it performs well. Overall, this is a solid and reliable doorway pull-up bar for the price. Easy to install, sturdy in use, and effective for home workouts. I’d recommend it, especially if you don’t mind doing occasional tightening to keep it secure.

I have used several bars in the past and I have finally found one that is super sturdy, very safe and actually works. Several people have said that they don't use the end brackets but you have to be sure that you have the right kind of finish on your walls or doorway for this and you have to test it before each use. Some paint is just too slick and the bar will slide right down the wall. If you use the brackets than you will never have to worry about this happening as the bar only extends from one end, which is a real pain when you are initially installing the unit because it unwinds very slowly. In fact I thought mine was stuck so I called j/fit and they patiently explained to me that this is done purposely so the bar does not loosen while in use. It is a very carefully designed unit with several safety features which makes it a top of the line bar for home use. The ends have black rubber pieces which can create an extra cushion or suction to the wall or the end caps (I think this is why people are able to use it without the brackets). It only extends from one end which allows for double thickness through the middle unless you have a very wide door. One con is that the neoprene grips are placed in weird position and I almost gave it a 4 star because of this but when I asked j/fit if I had to use it in this position (even the picture shows this use) they said that you have to move the grips into position because the way the bar is designed, and extends from one end only, the grips cannot be positioned before shipment or they would have to put it in a very long box. I found this pretty easy to do, I just ran my thumbs around the inside of the neoprene to kind of loosen the grip and them jimmied them into the proper place. As soon as you release the suction of the grips, they are easy to move, just don't try to yank them into place.

I am so happy I scoured Amazon for a chin up bar. My space is a top floor.. the other door inside is slanted along with the ceiling so not a lot of doorway. This door is missing some doorway top so the over the door bars won't work. Plus the doorway itself is very uneven (it's an extremely old building). This bar is the only thing that will work for my space. And I love that it can be removed without removing all of the hardware. It's so convenient! I just received it this evening and I already did my back workout this morning.. i did some hanging to test its sturdiness and it feels pretty solid. I would have more peace of mind if the screws were longer and the cups were deeper to ensure a more secure fit but that's just me worrying. If you don't see me update after my next workout then you know it's doing its job!

Great. Works as expected/ advertised.

This bar is easy to setup, and comes with fittings for both chin ups and pull ups. Please note that you won't be able to use this product without screwing the fittings into the door frame. The screws are small, but you will need a drill to put them in. My only complaint is the grips are velcro straps, so, if they aren't positioned well, they can hurt your hands. With that said, the grips are soft and pretty good quality, so if they are positioned correctly, are very nice to use. It supports me very easily, and I am a 75 kilo male. Great buy for the money. TLDR; Pros - Inexpensive Good quality Built to last Cons- Grips can be finicky Will have to drill holes into your door frame.

La barra en sí es de excelente calidad, te das cuenta en cuanto la agarras porque es muy pesada. La instalación es rapidísima si tienes lo necesario a la mano. La instalé en pared de concreto con 1 metro de apertura. Temía que al empezar a usarla se doblara un poco, pero es muy sólida y segura siempre y cuando se instale correctamente. El único pero te le encuentro son los tornillos que trae para ser instalada, son muy pequeños, así que tuve que usar unos mucho más largos, lo cual recomiendo para evitar accidentes.

La barra es de buena calidad, se ve fuerte, da la sensación de confianza al colgarse, sin embargo, por mi peso (102kgs) y mi estatura 1.87 no confío lo suficiente para dejar todo mi peso colgando; por lo que no la he utilizado al 100% para evitar cualquier chingadazo innecesario. para personas de menor peso y estatura sí lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Very easy installation, i twisted it into my door frame without the metal cap extra supports and it worked great, but i did screw in the metal caps after just for extra peace of mind and safety. Seems like its made very well and the grips can be moved around. Going to be too busy to go to the gym regularly in a few weeks so this will be very helpful so i can use this as part of my workout at home
