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

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.

There’s a small entryway when you first walk in my bedroom. I wanted to hang a pull up bar there so I can work out in private. The specific location I wanted to install it didn’t have studs so I had to get 2 1x6 boards, cut them into squares and use 4 toggle bolts on each board to attach it directly to drywall. It’s extremely sturdy. Side note: don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t hang heavy things on pure drywall. I’ve done it for numerous things in my house. You just need to know how to disperse the weight. Anyway, I was a bit skeptical at first with how small the screws were for the mounting brackets but they held up very well after screwing them into the wooden boards. I’m not a light person and the bar holds my weight just fine. And it’s definitely more secure than the ones that use tension to keep it secure. Those pull up bars are prone to slipping off the wall so I would avoid those. Only two cons I can think of is, 1st, you have to adjust the bar so that it gets really jammed into the mounting brackets or else the bar will twist when you try to hang or do anything with it. 2nd, this is no big deal but I’m just putting it out there for anyone who cares. The “JFit” logo on the grip cushions is almost completely worn away after only hanging from it 5 times. All in all, a very good, sturdy product. The price is in the “cheap” territory so I thought the quality would reflect it but I would easily buy it for 10 or 15 dollars more.

Installing the pull-up bar was quick and easy, I really like the mounting cups which prevent the bar from slipping down at all. I keep mine up most of the time but occasionally take it down if it becomes an obstruction, and both putting it in the cups and taking it out of the cups is fast and simple. So far I haven't had it try to twist loose like some reviews have stated, I don't know if that's a difference in form or just specific units. My main complaint is that the foam padding is thick and uneven due to the overlap. A small section is over half an inch thick that then drops off to a quarter inch, and I can't find a comfortable spot for that to fit in my hands. I tried doing pullups on the bare bar, and despite the slick surface, I found them much easier to do without the padding because my grip was more consistent. Overall a good bar and I was happy that it let me continue my workouts. I recommend buying some friction tape along with this bar and just skipping the padded grips altogether.

The bar is easy to install and very sturdy. In my case, I need to remove after each use which is so simple to do. I also needed a bar that would work with my extra wide 38" door. Customer Service team was very professional and helpful.

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.

Preferí colocarla en el muro para no dañar los marcos de las puertas. Fue bastante sencillo y queda firme. Sobra decir que necesitan taquetes. He leído muchos comentarios de personas que optan por usarlo a presión, es verdad que se puedes hacer, pero.... ya depende de cada quien el riesgo que quiera tomar.

So there's a saturated market of pullup bars out there, and each one seems to be getting more expensive than the last. This only costs about USD 25 and I did not expect much. Was completely blown away by the quality, the metal is sturdy, there is very little wobble and zero bending once secured. I did not need to use the screws and the rubber friction is holding the bar up just fine. But I'm on the lighter side, so if you're heavier please do install the safety screws on the side. Also, make sure you do your pullups on the side that tightens the bar.
