Works as advertised.December 18, 2009 Anthony Faubus(Linden, NC USA) 22 out of 22 found this review helpful
I shopped around and I have many years of fitness experience and so I didn't make this choice lightly. Yes, it smells of chemicals but it's probably because it was packed before the paint fully cured. The smell goes away by the time you get it together and use it a couple of times. The grips are good but they're a bit soft and made of foam so I don't expect they'll last a long time. The area of the bar that comes into contact with the doorframe is a hard plastic with a textured surface that will leave an impression in the wood plus the natural up-down flex will rub a bit. The flat area on the back is fine and I don't see any noticeable marks on the wall. Yes, some of the more gimmicky exercises rank right up there with using it as a grill for a compact pickup. Still, there's no simpler way to have pull-up capability at home. Portable? Yes. Does it come apart easily for compact transport? Don't even think about it. The beauty is it goes on quick, you work out, then put it away. Truly easy, effective and versatile since there are more grip locations than the single bar type. I even use the bends where there is no foam and it's no problem. I bought some fitness bands to keep my reps high and I just leave them on it and use them as I desire. Can't test the weight limit though, I'm less than a buck 50. The top 20 guide is a leaflet and my "kit" came with no tools. Didn't use the included brackets. The stupidest thing they did with this kit is provide you a "printed on both sides" piece of paper of 20 exercise pictures but NONE of them use the bar. The only exercise pictures using the bar are on the box which I am sure most people will throw away/recycle. Come on guys, sheesh. Still a great product.
It actually works- Great addition to work out!December 7, 2009 Faroundtheworld(USA) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Let me start by saying that this product works exactly the way I was hoping for. A quick 18 pull ups in the morning, 20 in the afternoon, and 30 in the evening...all wearing whatever I want!
It fits securely into all the doorways in my home, and leaves no marks on the door and feels very sturdy.
I use the product for not only pull ups but also for great push ups and light dips. I think this is a genius product and for the price, you really can not beat it.
I am happy with this product and will recommend it to a number of my friends, as it was recommended to me from a friend.
Initially I had bought this product and did not have a favorable experience. After conversing with Maximum Fitness and both of us coming to the conclusion that there must have been an anomaly in the order, they stood behind the product and sent a replacement quickly. The replacement arrived quickly and I am pleased with the experience.

Very good removable pull-up bar, but you need a socket wrench to build itJanuary 18, 2010 Z. Marine(Wisconsin) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This pull-up bar seems very well-made, with comfortable padded grips and a nice polish to it. It installs in seconds on a doorway so long as that doorway has some sort of lip for the top of the bar to catch onto (usually the wooden border on the top of the door). I've been using it for two weeks and haven't ever felt like it was going to slip. The only negative I can say is that putting this together requires some extra tools, namely a socket wrench and a screwdriver. The reason is that the nuts used are self-locking (meaning they have nylon threading) and so they get far too hard to tighten without some extra leverage. Other than the troubles putting it together though, I'm very satisfied with this and would definitely recommend it.
Best pull up bar yetFebruary 1, 2010 Mark Khoury 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This pullup bar is the best yet because it is very sturdy and allows you to go wide which, as of now, no other pull up bar does that.
