 MORE LIKE A DOORSTOP!! November 15, 2005
15 out of 30 found this review helpful
I measured everything correctly. Set it up exactly how the instructions directed(EVEN DID IT TWICE,just to be sure). The thing came crashing down on my head after two pullups!! Called for assistance,but got none. Got rid of it already,i have a tower gym on the way. Really wanted this product to work, but to no avail.

Overall, a very good product, easy to use and very sturdy. I weigh in at about 225, and have felt very safe with it. Putting it up and taking it down takes literally no time.
However, it has left small marks on my door frame, not TOO noticeable, but present nonetheless. And I find myself wishing for foam pads on the wide grip location (outside the handles) as well. I purchased the wide grip bar, but have yet to use it.
4 Stars.

certainly worth the expense, the door gym is sturdy, very easy to assemble, and offers you a variety of grips for doing chin-ups, i.e. you can isolate different sets of muscles.
for a place to install the doorgym, make sure you have a doorway with a wooden trim. and if you want a permanent home for the doorgym in your house/apartment, use a doorway to a room for which the door remains open! - the only (minor) annoyance is that you can't close your door when the doorgym is in place.
 Simple/versatile/effective chin up solution March 14, 2005
I've had the Door Gym for about a month now and have been very pleased with it. It really does just hang on the opposite top of the door. However, the cantilever design does not rest your body weight on the door trim, but against the door frame both sides of the door frame. You can easily put it up or down in seconds.
Door Gym comes with a small metal tab that can easily be inserted between the wall and trim molding on the side opposite where you do your chin ups. This tab is not noticeable and makes a safety stop for the top part of the door gym that is pressing against the top of the door. The instructions recommend this if children will use the Door Gym, but I put it up even for my use since I always use the same doorway. You do not have to have it, but it adds a little safety measure to insure it won't slip off the trim. I have used the Door Gym many times now and have not seen any wear on my door and I feel very comfortable with its safety.
You do need to pay attention to the door dimensions they recommend for use. There are definitely some doors in my house it won't work with (too wide, not enough top clearance if there is a very low ceiling above door, etc.)
I really like the push-up feature for deep push-ups on the floor, they're more effective than regular push-ups.
I have not used it as a sit-up spotter since I don't have a door convenient for that, but it basically can sit on the floor and the long bar normally used for chin-ups locks against the door frame on the side opposite where you are doing situps.
Great idea and product. If you're in a hurry you can get a decent upper body work out in minutes with just this one handy device .
Very good product February 6, 2005

Good for a quick and tough upperbody workout, plus abdominals. I wouldn't call it portable because it's pretty unwieldy, but it installs and uninstalls in 2 seconds. Comes with a little clip to reinforce the mounting bar to keep the gym from falling off the doorway frame.
