The simple device uses the weight of your body leveraged against the doorframe, and requires that you have a doorway with trim. You can also do deep push-ups with the Door Gym by placing it on the floor. NO FASTENERS REQUIRED. And when used properly it will not damage doorway and can be installed and removed in 1 second. Door Gym door size requirements: Face molding around door: minimum 1½" maximum 3½". Molding distance from wall: minimum ¼" maximum ¾". Wall thickness: minimum 4¼" maximum 6¼" (trim to trim). This DOOR GYM has been designed to fit residential (framed) doorways 24" to 32"(up to 45" with the extensions) and support up to 300 lbs.

Summary: You HAVE to do Pull-Ups if you want to be strong, sexy, and stable
Comment: Pull-Ups are a MUST to a strong, sexy, and stable body. They are the best exercises for your upper body strength, especially your back, lats, and biceps.
There are so many variations of pull-ups you can do, from chin ups to pull-ups, from narrow grip to wide grip, and from middle to side.
If you live near a park, just use those natural hanging surfaces to do your pull-ups. If you don't have access to anything sturdy that you can hang onto, then invest in a pull-up bar.
Go to a fitness store and test out the different brands of pull-ups. See which one works for you, and buy that one.
If you don't feel the burn after 10 repetitions, you are doing the exercise wrong. In all exercises, it is the eccentric portion of the exercise that builds muscle. Do the exercise in a smooth, controlled fashion with a 3 concentric and 6 eccentric count. Squeeze at the peak of the motion to get that extra pump.
As in all exercises, make sure to keep your wrists straight and check your posture with these seven vital points: feet hips-width apart and pointed straight ahead; knees slightly bent; pelvis at perfect middle, as if you are sitting at a bar stool; stomach tight, but not flexed; chest straight and aligned on top of ribs; shoulders parallel to ribs; and neck straight on top of body.

Summary: Does what it promises
Comment: I ordered this product about a week ago after thinking about it for months and months. I had put off purchasing it for two reasons: 1). the price was more than I was hoping to pay for a pull-up bar, and 2). some of the reviews had made me think that putting it together might be tricky.
I'll discuss the assembly issue first. Some commenters had complained about the length of the bolts being barely adequate for the product. I didn't find this to be a problem at all, though I will concur that the assembly instructions included with the product were almost non-existent. The trick is to use the slightly shorter bolts to connect the handles to the stabilizing bar, and the longer bolts to connect them to the pull-up bar. It took me only about five minutes to get the bar put together.
As far as the price issue, it still irks me that I had to pay $45 for a pull-up bar. But the competitor products I was aware of weren't good options. One product which looks similar got terrible reviews from users, so I didn't consider it very seriously. And the bars that fit into braces screwed into the door frame weren't an option for me. Although I had looked at this and various alternatives for months, only after I ordered it did I notice a look-alike product called the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar which has also gotten excellent reviews. That bar sells for $10 less. The cost of this one, therefore, is the reason for my four stars. Aside from that, I'm quite satisfied with the product and have been enjoying using it.

Summary: Pleased with the door gym
Comment: My husband and I started the P90x work out and needed to get this in a hurry. It fits into a standard door way perfectly and is very stable. Different hand placements allow for diversified workouts. My only gripe is you can't go very wide (just b/c of the way it sits in the door). But, has not disappointed us since we've started using it.

Summary: Door Gym
Comment: Make sure the door frame you use the gym on is structurally sound and the trim is property installed with the correct depth needed to secure the gym and safely use it; the Door Gym is otherwise an excellent tool. Creative Fitness Door Gym
