JX FITNESS Door Frame Pull up Bar Doorway Chin up Bar with Padded Handles Foldable for Home Gym, No Drilling

I don’t often leave reviews but because I’d found reviews mixed in purchase, I wanted to clear the product name a bit. For the price I think this is great quality. It was simple to put together and easy to put up and take down each day- though it can stay mounted but my husband keeps walking into it. The bar feels solid and promises to take weight off up to 200kg though I’m about 60kg. It has a handy loop for attaching resistance bands to support pull ups and could be used to mimic lat pull downs if you had weighted bands. I’m really pleased with the product as I e had outdoor wall mounted bars before and they are not very enticing to train on come winter.

As described and is incredibly sturdy with high quality finish. Well packaged, mine came assembled (possibly a return) but assembly looked straight forward. A word of warning - this type of door frame assembly, requires a wide door, with no obstruction above the door frame ( no cables or trunking) and a reasonable amount of space either side of the door frame- a door in a corner or directly perpendicularly to a wall or outcrop will not have sufficient space. Of the 7 doorways in my small flat only one was suitable. Also be advised on installation the door won’t be able to be closed and has to remain in the open position. This type of device is easily removal, no screws, no drilling, is just angled into place so securely hangs. The grips supplied are comfortable and a good size. Be advised some pull up bars do have more grip points available- but I found those on this model more than sufficient for my needs. Functionality is as advertised. A great product. Buy with confidence.

It’s really good and sturdy, but it does slightly damage the door frame and the wall.

The screw-free door-mounted pull-up bar is a convenient and practical solution for home workouts, especially for renters or those avoiding wall damage. It’s easy to install, using leverage to securely fit onto standard door frames without tools, and can be taken down effortlessly for storage. The bar feels sturdy, with foam padding to protect door frames, and supports multiple grip positions for pull-ups, chin-ups, push-ups, and dips. However, it’s limited to standard door sizes and may feel cramped if your door isn’t tall enough for full extensions. Overall, it’s a versatile, space-saving tool for bodyweight training.

Was great to have

Very easy to put up - no screwing needed. Hasn’t left any marks either after a bit of use.

Firstly the frame doesn't fit on all the doors in my house, only about half in my new build type house so I'd imagine a lot of people will have problems with this fitting. Secondly its very awkward to do pull ups on this bar. I'm 5ft 10, 88 kg and can comfortably do 3 x 10 on a regular bar with no problems with my grip. With this I am not exactly sure what the problem is, I think because I am not starting the pull up off the ground, my legs are on the ground so the movement is not vertical like a regular pull up. The padding on the bar is squishy, I think both these factors cause my body weight be go through the proximal phalanx of my fingers instead of the weight being spread through my palms and the fingers. It's not clear to me why there should be squishy padding, come to think of it the bars at my gym and park are all solid. Because of this I am very sceptical of the positive reviews on this product, I don't see complaints on this issue though but I wonder if the reviews being written by people who can actually do pull ups. Also because the frame limits where you can put your hands the wide grip is a little too wide for me even though I am 5ft 10, wide pull ups may be ok if you are very short using the inner part or if you are tall.

I am very impressed with this product, I was comparing getting a stand or one that gets drilled outside. This ticks all the boxes. It is very sturdy, easy to use, easy to put away and does no damage to the door frame. The grip gets a little slippery if you are doing a lot of pull ups however it is comfortable. It fits on my door frame however it doesn’t fit on all of them you need to measure the door frame width and make sure you have enough space on each side. The design is great not only for pull ups but for pushups and especially triceps dips. There is no movement when using. You would think they have sponsored me for this review lol I highly recommend.
