DreamGYM Doorway Pull-up Bar - Chin-up Bar - Swing Support Bar

Sturdy and multipurpose

Works great. Pull-up bar for me. Place for coat hangers for wife.

I previously had a door frame chin up bar that failed after being used for too many years. It occurred with my chin at the bar and my legs bent back at the knees to prevent my feet from touching the ground when I lowered my body. My knees hit the tiled floor from several feet in the air which was quite painful. So now shopping for a replacement I wanted one that would be secured to the frame with screws. Each frame mount is held in place by five screws. The end pieces that are inserted into the frame mounts are welded to bar. The end pieces are inserted downward into the mounts which form an envelope around them. The end pieces have been shaped into a pentagon so the bar will not rotate in the mounts. I use it only for chin ups and pull ups so I cannot speak to other uses for it.

I’m 5’8. And the standard width of grip leaves no room for what I consider proper pull ups on a 35” door frame. So my elbows push into the sides of the door frame. This is my first try with an inner door frame bar rather than the type that hooks through and has wider bars. 4 stars because it feels solid and is low profile. Chin ups and banded stuff works great.

We use this for a sensory swing for our son and works well. Very easy to install and seems very sturdy.

I originally bought it so I could hang and 'unkink' my back. It saved me from frequent trips to the chiropractor. A surprising benefit was that I noticed over time that my arms, shoulders, upper chest and back became more toned. Why pay for the gym?

I first purchased this very same bar when I moved into my dorm a long long time ago. It served me and the whole floor very well for the entire four years. Did not bend or break. The brackets are thicker gauge steel than comparable products. I was surprise to see that it's still on the market after so many years, so it was a no brainer to buy it again. I'm sure the bar in my old dorm room is still there and is still being used by students. Highly recommended.

Update: I sent it back in favor of a pressure adjustable model. But I think with engineering improvements in the brackets, it could be the best on the market. Brackets need to fit bar ends like they were made for each other.Original post:I’ll keep it because it’s the only one on Amazon that screws in, doesn’t use outward pressure that would potentially damage my door frame, is adjustable, and locks rotation to avoid spinning the bar which is annoying when I’m doing pull ups.However, if there was a similar product out there that was better engineered for the same purpose, I’d buy it. This one is so loosely engineered it’s as if it was designed by a high school shop class. The hex shape of the wall slots has nothing to do with the hex shape of the bar ends. Wall slots might as well be circular and fit to the bar. And the wall slots are far wider than needed to accommodate the bar ends, so it’s loosy goosy. I’ll see if I can find a shim to make it a tighter fit. The little tabs that rotate in to “lock” the hex end in place are also a design/engineering kluge. For $45, I would expect better. But alas, all the other products out there have their own flaws (outward pressure potentially damaging, circular ends that can spin/rotate while doing pull ups, or non adjustable).
