Door Gym

My Bodypower door gym arrived today ahead of the expected delivery date which is always nice, upon opening the product’s box (which was not supplied in any other packaging) luckily, all the parts were there! The instructions are very basic but, you can see where everything goes.You just need a 9mm & 10mm socket/spanner to put it together and it all bolts together relatively easily.Use:I’ve tried it out and the amount of variation you can get on the different pull up grips is fantastic! Just wish it was a little wider as I’m tall!Although it holds my weight fine (I only weigh about 80Kg) it still seems a little shaky. There are a couple of bolt ends that stick out too so you have to be careful not to catch yourself on them.Fit:The doorways in our flat are a bit unusual due to it being an old building and unfortunately even with adjustment the bar won’t fit the living room doorway. It fits the bathroom so I’ll keep it but I’d hoped to be able to use it on the living room doorway due to space etc.All in all it’s a good piece of equipment, with multiple grips to hit different muscle groups in your back and even has eyelets to attach resistance bands to.If you’re on a budget and tight on space this will definitely do the job and give you a way to hit all of your back muscles, it just doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence when performing more complex movements.

An outstanding pullup bar! Given that it raises itself higher than other doorgyms it is, in my opinion, the best door gym you can buy. You can do the all-important leg raises on this badboy, whereas other door gyms are too low for leg raises.Had I had not seen this I would have bought a mounted pullup bar which would have required me to bolt it into the wall.I have even bought the smart-looking, non-assembly, door pullup bars but they don't fit right - they don't hook onto the door properly and the ends even go past the door frames! They're American and obviously made for larger door frames.Through trial and error with other pullup bars the Bodypower Door Gym easily comes in at No.1.

Product gave way and bent after using it for a month or so. I'm not a big guy and it wasn't under a lot of pressure. The seller was absolutely brilliant and refunded me quickly and with little hassle.

Easy to fit onto door frame, feels sturdy and has protective foam so that it doesn’t damage the door frame.

Very solidly built and sturdy to use. Was also well reviewed in the Independent online.

Good if tall
