Professional Review:
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: Read why I didnt give it 5 stars
I was skeptical before purchasing it and figured I dont have much to lose if the product does turn out to be bad. I made my decision after reading other's reviews. I must tell you how happy I am with this product. It is light weight, sturdy and easy to mount and unmount (literally in 2 secs). It is an excellent excellent pull up bar. It does everything a gym pull up bar does while you are in the comfort of your home. I like how you can use it with 4 different grips.

I wanted to give it 5 stars but did not becuase the box had wrong size nuts and bolts. I had to spend extra $3 (plus gas and time) and purchase the right size from local hardware store.

   Summary: Best Purchase
I wanted to buy a pull up bar to help me train for the my school's Nordic ski team. My requirements were a bar that was not permanent (nothing that would screw into my door frame), wouldn't mar my door frame, and was sturdy. After carefully searching through all of the pull up bar reviews on amazon, I decided on this one. This has been the best purchase I have made and I couldn't be more pleased. This bar is sturdy, has not made a mark on my wall, and is extremely easy and quick to put up and take down (I have it in my room's doorway). It was constructed well, and was easy to put together after reading previous reviews on how to do it.

As a plus, this bar works as a sit-up spotter, which is nice since I do crunches before school when no one else is up. I can also do below 90 degree pushups with the door gym, which is a nice addition to my workouts. I would definitely recommend this pull up bar.

   Summary: Surprisingly good!
Despite the pretty good reviews, I was quite skeptical of this product. It looks like a gimmick, and many of the product's claims seem rather sensational... a strong, stable chin up bar with no screws and a 5 second installation? "No way" I thought. I ordered it anyways, figuring that I could always return it. Besides, my friend had bought my some ab straps, so I needed to get something to do chin ups and reverse crunches on.

The instructions were poor, but since it was only 4 bolts, it was self evident how to assemble it. It took my less than 5 minutes to assemble and make sure that everything was nice and tight. As advertised, it took less than 5 seconds to get it in my door frame. And it worked great! This thing is stable and secure, and as it claims, does not leave any marks on the door frame, which is important because I am a renter. While they sell matching ab strabs, I'm using third party ab straps just fine. I highly recommend the Creative Fitness Door Gym Broad Reach Attachment, since most back-strengthing excersizes require a wider grip.

The broad reach attachment also looks scary since nothing actually attaches to the chin up bar, but the friction fit is amazingly secure. After getting comfortable with these items, I crank out 5 sets of reverse crunches and 3 sets of chin ups twice a week with no fear of falling or injury. If you are looking for a good way to add lat and lower ab exercises into your routine, this is a great way to do it.

   Summary: Excellent and sturdy product!
A friend of mine recommended this pull-up bar, and I'm so glad that we decided to purchase it. The bar installs in a matter of minutes, and works on a variety of door frames. (Check the product description carefully to make sure that it will work with your door.) Because you don't need to drill it into the wall, you can switch doors easily and also do not have to worry about leaving drill marks on your door frames. It is also very sturdy; my husband and I both use it, and he weighs about 190.

We also bought the optional wide bar, which I would recommend if you want to do wide-grip pullups. I'm doing P90X for the first time, and it's nice to have the variety of options that P90X calls for.

Highly recommended!

   Summary: Rock solid and very easy to install
I got my door gym just a few minutes back. Assembling it was a no brainer! Just look at the two pictures in the pamphlet and you should be able to assemble it. Creative has been pretty creative in using the bar to press against the door sides when you do chin ups, thereby locking the bar in position! Nothing to unscrew when taking the bar down and use it for push ups. A 5 star product!!
