JayflexCrossGrips Compact Pull Up Bar - Pull Up Bar Door Frame for Work from Home Fitness - Adjustable Door Frame Pullup Bar Handles - 250 lbs Capacity

I recently moved to a new apartment. I have used the regular pull up bar that you attach to the door frame for the last 3 years. However, it did not fit on my door frames at my new place. The door frames are slightly more narrow than most door frames. These worked perfectly. Price is more than what I would normally pay but there is literally not another pull up tool like this.PROS: It fits all door frames. I'm a 5'9 180 it supports me just fine. There is no slippage. Can easily use neutral grip and overhand grip. It's portable and you can use basically anywhere.CONS: If your door frame is narrow like mine you won't be able to do wide grip pull ups. Also do not swing while doing any type of pull-up. It's meant for strictly going up and down. Don't get me wrong it's pretty secure. But I can see that swinging with a lot of force can cause it slip off and fall. But like I said you will have to have a lot of force and momentum to get it off the frame.Overall it's great for home.

It's a good purchase but slightly expensive. It is surprisingly sturdy and can be used for dips and push-ups as well. I actually really appreciate that. It is not exactly intuitive immediately how to put it on a door frame the first time; you have to figure out what works best for you but once it is on, it is on and it is very good.The grip is a little bare-bones but you can order those standard foam tube things to put around it.I don't like how it looks slightly cheap... The welding that connects the grips to the thing is a little rough.9.3/10.

For years I’ve been using the more tradtional doorway pullup bars that mostly rest on the edges of door frame s, have been using the kind with neutral grip options and happy, no damage to the door frame either, especially because I use extra padding between the door frame and pull up bar. But I started looking for another option that is more travel friendly because I’ll be travelling for work more often and recently went on a two week trip overseas. These work great! They are compact and worked just about everywhere I stayed except for a hotel in an island off Greece that had no tradtional door frames to grab on to. Ive even been using now that ive been back and dissassembled my old bulky pull up bar. They grab around the frame nicely and leave no marks at all so far. Only two issues: 1) the little grips that fold down are useless, I tried to put some weight on them and one began bending so I stopped and now it’s permanently crooked, for me it’s fine because I prefer the neutral grip but if I didn’t it would be a deal breaker because there is no way those straight grips would’ve held my weight 2) I definitely heard more creeking from the doorframe than I did with the other pull up bar but if I go slow it mostly stops, this has changed the way I do pull ups but am fine with it as going slower I feel my joints don’t bother me as much. Otherwise the pros outweigh the cons. It’s a little pricey but mostly seem well built and hopefully will last a long time.

First impression when pulling these out of the box was that I was impressed by how sturdy they felt and I liked the design. That was short lived. I am now on my second set of these, the first having been replaced for the exact same reason, and they have failed after the first use. I weigh 195 pounds and was not abusing these. The metal in the cutout of the grip that allows the perpendicular bar to rotate flat continually bends and then creates an angle that is greater than 90 degrees (see pictures). Bad design. Needs to be reinforced in this area.

A little deceptive. It seems like it can clear 7.5 inches. but it barely made it onto my 6 inch door frame reason being the rubber parts of the pull up bar add on another 1 inch-ish for both sides meaning it can barely clear a 6 inch frame. I also had to do some really awkward fidgeting and twisting and turning to get it off; most likely wearing the rubber part out and putting unfavorable mechanical stress on the item.Another thing that doesn't make sense is making this spring loaded. Why not make it a separable piece? That way it can be assembled onto the door frame regardless of how wide it is. Add some kind of lock in mechanism to connect the two bits together and you now have something that's significantly stronger than spring loaded action.The spring loaded action also means you can't use resistance bands for additional variety of exercises. This is good for pull ups period. Add resistance band work and the spring loaded mechanics fail to keep it in place. This is strictly good for up and down movement. Sideways and front to back movements fail due to spring loaded action, there's no way it can handle the weight. And could handle that weight then you wouldn't be able to pull it apart to open it up.At a first glance this seemed like a good product and it is but only strictly for pull ups and even then you might damage the item just from fitting it and removing it from your door frame due to its below 6 inches of clearance width.

Love love love! Feels a lot more sturdy than the typical doorway pull up bar. I like how you can change the width and move easily

Very well made exercise equipment, exactly what I was looking for. Had hoped to use abroad (Ireland) however, door frames/moldings were too wide and did not provide enough clearance to get my hands around grip bars. A "European" version with longer support bars to accommodate the different construction codes would be great, though, not sure if the demand would be robust enough to justify the production modifications.
