 Could Be Better... July 15, 2008
After opening the box and counting the bolts, I was missing a few. Not sure where they had gone. It seems the were loosely packed so perhaps they fell out of the flimsy box.
Lucky I have some nuts/bolts/washers laying in my toolbox and they seem to fit.
This bas is definitely NOT for small door frames! If your door is under 26" in width, then this would not work. My door happen to be 24" in width. I live in a studio apartment so the only door I have if the bathroom door. I would use the entrance but then people would be walking by and watching me work out.
Also, the foam pads wore off on the 2nd set of chin-ups. I basically had metal chaffing onto my door frame.
The bar creaks like it wasn't made to last. I weigh in at almost 200 lbs. and I'm afraid the bar might give at any moment.
I'll give this bar another 6 months before it'll finally break on me...
 works like a charm July 12, 2008
Bought this for my new work out routine to include with the P90X, and it works great! fits very solidly in my door frame, and hasnt fallen off or anything yet, very sturdy design, a good name brand and a pretty good price as well
No problems - big arms June 27, 2008
Im not sure what all these people are talking about with "hard to setup this and that". The directions were simple and I put it together and was using it within 30 minutes. I dont/havent gotten any tools so this unit is not together right, however the bolts and everything still holds under my weight (178 lbs). Soild unit, Im impressed.
 Does good job with chin up June 21, 2008
This product does a great job with chin up exercise, but it doesn't do well with situp like it advertised at all. I have carpeted floor, which is not firm enough for the bar to leverage against during situp. I haven't try it on a hard floor to see if it work there or not, but I doubt it will. The bar is strong and sturdy once all screw is in place and tighten. The bar does need to have a doorframe header to work properly, I would not just depend on the leverage wood bar and its sandpaper to hold by itself. The bar size is not adjustable, so it will only fit certain size doorway only. The soft grip is nice and comfort as well. Overall it does chin up bar function really well without having to screw the doorframe, but does not work with doing situp.
 Faulty mounting June 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I did some research on pull-up bars through other customer reviews, and the Everlast bar had the fewest negative reviews (that's not saying much). Many of the negative customer reviews on Everlast were because the customers had old doorways and the bar didn't work for them. I live in a new house, so I figured that I wouldn't have a problem with the door size.
The pull-up bar was straightforward to assemble, but I must admit that I spent awhile trying to figure out how it was mounted on the doorway. After looking at the picture and trying out different ways of mounting the bar, I finally realized that the bar just mounted on the doorframe, and had nothing to do with the door itself. The reason it took so long for me to figure that out was that it doesn't look safe or secure. There's a tiny sand-paper-like band on the wooden bracket that's supposed to hold it in place on one side of the doorframe, but that's a joke. I only weigh 165 pounds, and after three normal pullups, the whole contraption fell, and me with it. Most of the sand-paper tape came off the wooden bracket, showing how precarious the whole doorframe mounting idea was in the first place.
I'll just have to find a way to mount this thing on the wall, the doorway frame mounting idea is a joke!
