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. Ab loops and broad reach accessories sold separately. For use with wooden doors only.

Summary: be careful, it might not fit your door
Comment: I loved the concept and was trying to have a chin bar for my daughter without drilling into the house. But my older house has thicker door jams, and this didn't work for me. There should be some door specs that would have made it easier for me to know in advance that this wouldn't fit. For newer homes, it is probably a great idea.

Summary: great product
Comment: It does exactly as promised. No damage to the door frame and I can put it up in seconds.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sturdy, easy on and off the doorframe
Comment: We have loved the ease of use of this lightweight yet sturdy doorframe bar. We took it on vacation, and didn't need to disassemble it. Both my wife - who can do more pullups than I can - and I both hope to use it for years.

Summary: Great Product
Comment: I'm 16 years old and play soccer and tennis for my school team. I needed a pullup bar to build more upper body strength, but this is so much more. You can use it as a situp spotter, a pushup apparatus for an increased range of motion and, of course, a pullup bar. The amazon box that this product came in is huge but the actual product box is tiny. Putting it together took about 2 and a half minutes and the only tool you need is included. The construction is very sturdy. So far, i've used this product for three days and am extremely happy with it. Some people talked of their safety concerns but i had none whatsoever. It easily supported my 150 pound body. I would recommend this without a second thought to anyone looking for a better way to get fit.

Summary: Excellent pull-up bar
Comment: Pros: Excellent quality, sturdy, very easy to remove from the door.
Cons: Assembly instructions are confusing. Leaves some marks on the back of the wall.
I like to do pull ups, but my wife doesn't like to see my gym equipment lying around. I needed something I could setup and take down easily. This takes ten seconds to hang or remove from my door frame. It couldn't be easier. The bar claims to be able to hold 300lbs. I cannot confirm that, but I'm 5'10" and 180lbs and I'd have no fear hanging from it upside down.
A couple very minor negatives I've run into after six-months of use. First, the assembly was more difficult than it should have been. There are only four screws and washers included, but it's difficult to tell which pair should be used where. To prevent the screws from loosening over time, it's very important to use the correct washers. If in doubt, there are some good instructions included in the reviews of this product on amazon.com. Second, the back of the bar left some small marks on the wall above the door frame. These are caused by carelessly dragging the bar while removing it, and not from the weight of the pull-ups. The marks are minor scuffs to the paint, not damage to the wall or frame.
If you are looking for a space-saving, easy to remove, durable pull-up bar, I would highly recommend the Creative Fitness Door Gym.
