Works great - very solid. I was able to install it despite the large pipes running parallel to my I-beam. The pull up bar is flexible enough in its positioning that I could pull the handles clear of the pipes without it being unbalanced.Installation notes: it really does just “screw†into place. Assemble it on the floor and lift it up, then bring the two mounting bracket halves together and into position on the I-beam. We used a 9/16†ratcheting wrench to tighten the bolts and just an adjustable crescent wrench for the hex bolts on top of the wide grip bar. It was definitely helpful to have two people for the install.

I was in my basement randomly thinking wouldn’t it be nice to have a nice pull up bar attached to my steel I-beam. As I’m in my 40s now I no longer can do pull ups or hang with my fingertips like I used to. So I did a search and surprised there weren’t too many options and this one by Firstlaw was $180! I was like F it let’s just go for if it means my fitness will improve over the next 12 months then it will be worth it. Arrived today and I was really impressed with the packaging. Also a hand written thank you inside. And was super easy to install and it went on the I-beam super secure. I think my whole family can hang on the bar. I am super impressed and getting good use out of this thing. Really well designed.

For a company that makes such a niche product in the market, Firstlaw Fitness is doing it right. Their product is amazing quality at a very reasonable price and their customer service is exceptional. I wasn't sure what to initially expect, but the pull bar was very easy to install and had not budged since. Highly recommend this product and this great PA based company.

I hesitated buying this due to the price, but once it arrived you knew it was made of high quality materials. I'm not great at putting things together but I was able to assemble it on my own in about 20 minutes. I've had door frame pull-up bars in the past, but this product is far superior. Extremely sturdy, easy to put together (though a youtube tutorial might be nice), and the grip is comfortable to the hands. Highly recommend!

It is very sturdy and well-made! My only problem is the pull-up grips on the bar are a little wide for me (for a normal shoulder width grip). The cross support bars are right about where I would want to put my hands. I am a 5’7†female. I chose the model with the padded grips, since I didn’t plan on doing any kipping/swinging moves on it & it would save my hands. However, the pads increase the diameter of the bar a decent amount and makes it a little difficult for smaller hands to grip. Knowing this, I would’ve ordered the tape grip bar and just used hand grips, if needed.

I've had this pull up bar for over a year now and my only regret is that I did not buy it sooner. I think this thing will outlast me. It isn't the cheapest pull up equipment around, but it is amazingly well built and well worth the money. I bought this and a well built dip station for about as much as freestanding pull up/dip stations that are far more flimsy and unstable. This thing is built to last and incredibly stable. It was also very easy to install. If you have an I-beam you can use, I can't imagine a better pull up equipment option.

Bought the pull up bar a month or so ago. Very well designed and solid piece of equipment. Installed very easily, but that’s where I ran into a problem.I intended to install the bar on an iBeam that had a drop ceiling, and even after removing the drop ceiling tiles around the iBeam, the bar would still be too close to the drop ceiling frame. Would need to remove the entire framework of the ceiling to make the pull-up-bar usable…not just one tile, as I wanted to. Not a fault of the product, entirely my bad in not measuring before I placed the order. I recalled seeing another version of the product that had a 6 inch extension that would bring the bar lower……which, in hindsight, what I should have ordered.I called First Law Fitness sales number, and Jeff quickly solved my problem. He offered to ship the 6 inch extension brackets (rest is the same). I fully expected to pay the extra cost for the extension and the shipping. Jeff promptly sent it across at no cost.The extension is installed now. As mentioned earlier, very well built piece of equipment. It is heavy and feels like something that would last forever.Can’t say enough about the excellent customer service. Thanks!!

Great pull-up bar; it solved a space problem for me. I have very little floor or wall space in my basement so I have been struggling to find a way to do full dead hang pull-ups and knee raises. the bar is very solid when attached to the I beam, so much so that I hung my gym rings from it as well. (moved from my rack). My issue is that I have duct work that runs right along one side of my I beam with only a two inch space between them. When I mounted the bar I could use a socket wrench on the free side. But I had to use a crescent wrench on the duct work side, and stick my fingers in a very small space to get the bolts started. The mounting bracket has three bolts per side, so it took about 15 minutes to tighten the duct side down properly. Be aware of this if you have obstacles by your I beam - it may be difficult to tighten the bolts.

While this pull up bar may be more expensive than other offerings, the quality is definitely what separates it from the rest. This does not feel flimsy in the slightest, it is super solid and does not budge at all when in use, it feels like its welded right to the I-Beam. If you are serious about fitness and have a place to install this I would highly recommend it. It is very solid and there is no way that it is going to slip around or anything while in use. The doorframe ones always feel very cheap and can slip around causing injury or damage while you use them, so if you are looking for an upgrade, this is it.
