I wasn't so sure about this thing. It was easy to assemble. I put it together in about 8-10 minutes. Yet, it seemed flimsy and I was afraid of damage to the doorframe (I live in an apartment). However, it really works as advertised. The way this thing is designed distributes the weight into the sides of the doorframe so your bodyweight is pushing in on the frame and not hanging dead weight. It is really a clever design. It installs in seconds and leaves no damage. It's light weight and compact so there isn't any worry about storage. The push-up function ensures good form because of the hand placement. It allows you to do deep push-ups, and gives you a wider range of motion than simply using a flat surface. You can do wide push-ups as well. It works fairly well for sit-ups too. Yet, I found myself having to stop a couple times to set the bar back even with the floor. Yet, it works better than sticking my feet under the couch (What I did before I got this). The wide pull up function works just fine. I wasn't sure if the hand placement would be sufficient but I could feel the burn after a few reps. The only drawback is the dip function. It doesn't really do anything for you. You really can't get a full range of motion with the device placed on the floor. The workout guide recommends elevating the feet with a stool but it doesn't increase the range of motion in your triceps. You need to elevate the Iron Gym in addition to your feet in order to do dips properly. However, using the device in this manner can be potentially dangerous and result in injury should the device shift position in mid-dip. I don't recommend doing it. There are safer options to doing dips. I was able to do hanging crunches without the ab straps, but I will probably go ahead and get them just because they are only eight bucks with shipping and handling. Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase. You get a multifuncitoning piece of exercise equipment for the price of a dumbbell. You can't go wrong with this. It works, and you can get a great workout on this thing. I've incorporated it into my warm-up routine. I will still use free weights, but this is a wonderful item. I can see this as a great travel item too. If you go on vacation you can turn any motel doorframe into a gym.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3 month update - My weight when I first began using the Iron Gym was 145 lbs. I was working out 3 times a week with dumb bells and doing push-ups. After getting the IRON GYM I incorporated the device into my routine. As of today I have gained 17 lbs. of muscle mass putting my weight at 162 lbs.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7 Month Update - I have still been using IRON GYM three days a week in addition to my dumbells and jump rope. My weight is now at 171. I've noticed the padded material that makes contact with the doorframe is beginning to wear. I may need to start putting ducktape on the ends of the device. There is also some slight wearing of the paint above my doorframe. I'm going to have to have some touch up work done.

Very sturdy. Easy to build. I called the help number when I had a small trouble during assembly, turned out to be the owner. Very respectful guy, 10/10 recommend everyone to support his business.Supports my weight which is give or take 160 lbs, fits perfectly in my small doorframe. Is very durable and doesn’t shake when user correctly. Just make sure your doorframe has enough space. Otherwise solid product

Just what I needed. And the price that I paid on Amazon was actually more affordable than Walmart and a couple of dollars less than it is now. So I guess I ordered mine at the right time, a time where Amazon was feeling a little generous I guess. I've only had this item for like 40 mins, and I had a good feeling about it from the start. Assembly was pretty simple(took about 10-12 mins), and all parts were there except for the ab straps which I don't really need anyway; because with this I can easily improvise. It fits nicely above the closet doorway which is about 2.5 ft wide or about 2ft. 7in., and it holds my weight very well; I'm 180. I still have yet to try it out on a wider door frame, but I'm sure that it will fit above the other doors as well. A very nice tool for fitness enthusiasts and a great way to build strength and muscle when the dumb bell set just isn't enough anymore. A very nice and affordable gift for someone who likes to workout a lot. I've been wanting a chin up bar for a long time, and now I finally have one and I love it. It's so easy to use, another plus. Iron Gym is my new best friend. Highly recommended. Money well spent, what more can I say?***UPDATE***After trying this product on 3 different doorways, it works on all 3 and each are different widths. However, I did notice how it will leave small indentations in the side molding of the door frame and sometimes black scuff marks on the paint. The foam grips and padding seem like they might last for a couple of months, but I do intend to improvise when they wear out. I'm about to place a thin piece of padding in between the frame of the door to prevent more serious damage, because I do believe with heavy usage the Iron Gym will do further and more noticeable damage to the door frame. Thinking about my weight, the natural effects of wear and tear and my passion for working out; I'm going to have to take certain measures to ensure that I do not cause serious structural damage to the door frame. This will probably do damage even quicker with heavier people, so keep an eye on the condition of your door frame after every workout. Other than that, it's still a great product that I intend to use every day.

Seems sturdy. Easy to assemble, tad there are 4 screws and it comes with a wrench. And the metal tubes are pretty solid. When assembled it was too wide for the door way. I took off the rubber end caps and cut off 1.5 inches off each side and then put the rubber caps on again. Fits perfectly. I also wanted it higher so on the backside of the door frame I secured a piece of wood that boosts the bar up about 2.25 inches. This will also help with the weight (I’m 220lbs) on the moulding around the door. The only thing that puzzles me is that everything is metal but the bar that rests horizontally on the back of the door frame. It’s plastic. Seems somewhat durable, but I wonder if that will be the thing that might break. We will see.***Update (3 weeks later): solid and functional. I’ve done about 900 chin ups/pull ups on it, and it flexes, but it is sturdy and solid. The foam pads have ripped a bit, but I just use hockey tape and wrap the handles. No other issues. Great purchase.

I use it to deadhang and stretch out the spine after an entire day of sitting. You can physically feel the lower spine stretched out and more relaxed after doing so. Give it 4 stars as one of the holes for the screws was shredded and didn't work right, but I was still able to build and use it.
