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.

Dear Jay,Your product has a great design with three strong points:- Compact Size: Perfect for travel.- Good Fit: Works with the girthiest of door frames and trim.- Clean Fittings: Rubber pads seem gentle on walls and frames (based on my brief usage).The clever design makes this tool stand out from other workout equipment.But the build quality is a major disappointment. First, the horizontal grips don’t have a large enough stopper to stay parallel to the ground, so they slip under the screw and tilt downward. I tightened the screw to fix this, but with more use, the frame itself started warping, causing the screw to angle even more and the grips to point further down. I lost all faith in the metal’s quality, as it kept bending until the horizontal grips were unusable. The box says carbon steel, but it feels like cheap aluminum. Then, the spring inside one grip came loose, making the handle unable to hold tension against the frame, rendering it useless. I fiddled with it for about 30 minutes but gave up.I’m returning it. The weak materials and flaws ruin a product I was excited to use for pull-ups anywhere. At this price, the quality is far too low.I would be more than happy to pay twice as much for a product that I know I can truly use everywhere and won't simply fall apart due to the most regular type of usage. This one just isn't it.

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

I love everything about the product. Setup is incredibly easy. It's as stable as it needs to be. It didn't mark the paint. It looks cool. It fit doorframes even wider than the specifications. The handles end up about as high as they can with room to grip them. They can be flipped around and moved to accommodate pretty much any grip, though the wider I went the more likely it was to slide a little toward the center.There's one thing I didn't like: the price. I got it because I didn't want to mark the doorframe; I had another pull-up bar before with that problem. Then I checked the NYT wirecutter recommendations and found a much cheaper pull-up bar that also was supposed to not mark the doorframe. I got both to compare. The bar is heavier, harder to assemble, and has more limitations on which doors it fits, but the bar doesn't mark the door. While I prefer the Jayflex handles, and I was really tempted to return the $35 bar instead of the $120 handles, I decided it wasn't worth the price difference.

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.
