“I think the best thing about the Powerbar is its...”
Written on: 27/12/2009
I think the best thing about the Powerbar is its simplicity. You get it out of the box when it arrives, unfold the arms and hook it straight onto the door. I bought a P90X or something along those lines before and it took me hours to fix it together (and even then it wasn't a very good product).
I'm quite tall and so the Powerbar is great for me as the top bar is very high up. It also is far away from the door which means the frame doesn't get in the way like with the bars you screw...

Ideal does exactly what it says on the tin.. however, I'm another whos had damage above the door frame where the legs make contact. Im trying to find a piece of wood or metal to put across the top of the door frame to try and distribute the pressure that the legs exert. The JML irongym combats this problem with a bar rather than legs fitting above the doorframe. Im still glad I bought the Powerbar though due to the higher sitting position of the chinning bar.

Does exactly what it has to. Easy to use, just unfold the arms and hook it up, never feels like it will not support my weights. Saw it reviewd on elsewhere and I'm completely convinced with it. Can feel the benefits after only 2 weeks of usage so I'm happy. 10/10 (read more)

I want the best of both worlds - in the 1980s I saw a telescopic single bar, easy to store and transport, which fitted a doorway without the irritating screws and brackets. It simply jammed tight into a doorway by screwing out until the rubber pads gripped each side through friction alone.
Saw it used for a whole year, rock solid, totally safe if tight enough.

Written on: 01/09/2008
My Powerbar Pull Up Bar worked fine when I first tested it and was really pleased. Then I used it on another door frame and now i have holes in the wall above the door frame. Not ideal! So basically your walls may be strong enough to take it or they may not. I would not buy this again. (read more)

Written on: 28/07/2008
Easy to fit up on a door frame, got me doing 6 pull ups to 26 in a month or so, everyday things become simply easier to do... I broke my kettle when I lifted it up and bashed it against the cupboard above me.
100% recommended! Definately worth the money!

Bought this for my lads. They love it.
The good thing is that it doesn't wreck your paintwork and can be stored away as opposed to a screwed-in piece of equipment.

Written on: 25/03/2008
Generally a great piece of kit. I couldn't do pullups at first so I ordered the powerbar with the tapershaper assistant and I couldn't be happier with my strength progression. I only workout at home and this kit combination is solid, takes up no space and is great value for money. (read more)

Written on: 05/09/2006 by Pancake Jake (9 reviews written)
This pull up bar attatches to any door frame simply by slotting it on, it has no need for screws and the design means your weight is evenly distributed and so will do no damage to your door! Once off the door, you can use it for wide angle press ups or it fols flat for easy storage. This piece of kit is great as it's not just a chinning bar, with a combination of pull ups, chin ups and leg raises you can practice a wide range of exercises. It will not shake at all as you pull yourself up and... (read more)

This is all very well, but if you are over a certain height you need the bar to be higher and further from the frame for it to be effective.
