Hello Everybody

I am looking at getting a "Door Gym" for doing pullups and chin-ups. Does anyone have one? Can you install it so it doe not leave any or make any marks above or on the door jamb? Is it easy to put up and take down when using it? Do you have to leave it up permanently?
Is is safe to use?

Thank you for your input.

Hi Dianne, I have one. No, it doesn't leave any marks anywhere and it IS easy to put up and take down. You don't have to leave it up permanently and yes, it is safe to use. I've been using mine for the last year or so and like it a lot. I can do narrow grip pull-ups with my palms facing each other, not just regular narrow-grip or wide-grip pulls. I had to buy the extension bars because the door I want to use it on is wider than standard. It's been worth every penny.

i have one but do not use it. my door trim is not wide enough and it did make some marks. i can balance it between a bookcase and a tall desk though its really not that safe. instead i use a band over the door with a door stop. i think its still effective enough.

I do not have the Door Gym one, but I just got one the other day that was easy to put together and fit in my doorway without any extra parts...it was a little pricey, but it works very well and I can do everything I want to do with it...and magically, no marks on my walls!! Where, you may ask, can I get this wonder? www.pullupbar.com It is made by Easy Effort and I got model UD6. Good luck shopping and good luck with the pull ups!!!!

Hi Debra,

I also own a door gym, and I love it. It is inconspicuious, and has not left any marks on my door. I also have the extension bar to help with wide grip work, as well as the ab straps. The only flaw for me is that my door is not tall enough. I'm 5'8" so I am not able to get a full extension; my door needs to be about 10" higher. At any rate, it is a great piece of equipment, very durable. As for the price, you might want to check ebay or other online retailers.

Good luck,

RE: Door Gym - MY BAD :)

Y'all,

I have to apologize for posting my response a whopping 4 times! I was listening to music and am using the laptop that I got my boyfriend for Christmas. I'm not used to his keyboard, so as I was tapping to the music, I was hitting "post message" over and over again. Sorry about that - I don't see a delete option.

How funny! I needed a good laugh!!

Good luck,
