I have not bought one, but just saw an ad on tv for the perfect pullup, I was all excited because I thought at first it was a free standing bar like the tower is going to be, but it's a height adjustable pull up bar that goes in a doorway.
Looks pretty good though.

I recently bought the Iron Gym that I saw on TV - www.irongymtv.com. It fits to the top of your door frame and is easy to install. I love it. You can pull it down and out of the way quickly. It also comes with abs straps and you can use it on the floor or tricep dips and push ups. I love it. It was only about $49.

I have the P90X chinup bar and love it! I've had it about a year now and have had NO troubles w/ it. My Mom, brother, brother in law, and some other friends have all bought them after trying out mine.
It's less than $50 from Team Beachbody (I'm a coach). Let me know if you have any questions!

One warning about this device: If the molding around your door frame is wider than 3-1/2", forget it. My door molding is 5-1/2" and I can't use mine at all. I really needed it, too and was very disappointed. But if you CAN use the Iron Gym bar get it at Bed, Bath and Beyond because it's way cheaper. I was standing in line to buy it for about $39 when a woman handed me a $10-off coupon! BB&B always have $10-off coupons.

Jess, I want to know if this will fit my door frame. As I mentioned previously, my door moldings are 5-1/2" wide so the bar that curves toward you when you hook it on has to be at least 5-1/2" long before it curves out. I just know this won't work, either but I have to ask.

Hmm... let me measure the bar later and I'll get back to you!

I bought this at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $29.99 and got $10 off of that... total cost $19.99!
It's great! It works really well for me, but here's a warning... if you're tall it isn't so great. My son is 6'1" tall and it's just not high enough for him. He can use it if he bends his knees so his feet don't touch. If your door way is higher than average, it would work for tall people.

OK, it is about 5" from the top to the curve, so probably not long enough for your door frame. Sorry!!

Thanks, Jess. I kind of figured.
