Hi Cathe. I am finishing week one of STS and LOVE it even more than I thought I would! Thanks so much for the rotation with cardio that you posted on STS forum...you are definitely keeping me busy. I am wondering if you have an update on when your pull up tower will be available? I am really looking forward to having one for all those pull ups and chin ups!

Thanks!
 
Hi Sharihart! Thanks for your interest. I so much wish that I could answer that for you with a date, however, I just don't have one yet. I do know that we are close. Wish I could have a better answer for you :(

I was watching the Today show this morning, and they did a piece rating "as seen on tv" fitness equipment. They did the Iron Gym, which is the pull-up bar you put in your door, but doesn't require you "installing" it. It hooks on and uses physics to stay in place. Then you stick it in the closet or under the bed or wherever (unless you choose to leave it there). They actually said it was a solid piece - they gave it the highest vote of the things they tested out. It's also available at Target, Modell's and probably other places and only costs $30. Both Jenna and Matt did chin-ups with it, and Jenna even flipped over from it and did a plank with a spotter and that thing didn't move. They had a fitness person test them out and she also gave it a "buy" rating. I may just get one of those, as there has been no update at all on the pull-up tower, so who knows when that may come out. If the tower comes out later, I can buy it later (or not) - at least this would do well for now and be inexpensive

Hey NY25,

I purchased one a few weeks ago and it is simple. It takes 5 minutes to assemble and fits right onto the door. For $30 dollars, you get bang for your buck. I feel safe and steady using it. I will have to put my feet on a chair since I'm not able to pull up my body weight at this time, but that is fine with me for now. I'll work my way up to that.

I've had my Iron Gym for a few months now and really like it, although I still can't do one unassisted pull-up!

I found mine at Bed Bath and Beyond, using a coupon which they sent in the mail, bringing it down to $20 and no shipping.

I only had a choice of 2 doorways in my small apt, so it went in the bathroom door! I have a dresser in the hallway that I put my feet on to assist me. I'm sure I look comical. I will be checking out Cathe's Power Tower so I don't have to run to the bathroom when it's pull-up time!
 
Yeah, my doors are 8' tall so it is pretty funny to see me attempt this! The IronGym though is solid and a good investment.
