Gravity Fitness Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar

A Doorway Pull Up Bar differs ever so slightly from a door frame in that it rests inside the frame of the door. A Doorway Pull Up Bar uses friction to clamp itself between the two long ends of the doorway, without using any clamps. Care must be taken than the Doorway Pull Up Bar has enough tension to properly adhere to the door frame. Needless to say, these are less reliable and less safe than Door Frame Pull Up Bars. They are a lot cheaper, however. Door Frame Pull Up Handles It can be screwed in place, which increases the maximum load it can take, but I preferred to use the removable method. I found it left a light indent on wallpaper, so there’s a chance it’ll leave minor marks on your doorframe, although that may just be the price you have to pay for a secure bar and I found this bar reassuringly stable. For someone wanting to workout at home with extremely limited space, then the Trend-Welt Pull-Up Bar provides good value and excellent functionality. It takes up little space in the doorframe and can be removed when not needed. It just screws into place. However, as noted above, there are some risks with the installation. However, if space is at a premium, it’s still a great option. The Trend-Welt pull-up bar is the highest rated bar of the telescopic bar types which fit between the door frame without the need for fixings.

To tighten the bar to the door frame you now need to rotate the central section of the bar (be sure to adapt your grip to the direction of tightening). Because the central section is connected to the telescopic arms via a screw thread, tightening this will rotate both of the telescopic arms in a direction which extends the width of the whole bar and tightens the bar within the frame.

Pull-Up Mate vs Gravity Fitness Bar Review: Conclusions Both are very similarly sized and proportioned, with the Gravity Fitness taking up a little bit more ground space, while the Pull-Up Mate takes up a bit more height. We doubt it would make much of a difference in a home gym situation.
