Doorway Pull Up Bar

lbrown73 · March 2014

Hi everyone! I live in an apartment complex that does have a small fitness center, but it mostly contains cardio equipment. I'm looking into buying a doorway pull up bar that does not require mounting, since my apartment complex will consider that damage to the property. If you have found one you like that is sturdy and not too expensive, let me know! I appreciate any suggestions you may have. Oh, I currently weigh 155 lbs.

At that weight any bar will do, even the weakest and flimsiest are rated to 250 lbs.

The better ones (not necessarily most expensive, Amazon has some good cheap ones) are rated to 300 lbs or even more.

If your molding is painted chances are you'll have to do some touch up paint when you are ready to move, this is true for pretty much all doorway bars.

This one has worked great for us:

Your doors must have molding for it to work though.

My doors do have moulding, so maybe I'll check this out. Thanks for the recommendation!

I just got one last week. I got the Jfit bar from Amazon, great price, works great, no need to use screws or install brackets, hubby is 240 lbs and it is very sturdy.
