Summary: Awesome chin up bar... get one!!
Comment: I actually purchased a different product than this one initially, for my almost 13-year-old son for Christmas. After it arrived we realized it wouldn't work for our doorframes so bought this one instead (I did not order from Amazon, though -- got this one from RiteAid for $29.99 and didn't have to pay shipping!)
My son put it together himself in under 10 minutes and is happily chinning away... it is easy to hang and does not mar the doorframes (which makes me -- Mom -- happy!!) And he's getting some fun exercise after school.
I do recommend it and it seems very sturdy. He's 5'6" and weighs about 110 and likes it very much.

Summary: Pull Up Bar
Comment: I was excited to see this product on tv, but I had some doubts! So I bought it and I put it to the test. By the time it was assembled and installed on the door's frame it was too low to the ground to be effective as a pull up bar even though I am only 5'10"! it also did not feel secure on the frame of the door, and it did not feel safe to use. The bottom line I am not happy with this product and I do not recommend it.

Summary: Fabbed Extended Long Bar for Iron Gym - Works great!
Comment: This works like a charm.
I wanted to use this where I workout at also, and it was not wide enough for the doorways.
Tried finding the 'enclosed offer' for the extended long bar but it did not exist. Could not find on Internet either, so I modified it as follows:
Extended Long Bar modification.
Allows Iron Gym to be used in wider doorways!
Parts at Home Depot:
(2)Galvanized 1/2"x12" rigid conduit pipe = $3.31 x2
(2)Galvanized 1/2" Pipe Coupler = $1.33 x2
I have uploaded pics of this in the 'user uploaded images' for the iron gym.
That being said, the Iron Gym works great for me. I use this at home and at the fitness center. I like using at the fitness center because the doorways are wider and taller.
The Iron Gym easily attaches to the clips on my backpack and is light.
I also use 5lbs ankle weights (10lbs total) for added training (but not recommended if you are a beginner)
It is ok for sit-ups but seems to slip up on the door frame. I have to really concentrate on holding it with my feet. Therefore, I do not use it much for this purpose.
I do use it for the push-ups as I can get 'deeper' push ups.
Useless for dips. Commercial cracks me up showing the dips. Dips need to be full range of motion in near upright position which this cannot do.
For doing different pull-ups this is great. I have found that this is identical to the 'Creative Fitness Door Gym' in which they make little extension bars for wider doorways, but have read that the extensions are useless as they barely screw in to the ends of the bars. Actually got the idea for the mod from someone else, but improved on it somewhat.

Summary: No real complaints
Comment: I purchased this product about a month ago. I didn't have any problems with stripping the screws like some have said. I've found it to be sturdy enough to support my 220lb frame for all three exercises. It was pretty easy to put together. My only complaint is that it has left some marks above the door frame (little black marks that almost look like cracks in the wall, but they aren't). These marks don't rub off so I'm not sure if they're permanent or not. You may want to use on a wall that is dark in color or put something up between the wall and the top support bar.
