I have had the iron gym for about a month. I previously had the Gold’s Pull-up Bar, which looks similar, but did not fit in my doorway and returned it. This product does work well for pull-ups, chin-ups, and with the ab-straps (which I purchased separately) you can get an ab workout. The two main problems I found with the product are:

1) It has only one (not very substantial) metal safety wedge, which is supposed to secure the bar in place above the door frame. My frame is very narrow and the bar does hang over quite a bit. This safety wedge is inefficient. The Iron Gym should come with at least 3 or 4 of these metal safety wedges. I tried to find a store that handles the wedges and contacted the distributor, but no one seems to be able to give me any info. on how to purchase additional safety wedges.

2) The protective black sleeves on the bars that are supposed to protect the door frame from damage when using the Iron Gym are insufficent. After less than a month of use they are deteriorating and falling off. This is another item that the stores handling the product or the distributor should have available for purchase.

Guys, I’ve finally tried the Iron Gym…I love it.
Though, I couldn’t do the pull ups, since I don’t have an appropriate door to do them on!
MY boyfriend’s going to get a strong bar to put on top of my door, so I can do the pull ups.
Best thing about this product is the fact that it comes with the Ab Straps! They are not shipped seperately. Guess being in South Afica has its perks…Lol

Will keep u all posted on my exercise results…give me a month. Ciao!

Guys, I bought the Iron Gym today, after reading your reviews. It was a toss between the iron gym and the Hip Hop Abs.
I went for the Iron Gym. So, I’ll try it out tonight and tell you all about it later.
It only cost me R199 (South African rand), which is not too much, it’s rather quiet affordable!

Just bought this pull up bar at target. Can only do 1 pull-up right now so I bought it so I can build up my strength and tone upper body. I tried every hand position and this is awesome. I love it. The dips weren’t doing much for me so I got creative. I placed the bar on a chair, placed my feet up on a bed (you can use another chair or a stepping stool) to increase the intensity and bam, I had a great tricep workout. Pullups are my greatest weakness so I’m looking forward to being able to do 10

Here is a tip, they are all priced the same, so i went to bed bath and beyond and used a 20% coupon and get it less expensive than anyother place. it is easy to build, I have not used it yet, but it looks great on my door

I love this gym, I got it for Christmas, its been almost two weeks I’ve gained close to 5 lbs of muscle, my goal is 200 lbs by the end of this coming summer and I’m sure that this gym will get me there, I only have 25 lbs to go! I’m putting in somewhere close to hour of time with this thing a day! Love it! Thank you Iron Gym!
