My Portable Pull-up Bar – My 5-Minute Push-Pull Workout

This is a very good piece of equipment, and of decent quality. We beat the heck out of it, too. We primarily use this as a part of a hing-impact fitness boot camp circuit. As such, it gets constant use, and from women who are just at 100 lbs to men who are mid to high 200's. It stores nicely and is easy to set up. We use it on top of fitness mats and it is pretty steady. Though I haven't tried it, I would be curious to see how it performs as far as not sliding around on a hard floor. Overall, a very good investment. While it hasn't occurred with us, I can see how the latches might wear over time as was stated in some of the other reviews, but we have not experienced this to this point. We also like the fact that the hand grips can be adjusted to allow for different builds.The max weight is stated as 300 lbs, but we've had a person a tad north of 300 using it and it didn't budge. The only hiccup we had was that one of the plastic feet popped out one day when it was being put away, but we popped it back in and kept moving. Pros: Solidly made and sturdy Easy to put away and set up Cons: Would be nice to have rubber feet for use on hard floors

I picked up one of these because I know 3 other people that have them and they work very well. Most of them are really nice and sturdy, well aligned and comfortable. I happened to get one that was slightly less perfect... still fully functional and strong, especially when opened... just not 100% perfect like my friends'. Pros: Sturdy, Well designed, Folds up for easy storage, Makes inverted rows easier, Portable

It’s not a sophisticated piece of workout equipment, but does exactly what it’s made for. That said, I feel like it’s a bit pricey, but it was the simplest and easiest equipment that I saw listed to incorporate inverted rows into my body weight training. Easy to set up and fold. It’s pretty big so wouldn’t fit in a small coat closet. Sturdy and comfortable to use.

This is an excellent inverted pull-up bar. It's high enough that you can get a full arm extension. It's sturdy, easy to fold, and well-designed. I use mine on a rug-covered floor and have never had any problems with stability or slipping. If you get to the point where doing three sets of 50 inverted pull-ups on this bar is too easy (and you will already be quite strong at this point), you can try elevating your legs by resting on a chair to increase the weight load. It's maybe a little pricey for what it is, but it is so solid and well-designed I expect it to last me for my lifetime. So from that perspective it is probably quite cheap for the use you can get out of it. I don't use the pushup bars and didn't even bother to attach them (I just do regular pushups), so I have no comments about that part of the equipment.

This product does what it's supposed to. It allows you to work up to doing pull ups by doing inverted rows or "let me ups" without access to a squat rack or power rack/cage. It is made of metal so the pieces themselves are sturdy. It's wide enough for everyone that should be using it to fit underneath and do the moves. I am 5'8" and have long arms and it is plenty tall enough for me to extend fully as well. The Work Horse also folds up easily so it could be put in a large closet, under the bed, or prop it against the wall. But, it is not a small apparatus so don't buy it thinking that you can put it in a coat closet because it is much too large for that. My only real complaint is that the feet are hard plastic so the unit slides around on my hardwood floors while I'm using it. I had to get a very thin yoga mat to place underneath it. This problem could easily be solved if the feet were made of rubber (even better if the rubber had a bit of tread for grip). Without that modification being made I can't recommend you purchase this if you have hardwood floors unless you want to buy a mat or rub for it to sit on when you use it as I don't think it's safe to do body weight training while the Work Horse scoots around your room. For $100 the manufacturers owe it to the buyer to provide a better solution for the feet.

I wanted to get this so that I could get a good back workout. I don't belong to a gym and I don't have anywhere to do pullups and I didn't want to get an over the door pull up bar because I live in an old house that doesn't have standard door frames. So, I ordered the Work Horse Pull Up bar. I can do the pullups on this, but they aren't very easy for me (which is exactly what I wanted). I don't have a whole lot of upper body strength and this is perfect for me. The bar is very sturdy and was easy to put together too. It also provides a great forearm workout as well.

This machine is okay... I use this occasionally. The pros: assembly was pretty easy and hardly took any time at all it is sturdy enough to do pull ups on (as pictured) and does not wobble it can fold up to be flat for easy storage the cons: the screw in clamp that holds the stand in the triangle wiggles a bit when doing push ups (mind you i do push ups on the top bar instead of on the ground bars where you're supposed to) box came damaged and part of the metal frame was bent and had to be "reworked" the good or bad (depending on how you feel) the metal is pretty light weight so depending on how you put your weight on this it can feel wobbly (pull ups seems sturdy, push ups on the top bar seems wobbly) but it can be a good thing if you plan to be taking it out to use it and then fold it up to stow it.

Good design, as I wanted something to use in my bedroom during the frigid winter months. Folds for easy storage under the bed. I need to do inverted rows, to balance out the push ups, which are made easier for my wrists, due to the floor handles. It is ideal for inverted rows. I am just under 6' and the bar is slightly out of palm reach, which is fine. I wear 34-35 length shirt sleeves, for reference. I can feel my back touching the top bar at full extension when doing push ups inside the frame, but you can opt to do them from outside the frame, and the frame is still stable. Good product!
