i'm looking to expand my home gym (currently a collection of free weights + an elliptical) & i think i need to add something that reall works my back/lats. i've come up with this option:
http://www.doorgym.net/ anyone have any experience w/ this? i'd prefer this over a tower due to the space requirements of a tower. thoughts?

Re: Door Gym--anybody try it/own it?
thats pretty sweet looking. i have one on my door that is fixed on there, this one u can take off. i had to put it up pretty high so i didn't walk into it and now when i do pullups i'm afraid of bashing my face into the door jamb.
this looks like a good buy

as long as it doesnt pull the framing off the door frame or some crap like make marks on your wall, it looks pretty cool just for the pullups and hanging leg raises you can do with it.
pullups are some of the best exercises you can do for upper body and I do them basically every back workout. so in summary, that thing looks like it could have potential to not suck too much.

I would question their other claims just based on the statement that this device "installs in one second."

just because of the fact it can be put on and taken off in a second with no damage to the frame (if it does what it says), that is a big IF obviously.

As I opened this thread I was picturing Morty Seinfeld going crazy on the door with his workout contraption in Jerry's apartment at 5:30 in the morning.

[/ QUOTE ] I bought this, it's ok, not very stable, doesn't allow you to use adequate spacing for pulls ups, chin ups, it only has like one setting basically where they put the foam pads, so you are locked into doing pulls where they want....i.e. sometimes i wnat to do wide, sometimes i want shoulder width, closed grip, chin up, etc, i recently upgraded to the pull up bar by this guy/site www.againfaster.com, it's getting shipped to me so i can tell you in a few days, a tower would be the [censored] but i don't have the room either...

Re: Door Gym--anybody try it/own it?
I have one of these that I bought from Champs Sports ~10 years ago. I've used it in several different apartments/houses and I never had a significant problem.
It will cause some minor scrapes/fatigue to the top of the doorway, but nothing major. I had another problem with a place where the doorway was an abnormal size so it was resting on a non-padded part. I think it would of caused damage if I had used it on that door. Overall I endorse this product.
