Pullup Bar

I have the old fashioned metal bar that you screw plates into the door frame to attach.

I am looking for the one that stays on the door through the tension you place on the handles. Basically one of these
Pull Up Bar.

I can't seem to find any others through google, so before I go spending 100.00 bucks on a pullup bar, anyone know where they sell something like this for cheaper?

There's one called the Door Gym that usually goes for about 60 bucks. It's on Amazon, who also have more than one maker of this kind of thing. They're also made by Everlast and a few other companies too.

Yeah, the Door Gym rocks. I don't have one, but my friend does. Works well.

I have a Door Gym... recent purchase. I like it so far, very sturdy feel and smart design.

Door gym is good, but if you want to alter your grips it's pretty difficult to do...seems kinda cheapish and I could see it coming apart after 6 months, mine started to loosen... If you have any interest in ever taking your pull up bar with you, I can't recommend this enough...I bought it and love it, it hangs off my loft 99% of the time, but occasionally if I want to go run on the track and do a circuit with pull ups ill bring it (aka never)...

looks like it's out of stock...sorry.

I ended up going with the $100.00 item. It's the only one that will fit my doors.

I'll update with a report on how bad I got ripped off.

it looks like it would be a pain to setup and level, is it?

Plans to build your own for roughly $20 here . Haven't built it, don't know how well it works, but it looks solid.
