The only downside is you’ll need to check if this hook pull-up bar fits your doorway – there was only one place in my house I could hang it properly. The foam covering the handles makes them easy to grip and comfortable to use, and the foam on the buffers protect the walls from scuff marks. The three grip options (wide, narrow and neutral) are great for back and core workouts alike, and I’ve used it for a variety of pull-ups, chin-ups and hanging abs exercises. You’ll need a cupboard to fit its awkward L shape, or sling it under a table in the garage like I do. It only takes a few seconds to attach and remove, but think about where you’ll store it – at 38.6in x 18in x 10.6in (54.2cm x 29.4cm x 9.2cm), it’s bulky and awkwardly shaped. The Adidas Door Gym is simple to set up: its shelf sits on top of the door frame and foam-covered buffers push against the walls either side to secure it into place. All the same, the Corength bar is an affordable option and won’t let you down-literally. It’s easier to take down and much easier to store than my trusty Adidas Door Gym (below), but I would miss the three grip options on the Adidas model in the long term. I wouldn’t use it for more dynamic gymnastics moves like muscle-ups and kipping pull-ups, though. Once in place, it’s rock solid, and I felt secure performing strict pull-ups, chin-ups and hanging abs exercises. I found the best way of installing it was to hold both ends level with my palms, then angle my wrists awkwardly inwards so I could twist the central rubber bar with my fingers. Getting it into position isn’t as easy as I would have liked. I found it left a light indent on wallpaper, so there’s a chance it’ll leave minor marks on your doorframe, although that may just be the price you have to pay for a secure bar and I found this bar reassuringly stable. It can be screwed in place, which increases the maximum load it can take, but I preferred to use the removable method. A bedroom nook proved to be the only place it would fit. However, the product I was sent to test was the larger of the two and I found there weren’t any doorways large enough to accommodate it. This door-mounted pull-up bar is sturdy and comes in two sizes-65cm-95cm (25.5in-37.4in) and 95cm-120cm (37.4in-47.2in)-to suit all homes.
