 BEST WALL-MOUNT PULL UP BAR! GREAT FOR P90X! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! July 21, 2010
Johnny (San Francisco, CA)
I bought this pull up bar because I want to permanently mount it on a wall. I had 2 options where to mount: solid wall or dry wall. I opted to mount on drywall in my workout room. However, it is not recommended to be mounted on a dry wall as they stated. Therefore, I first mounted a solid wood base on the dry wall to establish a foundation. Then, I screwed in the 2 mounting brackets (4 bolts per bracket) into my wood base. Installation was rather simple. I was done in less than 30 minutes (including the based and pull up bar installation).
Here are features of the bar that I like the most:
- Professionally made, sturdy and solid once mounted
- Thick steel tubing
- Can handle my 240 lb. weight
- Wide and Neutral grips are perfect for P90x workouts
I highly recommend this pull up bar if you are looking for something to mount permanently on a wall. It's great for my P90X workouts!
 Cant even install June 27, 2010

Bought it and now its just sitting here, shipping it back for a refund would not be worth it since I'd have to pay a ton of shipping and get back a fraction of what I paid for it. Get it but beware it's hard to install.
 Sturdy, but poorly designed. May 11, 2010
Michael Neal
As others have mentioned, this bar is not 16" on center. I mounted the brackets on the wall first (can be done with a short 2x4 or 1x4 running vertically instead of horizontally), so I did not have a large 2x8 or 2x10 spanning the wall. Then I drilled 2 new holes in the connecting bar and positioned it above the wall mounted brackets. It is solid, but the design could be better. For instance, there could be a couple of extra holed drilled in the connecting (pull up) bar to accomodate different widths. The brackets could be designed to give more holes in a straight line vertically instead of 4 holes that could not connect to the wall stud. Bottom line, it was cheaper than most options.
 Not as sturdy as it looks April 14, 2010

Overall I am satisfied with this pull up bar for my garage. I mounted it in the block wall and it hasn't moved an inch. My complaint is that after installing one of the supports I hung from the end to check my mounting job and the handle that sticks straight out bent down. The square tubing remained straight and perpendicular to the wall, it was only the cylindrical pipe with the rubber grip which bent. I only weigh 170lbs so I was surprised to see this happen. I was able to straighten it and when hanging from both there is no movement but that's pretty flimsy in my opinion.
Time Consuming Install, But Great Value April 12, 2010

I agree with the previous reviewers who indicated the installation is far more time consuming than it should have been. Overall, however, the bar is high quality and a good deal for the money.
I ended up attaching a 2x8 (picked up a piece of scrap from Home Depot) to three different wall studs with three carriage bolts each. Then I attached the bar directly to the 2x8 with the 8 bolts that came with the bar. I weight about 170', and after going real easy on it the first few times, I'm pretty comfortable it's not coming down. It's critical though to get those carriage bolts well centered on the studs and drill the holes close enough to the bolts thread size that you don't crack the stud itself.
One thing I don't like is that the bar attaches to the support from underneath (see the photo) so that the only thing holding the actual bar to the mount is the two supplied bolts and nuts. Doesn't instill a lot of confidence, frankly. Be sure to use large washers on the top of the support so the nuts don't want to pull down through the hold with your full body weight on it.
One last thing - I bought the product here on Amazon, and when it arrived, the box was beaten up pretty badly and some of the washers that were included had fallen out the holes in the box. Fortunately, I was going to replace them anyway with something larger and of better quality.
So with the couple of hours it took to install the bar, I'm finally using it consistently and very glad I bought it. Already getting stronger with it and it's great to have the variety of the various pull ups as part of my home workout again.
