With a standard 2x4 wall, the fit is very well. Granted, the hardware wasn't ideal, but the holes did line up and I was able to get it together relatively quickly. To suggest an improvement, they'd use heavier gauge bolts. However, once all the bolts are tight, the structure is very sound and has little sway in use.I bought this unit for the extra height, and its worked out well. Its a full stretch to grab the bar (6 feet tall), and I don't hit my head on the 8 foot ceiling.I have poplar trim, and after a week of daily use, I haven't seen any marks or indentations.The parts were packaged well with protective plastic and foam, and the build instructions are adequate. The most useful is the photo of the finished unit with bolts in place so you see how they intend it to look.I'd buy again or recommend to a friend.

I was pleasantly surprised when I tried out my new "GoFit Elevated Chin Up Station" - it is very sturdy (not by commercial standards but compared to other door mounted pull-up bars); and it's tall enough for me to comfortably do pull-ups. I'm 6'2'' an 220lbs, and the chin-up station is sturdy enough to hold me. At its highest setting, the bar handles are actually above my door frame, which is something that the other doorway pull-up bars cannot match (at least the ones that I've seen). With competing doorway mounted pull-up bars, my knees practically drag on the floor.I buy and sell a lot of weightlifting equipment, and have been a weightlifter for 20+ years. I'd definitely recommend this doorway mounted pull-up bar over the others that I've tried and returned over the years.

Based on other reviewer comments, I verified before starting that I had all of the screws, nuts, washers. Everything was there :) Followed the directions, which states NOT to tighten any screws until it was fully assembled. In fact, I mounted the chin up bar in the door before tightening some of the screws, just to make sure it was level with the door I was using.

This is the best doorway pull up bar that I have used. It is offset from the doorway which allow you more room to do the exercises, it is elevated so you can stand up vs kneeling and it is a superior design.
Kudos to GoFit.

AMAZING PRODUCT! INSTANT RESULTS. This device is magnificent!
I work in construction and usually come home with a sore lower back from picking stuff up.
Ever since I started doing chin ups at the park the pain was gone. But since I live in Quebec, it's freezing 6 months a year and I can't go train.
But now with this ,I can do chin ups in the morning and at night, all the time, at ideal temperature inside my own house, with my shirt off.
I see instant results and the back pain is completely gone.

This is a God send.
It is very stable and locks in solidly.
I've got Lebon James shoulders now :)
Ready for the beach!

I received the station today. Had no problem putting it together. All you need is a 10mm open end wrench and a 10mm socket & ratchet wrench. Piece of cake. After I put it together and mounted it on the door found out I could not do even 1 chin up. Bummer. Curious to see how long it will take me to at least do 1 chin up. Seems my serratus anterior muscles are weaker then I thought.

Product arrived in good condition, each piece of metal tube was individually wrapped in plastic.No missing pieces, correct number of screws and nuts, with 2 extra washers.However, putting it together using their included mini-wrenches was a less than pleasant experience. Would be a whole lot easier if you had your own 10mm wrenches.There is a good amount of padding, real thick, on all points of contact with the doorframe. So much so, that when I mounted it on my doorframe, the plastic back piece that is supposed to sit against the wall above the door was not sitting flush against the wall. Still, it functions just fine for its purpose so far.

This came in faster than I expected in times of COVID, and was also one of the few avaialble that didnt suck. This has multiple grips, and functions for use, unlike most. I have a couple slings handing so I can use it to stretch, and a couple of my carabiners is all it takes to attach those slings to the pullup bar.It was easy to assemble, and includes everything you need to be able to do so. Theres a really nice spiral bound book helping people to know how to use it. My roommate is a bit heavy for this, they are ~220 pounds, but it works amazing for me, and I weigh almost 170 pounds.Would recommend for anyone trying to get fit!
