6 Best Door Gyms for Quick Workouts

November 29, 2010No Comments

I have always been skeptical of door gyms. It’s so easy to fall in love with get fit quick schemes, only to take eyes of the ball. In order to lose weight, you are going to have to suffer. I mean it in a good way. You can’t see fast results if you take it easy just as you won’t lose fat if you keep taking those fatty foods. The good news here is that you know you are burning calories when you sweat and are out of breath. And you don’t need a huge home gym to get your heart pumping and start burning calories.

Door gyms are cool resistance solutions that attach to your door and make it easy to get a quick workout in from the comfort of your home. With that in mind, here are the best door gyms you can use to start getting fit right from your room:

TRX Suspension Training Pro Pack: the ultimate training tool for those who spend a lot of time outdoors or just want to get some workout at the comfort of their home. It gives you a lot of flexibility and is very strong. Lets you use your body’s weight to push it during your workout.

Weider X-Factor Door Gym

Weider X-Factor Door Gym: it’s really a toss up between this model and Jake Tower. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. In this case, Weider X-Factor has more reach and gives you more room to maneuver. I did find Jake Tower more intense though.

Body by Jake Tower 200

Body by Jake Tower 200: if you have watched TV lately, there is a good chance you have seen all the ads about this product. It comes with everything you need to get a tough workout in from the comfort of your home. Attaches to any door and doesn’t damage it. The only downside would be that some customers have had some issues with the bands.

Lifeline USA Jungle Gym

Lifeline USA Jungle Gym: if you are not looking for one of those fancy door gyms, you can always take your chance with this unit. It’s pretty easy to install and very portable too.

Perfect Pullup: easy to install on any door but it gives you the flexibility to do pull ups and chin ups. It is flexible and great for beginners.
