Recently, I saw a commercial on Iron Gym pull up bar on TV, and I decided to give it a try. For those of you not familiar with Iron Gym’s Workout bar, it’s an exercise bar that lets you do multiple workouts without having to buy any extra piece of equipment. I actually bought the extreme edition that supposedly gives you a better workout. This exercise bar is a push up, pull up, and sit up equipment all in one.

My Experience:

Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar was easy to assemble. It took me about 10 minutes to put it together. The directions that came in the package were clear enough, but you don’t really need too many directions to put the bar together. Installing the bar took a bit of work.  You want to make sure you choose a door that lets you maneuver easily once you put this bar up. Before I put it up, I was a bit skeptical about it being able to handle my weight. After all, the last thing you want to do is fall on your head when trying to do a pull up. But Iron Gym Workout Bar is very solid. I have been using it for a while, and it has been handling my weight easily.

I love doing crunches with this cool gadget. It’s easy to install at your door, and you can do crunches without needing anything extra. I did buy an exercise mat to help my back a bit. But that’s all. You can also use this for push ups. I do prefer the Perfect Pushup to this one, but if you don’t want to spend additional money on the Perfect Pushup, this will do.

Overall, Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar extreme edition is a great way to get a quick workout right at your home. It’s easy to install and is relatively cheap. Best of all, unlike other workout bars, it feels secure. If you are looking for a handy workout gadget, this is one you shoould try.
