JML Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar delivered FREE!

The adverts looked naff and when my dad bought one I laughed and said that "someone had to fall for it!" But - it's actually very good! It's certainly sturdy and is fitted within seconds to a door frame. Initially I was dubious as to whether it would take my weight and did a fair bit of yanking to test it out, but it stayed in place. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best and this is a great example of this. I've used this a fair few times now and it's a fantastic solution for those who want to do some physical training but don't have the space for equipment or a large budget. It enables you to perform several exercises all using the one item. It can be left on the doorframe, and although you won't be able to close the door - it's a gentle reminder that the equipment is there to be used and you do a few pull-ups every time you walk though. It's not just for doorframes either, it can be placed on the floor and used for all manner of other excersises too such as press-ups and sit ups. In a nutshell: JML are famed for producing low quality, low price products. But it seems that they have finally come up with something which is well made and functions perfectly. I reckon plenty of these will be unwrapped on Christmas morning, and unlike many other fab fitness crazes (remember `Thighmaster'?) - I think that this will get used.

This is the same iron gym as advertised on JML only cheaper!! I was a bit worried about it damaging the door frame but it transfers the weight so you are not pulling down on the door frame but pushing against it. Feels very sturdy with my full weight on it (12 stone). Good variety of grip positions. Can be used for press ups and sit ups as well, although the tricep dips are a bit of a waste of time as you get very little movement length.

I am a female of 8 and a half stone and don't want bulging biceps; I just want some strength in my upper body. I go running several times a week which is great for the lower body, but obviously not so helpful for the upper. I never was a gym bunny, so this item seemed ideal to me. When it arrived I was initially put off by said bulging-bicep model on the box and instruction leaflet, however, the Iron Gym is very easy to put together and fits easily over the door. The only minus was that I couldn't fit the safety wedge over my door frames as there is nowhere for the metal to slide behind the frame. This wasn't a problem though, as it remains firmly on the door without the wedge. As another reviewer mentioned, I find it better to just leave it on the door frame as I can just have a few pull-ups when I go through, without it being an actual 'session'. Only thing with leaving it up is that my husband #6ft 2in# has to duck every time he goes under! I am enjoying using the Iron Gym and it is really helping to build strength in my shoulders and arms - and firm up those bingo wings! Great product, and good value.

Purchased this as I wanted a bar that wouldn't damage the door frame and so far it has performed admirably; with not a single scratch or mark on the frame after a few weeks of regular use. I like the fact that it's much quicker to set up and take down than a screw-in bar and has a few extra grip options. It does flex a bit as you put your weight on it, which is a little unnerving the first couple of times, but has been supporting my weight (~90kg) without any problems.

Comes with basic instructions to assemble, but still easy to follow, in the combined instruction and workout booklet. Some spare nuts and bolts, which is no doubt a good idea as long as you keep them safe. The unit is very sturdy and supports my weight (100kgs) well. One thing to think about is do you have you a doorway in which this will fit as the bar extends slightly beyond the door surround (93.5cm long) so you need a doorway with a bit of space each side. As you hang beneath a 6'6" door way you need to bend your knees to keep them off the floor, however this makes it easy to give a little boost when you get to the end of a set at exhaustion. This is the only bit of equipment you need when following a body weight exercise regime of press ups, squats/lunges, sit ups, burpees and of course chins. With the included tools you can also disassemble and pack it in your luggage to take on holiday to avoid the resort's gym fees. Bear in mind however that it weighs just under 2kgs for your miserly baggage allowance! All in all a good buy.

I've been attending the gym for months and months now and have been desperately trying to gain more muscle and failing. I then saw the advert for the Iron Gym and thought that I'd give it a go as it's a reasonable price. Well what a great buy it has been! In the few months I have had it my family have commented on how I'm becoming much bigger and broader and with it hanging from my door I can use it as and when. It has been the best buy I have made and because it has multi functions it's ideal for doing push ups too. I've found the product so good that I have quit my gym and am reaping the benefits physically and financially! For me, I would recommend this to everyone in a flash, and while I write this my brothers own Iron Gym has arrived too! Buy it, you wont regret it!!

This product is absaloutely amazing; It's simple to set up, easy to put on the door frame, it's really tough and it doesn't leave marks on the wall. Once you've put all the peices together and have tightened it up so it's nice and sturdy, you just literally flip it over the back doorframe, with the horizontal bar laying on the front of the doorframe and that's your pull up bar sorted. Was very suprised at how sturdy and secure it was and now i've had it for half a year it's still rock solid. Something they don't mention in the ads is it's also great for hanging coat-hangers / clothes onto it! My mum used to just hang clothes on the doorframe, but if anyone walked past the clothes would just fall down, but now with the Iron Gym they no longer fall down! I've lost the amount of times I have come downstairs and my mum has set it up to hang her clothes onto it, which makes me laugh but hey, if it's good for that then why not? Overall: great product, and would recommend it to all.

Im a University student in a rented house, so i couldn't attach a chin up bar, in the conventional manner (screw into door frame). So that was the original reason for me purchasing this product, that it attaches without screws or anything and can be easily placed on the door frame and removed. So the first thing ill say, is it fulfilled that criteria, its brilliant, in holds on brilliantly. Also, the product comes with a little leaflet that tells all about the different work outs, now i didnt really think about that when buying it, but wow it really is a total upper body workout and its so easy, really easy, just place on the floor or door frame and off you go, its an amazing product and i would recommend it to everyone!

I have been looking for home workout equiptment for a little while now and i stumbled upon this item, and for the price i thought i had nothing to loose. I bought it from Amazon and the item arrived in 2 days which was fantastic. Really easy to assemble took me about 5 minutes and im not the best with my hands. It was so easy to put the iron gym onto my door frame really quick and simple. I took a while testing it out by pulling on it as i really didnt want my door frame to snap of. After a few moments i tried it out with my full weight and it was like it was nailed into the wall. There was no movment and the door frame didnt even look to be under any strain at all! The Chin ups are great on the iron gym really do a good work out on most of your upper body. You have 3 diffrent grip types The press ups are ok as well the dips arent the best but after a few you can feel your arms working. Sit ups i havent really done to many of these on the iron gym so dont really want to give it a verdict. Overall i am extremely happy with my purchase of the iron gym and can see me using it in the future alot. i have already reccomened it to a friend.

baught this product about 4 months ago very well made, well priced and very good value. its still sturdy and think its the best thing for overall body strenght for beginers
