The Perfect Fitness Multi-Gym Elite is an over-the-door pull-up bar rated to 300 lb, with padded neutral, wide and chin-up grips and rubber door bumpers; it also flips to the floor for push-ups, dips and sit-ups. GamerBody, after 30 days, called it the most stable doorway bar it had used and found the bumpers left no marks on the frame, and Chris Pinedo of Lean With Style likewise found it sturdy for pull-ups and kind to the door. Both found it weaker as a floor station: Pinedo said dips have very little range of motion, and GamerBody uses it only for pull-ups. It suits people who mainly want steady pull-ups on a door they care about; anyone wanting a real dip station should look elsewhere.

Strengths
  • — GamerBody called it the most stable doorway bar it has used, even at 185 lb
  • — Door bumpers left no marks or dents in either reviewer's door frame
  • — Standard grips sit nine inches out from the wall, so hands clear the frame
Watch-outs
  • — Dips on the floor have very little range of motion
  • — At about 8 lb it is bulky to put up and take down often
  • — Sit-up mode slipped on a hardwood floor in Chris Pinedo's test

1 sourceall derived$35.99as of Oct 17

The ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar trades the Iron Gym's simplicity for grip variety, offering eight cushioned foam grip positions for wide, hammer, close, and neutral pulls plus hanging ab work. Its wider, longer bar is noticeably more comfortable for taller users, it fits doorways from 24 to 39 inches, and it installs without drilling for around $36. Reviewers like the stability and grip options, though it can mark or stain the door frame and a minority report durability concerns.

Strengths
  • — Eight cushioned foam grip positions for varied pull-up angles
  • — Wider, longer bar is more comfortable for taller users
  • — Fits a wide 24-39 inch door-frame range
Watch-outs
  • — Can damage or stain the door frame
  • — A minority of users report the bar breaking under use

How they stack up

Perfect Fitness Multi-Gym Doorway Pull Up Bar Elite

Like the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar and the Pullup & Dip Doorway Pull-Up Bar, it hangs over the door without drilling and also works on the floor, but both of its reviewers rated its dips as weak. Its door-width range of 29 to 39 inches and padded neutral, wide and chin-up grips make it an alternative to the ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar for buyers who care more about stability and door protection than grip count.

ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar

The grip-variety pick with eight foam grips versus the Iron Gym Total Upper Body's three, and a wider bar that suits taller users better. Its weight rating sits below the Ally Peaks and the Pullup & Dip, and unlike the Pullup & Dip it does not double as a floor dip station.
