Garren Fitness Maximiza Plus Pull Up Bar – Wide Doorway Pullup Bar/Chinup Bar with 3 Sets of Screw-in Door-Mounts – Only for Doors Wider Than 35 Inches (Adjustable Width 35 to 50 Inches)

The Garren pull-up bar was exactly as advertised and even better than I expected. I was nervous ordering a wide bar for an entry way in my home both because of the distance that I needed it to span (50") and also causing any damage to my walls. However, this bar worked very well. It was relatively easy to install, although I do recommend that you use a level to make sure that everything is lined up. It fastened to the wall using 4 screws on each side and once the bar itself was extended and anchored to the brackets it feels extremely sturdy, even near the widest settings. I also appreciate that once it is time to remove the bar and brackets, it will be simple to plug the screw holes, similar to anything that you would hang on your wall. In total I think it took me about 15 minutes to pick a spot to install it, check for stud that would be able to support weight, line everything up and drill the holes. I'd also like to highlight the customer service. The company made sure to reach out to me once the product was delivered to ask if I had any issues or questions. They also asked me if I had a chance to use the pull up bar and that it was still anchored correctly after a few days usage. Overall I'm very happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone look for a wider pull-up bar.

Bought this to fit a wide closet doorway. Through a mix-up, I ended up with 2 bars. The top bar is at pull-up height and will stay permanently installed while the second bar is at ballet barre height and will be taken down when not in use. To make setup and takedown faster, I added labels to the lower bar. While the bar is sturdy and I have no concerns about falling, it does have a slight give since installation is close to the maximum length and the bar is made of 2 end pieces threaded to a middle tube. Nevertheless, it feels solid enough to hang upside down on, though I’m sure that’s not recommended, lol. I’ve tried it as a foot bar and push up bar without the brackets, and while it does work, the rubber ends will peel paint. Overall, I’m happy with this bar. It’s sturdy and the foam is comfortable. The company’s customer service is also excellent. I had an issue and they were quite responsive. I recommend the company and would consider them for future purchases.

I was looking for an unobtrusive pull-up bar that had to fit into a wide doorway. The Garren bar was good, but not great. Positive: Easy to install, fits well, relatively sturdy when centered. Areas of improvement: The foam on the bar is OK but I don't like the ridges, would prefer a flat bar. Also the adjustment screws stick out a little too much so it's not comfortable to hold there.

I ordered this longer pull-up bar because the shorter one was out of stock (after reading a review of that one in WireCutter). I wanted a simple, built-in bar because we have a small space. This longer pull-up bar is surprisingly nice. I like being able to spread my arms out. I installed it across our 48" laundry room/closet. I am not handy but managed to install it in less than an hour. (And most of that time was remembering how to use my drill.) It looks good. Very little give. The company sent out nice directions that anticipated every single one of my questions, as a non-handy person.

I’m 46 now, and have obsessed over doing pull-ups since I was 7 years old. My favorite pull up bars are the kind you find at parks and playgrounds so I’ve always tried to find ones that mimic the quality and feel. However before discovering this bar I’ve always ended up getting rid of the ones I’d purchased because they were either too unsightly due to the color, or too risky to continue using due to the design. I myself could go without the foam grips on this bar, but not my wife and young daughter! (Who both started using this bar about 3 years ago when I got it). I installed it in our widest archway (doorway minus the door) near a dressing room and bath vanity, and it consistently gets used by us all almost everyday because we consistently pass it and consistently see it. Which is exactly what you want too if you also want to be strong and powerful and have the confidence that comes with it! Side note: My wife and daughter barely use the dryer so they also found this bar to be a good use for hanging their delicate clothes to air dry! The foam grips stayed fully intact for about a year, then began to degrade from everyday use by the 3 of us. I recently reached out to the seller about replacing the foam and they eagerly worked with me on a fast, satisfactory solution. Bottom line, this bar and the included hardware is strong af, sturdy af, useful af, and I’ve just recently found out the seller’s customer service aligns with the quality of the product they sell. Thank you! P.S. If installed CORRECTLY, there is no way this bar is EVER coming down! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I wanted a bar higher so I got this one which fits across my 40" hallway. Found the spots to install with stud finder and we used our own much longer screws. It only needed to be expanded a few inches so it feels really sturdy (I'm ~155 lbs). There is a little spin of the very ends in the end caps (i.e., not the extension poles unscrewing) if I swing too much but that's mostly because I'm ecstatic and climbing around like a little kid. I love it I almost want more like monkey bars!

Update: It's been a year since I bought it. The cushioning foam has started to rip on both sides. I can't say I've been using it heavily, maybe once a week for pull ups and a few times a week just hanging for stretching. No other issues otherwise. I was specifically looking for a bar with safety locks. It's a well built bar, came with an extra set of mounts which is a nice. I installed it in the hallway , and it's wide enough (36")for that. I was able to hit a stud/door header with 2 out of 3 screws which should be fine (used 2 1/2 inch wood screws). The price is a bit higher compare to other similar products but you can sign up for their free store membership and get a 15% discount. Not sure how long the foam grips will last but so far so good.

Très bon produit du solide avec un bon shipping un gros merci

Although quite large to fit within conventional doorways, it is of high quality, and durable.

Love it. Built well.
