For close to a decade now I have searched for, purchased and tested multiple door frame chin up bars in my search for the promised land.
After many years of looking I thought I had found the best door frame chin up bar, until I found the GoFit Unisex Elevated Chin Up Station.
I had to replace my previous P90X style bar due to wear and tear and I nearly purchased another of the same until on something like page 4 of the Amazon search results I came across the GoFit.
It is so obviously better than all the rest, just by looking at the design.
Of course it makes more sense to have the front 'handle' bar raised.
There is one other known 'raised' bar on the market but the front bar is thin, straight and has no foam grips so doesn't beat the P90X style bar.
I can't believe the other manufacturers have missed it and we punters have had to suffer through low chin up bar madness.
The proof then was going to be in the actual use.
It is very solid and very easy to put together; easier than previous bars.
As a result of the raised handle bar is it so much easier for me to use (I am 6'1")
I am able to extend my legs much further, rather than having to curl them underneath me to obtain full range of arm movement.
In addition, the hooks for hanging straps to allow knee and leg raise ab workouts work perfectly.
I purchased a pair of hanging straps which fit easily through the hooks and allow the most intense and focused ab exercises i have ever known.
In summary, if you are reading this and thinking of purchasing a door frame chin up bar look no further than this.
Yes its a few pounds more expensive than others but this is a product you will use for years so the extra pounds become irrelevant compared to the massive benefits of using the best piece of kit available.
One final note of praise, the rear has three points to attach meaning you have choice of how high you want your bard to go; genius!!
Just so you don't think this is a completely one sided review I would prefer it in black instead of bright red but this matters not when you get to your final chin up of the set and you need to lie down and have a little cry. Hope this review helps!
