Excellent choice for a clothes hanger if you need one.

Does this wobble when doing pull ups?
Reviews seem to indicate left and right when doing explosive stuff but not back and forth. Seems good for the money though.. couple of plates at the bottom should stabilise it.
Duty of all gym equipment at home, I use treadmill arms to dry towels
Just wait a couple of months and pick one up off the street when they throw it out.
Yes - as a physio who follows fitness these are completely useless/stupid. If you want to do pullups - by a cheaper/easier to put away doorway pullup bar.
And dont use the leg raise feature - this isn't really good for your core/back and most people just end up overtraining there hip flexors etc. which isn't great for the spine!
You gotta door? Then you got a gym.
Link to where I can buy one of these door gadgets?
@Felixrising: I have one of these : https://www.amazon.com.au/ProSource-Multi-Grip-Chin-Up-Pull-…
I go slow and steady on it and it's fine, I reckon I could break it if I was trying to, by just going nuts. But I do all my exercises slow and steady.
@mwahahaha: I guess it depends on how much the user weighs.
That one looks a little spooky. If any part of that fails then you're falling to the floor. I'm a huge fat (profanity), so I need that 130+kg weight limit 🥲
And a stew!
Our or curiosity why are they useless/stupid (for pull up)?
I've got a door one and I've started seeing cracks around the door… So I'm personally not a fan of it
They are not but personally I would never get another one.
Too bulky/heavy for what it's worth, back support gets in the way (took it out and it wobbles more than it does normally).
Replaced with a simple doorway bar but I weigh light and only do slow controlled pullups only.
They trash your door frame
Put extra padding on the contact spots. I use a couple of pieces of cardboard under each side to help spread the load. The foam padding is good for your hands but insufficient for the door frame.
Since when does Harvey Norman have gym equipment? First I have heard of this
They sell everything electronics online. Treadmills including the ones you see on Temu, alongside the name brand ones.
How quickly would this break?
73 workouts
So 15 years, not bad
Power Tower Chin up? Overpriced positive thinking motivational frame.
Just like the guy leech gym equipment big w was selling, these will end up in the trash within a year - some with merely an aspiration of being used.
I bought a Guy Leech one secondhand a few years ago. I'm 100kg and use it a few times a week. There's nothing wrong with it at all. I put some cheap mats from Bunnings under it as well.
Pull ups are fine. Dips are fine, though I'm not a huge fan. Padding on the arms are still comfy for leg raises. Also great for stretching the back with dead hangs.
If you can't afford anything else and want something very basic to perform pull ups and dips, then this should get the job done, but be aware that it's cheaply constructed and will wobble side to side when doing almost anything. Pull ups aren't so bad, but it shakes violently when doing dips. It's very light and unstable, and placing weights at the base also didn't really help.
How do they offer free shipping for something so big?
I wanted to buy a zero turn ride-on. They were going to ship it lol
After 3 months when you get over your fad and taking up 1/6th of the garage, you'll try to sell it for $50 and it'll just sit.
usual price 150 at bunnings
The comments are so mean lol but also so true 😂
Sorry I (still) refuse to do business with Gerry.
VERY sturdy clothes rack, I've got something similar.
Even dries towels and the occasional sheet
