Excellent piece of kit
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.

Good workout
At first I didnt know if I was going to go for the iron gym or the P90X but decided on this for its simplicity and cost and I am not disappointed.

I recieved my iron gym about 2 hours ago and decided to put it straight to the test as part of my back work out.

Building 5/5
Putting it together was very straight forward and probably took the best part of 5/10 minutes. The spanner that comes with it is very basic but it does the job.


Backs 5/5
The wide grip was not as wide as I would have liked but it was good enough to really work my lats, I used the other two grips one set a piece until I finished my set of 6 and was very pleased with the workout. I was able to move slowly and controlled and the iron gym left no marks on my wall. Im not a small guy I weight in at 210lb there was no fear of falling.

Dips 0/5
I'm not convinced by the dips as the range of movement is limited, personally I think that is just trying too hard to make the sale. If dips is your thing I would suggest looking at an additional products to go with this one.

Press ups 3/5
Okay you can do press ups on here and the range of movement was good if you are a beginner, however intermediate and above may prefer to do some clapping press ups to build explosive power.

Abs 5/5 (hanging) 3/5 (seated)
The sit up function is good if you are top half heavy or a beginner but I prefer to work my abs by doing hanging leg raises when it is on the door and then mix them up with traditional crunches, however there is a wide variety of movements you can do depending on space as you can work a wider range of movement.

The Guide 2/5
The guide that comes with it is basic, if you aready have intermediate experience of training and eating for performance they you will not learn anything new. However if you are new then the guide will help set up a basic foundation based on its example menu and food types.

Overall 4/5
I would say this is a great product for what you pay for its going to do what it is suppose to; give you a great workout as part of a bigger plan. I would say this product is great for maintaining and build lean mass but if you are looking for that spartan look you may want to invest in some dumb bells too.

Eat well and train safe

Check your doorframe depth first
I put this together as per the instructions. So far, so good. It feels fairly sturdy and was straightforward to construct. Where it all falls down (literally) is that when I attach the chin up bar across the doorframe, it doesn't stay in place when I start putting my (10st) weight on it, and the safety hook (a thin safety hook that you slide into the back of the doorframe, between the frame and the wall) just gives way. My best guess is that it needs a much deeper doorframe i.e. that the frames in my house do not stick out enough from the wall. The depth of my doorframes is about 4mm with the result that the bar had little to catch on and the hook was left taking most of the weight. My guess is you're probably supposed to have frames of at least 1.5cm, and judging from the depth of the safety hook and the thickness of the bar that rests on the frame, perhaps as much as 2.5cm. There's nothing in the product description or installation instructions that mentions this. Unfortunately none of my doors appear to have a frame deep enough for this, so I'm left a bar that can only be used for push ups and sit ups, both of which I can do without a bar anyway. So it'll be going to the charity shop.
