misleading title, i was not looking for a p90x advertisement i was looking for a honest review, there is more to consider than just weight it can take
ok. if anyones over 300 pounds. which is iron gyms max capacity weight.. they would want to do cardio exercises like running... not pullups. so...... ya.
I had to get an original style Iron Gym because the only door in my house that has the right kind of trim frame to support a chinup bar of this type is a closet. The P90X one seems great but there is no way it would have fit in the limited space I have. Iron gym is working fine after about a year too.
I love how they Say absolutely nothing about how well it works no shit the p90x holds 500lbs it's got actually screws and the iron gym has like fake ones and duh the iron gym don't hold 500lbs it says it can only hold 300lbs and still if you weigh 500lbs you shouldn't try any like this instead try a surgery duh
This might be a dumb question but where can i get a P90X one ASAP?? i bought a P90X and forget to get one. is it possible to get one at Walmart? thats where i got my P90X..please help!! i dont wanna have to wait a while to start up again
idk a lot of people seem to have had good experiences w/ the iron gym, but if the p90x bar is actually stronger i'd rather have that. I weigh only 210 and i had a bolt snap on mine. When I looked around for replacement bolts, I found that a ton of other people also had the same problem. I haven't looked up the same thing for the the p90x bar though, so maybe it has it's own issues idk...
LOL they show the tests for the p90x but not the iron gym. I personally have an Iron Gym Extreme and it works. it does say the max weight it can hold is 250lbs but thats only for safety. im 178lbs and no structural damage, no binding nothing.
@TiredSouls was yours easy to put together? mine im trying to put the 2 pieces that make the long piece and i cant get it past the metal tab..its one of those put in then screw type. i tried everything...the rubber foams is definitely not static anymore i ripped those off trying
by the way where's the video of iron gym FAILING HUH? the only fail I see is beachbody trying to lie LOL. beachbody has good products but this video is just low.
This is only tryna get people to buy the other one. if you're thin buy the iron gym for sure!if you're fatt then loose some weight then buy the iron Gym xD
I am well over 500lbs. After using the iron gym pullup bar, i found that it would begin to sag under my extreme weight. Just after 10 reps I found the bars to be unusable. I am so happy I bought the p90x pull up bar. Now I can do hundreds of pullups without the bar breaking. :)
Do any of you guys realize that they are talking about the Iron Gym EXTREME, not the REGULAR Iron Gym? It has all the grips and positions that the P90X bar has, and it's available for 1/3 less of the price. Of course these jerks are going to promote the P90X bar, because of something called a "bias."
I had both of these bars and I would only recommend the p90x bar...why? because the quality is so much better and it lets you do a wider range of chin ups and pull ups..on the Iron Gym you can't do wide grip, it wedges in the door...the p90x bar pulls out a bit so you can change your grip to wide
I think the point they are trying to make is that the Beachbody pullup bar is over designed and will therefore be that much safer and reliable. Just a thought.
Well I don't weight 500 pounds and the Iron Gyms cheaper and I can get the iron gym at walgreens and I don't know or care about where I can get the P 90-X bar.
iron gym own's p90x just for the price, and however, why would you buy a chin up bar that holds that weight for 30$ more if you are just like 180 pounds? this comercial sucks ass
I weigh 140....I think the Iron gym would be just fine for me, thanks P90X, for showing that I don't need to buy your expensive shit to get a good product ^_^
lol listen to the statistics at between 38 and 50 seconds into it. Do the math there basically saying that the Iron Gym bar could ONLY do a quarter of what the p90x bar could do. Which amounts to more than 46000 reps if you weigh 400 pounds. If I weigh 400 pounds and I did a 100 reps a day , it would last me more than 8 years!!!!! And it's half the price of the p90x bar!!!!!! lol I love beachbody and all but I'd take this video off if I was them.
the only reason i would get the p90x pull up bar over the iron gym is becuase it has wide grips, my iron gym has wide grips too but the are too close to the fram of the door and my elbow hits it when i start struggling, very annoying
this is kinda stupid.. the iron gym works great, ive had one for about a yr now and its extremely durable. besides who cares if it can hold 500 pounds, da iron gym is still gonna give u the same results. and tbh, i cant imagine alot of 500 pound ppl doing pull-ups "/
they hella copyed the iron gym but all they really did was add some extra grips that you dont need and its can support 500 pounds big deal noone that big can even jump a inch
I like P90X, but I'd have to go with the Iron Gym one on this. It's just much cheaper, and the majority of us out there who exercise don't weigh much more then 220 lbs, rendering the 500 pound capacity useless.
I've been using the Iron Gym for 6 months and it is still very secure. If I weigh 175lbs, why do I care that my Iron Gym can't support 500lbs? This is where Beachbody starts to look bad. They have to find a way to put down the competition. Are they not making enough money with the P90X program, the bands, the drinks, the $90 yoga mats, etc... Man o man, talk about greed
even if what they say is TRUE that means the iron gym bar does 400lbs 50,000 times average plp change their pullup bars after a year so with iron gym over 4 years you save 40$ enough to buy a fith iron gym, so unless you are 400lbs and you are going to 50,000 reps within the year i guess you can buy the more expensive p90x bar.
i have the iron gym xtreme, which looks EXACTLY the same as the p90x one, all the various hand grips, etc. idk if they were testing the regular iron gym or the iron gym xtreme. but its been working good so far.
come on now their knocking the iron off market and plus if u do workouts from p90x and use the iron u should start to loose weight and the iron wins haha much cheaper
according to them iron gym does 1/4 of 195000=48750 reps at 400 lbs. Simple logic says 200lb = 97500 reps. Thats 270 reps everyday for 1 yr.... Good luck!
the iron gym if you look at the design, is limited to the functions that it can do, plus as stated and shown in the video it didnt last long either.
now as you will likely know if your planning on biulding muscles, muscle does weigh so would you want to risk going over 300lbs and breaking the iron gym or be able to do several moves with the p90x and biuld as much muyscle as you wish without concern.
ive just gained the p90x which is also called the mediacarn pull up door gym. I have foudn that becuase i havent done weights in over 2 years i have no strength in my arms or upper body so i found ti hard to do 1 pull up, yet when i hung there the thing didnt budge.
subscribe to my channel as i will be doing a video on it, amongst many other subjects
i weigh 250.. honestly im not all fat .. i believe , and people have told me i dont look all fat... but my my house is pretty old .. about 15 years old and not sure if my frame will hold... do you suggest me taking an alternative or using a chair.. or getting the pull up bar that i have to screw into and stuff??
we rent this house it is old as crap and theres cracks in the ceiling w nails coming through
and above the door frame there are even cracks
honestly i dont know mabye u would be better off with the bands i might even buy them soon
sometimes when doing the assisted pull-ups u get tired and put more weight on the chair, and then u dont feel it in ur back so i think bands would be great if ur worried about the doorframe
this is being advertised to normal people for the most part. who do not weigh that much. and beside i highly doubt big fat people will be doing pull ups
well show us the results then, where are they cause I could say alot of thing too like my chest got 2 times bigger on Iron gym on p9x my lat didn't even grow. Until then this is not going to make you sell better, I would still buy Iron gym cause its cheaper, and oh yeah not everyone has the perfect door frame for the chin up bars like your "lab"
50,000 reps with 400lbs sounds very good to me. They just inadvertently endorsed the iron gym as a great product. I'll never be anywhere near 400lbs & at a fraction of the price, I'm going with The iron gym. Thanks P90X!
@mrfrosty8172 Iron Gym Extreme also has all the extra grips needed, at a fraction of the cost. Sorry, but P90X inadvertently demonstrated why Iron Gym is preferable: Way cheaper, same workout, & 50,000 reps @ 400lbs is more than enough for anyone who doesn't suffer from gigantism. I've had mine for 3 years, w/o a hitch. P90X is simply overpriced & overrated w/ flawed exercise physiology principles. Bottom line: no one needs to pay a lot of money to get fit or even gain a lot of muscle!
@detroituntilidie You mean "no one needs to pay a lot of money to get fit or even gain a lot of muscle! " Really? That was a great laugh? Why? Please explain bc I only give you 1...count 'em 1 chance to show me you're not an IDIOT. Then I destroy you!
@iiwatcher i was just gona ask how much the p90x's version was till i saw ur comment. i actually finished assembling mine (Iron gym bought at walmart)and i dont thin ill ever be 500lbs!! im 150. if i reach 500lbs, jumping off a bridge will be my only remedy!
i have the iron gym and theres nothing wrong with it. before using it i couldn't climb a rope and after 3 days of using it i coulld climb the rope with ease. theres nothing wrong with the iron gym the results are just as great and its way cheaper
straight honest, i hate beachbody and p90x because of the corporate bastards trying to get money. not saying their products suck, they're pretty good, its just they defiantly overpriced this piece of crap bar. and i was gonna buy their DVD set to test it out. so i looked at the price around Dec. 01 and the price was about 70$, once it got closer to christmas, they doubled the price which was when i was gonna buy it, so even when the price deflates, i refuse to buy any of their products.
Yeah I just bought the iron gym extreme and it works great... i see no point in paying the extra money to get this thing. I got the iron gym extreme on sale for 30 dollars... All I wanted the extreme version was to do those wide grip pullups which you can't on the regular iron gym version.
I bought it at dunham's sports (you may not of ever heard of it they only exist in the midwest region like Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc.) I used a 25% off coupon that dunham's gave me from making a previous purchase there. You can do the same there and buy anything from the store and they'll give you the 25% off of any item on the back of your receipt. Hope this helps you out man.
lol, I agree with the people here saying 500+ lbs you won't be even able to do one pull up....seems like a way to try to knock the Iron Gym more then anything....not to mention, IG you can do other things like dips, push ups and sit ups....
I've had mine(Iron Gym) now for 2 months almost, nothing has broke ;) as long as you have a standard inch door frame with the normal length bar you buy for Iron Gym or this, you should be fine which is 26-32 inches, Iron Gym however comes with an offer for 8 bucks for a bar extender if your door is larger from 36-40 inches(some people have this, most don't)
:) I don't know if the P90X Chin up bar comes with extra options however...
im 13 years old and in wrestling in middle school 7th grade. last i made it 2 the last match 2 get into states and lost it. and that was without wieghtlifting. i bought the iron gym. i weigh exacly on the scale 152.4. im trying to get stronger. (a whole lot stronger) if any1 could help. i need a summary of how many reps of pull ups. push ups. setups. a day. if any1 could help that would be amazing
not sure if this would help but i used to do about 15 pull ups at best, plus 35 pushups, all i did was keep repeating(pull ups, then push ups, then pull ups, then push ups, etc.)but as many times as i could till i couldnt do any more, probably about 3 to 4 sets of each, i notice every week i was doing at least 1 more pull up and maybe 3 more push ups, now im up to 23 pull ups, and 65 pushups(nonstop).Not to mention i was eating healthy,hard work and perseverence pays off you know.=)
P90x one is $60 dollars and the iron gym is $30. Plus I'm pretty sure someone who weighs 500 lbs wouldn't even be trying to do a pull up in the first place...
I know its a pretty strange statement, but im assuming they are trying to say that it will last a lot longer than a couple of years if youre on a regular program. Strange thing is, in the UK these 2 bars are a similar price, around £20 - £30
They don't I had to get mine off ebay and it turned out to be a pirate. But it was a good pirate hehe. Let me know if you find out where to get an official one
ahah considering the company who made this advertisement is OWNED BY P90X obviously they try to favor P90X...I own a Iron Gym, its great, plus my uncle who weights 500lbs did chin ups on it, it holds up great!
i weight 285 pounds. and believe it or not I can do about 20 pull-ups. I also own an iron-gym. I think the iron-gym is holding up just fine. the box it came in said that it was designed to handle 300 lbs. I can't imagine anybody weighting more than 400 pounds doing pull-ups anyway.
this is the biggest bs ive ever seen. first off i weigh 500lbs and i have no trouble using the iron gym. Plus they dont even show them testing the iron gym there just like ''We just tried adding 500lbs to the iron gym and it couldnt take the pressure" yell if they actually showed people maybe we would believe it.
si la puerta no tiene molduras tanto en la parte superior como en los laterales, este aparato se cae y puedes sufrir accidentes que pueden ser muchos mas severos y pueden enviarte al hospital.
lmao wut a lame review....i own a iron gym pull up bar....and first of all wut 500 pound man can get himself off his feet with just his hands...seriously its made for something that wont b relle needed...iron gym does the trick....if ure 500 pounds..take baby steps until u run out more then half that shit then use the iron gym u dumass
i own an iron gym bar and will be purchasing a p90 bar for one reason. for wide grip pullups your forarms smack or rest against the door frame. thats why they have the extra wide grip bar on the p90 version.
wow I usually love beachbody and their products but this video is garbage to push an overpriced product. Who weighs well over 500 pounds and does P90X or pullups for that matter?! Are you really gonna do 200,000 reps of pullups in one set? Get real guys, the iron gym rocks. I personally don't know anyone that uses the P90X chin up bar. We all use the Iron gym because it's cheap effective does the job and even works as push up stands and a sit up bar.
a quarter of 195,000 pounds is still 48 thousand reps... that a lot..

I've been using the Iron Gym for 6 months and it is still very secure. If I weigh 175lbs, why do I care that my Iron Gym can't support 500lbs? This is where Beachbody starts to look bad. They have to find a way to put down the competition. Are they not making enough money with the P90X program, the bands, the drinks, the $90 yoga mats, etc... Man o man, talk about greed
jdrum12 2 years ago 3
even if what they say is TRUE that means the iron gym bar does 400lbs 50,000 times average plp change their pullup bars after a year so with iron gym over 4 years you save 40$ enough to buy a fith iron gym, so unless you are 400lbs and you are going to 50,000 reps within the year i guess you can buy the more expensive p90x bar.

cuz' i'm nowhere near 400lbs.!
cuz' i'm not planing on doing 200,000 reps!

Exactly! Im going to use the iron gym. This whole concept is Ridiculous. If you're 500 lbs, you wouldn't be able to do 1 pull up let alone 200,000
shatwood 2 years ago
yeah but you will also find that the p90x is valuable becuase of the many different ways to grip, unlike the iron gym which has max of maybe 2-3

both are joke and lame. doorframe bars can suck, good bars must allow good free space in all directions for moves like commando pullups or muscle-ups

thats not a valid reason for them to "both suck"
Mathewmartialart 2 years ago
according to them iron gym does 1/4 of 195000=48750 reps at 400 lbs. Simple logic says 200lb = 97500 reps. Thats 270 reps everyday for 1 yr.... Good luck!

its not that hard.
im 285.
now if a body biuldier thats over 6ft and is already biult and wants to use it, you looking at past 25 stone, so yeah close to 400 pounds.
Mathewmartialart 2 years ago
@Mathewmartialart im weight 285 also and i want a chin up bar
the iron gym one says it holds 300lbs
but i saw on a vid where a kinda skinny guy using it and that shit was squeaking and bending a lil bit
wich do u have and is it worth it?
cuz i dont have a credit card to buy the beachbody one
mrfrosty8172 2 years ago
the iron gym if you look at the design, is limited to the functions that it can do, plus as stated and shown in the video it didnt last long either.
now as you will likely know if your planning on biulding muscles, muscle does weigh so would you want to risk going over 300lbs and breaking the iron gym or be able to do several moves with the p90x and biuld as much muyscle as you wish without concern.
Mathewmartialart 2 years ago
ive just gained the p90x which is also called the mediacarn pull up door gym. I have foudn that becuase i havent done weights in over 2 years i have no strength in my arms or upper body so i found ti hard to do 1 pull up, yet when i hung there the thing didnt budge.
subscribe to my channel as i will be doing a video on it, amongst many other subjects

@mrfrosty8172 its because of his door frame smart one
learber 1 year ago
@learber no he probobbly didnt tighten the screws all the way
i recently bought the p90x chin-up bar
its really good
(but a friggin pain to put the screws on)
they give u a small tool to tighten the ends
but u have to use another tool to stop the other end from spinning
so u have use two small weirdly shaped tools to tighten both ends at the same time
but once u screw everything in tight it doesnt bend or move around

@mrfrosty8172 Where did u buy it and how much?
chsthewall 1 year ago
i got it off of the beachbody website
it cost $65 but since i chose express shipping it cost $80
but it came in 5 days
and again its a real pain to put it together
but is really study, u will damage ur doorframe before u even start to damage the bar
mrfrosty8172 1 year ago
Thanks for the info, one last question, how much do you weigh? Im at 275, will it be okay?
chsthewall 1 year ago
@chsthewall if ur mostly muscle then i dont know
but if ur mostly fat like me (285lb)
then u will be using a chair to do assisted pull-ups
and depending how much weight u put on that chair then thats a lot less pressure on the bar
also the p90x info card thing it comes with says not to exceed 300lbs
the bar that rests above the door frame squeaks (i think cuz of the paint)
and since i use a small door(closet)
the lower grips rest on the door frame and make small indentions
mrfrosty8172 1 year ago 2
Ok well thanks again for the info.
Im staring P90X today at 5pm

i weigh 250.. honestly im not all fat .. i believe , and people have told me i dont look all fat... but my my house is pretty old .. about 15 years old and not sure if my frame will hold... do you suggest me taking an alternative or using a chair.. or getting the pull up bar that i have to screw into and stuff??
bigb281 1 year ago
try out the bands if it's to sketchy i woulndt know where you would tie them though to get the pull up resistance
Heyitsbao 1 year ago
we rent this house it is old as crap and theres cracks in the ceiling w nails coming through
and above the door frame there are even cracks
honestly i dont know mabye u would be better off with the bands i might even buy them soon
sometimes when doing the assisted pull-ups u get tired and put more weight on the chair, and then u dont feel it in ur back so i think bands would be great if ur worried about the doorframe
I dont own any bands but i might buy some soon

Until then this is not going to make you sell better, I would still buy Iron gym cause its cheaper, and oh yeah not everyone has the perfect door frame for the chin up bars like your "lab"

50,000 reps with 400lbs sounds very good to me. They just inadvertently endorsed the iron gym as a great product. I'll never be anywhere near 400lbs & at a fraction of the price, I'm going with The iron gym. Thanks P90X!
iiwatcher 2 years ago 42
@iiwatcher P90X bar has more grips
mrfrosty8172 1 year ago
@mrfrosty8172 Iron Gym Extreme also has all the extra grips needed, at a fraction of the cost. Sorry, but P90X inadvertently demonstrated why Iron Gym is preferable: Way cheaper, same workout, & 50,000 reps @ 400lbs is more than enough for anyone who doesn't suffer from gigantism. I've had mine for 3 years, w/o a hitch. P90X is simply overpriced & overrated w/ flawed exercise physiology principles. Bottom line: no one needs to pay a lot of money to get fit or even gain a lot of muscle!

straight honest, i hate beachbody and p90x because of the corporate bastards trying to get money. not saying their products suck, they're pretty good, its just they defiantly overpriced this piece of crap bar. and i was gonna buy their DVD set to test it out. so i looked at the price around Dec. 01 and the price was about 70$, once it got closer to christmas, they doubled the price which was when i was gonna buy it, so even when the price deflates, i refuse to buy any of their products.

Yeah I just bought the iron gym extreme and it works great... i see no point in paying the extra money to get this thing. I got the iron gym extreme on sale for 30 dollars... All I wanted the extreme version was to do those wide grip pullups which you can't on the regular iron gym version.

I bought it at dunham's sports (you may not of ever heard of it they only exist in the midwest region like Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc.) I used a 25% off coupon that dunham's gave me from making a previous purchase there. You can do the same there and buy anything from the store and they'll give you the 25% off of any item on the back of your receipt. Hope this helps you out man.
wolverine22blue 2 years ago
lol, I agree with the people here saying 500+ lbs you won't be even able to do one pull up....seems like a way to try to knock the Iron Gym more then anything....not to mention, IG you can do other things like dips, push ups and sit ups....

@MKF30 and the door frame will break maybe but maybe not idk
learber 1 year ago
I've had mine(Iron Gym) now for 2 months almost, nothing has broke ;) as long as you have a standard inch door frame with the normal length bar you buy for Iron Gym or this, you should be fine which is 26-32 inches, Iron Gym however comes with an offer for 8 bucks for a bar extender if your door is larger from 36-40 inches(some people have this, most don't)
:) I don't know if the P90X Chin up bar comes with extra options however...

(a whole lot stronger) if any1 could help. i need a summary of how many reps of pull ups. push ups. setups. a day. if any1 could help that would be amazing
shinedowns45 2 years ago
not sure if this would help but i used to do about 15 pull ups at best, plus 35 pushups, all i did was keep repeating(pull ups, then push ups, then pull ups, then push ups, etc.)but as many times as i could till i couldnt do any more, probably about 3 to 4 sets of each, i notice every week i was doing at least 1 more pull up and maybe 3 more push ups, now im up to 23 pull ups, and 65 pushups(nonstop).Not to mention i was eating healthy,hard work and perseverence pays off you know.=)

P90x one is $60 dollars and the iron gym is $30. Plus I'm pretty sure someone who weighs 500 lbs wouldn't even be trying to do a pull up in the first place...

I know its a pretty strange statement, but im assuming they are trying to say that it will last a lot longer than a couple of years if youre on a regular program. Strange thing is, in the UK these 2 bars are a similar price, around £20 - £30

i weight 285 pounds. and believe it or not I can do about 20 pull-ups. I also own an iron-gym. I think the iron-gym is holding up just fine. the box it came in said that it was designed to handle 300 lbs. I can't imagine anybody weighting more than 400 pounds doing pull-ups anyway.

this is the biggest bs ive ever seen. first off i weigh 500lbs and i have no trouble using the iron gym.

i own an iron gym bar and will be purchasing a p90 bar for one reason. for wide grip pullups your forarms smack or rest against the door frame. thats why they have the extra wide grip bar on the p90 version.

wow I usually love beachbody and their products but this video is garbage to push an overpriced product. Who weighs well over 500 pounds and does P90X or pullups for that matter?! Are you really gonna do 200,000 reps of pullups in one set? Get real guys, the iron gym rocks. I personally don't know anyone that uses the P90X chin up bar. We all use the Iron gym because it's cheap effective does the job and even works as push up stands and a sit up bar.
