The Body Sculpture BB-260 Chin Up/Pull Doorway Gym Bar is one example of a pull up bar. This equipment costs less than $20 and features a bar made of chrome plate. This material provides a better grip and is more durable than wood or other types of materials used to make pull-up bars. If more than one person will use the pull-up or you want to vary your width, you can adjust the Doorway Gym to stretch anywhere from 26 inches to 36 inches.

The GoFit GF-CUB Chin-Up Bar is similar to the Doorway Gym. It too has a cost below $20 and is made of chrome. There are two differences in this equipment and the Doorway Gym. The GoFit bar is padded so that you can easily grip the bar. This is important feature of you plan to perform more than a few pull ups. If you do more than a few pull-up exercises using a bar without padding, you can cause significant stress on your hands and develop unsightly calluses that can effect your workout routine. Another difference between the two bars is that the GoFit adjusts two inches less than the Doorway Gym. Depending on the exercises you intend to perform and the width of you doorways, this may not be an issue. You can also use the GoFit bar to do abdominal exercises such as crunches or sit ups.
