 Very Pleased with the Perfect Pullup November 1, 2008

I read online about the shoddy contruction of the Perfect Pullup but that was after I ordered it. It came today. It was well packed, not just thrown in a box like some people claim. The quality of the device is real good. They've upgraded the brackets and screws to 8 total. It seems they've upgraded the handles. They seem to be a lot sturdier than other people described. I love doing the Australian pull-ups and the chest rows. I recommend this product to any one.
 Not so perfect. October 29, 2008

Sounds great - mount a pullup bar in your standard door frame and make workouts easy. Unfortunately, they didn't tell you that you need to be short in stature to use the thing efficiently. By the time you mount the PP system in a standard door frame, and hang the grab handles on the bar, you're hanging so low that (if you're taller than 5'4) your knees are resting on the ground, making a full arm extension impossible. The screws that mount the brackets into the door frame are dangerously short and install very close to the outside of the door frame. If your door frame was shimmed out during installation (a common practice), the supplied screws might be too short to go into the studs, with potentially disastrous results. For your own safety, you might want to get some screws at least an inch longer from your local hardware store. You also need to consider carefully which door frame you install the brackets to; the PP bar swings out pretty far, and if your door frame opens into a hallway or near anything within four feet, you're going to bump into things while using the PP system. In my house, there are only two doorways that have enough clearance to use the PP effectively, so now I have brackets on the dining room entry - a great conversation starter. All-in-all, in my opinion, the Perfect Pullup is an interesting idea, poorly executed.

Here's another one of these Swiss-army-knife pieces of exercise equipment that gives you a non-nominal range of exercise options with nothing more than one doorway and one piece of hardware. And not only is this a multi-faceted exercise station it is perfect for a range of starting fitness points. I've had now for a few months and have found it to be a great supplement to my "motley crew" of a home gym.
I particularly enjoy the ever-present opportunity to finish off just about any shoulder/back pullup exercise with a few "last thought" biceps curls/pulls. The way this station is set up also seems to be perfectly suited for super-setting: you go from free-fall pullups to "australians" to stationary ("milking" your strength to the last drop - approximating the kind of exhaustion you'd get from the "negatives" paradigm).
A word on the "psychology" of this piece of equipment: once installed in a doorway with moderate daily traffic, the pullup bar, in its conspicuosness, becomes one of those exercise-in-passing opportunities as you shuttle back and forth with your daily activities. A set of pullups here, a set of pullups there - it adds up (even if not to a systematic muscle-building routine, then at least to a nice back stretch).
In sum, it's an attractive, easy-to-install and easy-to-uninstall exercise station that gives you a quality burn.

Excellent Product October 2, 2008

I am a small woman with little upper body strenght and I wanted to improve that. We live in an old remodeled victorian house with odd doorways and high ceilings. I decided to try this product to see if it would mount in one of our doorways. Perfect PullupMy husband, currently on crutches, installed it in a doorway with no difficulty. He said it was very easy. We all use it, including my children. They have to be careful not to try to swing on it but it makes strengthening their upper body more fun. I can now do 2 pullups instead of 1/2 of one. It is more versatile than just a bar. I think it is worth the price unless you have the perfect place to put a really cheap simple bar.

I just wanted to post a review about the warranty service of BodyRev. I've been using the perfect pull-up since early May of 2008, and it's been working out great for me. I use it every day, and my roommate every other - perhaps 220 uses. Today while doing pull-ups, the left handle developed a crack in the silver plastic, what other reviewers have feared.
The crack was very audible, and the entire handle didn't fall off or anything. I had ample time to stand up and relieve pressure from the handle. Although it shouldn't happen at all, this was a relief.
After I inspected the handle, I called up BodyRev customer service (877-974-7733, in case anyone else needs to get a hold of them). They were very easy to understand (read: not outsourced), and able to help. After 5 minutes on hold with the first CS rep, I was transferred to the warranty dept. where Claire asked for details of the incident (speed of pull-up, weight, description of damage), took my name and address, and told me I'll get two new handles, free (no shipping charges), in 7-10 days.
Total phone time: 13 minutes. That's not bad! So, if you've got problems with your hardware, definitely call for warranty service - it's good for a year after purchase.
