If a basic pullup bar just won’t cut it—maybe you need more flexibility for your daily workouts or don't trust a hanging bar—a power tower is the answer. The Relife Rebuild Your Life’s Power Tower is a solid mid-range choice. We found the design to be simple and sturdy, providing a safe, comfortable base to work a ton of exercises. It’s great for push-ups, but also for dips, leg presses, and so much more. Plus, the floor-standing design means zero installation is required. Just stand it up and get sweating. Door Frame Pull Up Bars are relatively simple in design. Because of the way they’re mounted to the door or door frame, your body weight needs to be suspended fairly stable on one side. Other kinds of Pull Up Bars, including Power Towers, will offer a greater number of options in the form of different kinds of protrusions and bars to hold on too. Doorway and Door Frame Pull Up Bars tend to be simpler in design, focusing on the core feature: the horizontal top bar.

The handles themselves were comfortable to grip and felt solid in the hand. Our performance was the same as on a regular Pull-Up Bar. Of course, to change the distance between your hands, you will have to move one or both of the clamps in its entirety. For extra-long reach, we decided to hang the Eleviia’s from two perpendicular doorways. This also didn’t create any instability despite there now being a force exerted at a 45-degree perpendicular angle. Advantages of Using the Duonamic Eleviia Portable Pull-Up Bar Yes, but provided the door frame is sturdy enough to hold your weight. Remember, the mechanical action of the Duonamic Eleviia makes it impossible for them to slip off the frame. Duonamic provides us with a manual with instructions, including on minimum and maximum dimensions for the doorframe. In the following picture, you can see what the doorframe should be like: Range of MotionDeciding what mounting type you need is the most important decision. There are four main types of pullup bar: Door mount, wall mount, joist mount, and freestanding. If your home setup is flexible enough, you may have the option of choosing between all four. Most buyers will at least be able to shop door and wall mount models as these only require either an open doorway or sufficient wallspace to hang.

The Duonamic Eleviia has two handle-types available: the classic pull-up bar grips and the Powrholds grips. For suspended core exercises and for pull ups, the classic grips are ideal. They are comfy, stable, easy to install and durable.Another option is to find a Calisthenics Park close to where you will be staying or to make use of the hotel’s amenities should those be available. The wise person plans this ahead. Alternatives to a Travel Pull-Up Bar
