“This piece of equipment is both awesome and humbling at the same time. If you’re looking to build real strength, then look no further that the Bullbar 2.0 Portable Pull-up Bar and Dip Station. Not only does this replace bulky free weights and eliminate gym membership fees, but it is also very convenient and takes up very little space when folded. At first I thought it was a bit pricey, but after buying it, I realized that it is well worth the money. Solidly constructed. I’m so glad I bought this.”
“I’ve been using the BULLBAR 2.0 and, overall, I’ve been happy with the product. It addresses my main needs for a home gym by giving me both a pull-up bar and dip station in one portable setup. The design and functionality have been good so far.
There are really only two things keeping me from calling it an “excellent” product:
Opening and closing the legs: The hinges that allow the legs to open and close are quite difficult to operate. The process isn’t very smooth, and it can take a fair amount of force to get the legs moving. For my wife, it’s difficult enough that she isn’t able to open the legs normally. She has to put the product on its side and use both arms to pull the legs apart. Improving the hinge mechanism or making it easier to open and close would make a big difference in the overall user experience.
Creaking on one side: Once the bar is fully assembled, one side of the unit creaks quite a bit during pull-ups, while the other side is completely quiet. And when I say it creaks, I mean it creaks a lot. I’m not sure whether this is related to how the weight is distributed or whether some of the components are rubbing against each other under load, but it’s noticeably different from the other side. It would be helpful to know if this is normal or if there’s something I should check or adjust.
Other than those two issues, I think the BULLBAR 2.0 is a good product and does exactly what I was looking for in a home gym setup. Addressing these two areas would, in my opinion, take it from a good product to an excellent one.”
“Unfortunately, the "portable" feature is one I will not be using.; the Bullbar will stay up and in place. While this may be easy to put up and take down if you are 6' tall it was not for me. I am a fairly strong female who is 5' tall and 114 pounds. I needed an additional person to help me put this up. Additionally, I found 3 out of the 4 "legs" very difficult to open. That said, it is a great piece of equipment and I enjoy using it everyday.”
“This product is of the highest quality. I am an avid gym goer but have never been able to fully fund a full home gym. Over the many years of balancing life and fitness, I've maintained a gym membership and have dabbled in multiple home gym equipment options. I've tried at least 8 different ways to complete body weight work at home, and this is by far the best option i've tried so far. I've had the Bullbar for a couple months now and I have no notes.
Construction is solid. You can do muscle ups on this thing no problem. The addition of the handles for dips, and push ups (and everything in between, I.e. australian pull ups) is a game changer. From delivery to fully set up, took maybe 10 minutes (mostly because it was so well packaged for safe transportation). My kids climb on the thing and I feel completely safe letting them do so. I start my day, every day, hanging from the BULLBAR.
I would say this might not be the best option if you're looking for a system to travel with, and open and close multiple times per use. Becuase of it's sturdy construction, it is heavy and a bit cumbersome to move around. But, if you live in a small space, and need a pull up bar that can be set up anywhere there is flat ground, this thing is absolutely perfect. For an apartment where you have it set up 90% of the time, and just take it down when company is over, I can't believe there is a better piece of equipment.
Overall, one of the best fitness purchases i've ever made. Coming from a guy that buys 50% of the targeted instagram product ads I come across, this is a no brainer purchase if you are on the fence.”
“Well worth it for a home gym. I've tried some cheaper ones found on Amazon and did not like those at all. This was perfect and it requires no tools to assemble. I did buy the non-extandable version which is plenty for 5'10" for dips and pullups. However, I wanted to also do some toe taps to work the core and exchanged it for the extendable version. Completely satisfied with it.”
