Collection: Chin & Pull Up Bars

No weights? No worries. A chin up bar turns you into your very own weight set that you can use to grow and strengthen your arms, shoulders, back and core. And the more muscle you build, the more weight you’ll lift!

Chin up bars are a gym staple, whether as a doorway-mounted accessory for home, as a piece of freestanding equipment, or as part of a multifunctional workout station. They offer efficient, effective strength training that targets all of the most prominent and eye-catching muscles of the upper body.

At GymQuip we offer a complete range of chin up bars for home studios and commercial gyms at both our Canberra fitness superstore – one of Australia’s largest – and through our even more sprawling online store, which delivers Australia-wide.

Along with our generous shipping and returns policy, you’ll also enjoy our price beat guarantee – if you find a cheaper price for any of our products, we’ll beat it by 5%!

Do doorway chin up bars work?

Yes, doorway chin up bars offer the exact same workout as the chin up bars you’ll see at your local gym. The key for this piece of equipment is to choose a high quality brand, like those we sell at GymQuip, so that you can be confident it won’t slip or break, and to mount it on a structurally sound doorway, following the manufacturer’s instructions to a T.

Is hanging from a chin-up bar good for you?

If you’re struggling to do chin ups – and they are a very challenging exercise – you can also work out by simply hanging from the bar. This predominantly works your forearm muscles, like the flexors and extensors, and can give you more strength and definition in that area.

 

Chin & Pull Up Bars FAQS

Are pull up bars and chin up bars different?

While certain products might be labelled as ‘pull up bars’ or ‘chin up bars’, in reality these products are all designed to serve the same purpose, and can be used for both pull ups and chin ups. The only difference between the two exercises are how the palms are placed (facing out for pull ups, in for chin ups).

Are pull up bars safe?

Yes, pull up bars are safe, provided you choose a high quality pull up bar (such as those sold by GymQuip), and install it correctly.
