Pull Up Bars & Racks - Buy Online

Gravity Fitness pull up bars and racks are built for regular use in home gyms and calisthenics setups. The range covers portable racks and door-mounted bars, so you can choose a fixing-free option or a heavier-duty freestanding rack depending on your space.

Every pull up bar comes with a 5-Year Warranty, 60-Day Returns, and Free UK Delivery on orders over £100.

Key features of Gravity Fitness pull up bars

Our pull up bars are made from heavy-gauge steel and designed to hold their position under load without flexing. The Portable Pull Up Rack is freestanding — it sets up in minutes, folds down for storage, and needs no drilling. The Universal Door Pull Up Bar wedges into most doorframes without permanent fixings, so it suits rented properties. The Pull Up Rack Extension Kit attaches to the portable rack to add width and extra grip positions.

Where and how to set up a pull up bar

The Portable Pull Up Rack stands on any flat, stable floor and doesn't need wall or ceiling fixings, which makes it a straightforward option if you don't want to drill into a doorframe or wall. The Universal Door Pull Up Bar fits most standard door openings and is held in place by tension, so it can be fitted and removed without tools. For younger users, the Gravity Kids bar is sized and weight-rated for children rather than adapted from an adult bar.

What exercises can you do on a pull up bar?

Standard pull ups and chin ups are the main use, but wider grip options on the Portable Pull Up Rack, especially with the Extension Kit fitted, also allow neutral-grip, wide-grip, and commando pull ups, plus hanging leg raises and knee raises. The rack frame is rated for dips, and resistance bands or gymnastic rings can be mounted from the bar for assisted pull ups or ring rows. The Pull Up Assist band reduces the load for anyone working towards their first strict pull up.

Benefits of pull up bar training

Pull ups and chin ups build back, shoulder, and arm strength, and improve grip strength, which carries over to other lifts. A pull up bar takes up little space, so it's one of the more space-efficient pieces of equipment for a home gym. It suits both someone working towards their first rep and someone adding volume to an established programme.

Materials and build quality

Gravity Fitness pull up bars are made from steel tubing with a powder-coated finish, and are tested to handle regular training loads without flexing or creaking. The 5-Year Warranty reflects that build standard.

Caring for your pull up bar

Wipe the bar down with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use, particularly if you're training with chalk, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the powder coating. On the Portable Pull Up Rack, check bolts and connections periodically, especially if it's folded and moved often. Refit the Universal Door Pull Up Bar correctly each time and check the tension is secure before use.

Safety when using a pull up bar

Check the bar is fully engaged and stable before putting your full bodyweight on it. For the Portable Pull Up Rack, that means all feet are flat and locked in place; for the Universal Door Pull Up Bar, it means the bar is wedged securely with no give. Check the weight rating before use, and leave clear space around the bar for movements like muscle-up transitions or kipping pull ups.

Accessories for pull up bar training

Gravity Fitness Liquid Chalk improves grip on longer sets. Interlocking Floor Mats placed under a freestanding rack add grip and protect flooring. The Pull Up Assist band fits both the Portable Rack and the Universal Door Bar for anyone building towards their first pull up.

Choosing a pull up bar

The Universal Door Pull Up Bar is the simplest option if you're starting out or don't want a permanent setup. The Portable Pull Up Rack, with the Extension Kit fitted, suits regular training with more grip variety and room for dips or ring work. The Gravity Kids bar is built and weight-rated for children rather than a scaled-down adult bar.

Are pull-up bars suitable for home use?

Yes! We offer a range of pull-up bars, including wall-mounted, doorway, and freestanding options, all designed to fit seamlessly into home setups. Many models are compact, portable, or easy to store.

Pull Up Rack FAQs

What’s the difference between a pull-up bar and a power rack?

A pull-up bar is designed primarily for upper body exercises like pull-ups, chin-ups, and hanging leg raises. A power rack offers more versatility, including barbell training like squats, bench press, and more, while also incorporating pull-up functionality.
