Ryze-Ups
Ryze-Ups solve the two biggest issues with doorway bars: height and damage. Their unique clamping system sits above the door frame, allowing for a higher pull-up position, and they fold flat for travel or storage.
Quality & Materials
Utilizes a mix of high-strength polymers and steel tubing. While not as 'indestructible' as solid steel wall mounts, the materials are optimized for portability and weight (supporting up to 250 lbs).
Evidence & Testing
Internal testing for weight capacity and frame stress. Not as extensively third-party tested as commercial steel bars, but highly rated for residential safety.
Brand Transparency
Clear instructions and limitations provided; however, manufacturing location and specific material grades are less transparent than Rogue.
Value Assessment
At $129, you are paying for the engineering and portability. It is the best option for renters or those who travel frequently and cannot drill into walls.
Why Not Alternatives?
Traditional doorway bars force you to tuck your knees because the bar sits 6-8 inches below the top of the frame. Ryze-Ups allow the bar to sit level with or above the frame. They also use a clamp rather than a lever, protecting the molding.
