Pull Up Bars without Door Frames
It all depends on how much $$ you are willing to part with. If you have an open budget, we would recommend a ceiling mounted or free standing bar. If you are short on budget, we would recommend you take a look at the wall mounted version, or suspension trainers with a wall hook.

This is our favourite solution.

Please note that you’ll need an extra long doorway pull up bar. According to our experience, the ones listed below are the best performing hallway pull up bars:
