Has it caused any damage to the door frame or wall above the door? Can it be used with TRX bands?

No damage to the wall above the door, but it did leave two faint black marks on either side of the door frame. No big deal for me since the door's not in a prominent spot in the house. Never tried it with TRX bands but I don't see any reason why they would not work as long as the force applied is straight down.

Yes to the door frame- depends on the quality of your construction. Wouldn't recommend using anything in conjunction with this device as it does not screw in. I got it to come off the wall mid explosive pull-up once. It's a door pullup bar so expect a compromise from a stand alone unit.

On one of my doors, I have a hair-width crack in the drywall. It's stretching out at a diagonal from the corner of the frame. It's almost invisible, unless it's daylight, and then you'll notice it's a little over a foot long. This was caused by one of my friends trying to do a pull-up on it at one point. I estimate he weighed 180-200 lbs at that time. I've since stopped using it on that door frame and moved it to another one, and so far no cracking. Been using it for 2+ years now.

No, just an anchor for the door. You can buy a separate anchor through trx or on amazon via woss systems.

I don't know how it would work anchoring it to a actual door frame but with the correct anchors, it might work. Mine stays over the actual door 24/7/365. The actual door helps to anchor it and works rather well. You just hang it over the door and then close the door and off you go! Enjoy the workout, it's great!

I'm not sure. My husband weighs 250 and he "hangs" from the trx to do australian pull ups and pushups. We used a stud finder and very long screws to mount it to the ceiling

I agree that you should ask support at bodylastics, but I suspect that it will depend on how/where you hook/place the bands for use. I have several heavy duty metal anchors screwed into a door frame. You would need multiple places for adjustment of the bands for different exercises. They should work fine for you, I think.

Yes. It is quite nice and has worked without issue through two moves. I even damaged it with a door and have not suffered. It is not overly cheap or fragile.

The bar hangs off the molding around a door. As long as you have molding it should be fine. It does do some damage after extended use but i have heard if you place a towel or something under the point where it hits the molding it won't damage. Hope this helps.

Yes. Used it for 6 months with my Maxx. Velcro went away after 6 mths, and have now moved on to an NXE armband.

I don't know if that was ever disclosed in the literature that came with the unit. I do not have the paperwork anymore, but I can tell you it is most likely your door knob will break long before the buddy bar breaks or bends. If you could balance a car on top of the buddy bar, it would probably support it. It really is a heavy duty unit.

Absolutely not an issue. I've been using mine for about 2 months and the band hasn't fallen off once.

If you don't use it as directed, yes you can damage your door knob... I marked my floor where the Buddy Bar is susposed to go this way I know exactly where it goes,every time, preventing damage... Toni..

My husband mounted it and didn't have any problems. I would recommend mounting it and not using the door hanger part. He used the screw wall mount things.

there are plastic lugs on the end of each strap. you put these over the top of the door, then when you close the door they jam on the other side. You need to mount them such that the door would open away from you, this uses the door frame itself to stop the door bending. i use mine in rentals/hotels and never had it damage a frame.

Hi. I don't know. I weight 210 and use the mount for the trx system. Using the bolts/screws that came with the mount and attaching it into a heavy beam it would probably work.

The door frame will have no problem holden you and the chin up bar;however after a year of use some chipping occurred. I recommend using a towel or something to take off some of the pressure. Hope this helped-Henry

In my opinion, I would say no. For TRX Strapping System you need solid base; secure bar, solid door so on.
