Sportsroyals Power Tower vs ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar
Quick verdict
Winner on Gym Score: Sportsroyals Power Tower (90)
Different categories. Sportsroyals is a $200-300 freestanding power tower with multiple stations; ProsourceFit is a $30-50 doorway leverage bar with multi-grip handles. Sportsroyals does dip and knee raise work the doorway bar can't. ProsourceFit does neutral-grip pull-ups (which the Iron Gym doesn't, making this its main differentiator in the doorway-bar category). Different use cases.
Choose the Sportsroyals if you have floor space and want a multi-station training piece — pull-ups, dips, knee raises, push-ups all in one footprint.
Read the full review →Choose the ProsourceFit if you rent or want the no-drill convenience, and neutral-grip pull-ups (easier on shoulders) matter to your training.

- · Bodyweight-first lifters who can't justify a full power rack
- · Apartments and basements without ceiling joists strong enough for a wall-mounted pull-up bar
- · Home gyms wanting one tool covering pull-ups, dips, knee raises, and elevated push-ups
- · Renters or anyone who wants pull-ups without drilling, especially if the doorway is on the wider end (up to 36 in) and the user weighs under 250 lb.

The real tradeoff
Same as Sportsroyals vs Iron Gym — different scales of equipment. ProsourceFit's main advantage over Iron Gym is the neutral grip handles, which many lifters prefer for shoulder health. Neither doorway bar is rated for serious weighted work. Sportsroyals is the dedicated trainer; doorway bars are the convenience tool. ProsourceFit fits wider doorways than Iron Gym (24-36" vs 24-32").
Skip both if you want plyo box integration. The Stamina Fortress Power Tower at /product/stamina-fortress-power-tower combines pull-ups with adjustable plyo box.
Buyer questions
Why does the ProsourceFit fit wider doorways than the Iron Gym?
The frame design accommodates a wider range — up to 36 inches vs Iron Gym's 32 inches. For homes with non-standard door widths, this matters. Most standard interior doorways are 28-32", where both fit.
Is neutral grip really better for shoulders?
For some lifters with shoulder issues, yes — neutral grip (palms facing each other) reduces internal rotation stress at the top of pull-ups. For others, no difference. If you have shoulder pain on standard pull-ups, neutral grip is worth trying.
Will the ProsourceFit hold up better than the Iron Gym?
Similar build quality and lifespan — both have foam grips that wear in 1-2 years, both use leverage mounting without drilling. The ProsourceFit's wider doorway fit and parallel grips are the main differentiators, not durability.
