Projects > Calisthenics Gym

I built this gym in my backyard during the early months of the quarantine. It features a pull-up bar, horizontal pull-up bar, flagpole bar, and dip bars. I wanted the pullup bar to be tall and wide so that I could also use it with gymnastics rings.

The pull-up bar is 1" x10' pipe. Due to its length, it would severely deflect when a load was applied to the center. To solve this, I added the flagpole bar (vertical pipe) to keep a tension on the pull-up bar. The horizontal pull-up and dip bars also provide structural support to pull-up bar.

I love getting to workout outside and this gym has become a part of my daily routine.
