Can you use this to do pull-ups, chin-ups, etc.?

I don't see why not.Please note the product comes with dvd and also instruction booklet which explains the different exercises.

Definitely! You'll need to attached the bar low enough on your doorway so you don't hit your nose on the doorframe.

Yes, you can do pull ups and chin ups, although the accompanying literature doesn't say to use the bar as a pull up bar itself. But I tried it and it's quite comfortable. Note that you can get your chin ABOVE the bar, but not OVER the bar because the door frame is in the way. You'd bump your nose and bleed on your new hardware. :)

Absolutely you can. We bought it for our daughter who uses it every day and loves it.

One could do them simultaneously if you like. Simply do different upper body exercises with weights while walking/climbing on these. One could do bicep curls, shoulder press, tricep pushes, and other things. However, I recommend not doing anything with your chest or back. Balance is a small issue on this walking machine. I suggest not toying with that balance much. It would be easy to cause injuries without going as far as falling off. So when not on the machine do push ups and tricep dips and other more horizontal exercises.

You can but for myself, I'd say no. I wouldn't use it to do those routines because it does restrict severe movement. There is flexibility in the belt but with severe movements you have greater awkward feeling of movement.

I do believe it can. It comes with additional platforms in case you need it to be higher. and it's very supportive for my workouts, so i definitely believe this could be useful for your purpose. Hope this helps!

I don't use mine for yoga, but I suspect you could. It all depends on the class, I guess. I use mine to loosen up tight muscles in my back and it works very well for that.

Not really. You aren't technically supposed to put your body weight on the actual bar, and even if you do, chin ups are going to be awkward because you're facing the wrong way. Taking the board off would be a hassle and kind of defeats the purpose of the item.

I use them sometimes for push ups, but my cousin uses them for a lot of different workouts like pull ups and similar workouts and loves them.

The chin-up and pull-up bars are not required, other variations are provided, good luck!

Yes. I use it for personal training, therefore I use it as a swat rack and bench press.

You could ,BUT it may require another person to hold it inverted. You might be able to do inverted pull-ups using the handles and this may require someone to hold in inverted position. Very little shifting of weight from the pivot point will move this in either direction. I've seen pictures of people doing at least partial sit ups with no problem.

Yes it can. I have owned it for over a year and it has held up great. I weigh almost 200 and it takes my kipping pull ups like a champ.

I have used it while lifting weights and a friend of mine uses it during his boxing work outs. I hope this helps you out.

It is the attachment that can be used as a pull up/chin up bar, a push up bar, or foot hold when doing inclined sit ups or crunches. You can attach it at the top or bottom of the machine depending on which exercises you want to use it for.

This is MADE for beginners to start working on their technique and gaining strength so that they can work up to doing unassisted pull/chin ups, eventually. Depending on how much assistance you will need, you may want to also order stronger bands to help at the beginning. Good luck.

I think so, unless you can put the band high enough like in the video. I was unable to do at my place. I love using the chin up assist. The great thing about it is that it is adjustable to your needs. So you can start out really using it and gradually loosen it so it is only "helping" you do them on your own.
