Love all the outdoor exercise equipment in the Fenny and Desoto areas but I'll drive anywhere just to some pull-ups! Thanks!

Sorry, I thought you said pull-up bra.
But anyhow try the outside exercise equipment at Miona Rec Center.

why not just put one in your garage and save the drive. When I was younger and into that I used my fingers and the top of an indoor door frame to do pull ups, try it.

Like to see a Fenny type outdoor gym on steroids, at or near the Polo Grounds...Much better than the old stinky, low ceiling S.S. gym..I would donate $ to the cause...

Easy and simple try this.
Get a rope, find a tree with a branch strong enough to hold your weight and Bingo.
Your Welcome :coolsmiley:
PS: I have lot's of other idea's.

If I were you I would just order one on Amazon and find a place in either your house or garage to put it up. We have a TRX mounted to an eye hook, which is screwed into a stud on the side of our house, that we use in our birdcage for working out. It works great, and since it is right there in our birdcage we have no excuse for not exercising on a regular basis.

Assuming you have the space, you can buy a "power tower" or dip station for a few hundred $'s and those have an excellent pull-up bar with a number of other exercise options.
I don't like the bars that mount in doorways. You're putting a lot of stress on the door frame (more so for larger people) and unless your short you start in some awkward manner and the grip width is too narrow.
There are plenty of other options out there as noted.

There are two workout areas at Lake Miona. The one farther from the parking lot, behind the restrooms is the one with the pull up bars.

Lake miona rec center definitely has one . Find basket ball court, look down hill, you will see outside exercise area. Push up, sit ups, pull up, etc.

Terrific!!! That’s what I needed to know! NOW I can find out where a pull bar is for a cold beer.

I use one of these mounted on a closet doorway and then you can take it right off to store out of the way.

Good one LOL. But I thought they were called push up bras. Afterthought here in TV pull up is more appropriate.

I think my idea is the best hey the cost of a clothesline rope is the way to go. Double it up sling it over a hefty branch and pump away.
As I have mentioned I have many idea's that I am willing to share.
Always willing to help. Bottom line I am always willing to help. :duck:

Two sets of bars good for pullups located at Lake Okahumpka Park (SR44 east of Buena Vista) near the oval jogging track.

At Lake Okahumpka Park on Route 42 between Morse and Buena Vista there's an entire workout system on the red trail, it includes a pull up bar.

Consider using the outdoor equipment piece(I believe it is designed for wheel chair use). Your beginning position is with your knees flexed and toes touching the ground but you can raise your body weight off the ground like a pull up!
Lake Okahumpka Park in Wildwood, 6085 FL-44. Very close by. Great shady walking with lots of exercise stations including pull up bars!

I doubt the drywall in any of these homes could support a pull up bar
