Folding bar vs a fixed wall-mounted bar

This is the closest comparison there is: both bolt to a wall, both do pull-ups and dips. The difference is what happens the other twenty-three hours of the day.

A fixed bar is permanently in the room. Forty-five centimetres is roughly the depth of an office chair; sixty-five is a full bookshelf. In a hallway or a small bedroom you walk around it, hang washing on it, and eventually resent it. MITZ folds to ten centimetres — shallower than a radiator — and the corridor goes back to being a corridor.

When the other one is the better buy

If you have a wall nobody walks past — a garage, a spare room, a cellar — the folding mechanism buys you nothing, and you would be paying €360 more for a hinge you never use. Buy the fixed bar. It is a good product and it is cheaper for a reason.

MITZ earns its price in rooms where the space matters more than the money: a rented flat, a hallway, a bedroom, anywhere the equipment has to disappear between sets.

Where these numbers come from
