Owner Reviews

Rock solid rack for serious trainingMarcus T. · 2024-02-14
★★★★★

I've had my R-3 for over a year now doing heavy squats and bench work. Zero wobble, zero rust, and the Westside spacing makes dialing in my bench pins effortless. Worth every penny.

Commercial gym quality at homeDanielle K. · 2023-11-02
★★★★★

This rack feels like something you'd find in a real gym, not a garage. The steel gauge is noticeably thicker than competitors I looked at before buying.

Great rack, just budget for accessoriesChris P. · 2024-04-20
★★★★★

The rack itself is fantastic but don't forget you need to buy J-cups and safety arms separately. Once fully kitted out, it's an amazing setup for powerlifting.

Heavy but worth the assembly effortSarah M. · 2023-09-18
★★★★★

Took my husband and me about two hours to assemble because of how thick and heavy the steel is. That said, the stability during heavy deadlifts and pull-ups is outstanding.

Best investment for my home gymJake R. · 2024-01-09
★★★★★

I compared several racks before choosing the R-3 and I'm glad I did. The numbered holes and overall fit and finish are excellent. Highly recommend for anyone serious about lifting.
