Owner Reviews

Great value for a home gymMarcus T. · 2023-11-02
★★★★☆

Assembled this in about two hours by myself. The safety bars give me confidence to squat heavy without a spotter. Sturdy once fully bolted together.

Good rack, minor gripesDanielle R. · 2024-01-15
★★★★☆

Does what I need for squats, bench, and pull-ups. The J-hooks wobble a bit but nothing dangerous. Storage pegs are a nice touch for keeping plates organized.

Decent but footprint is bigger than expectedChris P. · 2023-09-20
★★★★☆

Make sure you measure your space first. It's a solid rack for the price, but the coating scratched within the first month of regular use.

Perfect for garage gymAngela M. · 2024-03-08
★★★★☆

Exactly what I wanted for squats and overhead presses. The multi-grip pull-up bar is a great bonus feature. Very happy with this purchase.
