Fitness Reality Power Cage Squat Rack with Optional LAT Pulldown, Cable Crossover, 800 lb Capacity, Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar, Adjustable Safety Bars, Strength Training for Home Gym

This is a really great product. It is well built, super easy to assemble in particular due to great instructions and really amazing organization and identification of the bolts, etc. It came with one small piece missing. Nothing that stopped me from putting it together...simply a rubber pad for the safety bar. I contacted the company via the included QR code they gave that automated the process. They responded quickly and sent a replacement pad and even a small gift card for choosing to use my own glue to glue it rather than send me some glue from Amazon. I truly love the whole experience. The rack is super solid and for the price close to a gym quality unit. Couldn't be happier.

Let me break a couple of things down real quick..I work for a living, sometimes 6-7 nights a week. I am pushing 50, but want to get back into shape. The government as we know takes most of our money, so I am pretty tight with what I get. I shopped around when looking for a squate rack. Even stooped so low as to browse the high priced, used trash on Facebook Marketplace. I shop a lot on Amazon, it's convenient due to my work schedule. So after looking around, I finally settled on this Fitness Reality squat rack and lat attachment set up. It took awhile to get here as it was being shipped by UPS for some reason, and in seperate packages due on seperate dates. UPS if you don't know, doesn't generally use careful hands when it comes to packages, and is not timely at all. So while spending a few days peeking out the windows like a package thief, I finally caught the deliveries securely. Alright the fun part. When I was a kid I use to rip open packages and toss the instructions to the wind. Not so these days. A word of advice, keep a couple of trash bags handy when unpacking the parts, as Fitness Reality goes out of the way to carefully package parts. I examined all parts, gathered up tools and set everything out for an easy assemble. Pretty much everything you need to will come with the kit, but there are easier ways, such as using an impact wrench, socket/wrech set, and make sure you have a utility knife to get through the packaging. I started out putting together the squat rack, NOT overly tightening anything. I kept EVERYTHING finger tight until even the lat attachment was finally assembled...just made things easier to fit. Then, I did a couple final shakes of the units while jumping around doing the final tightenings. The squat rack went together quick and flawless, instructions were not needed, but were included. It was a cake walk job from just looking at the diagram. The lat attachment however, lol...I had a couple of issues. For some reason I decided to use the instructions. Don't do that unless you need to. It was a mess, steps jumped ahead of themselves, parts stepped ahead of themselves, bolts seemed mislabled, etc...My best advice, lay your pieces out, make sure they are all there. Browse the instructions to see where the parts are located on the unit, then just jump in and toss it together. Again, I can not stress this enough...hand tighten ONLY until completed. If you do it that way, you should have zero problems. For my purchases, I have zero complaints. I have seen reviews and Youtube videos where people say chipped paint, or rust, missing parts, etc...All of my stuff was there, packaged great and with care from Fitness Reality. The price was extremely great and resonable, especially for what all this kit can do. Just know that if you are having them delivered by UPS, keep a close eye out, as the delivery dates they give do NOT match...EVER. UPS will leave your stuff exposed outside for all to see and in any kind of weather. They do NOT use kid gloves with your purchases either. And, for whatever reason, they are not requiring a signature for packages...just a dump and go. This is why I prefer Amazon, the delivery drivers generally follow my instructions and place packages on my enclosed deck, out of sight and weather. So yea, hope you enjoyed my ramblings. I'm blue collar, look for deals, and am NOT a paid representative of Fitness Reality or Amazon. If you have any questions about this product I will be glad to answer. I will further note that the lat pulldown system has 1" inch plate holders, so I bought seperate 2" slides that go right over them to accomodate my 2" plates. I also didn't feel comfortable with the 2 small safety bars and ordered larger ones...but that's because I turn into a beast when tossing around weights, it has nothing to do with the actual small safety bars. I fully reccommend this product from this company and in no way, shape, or form regret making these purchases. Good lift to you all!!!

I was able to get this at $330 dlvd. I was looking at racks 2 to 3 times as much, but the reviews for this one were much better. It's easy to assemble and looks great and is as sturdy as I could've hoped for in a free standing non-commercial grade rack. If you want to bolt it down there is ample room to tap holes at the ends of the feet and bolt down if you need. I also bought the landmine attachment from Fitness Reality, which is a must have, along with a set of J-Hooks which I prefer for Bench Pressing. Also I found a company out of NYC that makes standard size rack assessories that work perfect on the rack. I had to find a different company for some attachments because my weights are not Olympic. I inherited a large set of plates from my father that I want to keep and use and most of the rack add ons you see are for Olympic plates. I needed plate holders for the rack that were standard, not Olympic, and found the ones pictured. Overall the rack is a bit shorter than most out there, I am 5' 10" and I would say at most 6' 2" is the limit for your height to comfortably use this rack. I am also glad this is all bolt together with very few welds, especially where the main 4 posts meet the feet. I read a lot of reviews on racks, look at the ones for the Hulk racks for instance, those welds fail on many. Also the packaging is genius and assembly is simple really. Every bolt and nut is the exact same, if you have a set of sockets you will knock it out no problem. If not they do include a couple basic wrenches. If you have a cordless impact with a socket adapter you will rock it out in 30 minutes no prob. One person can do it with not much effort, the 1st crossbeam will be the tricky part, but 2 people makes it super simple. Now I see it swing from as low as $240 and all the way up to $499, so if you keep watch you can snag it at a steal but think it's worth the $499 for sure. I am totally happy with what I got for the money I spent and expect to use this rack for decades.

Packaging is excellent, 2 boxes total. Instructions are simple and easy to follow. Assembly was ok with the included tools, highly recommend a socket set for faster assembly and silicone grease for the pulleys and chrome upright. All the weight horns are 1-inch with 2-inch sleeves, useful for standard sized plates. The main uprights (4 total) are 2 pieces held together with 4 screws (thread locker may be useful) in the center. Once fully assembled this does not present any issues as the rack is very stable. Overall, a great rack for the price.

TLDR: great value for the price. Hits all the essentials and is efficiently sized. To give context of the type of athlete I am: I strength train consistently, bench 220lbs and squat 275 lbs at 181 lbs. Ultimately, I would consider myself a intermediate weight lifter who trains to be fit and look good. Due to COVID and elevated chances of getting it at a gym, I decided to invest into a home gym; with a Power Rack as my first purchase. My objective was to buy a Power Rack that will be safe to lift moderate to above moderate weight. And of course, I was looking for a product with the best value. I also did not have the option to bolt down a rack or bolt a rack to a studded wall, since it was going to be in an unfinished basement. I researched all of the top brands and read/watched many online reviews (shout out to Cooper at Garage Gym Reviews!). Pretty quick, it became clear that there were two options: go with a top brands like Rogue or go with a budget-friendly brand, many of which can be found on Amazon. The top brands come with a high price tag but you get what you pay for: sturdy and consistently build equipment with great customer service and warranties to back it up. One hiccup in the process was not many items are in stock due to the low supply in the industry. I was turned on to the FR 810xlt from a YouTube review, which concluded that this product has all the essentials needed in a Power Rack for about a quarter of the price of the top brands. I also liked the attachment options - I ended adding four plate storage pins, the dip bars, and landmine attachment. I nearly bought the lat pull down attachment too but found an alternative pulley system that took up less space and was removable (I highly recommend that too - they're about $50; in contast to the $200+ listed on Amazon for the FR lat pull down attachment). Pros: - It is sturdy... enough. There is a very slight wobble but it's nothing to be concerned about if you are under the max weight cap. This slight wobble is expected since the rack isn't bolted in. -The space in the power rack is perfectly sized for one person. Any less space would be too tight to comfortably lift. Any more would take up space for other equipment in your workout area. Perfectly sized for my needs. -The paint quality and finish is not cheap. I have already done my fair share of aggressive barbell reracks and would have thought by now some of the paint would've chipped off. I'm happy to report the rack looks fantastic still. -The Price. When I bought this rack a month back, with was ~$250 without the attachments. That's incredible for the level of quality and costistency offered by this Power Rack. Even if the rack has increased in price due to lack of supply, this is still worth the price point. Cons: -The holes are not numbered. This honestly is not a big deal to me. I'm going to by some magnets to label which holes I use for each exercise. -The rack didn't come with wrenches for configuration. I ended up having to buy a socket set, which I should've had in the first place. -The Packaging is very heavy. Fair warning... You will want someone else with you to carry it. Say sorry to the UPS guy too. -The assembly process was difficult for one person. There's a lot of bolting and socketing. That was a work out on it's own. It probably took twice as long for me to set it up since i did it myself. I recommend having someone help you, if possible. The manufacturer recommends that as well. -The pull up bar handles are a little slick. I wish the were knurled or had some texture for a better grip. If that's a concern for you, you can buy pull up grips on Amazon. -The pin holes are only on two sides of the upright (front and back). Fitness Reality probably did this for the structural integrity reasons. It would be nice to have holes on all for sides. It would allow for so many more attachment options. In conclusion, this rack is one of the best values on the market. I was very close to purchasing a Rouge Monster Lite rack but I decided to take a chance on this rack. I'm very glad I did. I have a feeling this rack is going to be with me for a very long time.

This rack has been good for solo lifting at home. Doing rack Pulls, pin squats, and pin pressing. It helps you try max effort and work your sticking points in bench, deadlift and squat. I lift alone and the pins give me peace I have a spotter and I won’t destroy my patio floor if I need to ditch the weight. It’s helped my max shoot up in numbers since I start in the hardest point for me in those lifts grinding thru sticking points to lock out. The pins really Help doing all these lifts solo and you can ditch the weight easy without a problem, but I don’t really have to since I’m starting with the load on the pins themselves, if I can’t lift it in that weak spot I take weight off.. Its a feat of strength training I adopted back in high school and I missed from home workouts. If you haven’t tried pins squats ect give it a go. I put towels on the pins so it doesn’t make so much noise and keeps it from getting scratched. Plus it doesn’t move around easy the towels keep the barbel in the same spot as if you racked it. Great quality and build. It Does shake but it’s not really bad, it’s not commercial gym racks but nothing to really be afraid of since i control whatever weight I use when I put it back. I’m also not hitting 700lb DL, bench not squat at my house. I’ve loaded 390 on the j hooks and pins and it doesn’t make a difference like 225 is on there. You should control the weight anyways at that high of number for safety concerns so if u slam your weights around like a monkey probably spend an extra 200 for a more sturdy cage but I have not seen any issue with it even though the comments say otherwise. I was skeptical and garage gym reviews on YouTube showed me this is the best bang for buck with there tests/review they did in the rack. Best upgrade I’ve made to my home gym. Now I gotta buy more plates lol

I have been lifting on and off for most of my life. I am now 73 and haven't lifted for 20 years. Getting too soft so time to start lifting again. - Purchased this rack and had it set up in about 30 minutes. Everything went together perfectly. I did all of the assembly by myself; assembly was a breeze. The rack was packaged very well and arrived in perfect condition. No road rash at all. The paint was unblemished and the metal parts were formed perfectly. I purchased upgraded J-Hooks ahead of time because the stock hooks don't have rubber padding and the design is not to my liking. A very minor drawback considering the low price of the rack. I always lift by myself without a spotter. When I was 55 I felt confident lifting without a spotter. However, now that some years have passed, seems prudent to employ some sort of protection should I become unable to complete the lift. The 1" spotting bars fit the bill for this need perfectly. I can now try to crank out that last rep without fear of snapping my ribs should I run out of steam. I no longer will attempt max weight on any lift, but will focus on lifts I can complete in 6 to 15 reps. Meaning, I do not need a rack that can support 600 pounds. The rack looks plenty strong and can likely support 600 pounds without a problem. However, if you are like me and don't plan on being an olympic weight lifter, then this rack will be a perfect addition to your lifting equipment. Just make sure you purchase a solid bench and you won't be dissappointed. I have had the rack for 9 months now and I still love it. Recently I purchased the Lat pull down attachment. Wow, what a perfect setup for a home gym. I watched several Youtube videos pertaining to the lat attachment assemble and those were helpfull. All parts are packaged nicely and identified as to where they go in the lat attachment. The lat attachment comes with oil which you are instructed to apply to the slider. I lubricated the slider as instructed and discovered the oil is a waste of time. After one day of use the slider started sticking. However, I purchased some silicone spray and that works perfectly. I applied the silicone spray a month ago and it still slides perfectly. I have now installed several pulleys to the front of the rack which allows me to pull the cables from a variety of positions. I assembeled my rack in an unheated metal building and that is where it has resided since I purchased it. During the installation of the lat attachment you will need to disassemble much of the rack in order to attach the lat option. I noticed that all of the bolts that are used to construct the rack had rusted because the temperature gets cold during the winter in my unheated metal building and allows condensation of moisture on the cold metal parts. Would have been nice if they would have used zinc plated or stainless bolts to prevent rusting. Not a big deal for me. I will simply replace the bolts with stainless bolts and the problem will be resolved. If you keep your rack in a garage or some place that doesn't get super cold during the winter you probably won't experience the rusting issue. All things considered, I love this rack / lat option setup and would purchase it again without any reservations.

Can’t beat the quality for the price. The cables have a very smooth action and allow for a variety of exercises that weren’t possible with my previous power cage. Assembly took around 3–4 hours. To ensure you’re not there all day tightening bolts, you may want to invest in a drill with a socket attachment. The nice part is that, for as durable as the power rack is, it’s not extremely heavy—so as long as you haven’t loaded it with weight plates, you can move it fairly easily as needed. Also, their customer service is excellent: one of the cables was damaged in transit, and immediately upon notifying them of the issue, they sent out a replacement part.
