Fitness Reality Squat Rack Power Cage | Optional LAT Pulldown & Leg Holdown Attachment | Squat and Bench Rack Combos | Super Max 810 XLT

Great centerpiece to start a home gym.
I have used this cage daily for roughly 3 months and the pros far outweigh the cons. Let’s start with the cons: (1) without being weighted down, the cage is a bit unstable for some exercises. Examples: I do leaning lateral arm raises where the upright is my anchor. Without weight on the cage, the rack would topple over. Also, when using heavy weight for landmine chest presses and using a plyo box as a psuedo fulcrum or point of support, the cage will lift off the floor at the point where the landmine attaches to the frame (think of a seesaw with only one person; person goes down while the opposite side goes up). That said, this is the tradeoff you make when you consciously purchase an inexpensive (note, I did not say cheap) piece of equipment with a small footprint designed for home use. Most of this is easily countered with weights low and at the corners as seen in the picture, provided you have the luxury of other weight available to perform the exercises. In my case, I use dumbbells for the leaning lateral raises and bumper plates for the landmine chest presses and leave the iron plates on the holders. (2) The smaller chrome hooks (not the long safety bars) that come with it leave something to be desired. As a result of the design, if you are shifting the bar laterally before un-racking, they can come unhinged if you are not careful. And, if you care about this sort of thing, they do not have high backs and you will scratch the uprights and potentially your bar when re-racking. It also makes for a clunky re-rack as the the hook is not flush with the upright. I opted for third party j-hooks with high backs and hard plastic “padding” (not the Fitness Reality ones) that solved this. (3) I would have liked the pull-up bar to have knurling. I use hockey tape, but it’s not the same.All that said, I have zero regrets about this purchase. I have not experienced the negatives in some of the other reviews. The item was packaged very well and there were no defects out of the box that I noticed. For the price, this is a sturdy piece of equipment and is manufactured well with quality material and I expect it to last much longer than I originally anticipated. It was easy to assemble and when all bolts are torqued properly, there is minimal to no wobble. I can see how some people would have issues with hitting their face on the upper horizontal support bar when re-racking after a squat, but I face the opposite direction. I imagine these folks have a mirror at the rear of the cage and this is why they face that direction. The hooks don’t have to be on the rear upright where that support bar is, either. Additionally, there are plenty of universal 2×2 attachments available (dip bars, j-hooks, landmine, etc.) that make this rack a solid centerpiece to build your home gym around. I opted not to purchase the lat pull down attachment and instead use after market pulleys and resistance bands, further enhancing the usefulness of this cage. With this cage and available attachments, there is almost no exercise that I cannot do at home that I could have done at the gym. I would highly recommend this item if you are able to get it at a reasonable price.

Best Bang For Your Buck
This went together super easy, and I’ve even had to take it down to move it again. The powder coating isn’t the greatest and is coming off in a couple spots (that happened immediately when putting it together), but I can’t complain too much for the price.It’s relatively stable, but I’d recommend keeping the weights on the rack or it does move around. I also have the dip bars on mine, and it’s solid enough for me to use them without any problems.If you want something cheap and good, just go for this one. Both my brother and brother-in-law use this same one and none of us have had any issues.

A pesar de que ha subido mucho de precio, sigue valiendo mucho la pena este equipo. Es muy fácil de armar y muy resistente, en YouTube hay un video donde le dejan caer más de 700 libras de peso y lo resiste (Buscar: “Dropping 700+ LB Bar on Cheapest Amazon Squat Rack!”). Tuve que poner la barra de dominadas al revés porque de lo contrario me pegaría en el techo al hacer dominadas, y no hubo problema, resiste perfectamente (incluso la uso para sujetar los aros). Por otro lado, es muy fácil de convertir en una máquina de polea alta y baja. En los hoyos pequeños que quedan de los postes frontales (y que no se utilizan), se pueden poner unas armellas y con unas poleas que compré en Amazon (marca National Hardware) se hace un sistema que se puede poner y quitar muy fácilmente y permite hacer todo tipo de ejercicios de cable con polea alta y baja. Compré también el accesorio para barra T de Yes4All aquí mismo en Amazon y se adapta perfectamente. Estoy encantado con mi compra!

This is my first rack. I have been using this rack for a few weeks now. I am 6’1 and I am able to do chin ups in, though sometimes my feet hit the floor, either way it still usable. I can also squat and bench inside the rack without any issues. Sometimes its a little difficult doing lunge style squats inside the rack, I have attached safety arms to the outside of the rack to perform them in front of the rack. My only complaint about the chin up bars is that its smooth metal, light gnarling would have been nice for some grip. I worked around this by wrapping hockey tape around the bars for the chin up part, works perfectly. I do weighted chin ups and it feels sturdy to me. My only other complaint about it is that it has no way to secure to the floor. I worked around this by putting “all-round” over the feet and screwing into the floor (able to do so where I have it). This keeps it from tipping and sliding when doing dips off of the dip attachment i bought, and also when doing any band work where I am standing out from the rack. You can also use 6′ barbells with this rack if you are limited on space like me. The collars will be really close to the safeties which can be annoying but they will sit safely outside the J hooks and safety pins. I probably wont be able to push the limits of this for a while, I am only ~160 lbs and only bench ~165 lbs and squat ~170 lbs though I feel like this rack can handle heavier loads (it’s tubular steel). I bought some additional j hooks and safety arms for the outside. The option for attaching a lat pull down machine is a bonus (if it ever comes back in stock); however I was able to build my own upper and lower cable system off of the rack. I built it a few weeks ago, I have only checked the bolts once and all were still as tight as they were when I put it together. Assembly was pretty straight forward, I was able to do it by myself without any issues. The fact that it uses 1″ holes means there are A LOT of compatible attachments.

Ottima rack e bella bella… esteticamente il top… arrivata anche in anticipo, imballo perfetto all’intero c’è tutto organizzato con istruzioni precise per il montaggio, pensavo fosse difficile da soli ma in due o tre ore massimo si avvita tutto..Grazie anche ad Amazon ho avuto in poco tempo dall’ordine la mia power rack a casa!
