Best Fitness Power Rack – 14-Gauge Steel Home Gym with 500lb Capacity, Chin Bar, 23 Adjustable Safety Bars, Optional LAT & Dip Attachments, Midnight Black

Solid rack for the price
Very sturdy rack. Looks great, although the red finish on the support arms starts wearing off almost immediately from abrasion from the weight bar. While seven feet sounds very tall, it’s not quite tall enough for me to fully execute an overhead press (I’m 6’1″). While not a defect of the product, it’s worth noting that the system actually requires far more space than the dimensions would indicate because you need to account for the weight bar at 7.2 feet. Harder to put together than some reviews suggest owing to poorly-written instructions and lack of numbering on the parts themselves, the fact that the very tall side arms are flopping all over the place during the entire assembly process until the top supports are finally installed at the end, and the awkwardness of the dual wrench system for tightening the bolts.EDIT: January 14, 2023: I’ve now had the rack more than 5 years and have moved to a new house, requiring disassembly and re-assembly. It has held up remarkably well. Aside from the abrasions on the places that directly support the bar, the red finish still looks good as new. It was $287.98 when I bought it, so the price has gone up considerably, but still a good value at the current $350.00.

Seems sturdy at face value but skeptical due to apparent lack of nuts and bolts…
I was super excited to set up my Best Fitness Power Rack upon getting home from work only to find out, after carefully laying out all the pieces, that there were a total of zero nuts, bolts, and washers to assemble said rack…Will be more than happy to update my review depending on how Best Fitness’ customer service rectifies the situation.

What’s a headline
Easy to put together good for small space could use a couple of more bars I don’t think would be good for real heavy stuff like over 250 pounds but it’s good for my uses I like it so far … The security pins at the ends of the bars could be easier to use … not good for a power lifter or heavy squatter but good for a home gym for most average guys I think

Great Value for the cost …
As with all of my reviews, I have rated the Best Fitness Power Rack on the basis of what I got for the price that I paid.This power rack cost me less than three Benjamin Franklins, when taxes and shipping were included. At that price, the rack impressed me with it’s finish and, more especially, with it’s assembly directions. The weld’s on my rack are clean (although, incomplete in some areas). There is a fine powder coat finish that scratches fairly easily but is nicely applied and looks really good. This rack came with the best owner’s manual that I have seen in years. The illustrations are large and very clear. There is a legend that shows every nut, bolt, bar and plastic cap. There are images of the bolts with the actual size of the bolt (so that you can lay your bolt over top of the image) to be sure that you are choosing the correct bolt size. The instructions are clearly written in English (by somebody who speaks English as their first language). I purchase a lot of high ticket items (some that are many thousands of dollars) that come with poorly written and poorly illustrated manuals. The people who wrote this manual should be teaching classes in how to properly prepare an owner’s manual (and could teach other manufacturers a thing or two about manual writing). Yes, I was really impressed with the manual.I should note that I am not using my power rack for weightlifting purposes. I already own a massive ROGUE Power Rack for that purpose. However, my Rogue Power Rack cost 8 1/2 times as much money as this one did, so I do feel that you are getting a lot for the money with this rack.For a beginner, who isn’t going to squat more than 350 LBS, this power rack is likely to be all that they need. I know that it is rated for higher weight, but it does have a little sideways sway (when fully and tightly assembled) and I would personally be a bit reluctant to pack much more weight onto this rack. No doubt, somebody out there has used it to it’s full capacity without incident, but I wouldn’t want to test that weight limit. The pull up bar isn’t tall enough for me to use, without bending at the knees (I’m 5’9″), but it is sufficient.How well the rack holds up to the daily stress of heavy weights will have to be assessed by others who are using it for that purpose. However, my observations are still valid. At this price point, I would not expect this Power Rack to be and do everything that the Rouge Power Rack is and does. That being said, you are getting a lot for your money with this rack. It is fair to say that the rack did exceed my expectations (based on what it cost). In my opinion, this power rack represents a really good value for the money!

Facile à assembler. Très solide. Permet entre autres de faire des squats de façon très sécuritaire.
