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

To Good To Pass Up…
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!!!

Very decent for the price, but only if you can’t afford better
I struggled with giving this 4 or 5 stars. I really regret not getting a different cage that was more sturdy, larger, and had the option for a lat pulldown. But I was being cheap on the one piece of equipment I should not have been cheap about. Anyhow for the price you absolutely cannot beat this cage. It’s good quality, but does have many trade offs for price. If you really can’t spend the money, and aren’t a heavy lifter then I can recommend this all day long.My negatives, which aren’t really huge negatives: The cage does move around a fair bit. If you like to rack your weights aggressively, like I do, then be prepared for a second where you wonder if the cage is going to tip backwards, or flop side to side. Honestly it’s not going to flip, it has those back legs that would keep it from that, but it still feels a bit flimsy when racking weight. But just having the weight sitting on the cage is very sturdy and unracking it is not an issue. I’m also not a fan of the matte powdercoating they are using, it really scratches way too easily. I’m comparing this to commercial gym units where I can throw an Olympic bar at the cage and you won;’t see the slightest scratch, but of course that’s comparing $10k versus what this costs so it’s an unfair comparison. Still, I would have paid just a bit more for better powdercoating.I also wasn’t overly fond of the pull up bars. I have only 80″ ceilings in my basement so I had to hang them upside down. Yeah it’s possible this contribute slightly to the flimsiness. I can do pullups with no issues, but have to bend my legs up. Once again not a big deal for the price.The only true negatives are the weight holders, they are very bad. They will totally ruin the knurling on your bar as they are metal to metal. They also come loose if you laterally translate the bar even just a little, very scary and dangerous. The first thing you should replace is these, with some nice rubber coated J-hooks. I also added some Titan plate holders.Last negative is it’s unable to accommodate a lat pulldown. This isn’t an issue with how it was advertised as I knew this when I purchased it. But it wouldn’t have been difficult to engineer an addon lat pulldown for this. But I’m sure they would prefer you buy their higher end cage, which I can’t blame them.Anyhow overall it’s very positive and a nice cage if you are on a budget. But if you have the money and the room don’t be cheap and look at other options.

Muy buena jaula para hacer tu gimnasio en casa.Llevo un mes usándolo y aguanta bien la barra con las pesas y se puede hacer muy bien las abdominales de todas las formas.Llegó mucho antes del tiempo estimado, en buenas condiciones.Fácil de armar con su instructivo, nada más hay que tener en casa la herramienta adecuado, con una llave perico es suficiente con ayuda de la herramienta que tiene incluida en la jaula.

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!
