Best Fitness BFPR10 Multi Press Rack

I have had this rack for 1 month now. Aside from the packaging that could have been better, the rack is working out great! It was very easy to put together, with a minimum amount of tools. I would recommend this to anyone looking for this type of equipment

PowerLine PPR200X Power Rack

We’re very pleased with the squat cage, but the shipper was a nightmare. They said they would call about 2 hours before the cage was to be delivered so someone could be there (it comes in three fairly large boxes). I waited all morning and never got a call. Then I looked outside — we were having a severe thunderstorm with lots wind and rain — and saw the three boxes sitting in the driveway, soaking wet. Ceva Logistics was the shipper. I’d be very happy if the company didn’t use them anymore.

Valor BD-3 Squat Stands

Simple squat stands. Easy to assemble. Very adjustable and easy to adjust. I use this for strength training to supplement my Crossfit workouts at home.

Champion Step Squat Rack Gym Equipment

This rack is perfect for home use. You can do squats confidently w/o a spotter. Great for military presses also. The rack is fairly large. Make sure you have enough room, it sticks out into the room a bit. More than the picture looks. It will stick out even more if you put plates on the holders near the wall. The top position is for people probably taller than 5′10 or so. If shorter you can easily use a lower pin to start your squats, with not problem all all, it appears designed for multi height users. It does take up a fair amount of room but you can store things like roman chairs, and exercise balls inside it when not in use. I highly recommend this rack. An extremely safe way to do squats.

Assembly note: This rack is easy to assemble. You can do it in about 20 minutes. It’s MUCH easier though if you have a second person hold the upright pieces while you attach the cross beams. These are tall, top-heavy, unwieldy pieces to try to hold and bolt at the same time.

Shipping note: I’s sure it was a fluke, but my package ARRIVED WITHOUT ANY BOLTS, NUTS OR WASHERS. The diagram clearly shows metric bolts, and lists the size. I’m sure it was an oversight. The rack comes in a large, thin rectangular box. Inside is another sealed box. I thought it contained the bolts but did not. (Only had the plate holder attachments). I did not want to wait to use it so I went to the hardware store and picked up the bolts, nuts and washers for under $10.00 I realize this would infuriate most people (rightfully so). But the product itself is so excellent I still give it 5 stars. And thankfully all the bolts on the entire rack are the same size. It assembles very quickly (about 20 minutes).
