Nov 21, 2023 - Cameron BrierleyWhether you’re outfitting a home gym or a commercial gym, a rack setup is bound to be at the top of your priority list. It allows you to tap into the key compound movements: squat, bench and deadlift, and—with the smarter solutions—cable exercises and other movements.
But with a variety of price points, styles and features to choose from, it can be daunting to know where to start. That’s why we’ve put together some of our most popular products from across our range to help you navigate the world of gym racks.
Tucked-away powerhouse: our Phase 2 Folding Rack
Low profile, high performance. That’s how we’d sum up the Phase 2 Freestanding Folding Power Rack. It meets all of your power rack needs with a key addition: you also have access to a pulley system for your lat pulldowns and other cable movements. Choose between a plate-loaded pulley, which operates by loading weight plates onto a trolley at the back of the squat rack, or our pin-loaded option which features your more conventional cable stack.
It also folds away to just 1 meter in depth which makes it easy to store, whether it’s in your garage or a part of your house. Massive amounts of functionality in a small footprint? That’s why this rack is great for getting your home gym started.

All-round performance: our Phase 3 Power Rack & Cable Stack
Our Phase 3 line is special because it’s modular. This means, even after you’ve made your first purchase, you can add different elements to your rack until you have the ultimate training pod.

We’ve chosen to highlight the power rack and cable stack here, just so you have all of the functionality that you need in a home training space, but we also offer full power racks and other attachments in the Phase 3 line.

Unbeatable performance: our Phase 4 Rack & Cable Pulley Machine
Our Phase 4 line is quality that can’t be topped. It’s professional-grade equipment that’s suitable for commercial gyms and the most advanced home gym setups. It’s the same kit that’s used by the Premier League’s Luton Town FC in their training compound and allows for a juggernaut range of movements to be performed on it.
You have access to a 1:1 and 2:1 cable pulley, with the option of adding a pulley converter so you can use the 1:1 stack wherever you like. You can even take this setup one step further and opt for our variation that includes a build-in smith machine, too.

The multi-tasker: our Multi-Functional Trainer
The one that does it all. The Multi-Functional Trainer is a standalone piece of equipment, meaning it’s not modular and can’t be combined with any of the other phases to make into a larger rig. It is, however, the king when it comes to versatility. It’s a compact machine for how much you can do with it and competitively priced considering you can access a pair of cable weight stacks, a smith machine and a squat rack.

Our bestseller reimagined: the Advanced Multi-Functional Trainer
Our community went wild for the Multi-Functional Trainer we released in 2023, so it's only right that we built on that success with a rack that has even more customisation.
In the Advanced Multi-Functional Trainer, the side cables are now set at a 2:1 ratio for more manageable weight jumps, while an entirely new rear cable stack weighs in at a whopping 130kg on a 1:1 ratio. You'll have a tough time maxing that one out! It is quite a bit larger, though, so you'll need to take that into account before purchasing.
