What rack would you get instead?
@Sole Hacks Right on! Just made a video about the two most basic Rep racks… stay clear of one of the PR-1100, IMO
Good points... I will be going with the Rep Fitness rack because of the 47" wide variation, as opposed to Rogues 49" variation.
Good call! That’s what sold me too! Not a fan of banging plates into the rack 😂🙌🏼
You would have less wiggle is you put the pull-up bars on the posts instead of the top rails.
Fantastic idea! I’ll likely have to modify the long pull-up bars by drilling an extra hole in the middle which will allow the normal pull-up bar to mounted along side sharing two of the same holes. Well done 👏
@@gymreviewer I detect a bit of sarcasm there. I suppose there is something I didn't see. Anyway, I have the same rack and it is solid and has far less movement than yours. I was just trying to help. Another thing I did was use a laser level and I shimmed the base so that every post was exactly level and plumb with the others. My floor isn't flat though. You may not have that problem, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to check.
Literally no sarcasm, your comment made complete sense. Every percent of horizontal rigidity in that plane would make sense. By adding an extra four inches of metal holding the rack down can significantly make a difference. I’m legitimately looking to incorporate this to the setup, thank you!

The plate storage is awesome
Thank you! I’m a fan of how they stabilize the rack, but it can be a pain to pick them up from the ground. Still worthwhile IMO!
If you install the rear stabilizer, there is no wiggle whatsoever. The rack would be solid like a tank.
Excellent point for anyone looking for more stability!
I had the rear stabilizer on the Titan X3 Flat Foot rack and really was not a fan... I love the flow through design of racks with out the stabilizers.
The rear base stabilizer and the front feet would keep it steady. Or even the weight storage
Thank you! What weight storage idea are you referring to? We currently have three sets of front foot extensions waiting in boxes in the garage! Looking forward to adding them to the racks for our new gym build!
@@gymreviewer the added post to the back to make it a 6 post rack with weight storage. Thats gonna run another $500-700 tho🥶
@@Qred09 Ah yeah, I see what you're talking about! I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about six post racks...
What was your power rack (or squat rack) in the original budget home gym you used to have? Just curious.
Great question! I have had quite a few racks. My favorite budget model is the T-2 Titan Fitness/ Rep Fitness PR-1000 series racks. If I had to go the budget route again, that is what I would put in my personal gym! :)
@@gymreviewer Thanks. This was a thoughtful and thorough review. Also liked the 2 part gym tour.
Thank you Brian, I really do appreciate the support!
First off, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am interested in building my own rep pr 5000 with a 16 inch depth as a half rack design and over time I want to save and add the ares module to that. I think I will use rogue monster feet as they are a few inches longer than the rep feet add ons. I am with you I would much rather have regular crossmembers on the top across versus the logo crossmember. I have a question hopefully you can help answer. As I want to do what you have done, just buy uprights and crossmembers (versus use the rack builder) - the website seems curiously absent about whether or not hardware is included with the purchase of the crossmembers. If the information is there, regrettably, I cannot locate it. Did your crossmembers come with the nuts and bolts or not?
Great question and thanks for the kind words, Tommy! My crossmember kits all came with the required nuts and bolts :)
Note: this purchase was over a year ago and may no longer be the case - I would highly recommend reaching out to Rep Fitness customer support before building your awesome new rig 😁
Enjoy!

@@gymreviewer thanks for sharing your experience!
Sorinex customer service is actually terrible, and by all accounts their quality control is also quite bad. They are just getting away with murder with their pricing, because of a reputation they acquired 4 decades ago. You dodged a bullet. REP and ROGUE are the way to go. Congrats on the new rack !
Thanks for your input! I would have to agree. For the home gym market I can’t really justify Sorinex. Maybe for a larger commercial facility, but even then the shipping costs can break the bank!
That being said, they do have some products that are absolutely top of the line (CMB’s and the Bulldog Pad are probably my two favorite).
Do you have a Rep rack?
Would the Rogue J-cups fit the Rep rack?
My guess is they will be a bit large, but can probably be fitted adding gorilla tape to the inside of the J-cups. I would definitely check a compatibility guide though. The Rep racks use metric sizing and the Rogue ones use the US system of measurement. I’ll DM you a link to a good resource 👍🏼
Why did you purchase three of them?
I ask myself that every day 😂
