Our Home Gym Rack Collection
We offer a wide range of power cages and squat racks that suit both commercial gyms and at-home fitness setups. Whether you're interested in strength training or functional fitness machines, a rack from our range will meet your needs. We stock wall-mounted and folding squat racks in addition to freestanding squat racks.
Many of our squat and power racks come equipped with rack attachments that enhance your training and ensure a safe workout. Our spotter arms are used to catch your load in the case of a failed repetition. We also stock J-cups, or J-hooks, which are hooks designed to support your barbell between sets.
Our racks, especially when combined with compatible rack attachments, offer many benefits to strength trainers. Their solid structure, high weight capacity, and safety features allow you to lift heavier weights and push yourself harder. You can expect the following from our at-home rack range:
Power racks
Power racks consist of four uprights that are horizontally connected to form a cage-like structure. This is why they're also referred to as power cages.
Power cages often form the basis of a gym setup. Their multipurpose functionality makes them ideal for everything from basic fitness training to intense strength sessions. A power rack is a great addition to powerlifting equipment, CrossFit equipment and functional equipment. Invest in a power rack for your home or garage gym to unlock various exercises for your future workouts, including squats, pull-ups and bench presses.
Squat racks
A home squat rack is a key piece of weightlifting equipment that features two uprights rather than four. Similar to a power cage, these racks allow you to perform a wide variety of exercises. Squat racks come in three variations: folding squat racks, freestanding squat racks and wall-mounted racks.
As the name suggests, you can intensely engage your leg muscles with squats and lunges, along with their many variations. Because these racks do not have overhead obstructions, they are also useful in targeting upper-body muscle groups through the shoulder and bench press.
Squat Stands
Squat stands open floor space for better movement thanks to their compact design. They feature two upright posts and J-hooks or J-cups to safely attach a barbell for a more dynamic workout. Squat stands are suitable for those looking to lift while still saving space.
Primarily used for squats and bench presses, they’re great for beginners who want to use a barbell with some resistance. The purpose of the squat stand is to provide stability and safety while allowing you to utilise various weights and intensities.

FAQs
Which exercises can I perform using racks and benches?
Racks and benches enhance any home workout regime, regardless of your training style. But we understand that with new equipment, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start.
Here are some exercises that you can perform using home power racks and benches:
-
Pullups: Great for working your triceps and building formidable upper-body strength! Pullups also work your back and shoulder muscles, so you’ll get that nice V-Taper with functional strength to boot.
-
Squats: It’s in the name! Squats help improve your hip flexors, glutes, quads, calves, hamstrings and abs.
-
Deadlifts: Deadlifts target those sweet back muscles, your shoulders and legs too. It helps to keep your back straight when attempting these and it’ll help improve posture as well as strength and muscle mass.
-
Lat pulldown: Performed with an adjustable resistance (changeable plates) and a straight bar, pulldowns can be beneficial for both bodybuilders and athletes. Pulldowns work important muscles in the back, arms and shoulders as well as engage your abs and hip flexors thanks to the seated position.

What are the benefits of a squat rack?
Other benefits of squat racks include their compact size and portability. This is extremely helpful since investing in a squat rack for your home gym is a great way to save space. You'll also gain the flexibility to change around your setup as you expand on your strength training equipment.
What factors should I consider when choosing a home gym rack?
When deciding on a gym rack for your home, it's important to consider the following:
-
Space: If you have limited room in your training space, a more compact rack is the way to go.
-
Maximum weight capacity: If you're an experienced lifter, you'll need a sturdier rack that can support heavier weights.
-
Exercising goals: Want a rack that will add variation to your training style? A modular power rack can support many different rack attachments, including everything from landmines to dip bars and pull-up bars.
What are the benefits of a power rack?
Power racks are essential if you want to maximise your gains. You can do a wide variety of exercises with a power rack safely thanks to the J-cup and safety bar attachments. Using a power rack for your home gym means you can safely bench, squat and lift without the need for a spotter.
You can use a power rack with various accessories, such as a bench, barbell and weight plates. This means you can get the benefit of a full-body workout.
Squat racks vs power racks: Which do I need?
Both home squat racks and power racks are ideal for lifting weights and can increase your safety during training. Key differences between the two are their sizing, sturdiness, modularity, and affordability. Consider these factors when deciding between a power rack or a squat rack:
A power cage is typically larger and sturdier than your average squat rack for a home gym. Its stable structure allows you to safely push your limits when lifting heavier weights. Power racks are also more modular; they allow you to build onto your rack to explore a wide range of exercises, such as deadlifts or overhead presses.
While you can use a squat rack for many of the same load-bearing exercises as power racks, it's a far more compact model. Having a lighter frame is one of the major draw features of a squat rack, as it allows for versatility and easy moveability. These racks often come with a lower price tag than power racks.
