* Minimum ceiling height = rack height plus 1 cm clearance. Important: That's not enough for pull-ups — your head needs to go over the bar. Depending on your height, plan for at least an extra 30–40 cm above the pull-up bar and measure carefully in the basement beforehand.

For multiple stations

Rigs: from 1 to 6 stations

As soon as multiple people are training at the same time—in a gym, club, or company—a rig is the more efficient solution: multiple squat and pull-up stations in a single structure. Wall-Mounted saves space and uses the wall as an anchor, Freestanding stands freely in the room. Both grow along with the same grid.

Before buying

How to plan properly

Three numbers determine if your rack fits: Ceiling height, Base area and what additionally should go into the room. Measure before ordering — especially in the basement.

Ceiling height
  • Power Rack: min. 215 cm
  • Foldable Rack: min. 237 cm
  • For pull-ups: Allow space above the rod
Base area
  • Power Rack: 152 × 133 cm
  • Total training area: min. 2 × 2 m
  • Side: Space for loading the bar
Complete
  • Barbell + Weights: not included
  • Below: 20 mm rubber flooring
  • In addition: adjustable weight bench

Get started right away: The Bumper Plate Set + Olympic Bar (90 kg) delivers rod, washers, and closures in a set. The Adjustable Bench (up to 500 kg) fits in the rack, and the Connect+ Floor (20 mm) protects the subfloor and the neighbors' nerves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rack Purchase: The Most Important Answers

Power Rack, Half Rack, or Foldable — what is the difference?

The Power Rack has four posts and safety bars that catch the barbell on a failed repetition — the safest choice for heavy training alone. The Half Rack is open and more compact, with the same 500 kg load capacity. The Foldable Rack is wall-mounted and folds down to a depth of 9 cm after training.

What is the difference between a rack and a rig?

A rack is a single training station for one person. A rig connects multiple squat and pull-up stations into a single structure — as Wall-Mounted Version on the wall or freestanding in the room. Rigs are worthwhile as soon as several people are training at the same time: in a gym, club, or corporate gym.

What ceiling height do I need?

The Power Rack is 214 cm high (recommended minimum ceiling height 215 cm), the Half Rack 230 cm, and the Foldable Rack 231 cm (minimum ceiling height 237 cm). Please note: These values only apply to setting it up. For pull-ups, you need significantly more—your head has to go over the bar, so depending on your height, you need at least 30–40 cm of clearance above the pull-up bar. In basements with low ceilings, measure carefully beforehand.

What is included in the delivery — do I need anything else?

All racks come with J-hooks for barbell storage, power and half racks additionally with a pull-up bar, and the power rack also with safety bars. Barbell and weights are not included — you add those separately, most easily with the Bumper Plate Set + Olympic Bar (90 kg) as a complete solution.

Does the accessory fit every rack?

Yes. R-SERIES racks, rigs, and accessories share the same 26 mm hole pattern — dip bars, landmines, cable pull attachments, belt squats, and all storage solutions fit every rack and rig in the series. This means you can start small and expand at any time without having to replace anything.

Do I need to bolt the rack to the floor?

The power rack stands stable on its own with a net weight of 90 kg; for tipping-stress exercises like pull-ups, however, we still recommend anchoring it. The foldable rack is attached to the wall due to its design. On sensitive flooring, it belongs Soil protection under the legs.

Does a weight bench fit in the rack?

Yes. The inside width of the power rack is sufficient for a flat or incline bench, allowing you to perform bench presses safely with the safety bars set. Well suited is the Adjustable Bench — load capacity up to 500 kg and adjustable.

Are the racks studio-grade?

Yes. The Power and Half Rack have a load capacity of up to 500 kg, are made of solid, powder-coated steel, and are designed for continuous use in a commercial environment. The same racks are found in studios and clubs — for the home gym, that means more capacity than you will ever need.

How fast is delivery — and how does the assembly work?

Racks und Zubehör sind an Lager in der Schweiz und in 1–3 Arbeitstagen bei dir. Geliefert wird zerlegt; mit üblichem Werkzeug ist der Aufbau gut machbar, zu zweit geht es wegen Gewicht und Höhe deutlich leichter. Für Rigs und grössere Projekte we will advise you personally.

Why does shipping cost more than usual?

We completely understand if the amount comes as a bit of a surprise at first. When buying clothes or books, people are used to low shipping costs. However, fitness equipment is heavy and bulky – and that is precisely what makes transport expensive.

Here is the breakdown of the shipping costs:

Fair and transparent: Many shops hide shipping costs in the product price. We don't – you only pay what the transport actually costs. That's why our product prices stay low.

Therefore, the amount in the cart is an estimate. You will see the exact price at checkout as soon as you enter your postal code – even before you pay.
