Power Racks and Cages
Also known as power cages, power racks have a sturdy metal frame with four vertical posts and horizontal safety bars. They offer a secure space for various exercises, from squats and overhead presses to barbell rows and rack pulls, making them perfect for solo workouts and heavy weight training. As users can adjust the safety bars to different heights, these pieces of equipment can reduce the risk of injury.
Power racks often include J-hooks or barbell holders to support the weightlifting bar during exercises. They may also feature additional accessories such as pull-up bars, dip handles and plate storage pegs.
Functional Trainers
Functional trainers are power racks with a cable crossover system, providing the best of both worlds in a single machine. Along with offering stability for heavy barbell exercises, users can perform isolation and functional movements with the cables.
Squat Racks
Squat racks are a type of power rack designed for squatting exercises, but can also be used for bench presses. They feature two vertical posts with adjustable safety bars or catches, providing a stable and secure platform for performing squats with a barbell. This allows users to lift heavy weights safely without the need for a spotter.
Some squat racks include additional features such as weight plate storage pegs or band attachments. With a more compact footprint than power racks, these machines are great for gyms with space limitations.
Half Racks
A half rack offers the space-efficient design of squat stands but the sturdiness of a power cage. Although they aren't completely enclosed like power racks, half racks have two upright posts and adjustable safety bars. This way, solo trainers can still work out confidently. They can also include features like weight storage and pull-up bars.
Barbell and Weight Racks
Barbell and weight racks are essential for organizing and storing extra equipment to tidy the gym space. By keeping these items off the floor and in the designated racks, gym users can easily locate and access what they need for their workouts. This also minimizes tripping hazards.
What Are the Benefits of Owning Used Weight Racks and Cages?
Whether you're equipping a commercial fitness facility or a home gym, weight racks and cages are essential for any workout space. No matter which type you buy, here are some of the benefits you can expect:
- Versatility: From presses to squats, these weight racks and cages support many movements.
- Safety: Racks and cages offer users a much safer training session than using free weights, especially when working out alone.
- Affordability: Preowned equipment is often available at a fraction of the price, making premium brands more accessible and helping you set up your gym much faster.
- Space efficiency: As racks and cages are compact and allow for various exercises, you can maximize valuable floor space in commercial and home gyms.
How to Choose the Right Weight Racks and Cages
Keep the following factors in mind to help you choose the perfect weight rack or cage for your gym:
- Space: Measure your available floor space and choose a piece of equipment that fits comfortably, ensuring that there's still ample room to move around and stretch. For smaller gyms, a half rack or squat rack will be best.
- Experience level: Consider the experience level of those using the rack or cage. For example, functional trainers and power cages with extra accessories are ideal for experienced users, as these pieces of equipment are designed to handle heavy weights and intense workouts.
- Features: Determine which features will allow for a better workout experience. Integrated weight storage could mean you don't have to purchase an additional rack to keep your gym organized, whereas accessories like dip handles allow for a wider range of exercises.
