Ordered one and just returned it to the store. Very flimsy. My recommendation would be to skip this and wait for something else.
Just what I need to repair my T60 power armor!
If you aren't powerlifting this is good for your average lifter. From what I've seen in the gym over the years, most people won't be squatting more than 245 or benching over 225. This handles those weights but you can't rack it aggressively, nor should you really ever. Frankly for 200$ its a pretty sweet cage - thats just my experience. I was looking for a squat and bench rack. This is a bonus with the pullup and ability to add on pully attachment.

There isn't any stock rack on the sides, though, for the weights, which stinks.

Bought this in December of 2021 and have been happy with the purchase. No It's not a sturdy professional gym piece of equipment for sure but it is very good piece of equipment at this price. I'm 175 lbs and do pull up an windshield wiper exercise with no issues. Yes it does have some wobble but it has worked well for what I need from it. I've benched and squatted over 225lbs on this with no issues. This is where this unit shines. I would not hesitate to throw more weight on this and it should work for what I need for many years. I would buy it again at this price. It is a larger frame as others have mentioned but hulkfit accessories from Amazon do work with this. Walmart also usually has the accessories available for a decent price as well. Just watch for sales. Many times can price match with Amazon and vice versa.

The only thing I worried about was shipping/packaging. The product is heavy enough and the packaging was damaged when it arrived. Other reviewers have had similar issues. Luckily for me all the pieces were there and nothing inside the box was damaged. But this equipment could definitely be packaged better. Walmart is great with returns so I had no issue with taking a chance there.

Looks like a rebranded HulkFit cage, which has a wonkey 2.35" x 2.35" frame so 2x2 attachments don't fit properly. Overall the cage is decent quality for the money but for a cheap cage, I like the Fitness Reality cage better since it uses 2x2" frame.

I ordered this a couple weeks ago and it works just fine. All Holes matched up perfect. I Bought some attachments to hold the Plates and have about 400lbs in plates loaded on it and it holds up Fine. I recently Bought the LAT Pulldown attachment as well and it attached with no issues.

Can't beat it for the price.

Negative. It is not flimsy if installed correctly. Super sturdy once you add the plates to the side of the squat rack like you would at your local gym. I had it for 3 weeks now and weigh 200lbs and do pull-ups almost daily with no issue.

For this price it is a very good deal for what it is. Like mentioned, just add some plates on the side for stability. Check more expensive 2x2 racks from known brands, there are not that much heavier. But the power tech j cups if you want to upgrade. Cur people complaining about safety, I am sure you are not powerlifters benching 400+ pounds. Check Coop's video from garage gym reviews testing the fitness reality rated at 800 lbs and arguably more flimsy then this and the safety bars did not break when dropping 800, so... One drawback of these cheap racks is that hole spacing is pretty big.

I have the half-rack version of this -- so far, so good. As soon as I tightened the bolts to hell ( the point where the metal bent a bit), it's been pretty sturdy. However, So far, I've had 295lbs on the hooks and 575lbs on the catches with no problems. No idea how long it'll last, but it'll work for now!

For anyone wondering, though, the dip bars on this one seem better. The half-rack version comes with smallish handles that are meant to be mounted on the safety catches, which are too narrow for broader folk.

Can you please link the attachments( to hold plates or others) that you ordered that fit these holes.

I agree with this. I bought one and I have zero complaints

Crap rack, but if you're on a very tight budget it will do the job.

It's 145 lbs. Even a novice lifter could pick this up and move it around the gym at a run. It will absolutely do the job in a pinch, but it also absolutely 100% flimsy AF.

Had exactly the opposite experience. Nothing close to this price range will have 0 left/right wobble (they just aren't designed to reduce that). But that doesn't impact the functionality at all since motions above ground level will be in the other two dimensions (up/down, forward/backward). I used an impact driver to get the bolts really tight, added some weight holders, and I have zero issues with this on carpet. I'm very happy and have been using it for about 8 months without any issues. I like that is it more beefy than anything else in the price range. For $200 I have no doubt this thing will last at least 15 years.

Could you tell us what weight holders you used?
