Solid and simple to put together
The hardest part of building this rack was unwrapping each individual item. Very straight forward and not a crazy amount of pieces. It seems overwhelming until you unwrap everything and see what you've got. Very sturdy and solid . My item arrived with a damaged box but nothing was damaged inside. It has lots of styrofoam and wood to keep it protected. Best if built with 2 people but can be done solo. Only complaint is there is an error in the instructions. Each page shows an image of the item needed for that step- no where on the instructions did it mention the L bracket. We only noticed it was in the building diagram but it is never mentioned in the instructions.

Disappointed
Very disappointed with my purchase. The pull up bar came bent. I am not able to use the pull up bar. I was told I would get a 10% discount because of it and never got anything. Terrible.

    Good product
    it was very easy to put together, same size bolts makes assembly much easier, its very stable, Im 6,4 and 197lbs and it doesnt move when I do pull ups, the jhooks could be bigger definitely kinda stressful when you have 200lbs over your head but if you have the safetys you should be okay, overall a good product worth buying

    Exceeded expectations!!
    I have been looking everywhere for an affordable but quality power rack to add to my home gym for a few years now. Never would I have thought to look at Walmart! I almost spent $1000 on a high end brand name power rack, and I'm so glad I didn't! The item shipped a week sooner than expected, which was a delight! The directions to assemble the power rack are easier than ikea directions, and all the equipment needed to assemble are provided! Although if you have a socket wrench, would definitely make assembly quicker! I also purchased the lat pull down attachment as well as the bench (on its way). If you are at all hesitant about the cost and skeptical if it is too good to be true, I'm telling you to buy this! I literally get excited to work out now that I have this to use!

    Must have!
    If you have the cage I highly recommend adding this on. We'll made, sturdy. Was packaged really well. Took me about 2 hours to assemble cage and Lat pull Down.

    Quality piece of equipment
    I am a 35 yr old woman who started lifting this year. Due to the pandemic, I needed something for my home gym. For the price, this is excellent quality! It shipped much faster than expected. I immediately assembled it (all by myself) and it took about 2 hours but is definitely do-able solo. The only additional tool I needed was a hammer for the end caps. Due to ceiling height, I absolutely attached the pull up bar inverted ;) I'm not doing pull-ups yet, plus I'm extremely short so it's fine for me. But if you're worried about ceiling height — attaching it inverted is an option.

    Great rack
    Great power rack, setup quickly. I have this outside currently and it feels like the finish will last quite a while. I want to buy some accessories for this like plate storage and another jhook set, would be nice if Progear sold those, but i'll have to find them somewhere else. I read some reviews with taller guys hitting their head, at 6ft i dont have an issue

    Great rack
    awesome piece of equipment. The price was decent. It wasn't too difficult to assemble. Remember to not completely tighten all the bolts until you are done assembling because you may need a little wiggle room putting everything together. This comes in a heavy box about 150 pounds. Shipping to longer than estimated but that was fedexs fault not walmarts. Also the balance form 1000 was 60 dollars more and if inad seen it sooner I probably would have have bought that instead. It comes with dip bars and plate holders. That alone is worth it. I'm not going over 800 for sure and 1000 is an overkill for sure but its nice to have the higher rating. Anyways I ordered the dip bars because I'm pretty sure they're interchangeable.

    Add a big variety of exercises.
    Came faster than I expected. Top of the line system, easy to assemble. No cage is complete without it!

    Best power rack for the price!
    If this is available, get it right away! Best purchase for my home gym ever. Very sturdy for pullups and any work out. Ive used this for squats and bench press and holy crap best thing ever. Assembled it by myself which was super easy. Also bought the lat pulldown attachment a few weeks later that was a litte harder to assemble but manageable. Overall, if its available.. get it NOW!

    Great quality and value
    It arrived as promised. The rack is well made and went together easily. I wouldn't recommend for someone much taller than 6 ft because of the rear upper crossmember. Your head will hit it when racking the bar. It's a very nice and affordable rack for home use. I use it for barbell squats, bench press, presses (overhead) and pull-ups. It's solid but I don't know how it would do with 500 or 600 lbs. I wish the j hooks were a little larger. I can't immediately tell if I'm securely on them when racking a heavy weight. I'm very happy with the product!

    Super weight cage!!
    I have two teenage boys that are growing and been wanting a pull up bar. So when I saw this product available for review, I thought this would be a great opportunity to get a pull up bar. It definitely met its goal, but it's so much more. Read on. First, I do have to tell you this package is very very heavy. Do not try to lift or move it alone. . I actually just left the package where it was delivered and opened it up and moved it piece by piece. Anyhow, the assembly went smoothly and took about 4 hours. The boys immediately tried the pull up bar over head. It has grips for multiple positions including for pull ups, chin ups, etc. Then we decided to test it's other functions. Besides the overhead pull up bars, there are two other horizontal bars in the back of the cage. It allows you to do other exercises including push ups. We then brought our weight bench into the cage, and set it up for bench press. The chrome safety bars were easy to adjust. There was plenty of space in there for the bench press, and it was great knowing the safety bars are there "just in case". Also the J hooks on the cage is very helpful in racking and unracking. We don't do much squats with free weights. But now with this cage, it definitely feel safer to do it and we'll likely work that more into our workout routine. Overall, this is an excellent wight cage. Highly recommend it!
