    You reviewed my rack! I agree with all the quirks and benefits you pointed out, no regrets. I have had mine for a year and it does everything I need. I got mine off Amazon and bundled a ritfit weight set and adjustable bench to save even more. Nothing amazing, does everything, cheap!

    Seems like a great deal. Could be the fix for most home gym users. The guide rods, angled weight horns, and multi-grip bar is great.
    Personally I would get a nice used rack+cable home gym, but those are cheap near me and I have room. Most people don't have room, or good used markets nearby.

    So some feedback from me, RitFit has also sent me the rack with my conditions being that it would be given to a friend of mine starting his gym. I went and put it together for him which was a relatively easy process. The materials felt pretty cheap to me and the final product is not something I would personally want/use. However, I had previously bought this friend a $100 or so basic squat stand from Walmart and he likes the RitFit rack a lot more. I will not be doing a video on this rack however as I found RitFit was quite rude/demanding in producing content despite my initial feedback that it was low priority for me and did not confirm a delivery date.

      In comparison to the Fitness Reality rack, similar materials? Or compared to something that can hold a whale? If it's comparable to the Fitness Reality, I squat 455 on it and feel fine, but I do have the storage horns for a good base. If the rack can just tank 800-1000 lbs falling at shoulder height, im not worried one bit.

    I will say, my rack, which is a gear for fit 1100, which is almost the same as the REP pr-1100, has a lat pulldown addon, and extra plate storage upright addons that would keep the rack price around the price of that thing, but I think a design I'd prefer over this one. Because you still have usable rack space without the pulldown being in the way. But it does mean you need more space for it. I have my rack in a small 6x9 area, so I don't have room for those addons.

    This looks almost the same as the major lutie plm03 (as in a lot of the parts look exactly the same) albeit with a few differences. The major lutie has adjustable dip bars, different spotters, and the functional trainer appears to have a bit more customization. The pull up bar doesn’t look like it has as many hand grips either, and the major lutie is also $150 more.
    Edit: major luttie rates their cables at 300lbs, I’d imagine these would have the same rating given that they seem to share a lot of parts.

    Great price and product but key limitations are: non-standard 2x2. So you won't be able to expand the utility to the bazillion 3x3 accessories. The spotter arms are just too short. I've had a rack with this size of spotter arms, it's way too short for squatting and barely enough for benching.

I can all but guarantee that with the cost savings of this machine compared to similar ones, you'll have quite a bit of money to spend on other equipment to more fully flesh out your gym. The durability and effectiveness of this company's equipment cannot be overstated, at least relative to its price.

    Can you review the Major Lutie PLM05? It seems to offer a lot of the same features for less than half the cost, with the biggest sacrifice being a lat pulldown in place of the cable crossover. But ive seen some crafty diy videos on youtube where you can turn a lat pulldown into a cable crossover with some cheap pulleys and cable.

    If you're able to could you take a look at the New Hammer strength HD elite ID rack. It looks more like it's going after Rogues racks

    Valor fitness has rack and functional trainer set up with a larger foot print. I’d like to see your thoughts on that.

    I've been looking for a set up just like this in this price range. Came across this one and the Major Lutie. Looking for your review on that one. If you could get around to it (or if I'm missing it) I would love to see a comparison of all the sub-$1000 functional racks like these. Thanks and keep up the great videos!

    Hey Coop. Thanks for this review. I love to see you diving into some of the more budget friendly, less premium options. Sounds like it’s already on your radar, but the Major-Lutie PLM03 will be a great comparison. I recently built my first home gym and did a mix of budget and more premium options (for example I actually went with the Major-Lutie rack, but for dumbells got the 80 lb. Nuobells.). Can’t wait to hear your take on the Major-Lutie rack. Just FYI that one has some nice “off-label” options like adding additional weight storage to the other side of the rack if you ask the company to send extra parts etc. (not talking about the upright mounted storage that you can buy, literally the one that comes with it and is bolted on. I reached out to Major Lutie and asked if I could get my hands on a second storage stand as it’s not sold separately and they sent me one….and it is awesome.

      @@camaroj24 short answer is that I love it and am really glad I got it. The longer answer is that this is the first home gym I’ve built so I don’t have a basis for comparison outside of working out in a commercial gym. I really wanted a lot of functionality and was sold on getting a power rack with a functional trainer as I figured this would give me the most options in terms of lifts and movements within the relatively small footprint that I was looking to convert to gym space. The rack feels pretty solid to me overall. It shakes a bit when I do dips but nothing that would make me uncomfortable or unsafe using it for that movement. I feel safe doing all my other lifts including squats, bench, shoulder press, etc., but I’m not a super big heavy lifter (maybe max bench of like 235 at my strongest and squat of around the same but this was years ago in my younger days so I don’t anticipate ever really exceeding that by much if at all) so it’s definitely been able to handle the kind of weight I’ve been putting on it. I’m also on the taller side but am able to do tricep push downs on my knees and get a full range of motion (I sometimes had to do this on commercial equipment as well so not a big deal). The height of the equipment is actually good however as I would not have been able to go taller due to my basement ceiling height anyways. For lat pull down I jus use one side of the cables, go onto my knees and kind of sit back on the floor and I’ve found this works really well. I love that it’s got a landmine attachment too. Honestly when I was looking, Iwas really deciding between budget options like this one and something like a rep Athena or ares which was just in a total other ballpark in terms of cost. So I took a swing at saving a couple grand and hoped for the best with the more budget friendly option. I have not regretted my decision and have absolutely loved the setup with this as my centerpiece. If you want more insight into how it compares to other budget options or more premium options, could be beneficial to get Coops take if you can hold out for the review since this is my first rack. If you have any additional specific questions about my experience with it don’t hesitate to ask. Good luck with your rack build!!
