Update with the Omni if you add to make it a six post and have the lap roll you gained about 10 inches more back in four space because the post pushes back into it.
Enjoy the Rogue rack. Everything I've ordered from Rogue has been nothing short of outstanding, in terms of quality and if I weren't working out in a basement with low ceilings, I would have purchased a Rogue rack. But Rogue doesn't make racks with 80 inch uprights and REP does. So, I ordered the PR 4000 and got all my attachments for it, from Rogue. The attachments are of vastly superior quality to the rack, itself.
Great review. I've been thinking about putting a squat rack in the home in the future, so space is definitely an issue and it won't be bolted down. Sounds like this might be a better option than the ordinary PR-5000.
Picked up the Omni 30” version in blue. Wanted to start out with half rack and see if I want to expand it at some. I think that’s a great option. I initially wanted a PR5000 but it was only available in mismatched colors.
Another great review. Could you make a video on the best garage gym equipment for those that want to build a gym, but still need to park in their garage? Large racks like this are great, but folding racks, wall mounting strength equip, portability, folding, and store-ability matter to many viewers who would like to optimize their gym, while maintaining their car parking.
Still don’t see why anyone would get this over the PR-5000. It’s the exact same just this has a flat foot design, and it looks to be more expensive then the 5000.
I think its better compared to the HR-5000 than to the PR-5000. With the HR-5000 you have bolt-on band pegs top and bottom along with a shorter cross member. With the HR-5000 you can't expand but with the Omni you can. Changing band post design was a better move from the bolt-on option and getting rid of the overhead band pegs gives more space for the ISO arms and overhead movements. You can also expand the Omni rack out to accept more accessories later like the belt or lat pull. Instead of having to buy a brand new rack you can just update yours.
Exactly. Uprights bolted down to the flat foot... it's not that stable. Basically the bolts are taking the heavy lifting. I don't understand at all why REP came out with this rack. REP has the longest front foot on the market (26" vs Rogue's 13"). Nothing makes more stable a rack than those front feet. And you can set them up for all 4 uprights. REP may have some 'leftover' uprights and crossovers and don't want to waste them.
Sorinex had those hybrid half racks back in the ealry 2000s. My high school got them in 2000 I believe. I ended up finding one off Craigslist for 350$ (including the matching bench) in phx when Arizona st upgraded their weight room. I've had it for the last 10 years until I upgraded to the rep pr 5000 last year. Its a cool concept and feels good to lift in.
Coop, you cannot review an Rep Omni rack without reviewing an Omni Fitness Rack. Please contact me, so we can get you hooked up with one and some other stuff for review.
I want PR 5000 in White. Problem with REP is that they rarely have the right color combination. If you can find uprights in the color of your choice, then crossmembers are not available. Besides, the price difference between REP and Rogue is deminishing. I would just go with Rogue.
I would love to see you review the Titan tall yoke. Especially its usability as a rack when you add J cups and spotter arms. Seems like it might be a good home gym option for saving money and space
I got this, My reasoning was that although its almost redundant to the 5000 rack, it was in stock. Nothing else is so why not? Steel prices are rising so you gotta act quick!
I ordered this rack, with 6 posts and the weight storage, but they sent me 2 bases, and 4 posts. I have the cross members to connect two more posts, but don't have them for the second base. I also got 2 pull up bars, so I'm just a few items short of two racks. Since they didn't want this back when support (finally) recognized the error, I'm mapping out how to use my space efficiently and add a whole second rack.
So the PR 5000 is the same as PR 5000v2. I built my rack at rep fitness its a pr5000. Iam a little confused I chose the 80" rack and 30" if I buy lat pull down attachment and stabilizer I won't need to bolt it down correct?? Will the rogue leverage arms work on this rack? OK this is my dilemma.🙄 I currwntly have this set up PRX wall rack and separate valor lat pull down machine, separate rogue pull up bar, separate rogue band station with matador dip attachment and landmine (this is what I currently have right now) and many of other things.. I want the rogue arms so for that I will have to get another rack I think so I been looking at the one mentioned avobe..now if I get the pr5000 with lat pull down, rogue leverage arms, dip, land mind and pull up bar attachments I can sell all my other stuff and this way I will have everything consolidated in one rack..don't know if I will like everything cramped up in one place though🤔🤔. Or maybe just replace prx wall rack with rogue wall rack and keep everything else in separate stations like I have it now??🤔🤔
It seems to me the flat feet would be better on the floor than the 4 post design if you don't bolt it down or have it on concrete.. Lets say you drop the bar by accident on the safeties or the straps.. with the 4 or 6 post that don't have the flat feet, all of that force is coming down on six really small surface area points.. It's like six very small beams being thrust very hard down onto what it's sitting on.. So like I have 5mm rubber mats covering a hardwood floor, and I'm renting. I would feel a lot more comfortable with the flat foot design, because if you accidentally drop the bar then all that force is being redistributed into two very long points of impact and it's a slapping action, as opposed to a stabbing action. You can test this right now with your own hand and body.. Take a finger point it out and then ram your finger into your bicep.. Now with the same amount of force, slap your bicep with your palm. You will notice the finger is much more painful and potentially damaging than the palm.
I'm definitely NOT an engineer, but would the crossmembers (PR-4000 or PR-5000) not help with the force impact even though they are not flat on the ground?
I am comparing Rogue to Rep for a garage rack that need not be bolted to the ground. Rep seems to be much more flexible in this regard. Is this merely a difference in risk between the two companies or are there bona fide design differences between the racks that enable the Rep racks to offer more options than Rogue in their no-bolt racks? Plus, I notice that Coop doesn't seem to think that any rack needs to be bolted down. Is this true? If so, why?
Coop, I don't do instagram, but I have a question. How much taller does the foot supports make the rack? This is important for fitting into basements and to determine if an 80" post would now be viable for taller folks.
I really want to see someone hang a heavy bag off the side of an unbolted rack, from a Rogue Shrimp Trawler to see what it does to stability. I've seen pictures online, but I keep thinking if you hit it hard enough it's going to shift and/or tip over
Coop, Is there a way to configure this incorporating the lat pulldown attachment, weight storage and a 24” depth between the front uprights whereby the lat attachment does not stick out past the end of the bottom flat foot post? In other words, six posts, lat pulldown, 24” up front, but all on the depth of the bottom rail. I am limited in depth. Thanks!
Wondering if the "feet" of the Omni is compatible for use with the PR5000 or PR4000 to make them more stable in a home gym if you don't mind want to bolt them to the floor. And how the sturdiness would also compare to a (non bolted down) PR4000 with the Front Feet Extensions.
@garage gym reviews - so, in terns of using Rogue/Sorinex attachments on a Rep rack, sounds like it works because Rep rack is slightly smaller dimension wise than the racks that the Rogue/Sorinex attachments are meant for, correct? Any large enough compatibility or safety concerns that you'd recommend not buying the Rogue/Sorinex attachments? Safeties aside I mean. For example, the Sorinex J-squat or Rogue Jammer arms?
Which is the better half rack setup for the money? Rogue HR-2 or the Omni? Outfitted the same they are similar in price. I also notice that the uprights are bolted straight down to the base without any side stabilization. Is this an issue for stability/durability? Also are those bolts the same 1” bolts used everywhere else on the rack? They look smaller in photos.
"The most customizable rack on the market".... Also not more customizable than any other 3X3 1" rack and maybe even less so because to add on you have to use their feet pieces ate the bottom instead of normal crossmembers.
Here is the tagline: *If you want a modular Full Power Rack that doesn't need to be bolted to your concrete floor, this is the rack for you!* - or - *If you like the Flat Foot design of the Rogue RM-390F, this is the REP equivalent, only more modular!*
None of my plates are olympic plates. All have 1 1/8 inch holes. I was hoping that 1 inch weight storage pegs were available for REP racks. It would be very easy for REP to offer them, but their answer is no. That a deal breaker for me for all REP rack products.
Coop!!!! Help a girl out... I’m trying to design a way to build something similar to a Nautilus Glute Drive but using components that can be built into my power rack! Maybe something with jammer arms?? I need your equipment brain!!
Rogue has already increased prices. ): They’ve done it quietly. Only if someone’s been paying attention will they have noticed. For some crossmembers I had in my cart. It was 217 for the longest time. Now it’s 235. Bars have gone up by nearly $50. It sucks.
Hay coop, why doesn’t Rogue sell the power rack uprights on their own? So we can get creative and add on things. Understand they do sell the taller uprights for rigs tho.
Rogue has some rig shims that you put under the rack for leveling. But those are for the ones that you are bolting to the floor. Put the thicker version towards the slope/door and the thinner one away. I do recommend spray painting those metal parts to match your rack
I've started producing my own gym equipment in EU and we are using 80x80x3mm steel tubes, better than rogue ;) hehe Soon we are going to have our site up, and about 50-ish gym products.
Spent 5k on rogue orders, waited several weeks, cancelled order, went with rep and everything shipped in a few days and I'm up and running. Happy with my pr5000 and, barbells, and bench by Rep and Reverse hyper by Titan. Super solid. Up and running instead of waiting even longer. I'd love to go Rogue, but couldn't keep waiting.
I'm not even in the market for most of the equipment Coop reviews but I still like to watch them. Keep up the good work Coop. 👍

Two videos in two days. NICE! Micrometer/ digital caliper is the name of the tool by the way.
