6 Best Power Racks For Your Perfect Home Gym

More and more people are considering building a home gym, and a power rack is one of the most useful bits of equipment to start with.

Saving space is crucial when designing your dream personal gym area, so getting kit that can be used for multiple purposes makes life a lot simpler.

Power racks, unlike basic squat racks [https://builtforathletes.com/blogs/news/5-best-squat-racks-for-a-home-gym], have four pillars that surround the athlete. They almost always come with adjustable spotting arms and a bar for pull-ups.

Some will even have extra machines inside the cage, like lateral pull-down machines or leg extension machines, so they really hit almost all of your needs.

To help you find the right power rack for your home gym, here are six of the best available in the UK right now.

Men's Health Power Rig Squat Rack

The Men’s Health Power Rig is a budget option coming in at under £200, so it’s not quite as sturdy as some of the other power racks out there. That said, it still fits all the requirements you’ll want, and includes dip bars for added versatility.

Jordan Power Rack

If budget isn’t a problem, the Jordan Power Rack is definitely worth considering. At 2.4m tall, it’s a monster that has eight weight storage bars and 11 rack height options.
