Best Squat Racks According to r/homegym (December 2025)

tldr; Reddit has mixed feelings about the REP Fitness Ares 2.0, with users loving its performance but some experiencing issues with missing parts upon delivery.

tldr; Best bang for buck Rogue. 3x3 uprights with 5/8 holes, same quality as full racks. Saves space, not capability.

tldr; Reddit has mixed feelings about the Force USA MyRack, with one user finding it unstable while another notes it doesn't require bolting down.

tldr; Reddit comments discuss folding racks generally, highlighting their space-saving benefits and versatility, but there are no specific mentions of the "Fray Fitness Folding Power Rack."

tldr; Reddit generally expresses skepticism about smith machines, with specific criticism for the Hoist CF-3753 lacking assembly directions and appearing "sketchy."

tldr; Classic 2x3 Rogue rack with legendary durability. Stable unbolted, fits everywhere, but limited by hole spacing and older design vs newer options.

tldr; Reddit highly recommends the Major Fitness Raptor F22 All-In-One Power Rack for its solid quality, compact design, and reliable performance over extended use.

tldr; Budget all-in-one with smith machine and dual cables. Solid value but 2x3 uprights limit accessories and quality varies.

tldr; Mid-tier Mirafit rack. Higher weight capacity than budget Major Fitness. Good UK option.

tldr; Rogue's compact half rack with excellent stability. Easily converts from SML squat stands. Perfect for space-limited gyms, no bolt-down needed with weights.

tldr; Best budget 2x3 rack at $280-400. Perfect for beginners or low ceilings. Solid build quality but limited accessories vs 3x3 racks.

tldr; Best budget 3x3 rack at $576-650. 11-gauge steel, accepts all major attachments. Titan QC issues but functionality matches Rogue/Rep at half the price.

tldr; UK budget rack with solid reviews. Good value for European buyers where Rogue/REP shipping is expensive.

tldr; Reddit highly recommends the Titan Fitness T-3 Series Power Rack, with users loving its functionality, small footprint, and extensive accessory availability, often seeing no reason to upgrade.

tldr; Budget REP rack for beginners. Smaller footprint, basic features. Better than Amazon racks, but PR-4000/5000 recommended for long-term.

tldr; Amazon budget rack - $250-300 range. Decent for beginners under 400lbs. Will want to upgrade eventually.

tldr; Amazon's best budget cage. 800lb capacity, lasts for years. Perfect starter rack before upgrading to Rogue.

tldr; Reddit generally views the Titan Fitness TITAN Series Power Rack as a good value option with improved quality, though some compare it unfavorably to higher-end brands.

tldr; Canadian import everyone loves. Great accessories included, $199 shipping cap to Canada. Competes with Rogue at lower price.

tldr; Reddit users consider the Synergee Power Rack a "surprising workhorse" but suggest upgrading the spotting arms for better peace of mind and reduced noise.

tldr; The space-saver that doesn't sacrifice. Add weight storage for stability. Foundation for a full Rogue setup later.

tldr; Reddit highly regards the Rogue Monster RM-6 Rack for its robust quality and ample space, with users regretting not opting for it initially despite its cost.

tldr; Reddit users praise the B52 Pro for its solid build and stability, with many included attachments, but note concerns about 2x3 uprights and the 2:1 pulley system.
