I think Rep has surpassed Rogue as the go to option for home gym equipment, if for no other reason than for the sheer amount of options and versatility they've brought to the table. I bought my setup almost 5 years ago, but if I were doing it all over again, I would probably go with Rep for my big pieces, based on what I've seen come out from them the last year or two. Good job guys, keep up the good work!
We knew this would be a popular setup, so we actually make it a 'one-click buy'! Here's the link: repfitness.com/products/functional-trainer-with-weight-storage
Why is shelf depth always so stingy on these gym storage products? Rep's flat shelf is only 11.1" deep. I'm looking to replace the wooden shelves in my garage, which are 21 inches deep.
Honestly, I want a cable machine so I don't have to own plates and dumbbells. I want the cable machine to be versatile enough to do it all; squats, deadlifts, and dips with a weight belt connected to the weight stack, hamstring curls using a bench and the cables connected to the ankles, etc. A wall-mounted setup for sturdiness would be ideal, too.
I have a six post rack with latlowrow and dual sided Athena with selectorized weight stack and was planning on adding storage wings, but will not have the space (width or depth) to add 16" extensions or elbows as suggested in this video. The Athena selectorized plates only stick out about 3/4" on the sides. Unfortunately, it seems the shelves were not designed with this use case in mind. I think this could easily work with a 1" spacer between the back post and the shelf, and a longer bolt. I hope you all eventually offer the hardware to make this config work. I am going to go ahead and order the shelves and rig up something in the mean time.
At a quick glance of mine, the hole spacing is 2" on a 1100 rack (like the 5000 series), but I'm guessing there is probably some other limitation that would prevent the off-rack storage from being compatible, correct? Really cool regardless.
You would be correct in that guess. The PR-1100 has 2 inch spacing with 1" holes on center, like the PR-5000. However the dimensions on the upright are not the same. On the 1100 the uprights are 2 inches in depth and 2 inches in width the 5000 uprights are 3 inches in depth and width. Things might have changed and when I had a 1100 but I think there's only holes on the front and back of the uprights as well the 5000 has uprights on all four sides of the upright
Good to know. Thanks for the answer! Now the question comes on when the budget allows... Upgrade to a 5000 and storage, or keep the 1100 with a corner...
You should see a lot more options. If you need help, just reach out to our customer support team via chat/email/phone/text - all options on the bottom of our site.
I’m a current 6 post dual Athena owner and would love to swap over to using the L shaped cross members and adding 2 new uprights to move my weight stacks into. Would I need to email customer support to get a quote for what I think effectively is just a new set of cables to pull this setup off?
Not the look i was hoping for. Single post do save customers money. But the double posts just looks more beefy and manly. Can't please everybody tho. Hopefully i can just buy 4 red uprights and find a way to tweak it
Where do you see double posts? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment but only the Athena needs extra brackets. Everything else fits between 1 upright.
@REPfitness Not about engineered. It's about how it looks in our gym also. X2 is what we desire. I'm still gonna buy it tho. Pound for pound ya'll got the best out there. Since you can extend it and add colors.
