XMarkAdjustable Multi-Function Power Package - Squat Rack, Olympic Bar Storage, FID Weight Bench, 365 lb Weight Set

I've been using this XMark squat rack regularly since I bought it in 2019. It's versatile enough for all of your squatting and bench needs along with a certain amount of attachments. In what now seems like some kind of miracle, I bought it for $499 flat (no shipping or tax!) but at $775 now and tax presumably included, it's double the price of base model power racks from Rep Fitness and similar manufacturers or close to the price of premium racks.I appreciate the smaller footprint than those bigger racks, but it comes at the cost of less versatility with attachments. If I were buying a rack again I'd probably go with something like the Rogue SML-2 with the pull up bar and add on spotter arms for bench pressing. For the XMark I added another pair of J-Cups so I didn't have to move the one pair back and forth for bench and squat, it's also useful to store an extra bar when not in use.

I've had this XMark Rack now for a few months and must say I'm extremely pleased with it!When it shipped, the box was tore up pretty bad, but everything inside was fine. This thing is freaking heavy too! Took me by surprise when I started bringing the boxes inside. Assembled pretty easy and came with all the necessary tools.Now the main reason I bought this was so that I could place it anywhere in my basement. I've had an old squat cage for years and due to low air-ducts in the ceiling, there wasn't many places I could put it. But this XMark fits perfectly anywhere, due to its shorter height. It's very sturdy. Been using it for squats, bench, incline and decline. For incline, my bench won't move back far enough to be able to use the correct j-hooks, so I've been using the longer safety holders for incline instead and they work quite well. Note that the safety holders lock well in place and you have to angle them up quite a ways to remove them, but still be careful if you use them in this way.This rack is extremely easy to adjust, and I really like the rubber pads on the j-hooks and safety holders. I didn't think anything about them at first, but I've really come to appreciate them. Instead of hitting the metal bar on metal (like my other squat cage), it's nice to hit the rubber pad and not scratch stuff up. When doing wide grip bench, I don't pinch myself as bad due to the rubber pads. My old squat cage also has small metal j-hooks so you always have to be careful when setting the bar in them - the XMark on the other hand has much more space for the bar to rest on which is much nicer! The hole spacings are very nicely placed too. I've found that I can set the safety holders appropriately for all the different workouts I do, including decline press (this wasn't possible with my old squat cage).This is a really well made product and I've enjoyed using it so far.

Quality of this product is an easy 5 stars. Gym quality and sturdy, heavy gauge and doesn’t move under heavy weights. Simply amazing.However, they used very thin bubble wrap to protect individual heavy metal pieces for shipping. So I give the shipping department zero stars. My brand new $500 squat/bench rack has several scratches and gouges. They should have used heavy foam wrap, not the same bubble wrap used for ultra-light items. Can I get some touch-up paint please????

It looks great and is very sturdy. If you're very tall (above 6' 3" maybe?) I could see the highest setting being too low, but for me it's perfect. Even then it could probably be put on risers to fix that issue. Great option if you don't have the vertical clearance for a full rack.The included hooks and safeties are very easy to move and don't require a pin, which is nice if you're adjusting them a lot.

Did a lot of research as always and decided to go with XMark. Great products. Super easy to assemble. Directions say and hour but it took only 30 minutes which is nothing. Solid as a rock. Glad I purchased.
