Rep Fitness HR-5000 Half Rack Review: High-End, Feature-Filled Squat Rack

Rep Fitness HR-5000 Half Rack Review: High-End, Feature-Filled Squat Rack

The Rep Fitness HR-5000 Half Rackis the best squat rack Rep Fitness has released and is a foretaste of things to come. Featuring a number of features seen on high-end racks, the Rep HR-5000 is a legitimate contender to the Rogue Monster and Sorinex XL Racks at a lower price thanks to it being imported among other things. If you want a deluxe rack at a slightly lower price, this is a great option. Read the full review.

Pros & Cons

What we like ...
  • The Rep HR-5000 is the best rack that Rep Fitness has released to date and competes with the top racks from companies like Rogue and Sorinex.
  • The inherent nature of the open design that exists with a half rack makes it easy to use as well as versatile.
  • The uprights of the HR-5000 are 3"x3", 11-gauge steel that can take any weight you plan to lift without issues.
  • The bolts used are oversized 1-inch bolts that are definitely overkill, but look awesome.
  • The holes are laser-cut instead of punched which leads to a stronger overall rack.
  • There are laser-cut hole numbers every 5 holes on the uprights. We love this idea as it cuts costs, but gets the effect desired.
  • There are four different colors available including black, red, blue, and silver. All pop and look great in any garage gym.
  • The rack comes standard with a multi-grip pull-up bar, sandwich j-cups, and spotter arms.
  • Band pegs and weight pegs come standard with the rack and are chrome plated to prevent chipping and ease of use.
  • The outside width of the rack is 47" which makes re-racking the bar easier than the 49" width on the Rogue Monster and Monster Lite Racks.
What needs improvement ...
  • Despite being imported, the HR-5000 is still quite expensive and only cheaper than the competitor Rogue Monster Collegiate Half Rack when all of the accessories are considered.
  • Rep Fitness is still dialing in shipping as evidenced by one user who said, "Rack arrived and about 85% of the pieces arrived with some form of damage. I'm sure it was mostly due to the shipping company however. Called at first was only offered a refund of half my shipping amount. But after talking more to Rep about how I wasn't satisfied with what I received, we decided to replace some of the parts and receive a gift card for my troubles."
  • The arch logo on the rack features a weird bolted design that looks cheap compared to the rest of the rack.

  • Laser cut numbers on every other hole for ease of lining up attachments.
  • Multi-grip pull-up bar with neutral, angled, 2″ fat bar, and 1.25″ standard all included

  • Dual-Lock Spotter Arms. Each spotter arm has a layer of UHMW for protecting your bar’s knurl as well as inner liners for protecting the upright paint. Laser cut numbered holes for future attachment compatibility.
  • Band pegs on both the top and bottom for creative uses of bands.
  • Weight horns in both 6″ and 12″ lengths for plate storage

  • Multiple color options in premium black metallic, silver metallic, red hammertone, and blue hammertone powder coat.

Additional feature: 47″ outside-to-outside width which allows plenty of room for re-racking the bar without hitting plates on the uprights, which is a common problem on competitors’ 3×3 racks.

For Dual Sided option: purchase the HR-5000 rack plus the Add-on. The Add-on bolts onto the weight storage to double the rack/pull-up portion but not the storage.

    Summary

    The HR-5000 Half Rack from Rep Fitness is one of the best half racks on the market. Thanks to its flat feet, it can rest just about anywhere, yet still offer the stability and versatility of a full on power rack. The price is substantial, but the rack is well done with a lot of features. We recommend the HR-5000 for anyone that wants a high-end rack at a good price. If you plan to use the rack in a commercial setting, check out the double-sided add-on.
