I just got this as a birthday present and I gota say - it is really awesome! Relatively easy to construct and has totally changed the way I am working out already. Thank You Attivo!!
Question - does it need some silicone on the runner for ease of movement?
Hi there, thank you for leaving a review for the ATTIVO Squat Rack with Lat Pull Down System - SR1551. We are thrilled to hear that it has made a positive impact on your workouts. As for your question, we recommend using a silicone lubricant on the runner for smoother movement. Happy lifting!
Kind regards,

So worth it! We're all wary of portable poles. We've seen the fail videos. Ensure your pole is under a beam and is straight. I absolutely love mine. And the mat is so good as I have concrete flooring in our garage. It hasn't budged at all in the time we've had it up & have had multiple friends of various sizes give it a try. Perfect home pole for an affordable price & grateful for the afterpay option
My first investment in "proper" home gym equipment and couldn't be happier.
Ordering and delivery were easy, most packages delivered in a main delivery, then a final set of weight plates came a couple of days later.
Assembly pretty straightforward, I'd recommend rubber floor tiles underneath, and when all set up it's sturdy and doesn't have any wobbles. Nylock nuts used all around so not expecting anything to loosen up too much.
Lat pull down cable system is really good. Note that the peg for weights takes 1" or 25mm diameter hole weights vs. the 50mm ones that ship for the barbell.
Barbell is longer than I anticipated so you do need decent space around the rack so bar and weights don't catch on anything.
Add a bench to this like I did and with a bit of silicon spray lube for the cables and pulldown mechanism I reckon this will do me for many years.
I've even successfully managed a couple of pull ups already.
As I haven’t heard this brand before I was hesitant to order at first but the delivery was on the dot with no dramas at all. The bar is perfect for my crossfit trainings and resistance trainings. I recommend it 100%.
