When choosing a power rack in Montreal for squats, bench press and other exercises in your home or commercial gym it is important to pay attention to several factors.

What to Look for

First of all make sure your ceiling is high enough, for example if you intend to install the rack in your basement you may need to find a short rack, which lets you perform the same exercises, except the pull-up bar will be located lower, so that pull-ups won’t be comfortable especially for taller athletes, little sacrifice which lets you use the rack in your basement.

Next we need to eliminate racks that are not designed and built well, which can be typical for big box stores and big online retailers. In most cases you will find good quality products in fitness specialized stores, who understand fitness equipment design and quality. Once this step is done, pay attention to the components included with the power rack.

Our Choice

The best rack on the market in Canada as per our research is Commercial Power Rack 5G made by Toronto brand Gearforfit, let’s see why. The rack is built with 2.5×2.5” commercial grade frame, made of 12-gauge steel. While the design and built is awesome and solid, we can confirm this as we spent many hours exercising on this rack. The elements included out of the box are 4 high weight capacity J-hooks, many other models offer only two why second pair can be purchased additionally. High quality dip station, multi-grip pull-up bar. Eight band pegs and two plates storage pegs.

The rack features micro adjustments and lets you select one of 42 height positions, to make sure the height of the weight is selected perfectly.

Where to Get It

If you are in Montreal, the best way to get this commercial rack is through Gearforfit dealer My Sports Shop. They offer cheap local delivery, which is 30$ only, the same delivery rate applies if you are from Ottawa or Kingston.
