MAJOR FITNESS F22 Power Rack for Home Strength Training

Stop looking and buy it!
Researched and compared for months before buying the black rack only (got some used weights for much cheaper than anything I could find online). Been using it 3-4 times a week for over 6 months now and absolutely love it! I never lift more than around 215lbs, but it easily handles anything I ask of it. I really love the independent cable feature to quickly change exercises and simply how many more exercise options these pulleys provide. The plastic pulleys are smooth too (no complaints), but from what I’ve read, I’ll probably upgrade to the aluminum pulleys eventually. I also use and recommend a silicon based lubricant about once a month that helps keep everything pulling smooth. I’m 6′ and smaller profile works perfect for me and the space I have to work with. I’d imagine it would work for someone a few inches taller too. Not 100% sure how long it took me to assemble (guessing a little over 4 hours to unbox, layout pieces, and assemble), but definitely remember it wasn’t hard to put together by myself minus 1 step where I had my wife slide a couple bolts in to help assemble the pull up cross piece. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate to buy with confidence!! You won’t regret it!

Great product
I have had this product for a few months now and I am very impressed. The build quality is great where it needs to be. I am confident this rack can support the weight of the bar and weights.The cable system is good as well. One thing to note is when putting the cable system together, it might help if you keep the two silver vertical bars a loose. This will prevent the cable system from sticking or causing friction when using them.As a starter rack for a home gym I recommend this rack.

Good overall for a cheaper starter rack, guide rods had some friction
Good overall for a cheaper starter rack, but the functional trainer carriage had too much friction on the guide rods and wouldn’t glide – had to remove 1 of the 4 caps on each carriage to get them to glide without resistance. Would have been 5 stars if not for this issue. Seems like an easy fix to this would be for Major Fitness to redesign the carriage caps to have a 1mm wider inner diameter to give the rods more space to be slightly bent or out of alignment without creating friction. Once I removed one of the caps, the pulley glides smoothly. I may have preferred a 1:1 instead of a 2:1, so do your research on which one is better for your needs – for heavier weight exercises like a low row, it’s a bit of a pain to stack enough weight (my normal 1:1 100 lbs I now need to stack 200 lbs). One of the plastic foot pieces that actually contacts the floor was broken on arrival, support sent me a new one. Poor design on putting the weight horns in the rear (I knew this ahead of buying it, I get they’re limited on what they could do given the space needed for the functional trainer, but they could have done something better), I ended up not installing them because I don’t want to have the rack sit an extra foot from the wall in my small gym space, and worry about damaging the wall with the weights – ended up buying a separate plate tree instead. Attachments are basic and don’t spin, but sufficient for a starter set. Kind of awkward to figure out how to position a bench to do lat pull downs, removing the band pegs helps. The bench itself seems pretty solid, no complaints so far. Wider hole spacing makes it a little difficult to find the exact right height for some exercises, not sure I’d be able to use the safety arms to push my bench limits alone, and would be nice if J-hooks were an inch or 2 taller to catch & protect the rack. Pull up bar grips feel good. Landmine attachment is a nice touch. Can get much cheaper starter bar & plate set from Dick’s if you don’t need bumper plates (Fitness Gear 300lbs)

Love it!
Arrived packaged well, assembly was easy enough, having 2 people does help, but not necessary. Instructions were ok, watched video too. Great power rack!!
