Sunny Health & Fitness Power Zone Strength Rack - SF-XF9925

It came in one big box, heavy, two people would make it easy to get inside, but I was able to do it myself with some struggling. Razor blade worked great to open the box. Comes with two open ended box metric wrenches and all the parts are labelled in steps, so easy to put together. A socket and driver makes it go so much faster, couldn't imagine trying to tighten it with the included wrenches. Started at 6pm ended at 830pm, wasn't really trying to do it fast, messed around a bit while doing it. Only time a second person would be helpful is when installing the pull up bar, not impossible without, just a little difficult for me. Left all the bolts loose then tightened them at the end per the directions. Looks nice, fits, no missing parts, but be careful and make sure you look at all the pieces in the box, I almost threw away a piece thinking I had unpacked everything. One of my parts came slightly bent, but when tightening up the piece it flattened out and didn't affect the finished rack. Doesn't rock, doesn't move, I have one 35 pound plate on each side doesn't rock forward or sideways, feels sturdy, especially for the price point. It holds the olympic bar, supports my pull ups, (I'm 215lbs) and again feels good. You won't confuse this with a $2000 rack at a gym but you won't spend the extra $1700, really happy with it, really happy with how easy it was to put together, great buy.

I purchased this power rack in April, 2022, for a sale price. It’s held up great so far and I couldn’t beat it for a budget-priced rack. Assembly was pretty easy and the parts, even and especially the bolts, were easily identifiable and packaged well with regard to their proper organization and placement in sequence. Some reviewers suggested this rack sways or isn’t super sturdy. It feels pretty solid when I do pull-ups and dips, though it’s certainly not with some slight movement. This isn’t a rack meant for serious powerlifting anyway. As a side note, I weigh 165 to 170 lbs, typically, and I don’t lift very heavy. The paint has held up well, both the black and the orange colors. No significant deterioration but things will scratch a bit over time and metal rubbing against metal. Plenty of holes for adjusting safety bars and j-hooks—more height options than some at my gym. I purchased the dip bars and an extra set of j-hooks from the the company. Definitely worth it for me. The photo I shared shows some straps hanging from the pull-up bar—I bought those from another company—and I use them for hanging knee raises for my abs. The bench was also from a different company. One thing I wish was different is where the pull-up bar has a declining angle/taper toward its ends. I’m kind of tall (about 6’2”) and have long-ish arms, so I’d like my hands to fit at a certain width but the bar isn’t horizontally straight all the way across (it’s declining) at that distance. It’s not a huge deal but I do a slightly narrower grip pull-up as a result. Plus-side, however, is it has additional intersecting bars to do neutral grip pull-ups, which is great. Another thing that could have been improved is a second set of weight holders on the sides. There are only 2, so it can’t hold a lot of weights on the 2 pegs due to their size and Sunny didn’t sell additional ones as an add on when I last looked. The package is very heavy and large, so be forewarned if it gets dropped off far away from your front door. Plan for help bringing it inside, if you can. Highly recommended for a recreational home gym. I hope this review was helpful. Happy and safe lifting, folks!

Color - I put my red barbell collar on one of the J-Cups. This shows the color variation between true red and the neonish, orange/red color of the rack. Not an issue for those buying this to work out, annoying for others that like to have matching equipment. Also, concerning aesthetics, although pictured in their ads, it does NOT come with numbers next to the rack holes; I just got 1” stickers off Amazon, works 4 me. J-Cups - These will hold the bar but lack UHMW plastic in the front to protect the knurling on your barbell or scratching your rack posts. I placed a protective floor sticker as a temporary fix for the potential bar damage & Gorilla Tape’d the rest. Amazon sells UHMW tape & plastic sheets too if you want to go that route. Pull-Up Bar - As you can see in one of my pic’s, I installed my Pull-Up Bar in the 2nd position down from the top (4 positions total) & it’s already under the 82.5” posts PLUS you can reverse the bar itself, upside down. Installation of this bar is VERY flexible for those of you w/ ceiling height concerns. Conversely, the knurl is pretty much nonexistent due to the heavy coat of glossy paint so don’t expect impressive grip. Also, the cross bars on my pull-up bar were only welded from the top & bottom, leaving a gap on both sides of each cross bar. Not a big issue as it’s still a heavy, sturdy pull-up bar. Assembly - Pretty basic but you do need to pay attention. The diagrams in the instructions are SMALL, following which hole certain screws go into can be difficult to decipher from the pictures. For example, if one or both of your safety spotter arms don’t fit you may have installed your posts into the wrong holes into the base so check that before you freak out. Also, not all washers used on a certain screw come grouped together in the packaging so don’t tighten all the way until you’re sure. Expandability - Manufacturer states that the holes on this rack are 3/4”, it may be a little bigger than that (see pic). This is a problem for anyone wanting to buy other attachments from other manufacturers as 1” holes are the industry standard. This is compounded by the fact that Sunny themselves do NOT offer any additional J-Cups, weight storage pegs (other than the ones that come with it), spotter straps, spotter extension bars, dips bars, etc. I know because I asked them directly. The only thing you can add is the Lat-Pull Down attachment for over $280. (Updated 1/22 - Sunny has come out w/ some other attachment options!) Summary - This rack is constructed out of 14 gauge steel (confirmed with Sunny) but because of how they engineered the assembly, feels sturdier than expected. It allows me to do the basics & fulfill my needs for a home gym. Perfect for lifting safely without a spotter for bench & squats (& their variations depending on your bench). I prefer the square, UHMW plastic covered, tilt-up spotter arms that attach like J-Cups over the round, sliding (& squeaky) spotter arms typical on other racks at this price. Weight storage & band pegs are also extra on other racks but included in this one. Overall, lack of expandability stinks, but the best value rack & great 1st home gym rack available in my opinion.

I'm recovering from a pretty gnarly nerve problem that left me in a position to not lift since October of 22. Part of the concern specifically is that as I regain strength in my pecs, I can't trust myself. I can still only do 8 reps of the weight you see in the picture when I bench, and I'm not exactly new to lifting weights. So this cage was purchased specifically for bench press safety as I get back up in weight and recovery from injury. For that, I have no complaints. As far as a squat rack, I didn't like squatting in the cage. I'm 6'5 which is "the limit" stated, I didn't feel super comfortable, so I took squatting outside of the cage and there's no issue. I've only loaded 315 on the JHOOKS and frame on the squat bar, it seems to handle it well enough. I do plan on adding a second set of longer hooks directly beneath, but that's just a safety thing. There is a little wiggle room in the cage, it doesn't bother me. I expect that of almost any inexpensive cage. I can bolt it to my floor, I choose not to at this time. One area that really impressed me was how well the instructions were designed and how simple they made the hardware to identify. I love it when a company goes an extra mile in that step, and they did. I'm happy with it, they have some nice accessories. If I have one complaint, it's that the holes are 3/4" inch, so 1-inch accessories don't work, but they've had every accessory I could have wanted.

I have had this rack for 3 years and it’s an excellent rack, great build, very sturdy. I don’t have the attachment, so I’m not sure of that function. But if you’re looking for a rack, this is excellent quality for a good price, definitely recommend!

Long story short, it was this or the Tonal. I did my YouTube video research, found this item similar to recommended items. Great price for a beginner like myself. Easy to install and super sturdy! I have that textured foam flooring in the basement and it does not budge, even when I jump on pull-up bar (inverted option, love that) and swing to get my chin up. I highly recommend for those that are as skeptical as I am about trying new things. I’m 230lbs and I feel confident in its ability to hold my weight even though it was super easy to assemble. Note* Package comes with 2 wrenches dual sided 18mm/16mm. I just used my socket wrench and hardly broke a sweat, until I had to tighten bolts. I assembled myself, but I recommend a second person for safety. I’m thinking of getting the pulley system that attaches. Just waiting on my bench and bar. Love me some Amazon prime.

I’ve had it 3.5 years now and it’s still as sturdy as ever. I recently added the pulldown/row cable addition to it and it’s fantastic. Man, I wish I had bought the cable part sooner… It helped me to add like 8 more exercises. I can now do Pulldowns, pullovers, rope pulls to the forehead which works the rear delts, I also now can down tricep press downs, seated rows, cable lateral raises, upright rows, bicep curls… the list goes on and on man. Buy It!

This is a great squat rack. I worked in several gyms when I was younger and was surprised how similar this rack was to commercial quality. For a home gym, this is an important addition to keep your lifters safe if they’re squatting without a spotter. It is secured with large bolts/nuts and goes together easily (use a drill with the attachment to save time). The squat height bar side mounts for quick adjustments. It’s a darn good rack for the price

Ormai la uso da mesi.. oscilla sempre soprattutto con esercizi di trazione laterale e pesi importanti.. però al momento non mostra alcun segno di cedimento.. ci ho messo un po' a montarla bella stretta da solo, in due sicuramente si farebbe tutto meglio. Io la consiglio

Terrific. Sturdy. Brings all hardware. Exactly what I needed. Is Olympic sized, so make sure you have 2inch bar/weights.

I love this squat rack. I was a bit nervous about assembling it alone but when it arrived I realised that it wasn’t as bulky or heavy as I thought it would be. I also had to unpack it outside and carry the pieces into the house due to the length of the box and the way my hallway is designed. I managed this easily alone. I’m a 5ft5 female and I put the whole thing together and erected on my own quite easily. It’s very sturdy and I currently weigh 77kg and there is no rocking or anything when I’m doing pull ups. I can’t vouch for the j hooks as yet as I’m still trying to decide what type of plates I want to buy so haven’t tested them out. I also use it to practice Muay Thai kicks as I’ve attached pads to it and the rack doesn’t move even without holding any plates to weigh it down. Very pleased and great value for money.

Great product. although holes are 2cm and that's quite limiting. but aside from that detail, everything else is sturdy, stable, polished finishings as one touches and very professional and premium look despite being low-priced in comparison to others. Globally its a great rack which aside from the stability, it disposes of both a brilliant multi-grip pull/chin-up bar with anti-slippery finish + great adjustable spotter bars which btw are rubber-protected which is great to both protect our barbells but also do not wake-up wifey and kids (& neighbours) with early IRON trainings. For the holes, we still can find compatible material thought, from lever-arms to squat-lever-arm although you really need to pay attention that holes are 2,1cm's/0,78 inches ! Great product for anyone wanting to explore the basics with a qualitative power rack: Thumbs Up
