3x3 Half Rack w/ Multi Grip Pullup Bar and Plate Storage

Purchased this rack over a year ago for my teenage son to have the option to use when not in sports. Little did I know, it sparked my son, wife and myself to use and abuse this thing over the past year. It is in a shop that is NOT climate controlled. The Florida humidity is definitely in full effect here and this rack and bench has held up amazingly.

I purchased these for my gym to replace 2 squat racks. Best move I could’ve made. Space saving, solid equipment, 3” square tubing and very sturdy. A lot of complements from the members. I had a problem with some misplaced boxes and Valor immediately stepped up to resolve the issue. They didn’t hesitate on sending what I needed. In the end it wasn’t necessary but just the fact that they were willing to make things right immediately says a lot about their customer service. I recommend them and their equipment to anyone.

Quality product from a quality company.

Excellent rack! The small footprint makes it ideal for tight spaces. Add the plates, a bench, and Olympic bar, and a curl bar, and you’re all set. Never be at the mercy of a closed gym again!

After owning this rack for a couple of months, I couldn't be happier with the purchase. For the amount of features included and overall functionality, I don't think there is a better option on the market at this price point.

I really like knurling on the multi-grip pull-up bar -- it certainly provides an adequate grip without tearing up your hands too much. I also love the fact that the height is adjustable for the pull-up bar; I live in a place with average ceiling (sorry I don't have an exact measurement for ya) heights and being able to bring it down a little so my head can fit between the bar and the ceiling is perfect.

As other reviewers have mentioned, I do think there are some features that could be improved: The j-cups don't have plastic all the way around, and in fact my barbell tends to drop into a gap near the front. I also think the edges of the metal on the included barbell storage are a bit too sharp (without much force they've put several nicks into the finish on my bar). The edges on the safety spotters are also unnecessarily sharp (not a problem for me, but I did notice it here too). If possible, you should try to improve these things on the production end!

Overall though, this is an incredible rack. Very sturdy and fun to use! And even though I mentioned a few things that could be improved, I still give this a 5 star review because of the incredible value.

And yes, the customer service was incredible for me too. THANK you, Valor Fitness!!

Like many of us strength training aficionados who were scrambling to find some Garage Gym equipment this past fall, I stumbled upon Valor Fitness and they literally had only 2 of the BD58 Racks in stock. After reading all the reviews, looking at the specs, and the high-quality build, I jumped on it and made the buy (My wife didn't know) Needless to say, it's been 2 months and many workouts on this rack. I couldn't be happier. One of the best features is the adjustable height of the pull-up bar, which also has a knurled grip and multiple hand positions. That flexibility makes it a perfect fit for most garages with lower heights on the ceiling. The heavy-gauge steel, the weight capacity for more advanced/heavy lifters, and the option to screw down the base make this a versatile and ultimately a prime choice for home gyms. I highly recommend the BD-58 Halfrack and even more specifically Valor Fitness. They ACTUALLY ANSWER their phone and don't put you through a call tree if you have any questions, need a stock update, or have a problem with your order. I've become a fan.

This rack is sturdy. The resistance band pegs are a really nice extra touch. The multi-positioned pull up bar is a great addition and it actually goes high enough that I can’t do a fully extended pull up without being on the ground

I’ve had my Valor half rack for 3 weeks now and couldn’t be happier (bought with needle bar, bench, band sets and BBPs to kit out home gym). It took about 3hrs to put together by myself, instructions were straight forward, the rack is at least equal quality to the ones at commercial gyms. I like the pin system for bands and having bar storage hooks. The pull up bar with multiple hand positions is great and the rack is very stable.
Only additions/changes are; I’d love the safety pin holes to go a little lower down, too high for some band attachment exercises and floor pressing. Also the bar storages holders are mental with no covers so scratch up the bar - some plastic covering like on the J cups would be a nice addition. Finally 3 plate storages on each side is good, but 4 would be great!

This rack is the perfect choice for to get a good work out in at home with commercial gym grade equipment. the pullup bar doesn't wobble around like other options out there. The safety arms are solid so you can lift heavy with confidence. My boxes were in pretty good shape considering the weight of the contents, inside the box everything was in great shape no scratches or bent pieces to speak of. The build was pretty easy as well, a simple socket set will do the trick, be careful though, there are no torque recommendations in the instructions and if you go with what the bolts can materially handle you will bend metal on the frame.

Overall extremely happy with the rack, would totally recommend to a friend.

This half rack is sturdy, easy to assemble, and a really good choice.

On top of the rack itself, I *cannot reccomend Valor's customer support enough.* There aren't enough positive words.

In the middle of an actual global pandemic and a historic rush on exercise equipment combined with a collapse of supply chains everywhere, two Valor employees not only answered the phone and their email but took time and spent money to help a small consumer customer on the opppsite side of the country get the rack built right. I wasn't buying in bulk, I wasn't kitting out a big gym, I was just some guy building a place to lift in his garage. Didn't matter at all. I have rarely felt as supported by a company before - thank you Evan and thank you Jacob and thank you Valor.

If you read this far: UPS managed to mangle one of the boxes the rack shipped in to the point one of the main risers was bent. Impressive really, those things are big and strong. Valor took a quick look at a photo and shipped a replacement part which arrived in mere days.

As I put the rack together, it turned out one of the rear risers was also wrong... another email and !bang! replacement part on my doorstep.

This rack is good. The company is better. The people that work there are the best.
