Super Sturdy and good value

I shopped around a lot online for a half rack, and decided to buy from Northern. For what it is, the value for money is amazing. I used to have one from another company, and this is far superior. The bolts are massive and tighten well when using a wrench. Appreciate the floor anchoring points for that extra stability, not that you need it with such a heavy duty piece of gear. Took only 20m to put it up with a friend.

All products received, awesome quality, really please. Bumper plates all same diameter regardless of weight which is a nice touch. Floor mats are brilliant, worth it. Will be ordering more in the future.

Absolutely buzzing with this half rack!

The northern half rack is solid as anything, proper sturdy and feels like it’ll last forever. Assembly was straightforward (which makes a nice change), and once it’s up it looks mint. Feels just like the ones you get in a proper gym, no wobble, no nonsense. I’ve been smashing out squats and bench without a hitch. For the price you can’t go wrong, top quality and can’t fault it. If you’re kitting out your home gym, this is a no-brainer. Cheers northern gym equipment! 💪🇬🇧

Fantastic Product!

I’m really happy with this purchase for my home gym. The setup was quick and simple, and once assembled it feels very sturdy and reliable. My son, who’s training to become a powerlifter, uses it daily and absolutely loves it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality equipment at home

What is a half rack?

A half rack is a compact strength training rack or open-design strength station with two upright posts and a stabilising base, giving you a sturdy setup for heavy barbell work. Basic barbell exercises such as squats, bench press, and overhead press.

What exercises can I perform with a half rack?

You can do major compound lifts with a half rack, including squats & lunges, bench & overhead presses, pull-ups and barbell rows or rack pulls.

Is it safe to lift alone with a half-rack?

To be safe, add adjustable safety spotter arms to the half rack to ensure that when you fail during your squat or bench press, it will catch the bar. With a half rack you can build your dreams without needing a training partner for every set.

What is the difference between a half rack and a power rack?

A half rack is designed to be more space-efficient and compact, making it ideal for home gyms or studios with limited floor space but still allows you to perform major lifts. A power rack (full cage) offers more safety features and enclosure but takes up more flooring space.

Can I add attachments to a half rack?

Many half racks support add-ons such as adjustable safety spotter arms, pull-up bars, dip attachments and cable systems that allows you to perform more workouts.

Do I need a bench with a half rack?

Adding a bench allows you to perform more exercises like the bench press and seated movements with your half rack.

How much weight can a half rack handle?

Half racks built from heavy-duty steel can typically support 750 to 1,000+ lbs (340–450+ kg) when properly anchored. Northern half rack has a maximum load of 450kg capacity.
