Bench and Rack Packages

Why choose Bench & Rack Packages?

Bench and rack packages are one of the simplest ways to build a solid barbell training setup. By pairing a compatible bench with a squat rack or power rack, you get a stable base for squats, bench press, pulls and accessories, while removing the guesswork of matching components.

Best suited for:

• Home gyms that want the most training variety in a small footprint

• PT studios and schools that need durable, repeatable setups

• Lifters focused on progressive overload with a reliable rack and bench combination

• Commercial facilities looking for proven combinations at a package price

Packages are also a smart option if you want a clear starting point, with the flexibility to adjust the exact combination to suit your needs.

Choosing the right rack and bench combination

Pick your rack style

• Squat rack and bench setups are often the most space friendly, with an open layout that suits smaller rooms.

• A squat and bench rack package can be a great starting point if you want core barbell training without a full cage.

• If you train heavy without a spotter, a power rack can add extra safety options and offer more attachment options (model dependent).

Choose your bench type

• A flat bench is simple, stable and ideal for classic pressing.

• An adjustable bench expands your training options for incline, seated work and accessories.

Safety tip for solo lifting

If you are bench pressing or squatting without a spotter, use safeties where available, and set them so they will catch the bar just below your deepest safe range of motion for that lift.

Equipment to pair with your bench and rack package

To complete a bench press and squat rack setup, most lifters add:

• Barbells

• Weight Plates

• Collars

FAQs about Bench & Rack Packages

Can I change what’s included in a package?
Yes. Our packages are suggestions and flexible. If you want to swap a bench, choose a different rack type, or adjust inclusions to suit your space, we can help.

Which package is best for a small space?
A compact squat rack and bench setup is often the easiest fit for smaller rooms. Check the footprint and height on each product page, and allow space around the rack for loading plates and moving a bench.

Do I need a power rack, or will a squat rack be enough?
Many lifters do very well with a squat rack and bench. If you regularly lift heavy without a spotter and want more built-in safety options or future attachment options, a power rack can be a better match.

Does a package include everything I need to train?
Packages include the rack and bench listed. To train, you will usually also need a barbell, plates and collars, and flooring suitable for your space.
