This is a fantastic rack and has been a lovely addition to my home gym. It looks killer and has a small footprint. What more could I ask for?

Bought this to save some space, very solid allowing for great squat and bench setup. Highly recommend

I’ve had this rack for 3 years. I bought the SML-2 and immediately upgraded it to the HR-2. This rack is a tank and handles everything I need it to. I’ve got 8 sets of 45’s in deep dishes on the back 25’s 10’s and 5’s. The Westside spacing for the safety’s is so nice! I can set the arms to exactly where I need them so I’m not worried to take max squats to rock bottom depth or to go for heavy sets on bench. I’ve missed maxes on squats and bench without issue or injury because I can dial the safety’s in. I added an extra cross member and the crown pull up bar and moved the original pull up bar to stabilize the rear uprights. This is the little rack that could and I’m excited to grow with it into a 405 bench and 505 squat. I’ve got the weight and the rack to handle it, all that’s left is for me to show up and put the work in.

Love this rack. Took 15 minutes to set up. Perfect in my garage.

The rack arrived in good shape with all the parts. Easy to install. I would recommend bolting it to the ground—get the ground attachment kit. Especially if you are going to put weight on the back vertical arms. The rack will not tip forward, but will tip backward. Overall, the rack feels rather solid.

I recently upgraded my setup with the Rogue HR-2 Half Rack Conversion Kit (90”), and it turned out to be the best decision for my home gym. From the start, the structural precision and finish were exactly what you’d expect from Rogue — massive stability, clean welds, and flawless powder coating. The kit transformed my space-saving setup into a full-strength training station with commercial-level rigidity. A few small parts were missing (some bolts and a steel plate), but Rogue’s customer service absolutely delivered — fast, friendly, and free replacement within days. That kind of responsiveness is rare these days and truly builds trust. I even went a step further and mounted an ATX foldable Captain’s Chair onto the HR-2 frame, reinforced with a 12 mm steel plate and M12 bolts. The result: ✅ Zero flex under load ✅ Seamless integration with the RML uprights ✅ Professional functionality in a living-room-friendly footprint The only challenge I encountered as a Swiss-based user was sourcing compatible spare parts — 5/8” bolts in 4.5” length can be difficult to find in Central Europe. Still, that’s a minor detail compared to the overall quality and performance of the kit. This conversion kit gave my setup new life — more stability, more versatility, and the perfect base for creative configurations. 5/5 stars — Rogue quality, Rogue service, Rogue reliability. Highly recommended for anyone serious about hybrid or compact gym builds.
