Celsius RK1 Half Rack

Just bought this and few missing components, Rebel only willing to provide 10% refund which is 'nothing' compared the value and hassles to get the other components. Customer Care Centre not friendly and not provide 'practical solution'

I brought this Rack recently and am impressed with the quality considering the price. It was quite strait forward to setup but was very time consuming (As should be expected). It would have been nice if a spanner was included, despite having one at home I still needed a another to secure both sides. Fortunately I didn’t have any structural defects on the squat rack and everything fit perfectly. One thing I was worried about was not having enough space for my arms when bench pressing but after testing it space wasn’t a problem. Overall the stability of this product is about a 8/10, it has a slight wobble when using the chin up bar but nothing similar models wouldn’t have. I brought the Celsius flat bench to accompany this rack and so far so good. Good rack, would recommend.

Good equipment for the price. Relatively quick and easy to assemble and will handle more weight than most people will ever need. It's a bit smaller than the average half rack in all dimensions, which saves space but also brings about a couple of negatives; - The distance between the main upright and the front upright is smaller than most would be used to, which will feel unnatural for squatting, especially when walking the weight out. But it is workable and I've already adapted to it - The distance between the left and right uprights is small, such that it will inhibit you taking a very wide bench press grip. I can still take my normal grip but my hands are touching the pegs. Then at the bottom of the eccentric on bench your elbows can touch the left and right permanent safety crossbars if you tend to flare your elbows, or will touch one of the sides if you hadn't set up perfectly centred on the bench. - the height is such that an average/tall male will be at about half elbow flexion while holding the pull up bar, so pull ups will need to be done with bent legs All in all it's fine. Some design deficiencies will require you to adapt your techniques to be somewhat non standard, but it is entirely workable. For picking it up; unpacked from the box it fit in my Rav 4 with seats laid down. The tallest uprights being the limiting factor, we just laid them down from the boot up to the centre console in the front.

Built strongly and rigid. The only problem is can’t place the washer plate flat on the surface because the welding is too thick. I have to grind the welding. I’m confident to use it.

Packing was good. Very easy fix. Rack is very stable and strong. Tried pull ups as well. Best buy for home gym. Helps you with deadlifts, should press, squats and pull-ups. I'd recommend this over those expensive power racks for home gym.

Celsius half rack is great for out gym space. It gives us all the functions need to complete multiple workouts. Bench press, weighted squats, chin ups ect. We were very surprised at how sturdy the rack is given the size. There is no movement with the rack when working out. The added bonus of the weight plate and safety bars made this Celsius a definite 5 Stars. Would recommend this product.

Solid construction and very stable. Easy to put together, though you will need two wrenches to put it together. Well worth the money if even for just the chin up bar. Much safer than door frame attachment style chin up bars. I also use it as an anchor for resistance bands, which works well.
