Body Solid Multi Press Rack Review

The commercially rated GPR370 Multi-Press Rack from Body-Solid is a heavy-duty workout rack with a barbell set and easy-to-use adjustments, and it comes with a lifetime warranty for in-home use. The lifetime warranty is comprehensive and impressive, and even covers normal wear and tear.

This rack is rock solid built with 11-guage steel tubing, and it definitely lives up to Body-Solid’s boasts of being able to last one’s lifetime.

In the world of strength training, free weight training is where it’s at, but in order to maximize the session, and really push the envelope, the one working out has to feel secure. It’s one thing to feel this way in the gym. It’s something entirely different to accomplish this in one’s own home. However, this is exactly what Body-Solid has managed to do with the design of the GPR370 Multi-Press Rack.

Body-Solid designed the GPR370 with an extra-wide 4-point stance in order to maximize stability. Whether you have this downstairs on concrete in the basement, or upstairs on a carpeted floor, the device feels substantial. That’s exactly the confidence and the mindset one requires in order for one to take the right approach to freeweight training. The 14-position gun rack supports up to more than 1,000 lbs.

The Body-Solid Multi-Press Rack also features a 7-degree reverse pitch in order to accommodate your body’s natural lifting movement. Safety and lift-off positions are exactly where you want them so that racking the bar is always predictable and comfortable. This is one of the primary problems areas in racks built for home use, and in our estimation seems as if Body Solid made it a point to get this aspect of the rack right.

The GPR370 ships disassembled, so you’ll have to put this one together yourself. Let’s just start by saying that to call the assembly a bear is an understatement. It’s not that anything is particularly hard in and of itself, but the entire process is very involved, and the included instructions leave much to be desired. It probably helps a little if you’ve had experienced putting together gym equipment before, but each of these builds is its own animal. Expect a solid two hours for assembly for the mechanically inclined. In addition, you can save a great deal of time by having a second pair of hands.

Once you’ve assembled it, the GPR370 is a complete joy, and you’re ready to start with squats, calf raises, lunges, dead lifts, upright rows, and a wide array of other power building exercises. Add a free weight bench (not included) for increased workout capacity, and start performing bench, incline, decline, and shoulder press routines.

What do Customers have to say about the Body Solid Rack?

“I have very good things to say about Body-Solid. I have at least five of their pieces of equipment in my home exercise regimen. Their equipment is well-designed, with the user in mind, well-built, and, though made in China, is constructed with excellent quality control. It is, as they advertised, built to last a lifetime. “

“The rack is extremely stable and solid and I highly recommend this unit to anyone wishing to build or upgrade their home home gym. I would rate this higher if I could. “

The bottom line is that the Body Solid Multi-Press Rack is a worthwhile investment for the workout warrior who is serious about working out at home. At the time of this review, the GPR370 was retailing at approximately $100 below MSRP. Less than a half a grand for a comprehensive multi-press rack with a lifetime warranty is an excellent deal.
