Read my full REP HR-5000 Review - www.garagegymreviews.com/rep-f...
The Rep HR-5000 Half Rack is Rep Fitness' attempt to compete with Sorinex and Rogue Fitness at the top of the market, but through imported equipment instead of Made in the USA. This may seem like a slight, but in reality, their importing equipment allows them to sell a similar level of equipment at a slightly more affordable price, in some cases significantly more affordable. The HR-5000 features 3″x3″ 11-gauge uprights, laser-cut hole numbers, 4-way hole posts, oversized 1″ bolting, and a multi-grip pull-up bar as well as safety bars standard.
When you compare the price of the HR-5000 to some of the competition like the Rogue Monster Collegiate Half Rack it doesn't seem like a much better value, until you consider that adding Safety Spotter Arms (which will definitely be needed if you plan to ever train alone), will add nearly $300 to the cost. The prices being close, however, do force a closer inspection on the differences between the racks as we do in this review.

Another great review Coop. I’m hunting for a nice half rack so this is useful
Great timing on this as I'm working on a few videos looking at new racks and this was one of the ones I was considering
I watched ur vid before this.
Erick Heera *240?*
@@Rocket_Man. what do u mean
Nice! I'll watch the new vid!
The boy I asked you about two weeks ago, lovely projected, I love the upper band attachements and the scary look they have
Coop I just found your other channel. My two worlds are colliding. You're a financial wizard as well as a awesome content creator on this side
Rep is 5 min from my house so most of my gym is from them. So far I have had zero complaints. Everything has worked great.
Great review. Definitely on my wish list!
Another awesome review!
That pricing is too close to Rogue for me; I would rather pay the extra and get a USA made Rogue. Thanks for the review Coop, I always enjoy your videos.
Yep, I think that will be the opinion for a lot of people.
What product are you comparing? Rogue doesn't have anything in their Monster line that is within $500 with all the same options.
Nationalism
Coop - we need more of you! I loved your tour of the Rogue facility. What are your odds of also touring Sorinex, FringeSport, Prime, Rep, etc? Keep them coming!
Working on producing more content. We're at the tail end of a complete site redesign (over a year in the works.) Afterwards, I'll have more time to give to TH-cam.
I’ve been waiting for this video from you!! Next, do the FringeSport longhorn Barbell!
In the works!
planning on getting this once they restock
It took me 3 and a half weeks to decide on flooring. Finally went with the Horse Stall Matts instead of tiles and glad I did. Got 4 matts and going to get 2 more due to your advice. Much appreciated. I know its going to take me time to decide on a rack. I was just about set on this REP HR-5000 now reading some comments I'm going to keep looking. Buy once cry once right? There is a lot you can add to this half rack later on if I remember correctly. lol Love the info reviews you give out. Actually the REP -5000 Half Rack is out of stock.
Would like to see a review on Vulcan strength racks. They also have some cool looking flooring options.
Thanks for the reference... I need more options! 👍🏽
Hey Bud, I really enjoy your videos. I'm a newbie and starting little by little. You have such great content appreciate your advice, with that being said,. I just ordered my PR 1100 from Rep. Can you advice me now on a bar for squats and bench press? Everything is slim pickings. I appreciate the time 👍🏼
Can you please do a review on Fray Fitness half rack! And it’s products!
Numbered holes are fine, but when you're working out in your garage gym you can just use a marker to mark the holes you regularly use.
David we have multiple lifters in my home gym. numbers are added value
Hey, enjoying your reviews! Any chance you'd be able to review a Tydax Beast 36/49. Seem to be a newer Canadian Company. They sponsor alot of events up here, but I can't find a decent review on their gear. 3x3 11 gauge, with Lifetime Warranty and very aggressively priced (especially their bundle deals). I'm really curious about the powder coat quality, and the weld quality. J Cups design is interesting as well.
have you done a video on Vulcan racks? Seems like another option for a power rack.. I'm honestly torn on which one to get.. Half rack or Power rack..
My basement ceiling is 92" exactly. Any chance of trimming a 1/2" off the top posts and flipping the pull up bar? Is this all bolted together?
Can you do an update video on the titan fitness urethane bumper plates?
That's a great idea!
i always lifted on a half rack, never too much that i will get stuck on the first rep. Do you think the rogue monster half rack is sufficient or a full rack is necessary?
can we get a review on that bike rack
Hey Coop would love for you to try out rpt weightlifting bumper plates they are the best looking bumpers I can find with a crazy low price. My big question and the reason I would like to see you review their plates is how good are they. The low price is some what suspect to me.
Rep AB-5000 review coming up?
Yooo coop review the ss barbell
I know it’s been gone for a while, but what happened to the cool plywood walls?
When you gonna make a video on the garage gym update?
Everyone at Rep watching this today as it gets emailed around is saying "Come on, did he HAVE to wear a Rogue shirt?"
Haha I don't get why companies don't send us more apparel. I have 0 Rep Fitness shirts.
@@GarageGymReviews Well that needs to change.
Can the land mine attachment be use on this rack ?
Any tips on installing a lat pulley system for this rack?
Rep hinted they may be coming out with an attachment. They've taken the HR 5000 off their website temporarily.
Can you review on theyre new bench 5200 ab
Trying to decide between the REP, Rogue & Titan.
I been looking at this model but I think it’s still to short for me. 6’4. I do have 12’ ceilings in my garage.
What you think about Vulcan ?
For the life of me I can't understand the love for Rogue. It is so expensive. There are a lot of racks and halfracks for a third of the price that do the same job. Ok, Rogue and REP make very beautiful products but why pay 900 Dollars in stead of 300? Because it looks nicer? What are we? WE ARE BEASTS :) As long as it is sturdy, and doesn't rust, who gives a damn. I've been squatting and benching in my 200 dollar rack for ten years.. Except for a bit of scratches it stll looks new. Would I change it for a rogue if it was free? Of course I would... but paying these prices is rediculous; People.. it is steel! It's welded an it has holes. That's it.
I agree with you. For a homegym you don't need the shiny and supercool rack of 2000 bucks. But for a gym It would be good
Yeah but I don't know why american hate so much product made in china. Rep equipment is imported but coop keep to remember us that It's imported like it were a bad thing. Rogue equippment sucks becuase are too exspensive overall
@@Ema_coach_ coop mentioned it because it is good to buy in your own country to support your economy. Het does not criticize the quality
yeah and you're not squating 500lbs for reps in it are you....
If you want the full rack option it's literally less than $50 more than the half rack. Biggest differences are the footing is raised and the branded back brace is a solid piece, not riveted in place.
If I were to point out a negative it would be the lack of available accessories, but since it's standard 3-inch "rogue patterned" holing it should be able to take bits and pieces from rogue or sorinex.
Have you worked with any of Ironmaster's products?
Wondering the same thing. They actually honor their email notifications, unlike rep, and are constantly replenishing their inventory.
I’ve used a Rep Olympic bar at home for a couple years. No complaints at all. Great bar for the price.
They do have some good bars.
Is this still available? I can’t seem to build it to be a half rack on the website
I just order the 3000 bench and the Excalibur Barbell from rep fitness.
Any references on Steelpunk equipment, maybe HWM? I'm asking as those brands are the most common down here in Chile. I'm a big fan of your work, but I wonder if you have plans aiming your foreign audience. Keep it up!
Albert Maturana Steinbrügge Shoutout to Chile! Great idea. I too would love to see some international brands.
Do I need a rack to do squats?
TL;DR: Rep won’t replace substantially damaged parts if Rep deems the damage is “cosmetic.” You cannot call this a premium product when Rep won’t replace ugly, damaged parts. I’m beyond disappointed with the PR-5000 and I may return it at my own expense on principle. Feel free to DM me for pictures of the damage and screenshots of my interactions with customer service. I’ve seen others post similar stories on the r/homegym subreddit as well.
Full experience below:
People need to understand something that Coop may not be able to speak to because of his influencer status. While Rep promises a premium experience, Rep’s customer service is not empowered to meet that expectation when it comes to damaged items. They promise a Rogue level product but provide a Titan level of quality control and dispute resolution.
I recently received a PR-5000. One of the four uprights has a deep gouge in the powder coat. It’s approximately two inches in length and a half inch wide and deep enough that you can see the bare steel. I’m not talking about on one of the feet or the top side of crossmember that’s easily hidden, this gouge runs on the numbered side of an upright from 48"-50", so only a couple feet below eye level. When I messaged Rep and sent pictures, Rep’s rep stated:
“I'm sorry to see that it sustained damage in transit. It appears to be solely cosmetic, which we can be thankful for. Due to this, I cannot sustain an argument to have the entire unit replaced. Nevertheless, in lieu of a replacement, we'd be happy to offer a partial refund of $30 or a gift card for $60.”
I’ll set aside the veracity of that assertion despite my belief the gouge pretty much rules out rust resistance in gouged area and consequently, any outdoor use. But even assuming Rep's right, as Coop notes, this rack is overbuilt and excessive in almost every way imaginable-there’s not a lot you can do in here that you couldn’t do in a T3, at a fraction of the cost. What this review correctly indicates, and what Rep sells you on, is that it’s worth paying a premium for the aesthetics of 1” attachments, laser cut logos/numbers… Ultimately, a lot of the value is tied up in the look of it.
This rack costs well over a thousand dollars with shipping. My invoice was $1850. Other products in this price range include Rogue's competitors, Trek bicycles, iPhones/iMacs, designer clothes. Those companies send their defects to boneyard, or to outlets.
If I bought a MacBook and upon opening it, there was a crack in the screen or a dent in the aluminum, Apple would take it back and replace it. They wouldn’t say, “Safari still runs, here’s a $60 iTunes gift card.” If I bought a leather jacket with a tear in the sleeve, Nordstrom wouldn’t tell me that it will keep me warm. The $30 refund Rep offered amounts to a 1.6% rebate on the $1850 I spent with them.
What’s worse is their actual warranty and return website is misleading and deceptive. They claim that, “if your order was damaged during shipment, please contact us immediately so that we can direct you on how to return any times to us…. With the exception of… damages … all shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.” This is not a fair explanation of their process.
I’m beyond disappointed with them and I may return it at my own expense on principle.
I’ve had similar QC issues with them. What ended up happening with your issue?
I emailed rep fitness and they told me they don't make this rack anymore and that they updated it to the omni rack?? can't find it anywhere I don't know if iam typing the right name?
I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B
The Archway logo , looks like a guillotine 🏋️
so this product isnt available anymore.....
I’m coming up on my first rack purchase, and my only argument is “if I’m spending $1000-$3000 on a rack to start with, why wouldn’t I pay an extra couple hundred bucks and get a rogue monster?”
Didn't see this one on Rep website
It’s called the Apollo now.
REVIEW THEIR FUNCTIONAL TRAINER ASAP PLEASE :)))
Matthew Alexander I highly agree with this comment. They seem like a solid company for the price. Would love to see more of their products on your channel
Good idea, looks like a good product.
I know been looking for one please!!
“Comparable to the Rogue..” oh never mind, can’t afford it
Seeing a lot of people in these comments struggling to justify how much they payed for their overpriced Rogue racks
So they don't make this anymore or what?
How can I get klokov plates?
Simply by being willing to shell out some serious cash
So how much is it?
Any thoughts about using the Rogue Monster Trolley on this? I bought the Trolley and would love an RM6 but they are so $$$. Have been thinking about these rep models but I've read that the 1" holes don't go the entire length of the uprights. Is that a concern? Or should I just sell the Trolleys and just get the Rep anyway? Or save up for the RM6?
Edit to add: I just started watching the video and realized this is for the half rack. Oops.
Who ends at 1,004
Is this the best half rack on the market. What happened to the dip station.
No many better half racks. Best Chinese made half rack perhaps.
Bring back the mustache or we riot.
Soon! Hoping that by stopping hair growth on my lip that it will extend to the top of my head. Unfortunately, it's just forcing more hair growth in other places (you can use your imagination.)
@@GarageGymReviews rather not think about that
Coop is the only natty lifter on TH-cam
Not good dollar per value. Like you said almost rogue quality, go with a sml-2 plus half rack conversion, actually rogue quality and might be even cheaper
How tall is it?
93in
You can't have 1" holes and 1"bolts. The bolt/pin wouldn't go through the hole.
That seems like a bit much since most home fitness equipment is rarely even used. Why on earth would the average person want that?
Damn 1 view and 1 like. I'm real early
Ahh yeah!
I will be looking at this rack after Rogue hosed me... Rogue has now adopted the attitude of "we're doing you a favor selling you Rogue fitness equipment" I'm just not dealing with the kiss my ass attitude ... Too important to call people back and deal with problematic CS people. So they lost a $4800 order I'm sure they don't give a shit about it but every dollar will ad up.
What happened?
"Find your hole".
At that price point I want Westside hole spacing for benching.
Then it would need smaller pins.
@@ultimaetsolder I'd much rather have more selections for pin/j-cup heights than larger pins. It seems like a bad trade off to me.
I will try to place my money with any company that's comparable to Rogue just so I don't have to deal with Rogue and their unfortunate customer service. It's unfortunate, too, because I think a lot of Rogue products. Rep Fitness products really seem like they're of quality so far.
I have friends that have Rogue and Rep and they both work for what for what they're intended for. Now one reason Rogue is more expensive is that Rogue uses steel made in America which is 3 times stronger than steel made in China. I have family that's in the steel industry and they tell me that China doesn't have any testing standards or quality control when making steel so it's at a lower quality. But over all Rep will work just as well as Rouge for the amount of weight humans can lift. I have Rogue just for the resale value.
do you even lift?
Cough cough. Rogue Fortis Rack.
Man am I glad the mustache is gone
too bad nothing is in stock
why are you so small ?
It doesn't look as nice as the EFTS or Williams Strenght etc.
What makes it look not as nice? Just out of curiousity
@@GarageGymReviews awful nameplate... Looks cheap, awful pullup bar and well its rep fitness. Too much for rep fitness. Good upgrade from titan... But approaching rogue sorinex prices...is ridiculous. Chinese sourced but not cheaper.
Who has $1200 to spend on this? I must be very poor and fail to realize.
Yes you're poor if you think 1200 is a fortune unless youre 12
No westside spacing? No thank you
Wacko Banana-Pants 3x3 with 1 inch holes don’t have west side spacing.
Allenati di più... con meno cianfrusaglie.....😒😒😒
how hard would it be to call a Rep guy and confirm country of origin? come on, do the work
I wish you'd stop promoting this Rep crap. The Chinese-made equipment may be a decent value, but they treat their customers poorly.
