So, we scoured every major retailer’s website to determine the dimensions of their squat rack options, calculated the floor space (square footage) required for nearly every squat rack available from the major players in the fitness industry and put them in neat tables so you have a one-stop shop to see what is available to you. However, we couldn’t find a definitive resource on the size or dimensions of power racks, squat racks and wall-mounted squat racks. We knew we wanted two places to squat because my partner and I always train together, which meant we needed to be smart in our choice. This was certainly the case for us as we planned our garage gym. Many of us would love to have the biggest, beefiest power rack, but we are constrained by the space available to us.

Some form of squat rack is typically the centrepiece of a strength training-focused home gym and squat racks usually take up the most floor space in a home gym.
