Where to acquire power rack in Canada?

[zenofex73]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering where I could get buy a power rack in Canada, preferrably through a store rather than online, but either will do. I am looking for one that's not so big as I have limited space in my garage.

I couldn't find one in any department stores, maybe i am just not looking hard enough?

Thanks!

good price and good selection. I didn't have the space :( and had to suffice with a power tower.

I'm 20, living at home :P my parents won't like it when I take over 3/4 of the garage, but... that's okay lol

You can find them at pretty much any fitness store, like fitness depot, go mango fitness, flaman's fitness etc. You should be able to find something local, shipping a power rack wouldn't really be worth it.

Also, check craigslist, kijiji, etc. They come up every so often, sometimes with a set of olympic plates and bar. You can snag a great deal if you're patient. Department stores most likely won't have them.

What are your space restrictions? Most racks are around 4'x4'x7'. At minimum you'll want and area that is 8'x8'. The bar is 7' long, need space to load/unload weights, and probably want space in front of the rack for things like deads or presses (hard to do presses inside a rack that is only 7' tall). You could also look into a set of squat stand if space is really an issue. Won't be a huge savings $$$ wise, but they take up less space.
