What comes with the Half Rack?
The Half Rack includes the rack frame, two pull-up bars, two plate holders, two bar catches, two safety catches, and the hardware for assembly. It doesn’t include weight plates, a barbell, or clamps, so you’ll need to supply your own. The hardware kit includes a multi-wrench and an 8 mm Allen wrench.

What is the weight capacity?
The maximum user weight is 350 lbs (158 kg). The total weight capacity is 750 lbs (340 kg).

How much space do I need?
The recommended live area is 9 feet by 8 feet by 8 feet. Place the rack on an open, level surface, and keep it away from water and outdoor areas. We recommend placing a rubber mat underneath to protect your flooring.

How much weight do I need on the plate holders?
When you use the rack, at least 90 lbs must be on the plate holders. If the plates aren’t properly secured, they can fall and cause serious injury. The rack can hold up to eight 45 lb plates per side, for a maximum of 360 lbs per side. Load or unload one plate on each side at a time, and use clamps to lock the plates onto the barbell.

How do I assemble the Half Rack?
Assembly takes five steps, with hardware provided for each step. Before you start, remove the nut and washer from each bolt in step 1, as the manual instructs. Follow the steps in order, and tighten the hardware as each step directs. The manual’s diagrams show the location and orientation of each part.

How do I use the bar catches and safety catches?
Before you exercise, insert the two bar catches and the two safety catches into the beams on each side of the rack. Unlock them to remove them.

What safety precautions should I follow?
Read the entire manual before you assemble or use the rack. Keep children and pets away from the machine, and don’t leave children unattended in the same room. Keep your hands and feet clear of moving parts, and don’t place sharp objects around the rack. Wear appropriate workout clothing and running or training shoes, and avoid robes or loose clothing that could get caught. Warm up with stretching exercises before you train. Don’t use the rack for support during stretching, and don’t attach resistance straps, ropes, or other attachments to it. Only use attachments the manufacturer recommends.

Who should consult a doctor before using the Half Rack?
Consult your physician before you start any exercise program, especially if you’re over 35 or have a pre-existing health condition. Stop immediately if you feel dizziness, nausea, chest pain, or any other abnormal symptoms, and consult a physician right away. People with disabilities should use the rack only with a qualified person or physician in attendance.

Can I use the Half Rack outdoors or for commercial use?
No. The Half Rack is for home use only, and it isn’t intended for commercial use. Don’t use or store it outdoors or near water.

How do I maintain the Half Rack?
Inspect and tighten all parts before each use. Inspect the accessory bars and handles, check the decals, and tighten any loose nuts and bolts. Keep moving parts clean. Clean and wax the glossy finishes once a year. Replace any worn or damaged components right away, or remove the rack from service until it’s repaired.

How do I clean the Half Rack?
Clean the frame with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Don’t use solvents.

Where can I get service or replacement parts?
Service should only be performed by an Inspire Fitness Authorized Servicer. Service by anyone else can void your warranty. Use only genuine Inspire replacement parts, since other parts can also void your warranty and could cause serious injury. If you need help finding an authorized servicer or ordering parts, contact our support team.
