Best Body-Solid Double Power Racks for Group Training

A single power rack is a bottleneck the moment you're training more than one lifter at a time. A double power rack for group training solves that by putting two full rack stations side by side under one shared frame, so two athletes can squat or bench at once instead of waiting on each other. Body-Solid builds five different double-rack configurations, and picking the right one comes down to how much space you have and how many lifters you need to run through it. Here's how each one compares.

Why Facilities Choose a Double Rack Over Two Single Racks

A double power rack package shares a center frame between two rack stations, which saves floor space compared to bolting down two separate single racks, and most Body-Solid double racks add a monkey bar attachment across the top — turning dead space between the two stations into functional training area for pull-ups, hanging core work, or band anchoring. That combination of shared footprint and added functional capacity is exactly why double racks show up in CrossFit-style group classes, university weight rooms, and commercial gyms running back-to-back training sessions.

SPR1000DB: The Commercial Double Power Rack Package

Price: $3,955 | Weight Capacity: 1,000 lbs. per station | Dimensions: 94"H x 197"W x 81"L | Product Weight: 821 lbs.

The Body-Solid SPR1000DB is the baseline double power rack package in the lineup — two full 1,000 lb.-rated rack stations joined by a monkey bar attachment, in a footprint under 200" wide. For a group training environment where the priority is simply doubling your squat and bench capacity without doubling your floor space, this is the package to start from.

Best for: Facilities that want two simultaneous rack stations plus overhead pull-up capacity without paying for safety straps or rear extensions they don't need.

SPR1000SSDB: Added Safety Straps for Group Classes

Price: $4,300 | Weight Capacity: 1,000 lbs. per station | Dimensions: 94"H x 197"W x 81"L | Product Weight: 821 lbs.

The SPR1000SSDB is the same footprint and capacity as the SPR1000DB, with safety straps added to both stations. In a group fitness class setting where lifters of mixed experience levels are working without a dedicated spotter on every rep, safety straps are the difference between a supervised class and a liability. For coaches running classes rather than one-on-one sessions, this upgrade earns its keep fast.

Best for: Group fitness classes and studios where members train with varying spotting experience and need a built-in safety net on both stations.

SPR1000DBBACK: More Room with Rear Extensions

Price: $5,695 | Weight Capacity: 1,000 lbs. per station | Dimensions: 94"H x 224"W x 92"L | Product Weight: 1,066 lbs. | Frame: 3"x3" 11-gauge steel mainframe

The SPR1000DBBACK adds rear extensions to both stations, growing the footprint to 224"W x 92"L and the frame weight to 1,066 lbs. The extra depth gives lifters more room to set up Olympic pulls, rack pin work, and other movements that need clearance behind the main rack posts — useful in a facility running strength and conditioning programming alongside straight squat/bench work.

Best for: Programs that mix Olympic lifting or pin work into group sessions and need the extra rear working space on both stations.

SPR1000SSDBBACK: The Fully Loaded Package

Price: $5,925 | Weight Capacity: 1,000 lbs. per station | Dimensions: 94"H x 224"W x 92"L | Product Weight: 1,066 lbs. | Warranty: Body-Solid Full Commercial

The SPR1000SSDBBACK combines everything: rear extensions on both stations plus safety straps on both stations, backed by Body-Solid's full commercial warranty. It's the most expensive double rack in the lineup, but for a facility running high lifter volume through group classes, it's also the one that needs the least supplementing later — no separate safety strap purchase, no retrofitting rear extensions once programming grows.

Best for: High-volume commercial facilities that want the complete double-rack package in one purchase, with safety straps and rear extensions on both stations from day one.

SPR500DBL: A Compact Double Half Rack

Price: $2,445 | Weight Capacity: 1,000 lbs. | Dimensions: 100.6"L x 80.6"W x 89.3"H | Product Weight: 582.8 lbs. | Warranty: Body-Solid Full Commercial

The SPR500DBL Double Half Rack takes a different approach: two half-rack stations rather than two full power rack cages, at roughly 60% of the SPR1000DB's price. Half racks trade the full four-post cage for an open front, which is faster to load in and out of for group classes moving between exercises, and the lighter 582.8 lb. frame is easier to reposition if your facility rearranges its floor plan between class types.

Best for: Budget-conscious facilities or classes that value quick in-and-out access over full four-post cage protection.

Quick Comparison Chart

Which Double Rack Fits Your Facility?

If you're outfitting a new group training space and want to start simple, the SPR1000DB covers the core need — two rack stations, monkey bar pull-up capacity, and a 1,000 lb. rating per station. Add the SS variant the moment your classes include lifters who might need a spotting backstop. If your programming includes Olympic lifting or pin work, step up to a BACK model for the extra rear clearance, and go with the SSDBBACK if you'd rather buy the complete package once than upgrade piece by piece later. For facilities on a tighter budget or running fast-paced circuit-style classes, the SPR500DBL double half rack delivers two stations at the lowest price point in the lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a commercial double power rack package typically include?
A Body-Solid double power rack package includes two full rack stations sharing a center frame, each rated to 1,000 lbs., typically with a monkey bar attachment spanning the top. Higher-tier packages like the SSDBBACK add safety straps and rear extensions to both stations.

Can multiple users train on a double power rack at the same time?
Yes — that's the core design purpose. Each station on a Body-Solid double rack operates independently, so two lifters can squat, bench, or use the monkey bar attachment simultaneously without interfering with each other.

What's the difference between a double power rack and a double half rack?
A double power rack (like the SPR1000DB) gives each station a full four-post cage. A double half rack (the SPR500DBL) uses an open-front design per station, which is faster to move in and out of but offers less enclosure than a full cage.

Is a double rack a good fit for group fitness classes specifically?
Yes. The SS (safety strap) variants are built for exactly that scenario — classes where lifters of mixed spotting experience are training without one-on-one supervision on every set.

How much floor space does a Body-Solid double power rack need?
It depends on the model. The SPR1000DB and SPR1000SSDB need a footprint of about 197"W x 81"L, while the BACK variants with rear extensions need roughly 224"W x 92"L. The SPR500DBL double half rack needs about 100.6"L x 80.6"W.
