About 20 miles south of Salt Lake City in Draper, Utah is the home of Force USA. The recently released Folding MyRack is receiving a ton of attention from those that workout at home, but all of their primary products help serve a similar purpose. The entire team is dedicated to providing the highest value equipment for the home gym owner also concerned about space. Force is doing this in different ways than other companies with their all-in-one strength training systems and fully customizable, now space-saving, power racks.
The remainder of this article is a high-level look at the primary products Force USA produces, which are power racks (x2), all-in-ones (x4), and leg machines (x2). In the upcoming weeks, there will be a closer breakdown of each section and full product reviews on several items including the Folding MyRack after being used on a daily basis in the garage.
Power Racks
Up first is the MyRack. This is probably what comes to mind when most home gym owners think of Force USA. On this fully-customizable rack, you can add a seemingly unlimited amount of attachments to make it an all-in-one solution for your home gym. These attachments include multiple pull-up bars, dip handles, band pegs, weight plate holders, landmine, lat pulldowns, cable crossover, and more. Several colors are also available. You have the ability to have a pretty “decked out” power rack for under $1k.
Next, is the recently created Folding MyRack. This is a power rack made for all of us with limited space in their gyms. With a patented rack design, this does not need to be mounted to a wall and there is plenty of interior space for any of the main lifts. In addition, it takes well under a minute to fold up and then put back to normal. It’s very customizable as well. You have the ability to add dip handles, multiple j-hooks, several safety options, band pegs, weight plate holders, and a landmine. This option is a game-changer for those where every inch matters in their gym.
*With the next four “all-in-1″ machines,” you’ll be able to accomplish most of what you can do at a commercial gym, but still, reap many of the benefits of the home gym in an extremely compact space. They vary a bit but the average size of these 4 pieces of equipment is 77.5″ (W) x 55″ (D) x 89.5″ (H).
Plate Weight Machines
These are designed to be used with bumpers or plate weights. They are all-in-1 machines that will each include a large number of “training tools” in one compact unit. The Monster G3 is the little brother of the Monster G9 Commercial, but still provides “5 machines in 1” with a power rack, functional trainer, smith machine, chin-up station, landmine station, and other optional attachments like a leg press. The G9 would also include a low row, dip station, lat pulldown bar, and vertical leg press. Both include multiple storage options as well so everything you may need would fit directly on the machines.
Stack + Plate Weight Machines
The stack weights take these types of machines to a new level. They are easy to adjust, smooth, and will help keep your workout moving at a fast pace.
Both of these beautiful machines are “8 in one.” They both offer a rack, functional trainer, smith machine, leg press option, chin-up station, dip station, landmine, and suspension training compatibility. The big brother here is the Commercial G12 but the G6 is available for those that need something a bit slimmer and costs less.
Leg Machines
The Compact Leg Press would be a strong option for those wanting to perform this exercise in their home. It’s only 52″(W) x 65″ (D) x 57″ (H).
The name says it all. The Monster Ultimate 45 Degree Leg Press Hack Squat Combo combines a leg press and hack squat into one machine. While this is not a typical item that your average home gym owner would say is a priority, it is an impressive tool that is easy to adjust and solidly constructed.
Other
While other items are not focused on as much in marketing efforts, Force offers other quality items like barbells, flooring, bumper plates, bands, and other items that you should feel confident to purchase if you need additional items with a larger purchase.
Upcoming
As previously mentioned, there will be more in-depth articles upcoming in the next several months. These will show each item up close, explain the pros/cons, discuss who each is for, and more. There will also be some items that are given a full written review after being tested in the home gym setting.
