Where are you getting a rack if you had to do it again?
Earlier this year, we asked a similar question for the third time in three years with Rogue, REP, Titan, and “other” as possible options.
The data has shown a large rise in those choosing racks from REP, while Rogue‘s dominance has gotten smaller.
Nevertheless, with the release of the Manticore from Bells of Steel, I wanted to throw them in the mix because it does to be a very compelling rack that many will consider. Therefore, I replaced “other” with Bells of Steel for this poll.
There is a good chance that many don’t know much about the rack yet, but it didn’t capture as many votes as expected. About 7% voted for Bells of Steel.
The “Titan” votes stayed about the same, and REP got closer to Rogue, but they were still the top choice with 42% of the votes.
The community chimed in on this Instagram Post. Some of the top comments are highlighted below.
In Addition, the Majority is willing to pay a little more for the correct power rack color.
The Manticore only offers one color option (as nofate247 highlights on a roundtable), so it inspired the following questions from the last Sunday Survey.
While only 47% admitted to the color of their power rack mattering (compared to 26% caring about the color of their barbell), almost 60% said they’d be willing to pay a little more for the right color.
Therefore, maybe Bells of Steel and other companies offering racks should look into adding color customization options!

Being involved with CrossFit since 2014 Rogue is the only name I knew of. So when I put together my home CrossFit gym rogue was my choice. I went with the rogue monster I paid extra for the red and added all the upgrades. Honestly I didn’t know about bells of steel or Rep fitness. My only complaint with rogue is there prices and what they charge for shipping is crazy.
I don’t think you are alone. Rogue’s brand brand awareness is unmatched.
