Where are you most likely to get a power rack from?
REP was the relatively easy winner with 46% of the votes. Rogue was in second with 36%. They made up a whopping 82% of the total votes.
Similar to some other polls, REP has greatly increased from year to year. In 2024, they received just 18% of the votes, but now are closing in on 50% of the votes.
This has eaten away quite a bit of the Rogue and Titan votes.
*** Please note that these companies were chosen not only because of their popularity, but they also help show what features/budget most are interested in.
Where are you most likely to buy a folding rack from?
For this one, Rogue narrowly beat out PRx for the top spot.
While Rogue is on top for the second straight year, there was a decent shift.
PRx votes went up around 60% and all other options were down.
Did JAMMERGATE help?
While about half are not interested in a foldaway rack, a Wall-Mounted Option received about 2.5x more than a Portable one.
Nearly half own a 3×3 with 1 Inch Holes Rack
For whatever reason, 3×3 racks with 1″ holes have become pretty dominant and received 48% of the votes when asked what people own.
When looking at the year over year change, you’ll see a pretty big increase in those that have a 3×3 with 1-Inch hole rack. It looks like many who had a 2×2/other/none upgraded to one with those features.

That’s 21% more votes than in 2023.
30″ is the preferred rack depth for over 60%.
58% say they are willing to pay a little more for rack attachments that take up less holes on the rack.
That’s also up quite a bit from last year.

72% are willing to pay a little more for the right power rack color – up 13% points from last year.
Westside Spacing is of high interest to only 19%
I have a likely feeling that this is likely due to people choosing 1″ holes vs. 5/8.”
Level of Interest in an All-in-One Trainer is up Considerably
It needs to be noted that a specific definition for this wasn’t really defined, but it was the asked in the same way last year.
That said – “high interest” votes are up over 2.5x to 23%.
