So you’ve been thinking of building a home gym, but don’t know where to start? That’s where GRIND Fitness comes in! Without breaking the budget, GRIND offers quality racks and strength equipment that can give you the gym you’ve dreamed of.
Every great home gym starts with a rack as a base. If you’re looking for a rack that can handle some serious lifts, GRIND has you covered! The Alpha3000 Full Cage and Chaos4000 Half-Rack are both highly rated, heavy duty racks to start your home gym with. Both are under $600, meaning you can make it work within a budget!
How are the Alpha3000 and Chaos4000 Similar?
These two racks, though very different, have some similarities! Both come with different, textured, multi-grip pull-up bars to switch up your routine. The two racks both come with a pair of rubber coated J-Cups that have 1,000 lb capacity. Plus, you can purchase additional J-Cups for either rack! Is storage an important feature for you? Both the Alpha3000 and Chaos4000 offer additional plate-storage options, resistance-band storage, and barbell-storage attachments to keep your floor clear and clean! Adjustable spotter arms are also included for both of these racks, giving you the ability to get a heavy lift session in by yourself.
Alpha3000 Breakdown
The Alpha3000 is the only full cage squat rack offered on GRIND. You might be thinking, what can a full cage rack offer that a half-rack doesn’t? Let’s get into it!
A full cage squat rack means your rack has four uprights with bars on the top connecting them. How does this benefit you? Having four posts offers you more stability with all your lifts, giving you peace of mind when lifting by yourself! If you’re consistently lifting heavy and need spotters frequently, this rack is fully capable of protecting you if the barbell falls.
Do you have a bunch of space to work with for your home gym? If so, a full cage is a great option. The Alpha3000 is 48” wide, and 53” deep. Full cages usually take up more space than half-racks, but that means you can easily fit a bench inside the rack! Meaning you can do so many more lifts inside the cage. Don’t forget, the J-Cups are capable of holding 1,000 lbs, while the multi-grip pull-up bar on this rack supports 600 lbs!
Lifting in a full cage means you’ll most likely be adjusting spotter arms and J-Cups often. That’s why ALL four uprights have numbered holes for easy adjustments! Plus, the Alpha3000 has add-ons such as weight pegs, dip bars, or barbell storage.

Storage is a major feature with this rack. With six weight pegs PLUS room for additional pegs, you’ll have more than enough space to store your weight plates!

Mount the barbell storage on any upright, and enjoy your setup without a barbell taking up a bunch of space when not in use!
