So far this has been perfect. I don’t have room in my house for a rack. I don’t have a covered space outside for a rack. With this rack I can keep it in my shed and protected from elements and it’s SUPER easy to set up. Much sturdier than I was expecting. Excited to really start pushing myself on squats now that I have a rack
This review is actually an update to a previous review. I received my rack quickly and without issue. Upon unpacking the rack, I noticed that I was missing a few bolts from the foot plate. I reached out to Michael Tseng and with the assistance of Shane, they corrected the issue. Replacement bolts were sent out with extras if I needed them. I could not be happier with the service I received. I would recommend this Rack to anyone looking for a well built rack that saves space. Honestly…there’s nothing to think about…BUY AN AGILE RACK TODAY!! You will not regret it!! Thank you again Michael and Shane!! I appreciate your assistance!!
I though about buying my rack for months. My biggest concern was sturdiness when re-racking a heavy set on bench or squat. The uprights move a bit, but nothing that anyone should be worried about. This rack is solid. Worth every penny. I love this rack.
There are many half-way useful, cheaper "solutions" that attempt to circumvent the need for a sturdy squat rack in a home gym, but this rack solves the big lift, small space problem. I rowed on the national team and over the past decade have had my fair share of alternative strength phases (landmine, dumbbells, HIIT), but I love the classics the most -- back squat, front squat, inverted rack rows... I need a rack and I need it to stay put. This rack is legit. Structurally, it holds up and then folds back down into the corner when your office needs to look like an office again. The convenience of doing my favorite lifts at home in between cycling and run days is the best!
I had been looking for a sturdy yet space saving option. The verse agile rack was just what I was looking for. My wife got it for my birthday and it has been put to great use.
We also have a workout area at our church, and purchased a verse agile rack there too. The only complaint that I heard was for taller individuals, they wished it extended higher. They are 6’2-6’3.

I have actually, without knowing it,made a setup for hypertrophy which resembles wave periodisation.
It is though set in different rep ranges and time periods, for less compound movements and goes to total failure.
It goes like this:
Every session consists of revers pyramid sets where the first set is taken to total failure and the following set is lowered by 10% and also is taken to total failure. Usually this will be 1-2 reps below the first set (depending on exercise)
The wave starts with 10 reps which I continue on the following sessions trying to increase the reps until I reach 12 reps.
THEN I increase the weight by 10% (Which for most people equals to 4 reps less) and do 8 reps and try to increase this over the coming sessions to 10 reps.
THEN there is a third wave where I increase the weight again by 10% and now do 6 reps aiming for a final 8 reps after some further sessions.
After I reach 8 reps (starting point with 6) I then decrease the weight by 5% and start the next wave cycle/period with 10 reps again.
Works fantastic so far, but beginning to hit a brick wall, so doing some alternate training before I get back again at it!
Best thing about it is that strength went up extremely well over the months without any injury problems at all!
