Rank #4 in Best Squat Rack 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Load Ratings Don't Add Up
GYM MASTER Squat Rack and Bench Press Stand with Dip Bars
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The GYM MASTER Squat Rack and Bench Press Stand is one welded steel frame that the listing presents as a squat rack, bench press station and dip bar setup in a single footprint, with adjustable J-hooks, spotter arms and weight plate storage. It sits at number 4 in this guide at £69.99, rated 4.6 out of 5 from 197 ratings, with a stated maximum load capacity of 250 kg and an item weight of 10 kg.
That pair of numbers is the finding. The cheapest stand in this guide claims the identical 250 kg on a frame the listing gives as 18.5 kg, so the headline load figure does not separate the £49.98 stand from this £69.99 one — the weight of the steel does. The same listing gives the built height as 168.5 cm, while one reviewer says it reaches about 1.90 m, and the star-by-star breakdown on the page adds up to 100 against the 197 ratings quoted. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Solid kit for bench press, squat, overhead press, good mornings and dips. Only trouble I had were with the screws, you need 2 spanners, ideally adjustable, but at least you know its solid once tight. Dismantled you can stick it in a corner and it's not taking up much space, constructed it has great versatility on height and width and its easier to adjust than my dip bars that cost nearly as much.”
Verified purchase“For this money the quality is perfect, it even exceeded my expectations, it is completely worth the money.The height reaches about 1.90 meters.”
