ONE HIGH-PERFORMANCE RACK SYSTEM.

Every Stray Dog athletic facility is built on the same foundation: Alpha power racks for primary barbell work and ATR auxiliary training racks for cable machines and accessory stations. Together they replace standalone machines, maximize space, and serve every athlete in your program.

WE ARE PIONEERS OF THE MODERN RACK SYSTEM

In 1998, most athletic weight rooms used separate squat stands and bench press stations. We were among the first companies to combine them into a single modular system and we've spent 25 years evolving that design

Frequently asked questions

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ALPHA RACK AND THE ATR?

The Alpha is your primary barbell lifting station — built for squats, bench press, deadlifts, and overhead press. The ATR is your auxiliary system, designed to replace standalone cable machines and add accessory training capacity without taking up additional floor space. Most facilities use both.

WHAT STEEL SPECS DO STRAY DOG RACKS USE?

3×3" 11-gauge steel with 1" holes on 2" spacing. This is the commercial industry standard and ensures compatibility with most third-party attachments.

CAN CABLE MACHINES BE INTEGRATED INTO ALPHA RACKS?

Yes. The Alpha uses a proprietary 4-way hole system that lets you integrate lat pulldowns, cable columns, and belt squats inside the rack — no additional floor space required. This is one of the core design differences between Alpha racks and standard commercial power racks.

WHAT CONFIGURATIONS DOES THE ALPHA RACK COME IN?

Four configurations — Half Rack (36" depth), Double Half Rack (69" depth), Full Rack (72" depth), and Half Full Rack (105" depth). All are 96" tall and 49" wide.

CAN ATR UNITS CONNECT TO ALPHA RACKS?

Yes. ATR sides mount directly off an Alpha rack, extending your lifting station into an integrated cable and storage system without adding floor footprint.

HOW MANY RACK STATIONS DO I NEED FOR MY PROGRAM?

One station per 3–4 athletes is a standard starting point. The right split between Alpha racks and ATR units depends on your training methodology, space, and scheduling. This is the core question we work through during the free facility design consultation.

WHAT WARRANTY COMES WITH STRAY DOG RACKS?

Lifetime warranty on all welds and frames. Wear items like upholstery and cables are replaceable through our maintenance program.
