The Phase 3 Short is being absorbed into the Phase 3 Modular going forward. Our current stock is the last we'll have of this exact machine, so grab yourself a high-performance, compact all-in-one trainer while you can. High performance at just over 2m tall The Phase 3 Short Rack brings an all-in-one trainer into the homes of people who couldn't previously consider one due to height restrictions. In one compact footprint, add a smith machine, 90kg dual cable stacks and a heavy-duty squat rack to your setup for everything you need for gym-quality workouts at home. Compact 2m footprint Standing at 2052mm tall and built from 75 x 75 x 3mm powder-coated steel, the Phase 3 Short delivers the same performance as our full-height racks in a much smaller footprint. Dual cable system The dual 90kg weight stacks can be accessed through the fixed, top pulleys on a 1:1 ratio for heavy pulls, and through the adjustable trolley system on a 2:1 ratio for lighter increment jumps. Smith machine 20kg of base resistance in a fixed plane of motion, ideal for solo lifting, rehabbing injuries and protecting your joints. Last few units There are fewer than 20 of these left in stock. Once they're gone, the Short Rack will be replaced by the new Modular Racks, so this is your last chance to get this exact 205cm build. We developed a shorter rack after being inundated with requests to sell a rack that could fit in smaller outhouses and garages. The result is this: all of the functionality you'd expect from an all-in-one trainer in a considerably shorter unit. It's built for users up to 6'2" without any loss of range of motion to lat pulldowns or low rows. If you want the full gym setup without the height that usually comes with it, this is the rack for you. What our customers say I bought the short rack and absolutely love it! Great quality. MuscleSquad team were quick to respond to my queries I had prior to buying and kept me updated after buying in the run up to delivery/installation. Installation guys were super efficient. 100% recommend. Jennifer Verified buyer The equipment is unbelievable. The guys who fitted it together were lovely. I am really happy with it. Claire Verified buyer Bought a Phase 3 squat rack / cable machine, the customer journey from 1st contact to installation has been fantastic. I asked lots of questions with Matt and he answered all quickly and professionally. The build quality is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this company, it was a pleasure to spend my money with them. Paul Verified buyer See it in action Wondering if you'll fit?

Once our final stock is gone, the Short Rack will be replaced by the Phase 3 Modular Rack range. If you specifically want this 205cm build, we recommend ordering while stock remains, as we won't be restocking this exact model. Should I buy this or the Modular? It depends what matters most to you. The Short Rack is in stock and ready to ship, so you'll get your equipment sooner. The Modular racks aren't due in until early September. The Short Rack is also a few hundred pounds cheaper and a little shorter, 2052mm compared with 2090mm on the shortest incoming Modular. The pull-up bar is different too. The Short Rack has a fixed, multi-grip bar, while the Modular racks all come with a straight bar. If a fixed, multi-grip bar is what you want, this is the rack to buy. Why is the weight stack 90kg? We've kept the weight stack at 90kg on the Short Rack intentionally, to leave enough cable travel on the fixed 1:1 pulley at the top of the frame. At just over 2 metres tall, there's less room in the frame for the stack to travel than on our taller racks, so 90kg strikes the right balance between resistance and full range of motion on exercises like lat pulldowns. What is cable travel and why does it affect this rack? Cable travel is the distance the cable can move through the pulley system. On a 1:1 system, you can only pull the cable for as long as there is room for the weight stack to travel inside the rack. The shorter the rack, the less room there is for the stack to move, which is why we've intentionally built the Short Rack with 90kg stacks. We found it to be the perfect balance between providing enough resistance and allowing full range of motion in lat pulldowns. How do I build the rack? Assembly typically takes 4–6 hours. Each rack comes with an instruction manual. If you'd rather not build it yourself, we offer a professional installation service in select postcodes. How much space do I need? Full measurements are provided in the Specs tab further up the page. Beyond that, we recommend 10cm of additional ceiling clearance to train pull-ups, 30cm on either side to comfortably load plates onto the bar and 1.5m in front to perform bench-supported exercises and all cable movements. How will it be delivered? Your rack will be delivered on a pallet to the nearest kerbside to your address. This is standard for equipment this size since our delivery partners aren't insured to bring the rack onto your property. You can then decant the box and move the parts inside. No individual piece weighs more than 25kg. Before your delivery, you'll be contacted by our couriers to arrange a date so you can be in to accept the pallet. We can also arrange specific delivery dates or hold your order until you're ready to receive it. Simply get in touch before ordering and we'd be happy to help. Do I need to bolt it to the floor? You can, but it's not necessary. This rack weighs over 500kg so it doesn't need any extra stability. Do I need gym flooring beneath the rack? Yes, it's highly recommended. We suggest having gym flooring across your entire space, but at the very least it should be under your equipment where the brunt of the weight is centred. Is finance available? Yes, we offer interest-free finance for 12 months and interest-bearing finance up to 48 months through our partners Novuna. Applications are subject to status and eligibility. What warranty does it come with? All MuscleSquad racks come with a 10 year warranty on the frame and 2 years on the cables, pulleys and accessories. If anything goes wrong in that time, contact us and we will arrange a replacement. England and Scotland (excluding Highlands) Your rack will be delivered by our delivery partners, Pallex.
