Pro Tips for This Build

1

Order the rack first — everything else fits around it and lead times can be 2-4 weeks

2

A functional trainer replaces dozens of isolation machines for cable work

3

Install proper flooring before the rack goes in — it's nearly impossible to add later

4

Plan your layout on paper first: leave 3 feet of clearance around the rack for safety
