Eleiko Prestera Power Rack

The Eleiko Prestera Power Rack is a complete strength training station designed for lifters of all levels. The stainless steel uprights feature etched numbers and tight 25 mm hole spacing, making it easier to get your barbell in exactly the right position.

Built with strong 70x70 mm steel, the rack gives you plenty of space to lift safely and confidently. It also includes adjustable J-cups with protective rollers, which protect your barbell and make it easier to adjust for your next set.

SVR Insert Platforms

Each rack is paired with an Eleiko SVR Insert Platform. These platforms fit perfectly into the rack, creating a stable and professional space for heavy lifting. The SVR technology helps reduce noise, cut down on vibration, and prevent bounce when dropping a barbell. That makes training better for you and more comfortable for everyone in the gym.

The surface of the platform is made with a durable laminate top that offers excellent grip, so you can train hard with confidence. So please, keep all heavy lifting on the platforms to ensure safety and great performance.

The new platforms and racks are a fantastic upgrade. The racks offer better height adjustment and allow us to add more kit, like hip thrust pads, split squat bars, and even built-in Smith machines and dual cable systems, increasing the versatility and functionality of that area. This gives us more coaching options in one place. The platforms are much more stable, with reinforced flooring, reduced noise and bounce, and better grip and stability, especially for Olympic lifting. This is a huge step forward for both our coaching and member experience.
