Studio 8 Bay Free Standing Gym Rig

The Bulldog Gear Studio 8 Bay Free Standing Gym Rig is the flagship of the Studio range, engineered for high-capacity commercial training environments where multiple athletes need to train simultaneously. Perfect for commercial gyms, functional fitness facilities, strength & conditioning centres, universities, professional sports clubs and military training facilities, it delivers exceptional durability, versatility and training capacity within a streamlined footprint.

Manufactured from heavy-duty 80 × 80 × 3mm laser-cut steel, the Studio 8 Bay Free Standing Gym Rig is built to withstand the demands of intensive commercial use. With a 450kg maximum rack load and 300kg pull-up bar capacity, it provides an exceptionally strong platform for squats, bench presses, overhead presses, pull-ups, Olympic lifting, functional fitness and accessory training.

Unlike wall-mounted rigs, the free standing design allows complete flexibility when planning your gym layout. It is an ideal solution for leased premises, facilities where wall fixing isn't possible, or commercial gyms that require the ability to adapt and reconfigure their training space as their membership grows.

Standing 240cm high, the Studio 8 Bay Free Standing Gym Rig features 8 independent rack positions and 20 dedicated pull-up stations, allowing large groups to train efficiently at the same time. Additional central pull-up stations provide even greater training flexibility when facility programming allows, making the rig ideal for circuit training, strength & conditioning programmes and functional fitness classes.

Precision laser-cut numbered uprights (1–25) make J-Peg and attachment positioning quick, accurate and repeatable, allowing coaches and athletes to return equipment to the same height every session. Finished in Bulldog Black textured powder coat, the rig is built to deliver years of dependable commercial performance.

Whether you're fitting out a large commercial gym, education facility or elite performance centre, the Studio 8 Bay Free Standing Gym Rig delivers the capacity, flexibility and durability required for modern strength training.
