Black Friday Power Rack Clearance: Best Squat Rack & Half Rack Deals in Australia 2026

If there's one piece of equipment that defines a serious home gym, it's a rack. A quality squat rack or power cage lets you train the most important barbell movements — squats, bench press, overhead press, deadlifts, pull-ups — safely and without a training partner. It's the investment that makes everything else in your gym more useful.

Right now, World Fitness Australia is running its biggest Power Rack Clearance through the Black Friday Gym Equipment Deals with 17 products on sale — squat racks, half racks, full power cages, Smith machine hybrids, and complete barbell packages — at discounts running from 28% to 60% off regular price. Some of these are clearance prices on models making way for new stock, which means the savings are genuine and the window to buy is limited.

This guide covers every product in the clearance, structured around rack type and budget tier, so you can find the right setup for your space, your training, and your budget.

Understanding the Rack Types Before You Buy

The terminology around racks is inconsistent across brands, so here's a plain-English breakdown of what you're actually comparing.

Squat racks (also called squat stands or open racks) are the most compact option — typically two upright posts with adjustable J-hooks and safety catches. They're ideal for squats, overhead press, and barbell bench press when paired with an adjustable bench, and they take up minimal floor space. The tradeoff is that they offer less enclosed safety than a cage-style design, so the safety catches need to be set correctly before each session.

Half racks add a crossbar across the top of the two uprights, giving you a pull-up bar and additional structural rigidity. Some half racks also add rear uprights or angled support legs. They offer more stability and versatility than a bare squat rack while taking up less floor space than a full power cage.

Power racks (or power cages) fully enclose the barbell on four sides with two front and two rear uprights. This is the safest configuration for heavy solo training — you can set the safety bars and go to depth on a squat or true failure on a bench press without risk. They require more floor space but are the gold standard for serious lifting.

Smith machines with rack functionality add a guided barbell track to the half rack or power cage structure. The linear bearing Smith machine provides a fixed bar path useful for learning movement patterns, shoulder pressing, hip thrusts, and accessory work — while still giving you the open barbell rack functionality for free squats and other compound lifts.

All of these machine types are on clearance right now. The right one depends on your training priorities, your available floor space, and how much of your training is done solo.

Black Friday Squat Rack Deals

Squat racks are the most accessible entry point into barbell training for home gyms. Compact footprint, lower price, and still capable of handling every major compound lift when used correctly.

BodyIron SRL995 Squat Rack with Lat Pulldown & Seated Row — Best Featured Squat Rack

The BodyIron SRL995 Squat Rack with Lat Pulldown & Seated Row is on sale at $799 (was $1,249) — a saving of $450. It's a pre-order with expected dispatch from 16 December 2026, with over 200 units sold.

What sets the SRL995 apart from a bare squat rack is the integrated lat pulldown and seated low row station. This turns a standard squat rack into a near-complete training system — you get barbell squats, pressing, pull-ups, dips, lat pulldowns, and seated rows from a single unit with a compact footprint of 142 x 122 x 217cm.

The specs are genuinely commercial-grade for the price. The frame is built from 50x50mm steel tubing with laser-cut components and robot welding, with a matte black powder-coated finish. The rack has 18 height adjustment settings, the barbell catches are rated to 250kg, the multi-grip pull-up bar supports 250kg, and both the lat pulldown and low row stations are rated to 150kg each. The cable system uses sealed bearing pulleys for smooth motion and runs a 1:1 cable ratio. Compatible with both Olympic (50mm) and standard (27mm) plates.

Inclusions: 2x J-hooks, 2x safety catches, lat pulldown attachment, low row pulley attachment, multi-grip pull-up bar, adjustable dip handles, and side trays for small attachments.

Warranty: 2-year parts. Note: bench, barbell, and plates are not included.

The SRL995 is the best value squat rack in this clearance for buyers who want cable attachment capability built into their rack. The pre-order dispatch date of 16 December means it arrives before the new year — worth factoring into your planning.

Bodyworx Multi Press Squat Rack — Mid-Range Squat Rack on Clearance

The Bodyworx Multi Press Squat Rack is on clearance at $549 (was $799) — a saving of $250. The Bodyworx brand is well-regarded for robust construction at the mid-range price point. This is a compact, practical squat rack suited to home gym users who need the essentials — squat, press, bench — in a space-efficient format. See the Power Rack Clearance collection for current stock availability.

HD Heavy Duty Squat Rack — Best Budget Squat Rack on Clearance

The HD Heavy Duty Squat Rack is on clearance at $349 (was $599) — a 42% saving. At $349, this is the most accessible barbell squat rack available in this clearance. If your training is primarily squats and pressing and your budget is under $400, this is the entry point. Check the deals page for current stock.

Marcy All-in-One Home Gym Bench & Squat Rack MPM5108 — Best Combo Deal

The Marcy All-in-One Home Gym Bench & Squat Rack MPM5108 is on clearance at $549 (was $1,199) — a 54% saving and the deepest percentage discount on a combo product in the entire clearance. This packages an adjustable bench with squat rack functionality into a single unit — a genuinely useful combination for anyone who doesn't have the floor space to position a separate bench inside a rack. At $549 for the combo, it represents strong value for buyers equipping a first home gym. Check the deals page for current stock.

Black Friday Half Rack Deals

Half racks are the sweet spot for most serious home gym users — more stability and versatility than a bare squat rack, in a smaller footprint than a full four-post power cage.

Marcy Half Cage MSM8117 — Best Budget Half Rack on Clearance

The Marcy Half Cage MSM8117 is on clearance at $349 (was $699) — a 50% saving. Marcy is a long-established brand in the mid-range home gym market, and the MSM8117 brings a half-cage structure at a price that makes it genuinely accessible. If you want more enclosure than an open squat rack without the full investment of a commercial cage, this is a strong clearance pick. Check the deals page for current stock.

HD Heavy Duty Half Rack — Mid-Range Half Rack on Clearance

The HD Heavy Duty Half Rack is on clearance at $499 (was $799) — a saving of $300. The HD range is designed for buyers who want heavy-duty construction at a no-frills price. A half rack at this spec level is appropriate for intermediate lifters who train regularly and want a stable barbell station without the full cage footprint. See the Power Rack Clearance collection for current availability.

Commercial HD Half Rack — Biggest Saving in the Clearance

The Commercial HD Half Rack is on clearance at $999 (was $2,499) — a 60% saving and the largest absolute discount on a single rack unit in this sale at $1,500 off. This is a commercial-grade half rack priced down to home gym territory, and that saving is exceptional on a machine of this build specification. If you've been waiting for a commercial-spec rack at a home gym price, this is the strongest single deal in the entire clearance. Check the deals page for stock — a 60% commercial clearance discount will not last long.

Pro HD Half Rack Smith Machine — Best Half Rack Smith Combo

The Pro HD Half Rack Smith Machine is on clearance at $1,099 (was $1,999) — a saving of $900. This is the most versatile half rack in the clearance: it combines an open barbell half rack with a Smith machine on a single unit. If you want both guided and free barbell training in one piece of equipment — bench press and squats on the Smith machine, free barbell work on the open rack — the Pro HD delivers both without buying two separate machines. At $1,099 for a half rack with a Smith machine, the value is exceptional. Check the deals page for current stock.

BodyIron Ultimate Commercial Half Rack HR9000 — Premium Half Rack on Clearance

The BodyIron Ultimate Commercial Half Rack HR9000 is on clearance at $2,499 (was $4,499) — a saving of $2,000, the largest dollar saving on any single rack product in this clearance.

The HR9000 is a commercial half rack built for PT studio and high-use environments. At $2,499 it carries a commercial build specification at a price that PT studio owners typically can't access outside of clearance events. If you're fitting out a commercial or semi-commercial training space, the $2,000 saving on a machine of this calibre is a compelling reason to act. Check the deals page for current stock — commercial clearance items at this discount level have limited availability.

Black Friday Full Power Rack Deals

Full four-post power cages are the safest and most capable configuration for solo barbell training. They require more floor space than half racks, but for serious lifters — particularly those who squat and bench press heavy without a training partner — the enclosed design provides meaningful safety.

BodyIron Power Cage System MC350 — Best Value Full Power Rack

The BodyIron Power Cage System MC350 is on clearance at $599 (was $999) — a 40% saving. The MC350 is the most accessible full power cage in this clearance, and at $599 it's well under the threshold that most home gym buyers consider for a power cage. This is the right pick for buyers who want the safety of a full cage without the premium price. Check the deals page for current stock.

HD Power Rack — Mid-Range Full Power Rack on Clearance

The HD Power Rack is on clearance at $699 (was $1,199) — a saving of $500. For buyers who want a mid-range full power cage with heavy-duty construction at a sensible clearance price, the HD Power Rack sits at a compelling price point. See the Power Rack Clearance collection for current availability.

Commercial HD Power Rack — Best Premium Power Rack on Clearance

The Commercial HD Power Rack is on clearance at $1,999 (was $2,899) — a saving of $900.

BodyIron CX88 Power Rack Elite Set — Best Full Package on Clearance

The BodyIron CX88 Power Rack Elite Set + 110kg Olympic Barbell & Bumper Plate Set is on clearance from $1,999 (was $2,777) — a saving of $778. This is the standout package in the full power rack tier: it bundles the CX88 power rack with a complete 110kg Olympic barbell and bumper plate set, so you can start lifting the day it arrives. For buyers who don't yet own a barbell and plates, this removes the most common additional cost of buying a rack and weights separately. Multiple configurations are available — check the deals page for current options and pricing.

Black Friday Squat Rack Package Deals: Rack + Bench + Weights

For buyers who want a complete home gym setup in one purchase, World Fitness has bundled the BodyIron MPX100 Multi-Press Squat Rack into three package configurations covering different budget levels.

BodyIron MPX100 Multi-Press Squat Rack — The Base Rack

Before covering the packages, it's worth understanding the MPX100 itself. The BodyIron MPX100 Multi-Press Squat Rack is a multi-press squat rack designed for versatile home gym use — squats, bench press, overhead press — in a compact, adjustable format. It forms the foundation of three distinct Black Friday packages.

BodyIron MPX100 + UB250 FID Bench Package — $649 (was $1,198)

The BodyIron MPX100 Multi-Press Squat Rack & UB250 FID Bench Package is on clearance at $649 (was $1,198) — a 46% saving. This bundles the MPX100 rack with the UB250 adjustable FID bench — everything you need for barbell squatting and bench pressing from day one. If you don't yet own a bench, this is significantly better value than buying the rack and bench separately. The only addition needed is a barbell and plates.

BodyIron MPX100 + UB250 FID Bench + Complete Weight Package — $1,099 (was $1,999)

The BodyIron MPX100 Multi-Press Squat Rack, UB250 FID Bench & Complete Weight Package is on clearance at $1,099 (was $1,999) — a saving of $900. This adds a complete weight set to the rack-and-bench combo, so you have everything needed to start training immediately upon delivery. For buyers building a home gym from scratch, this is the most cost-effective way to get a complete barbell setup in a single order at a single Black Friday price.

BodyIron MPX100 Squat Rack Package — ProForm Bench, Adjustable Dumbbells & 120kg Olympic Weight Set — $1,499 (was $2,798)

The BodyIron MPX100 Squat Rack Package with ProForm Bench, Adjustable Dumbbells & 120kg Olympic Weight Set is on clearance at $1,499 (was $2,798) — a 46% saving and a dollar saving of $1,299. This is the most comprehensive package in the clearance: the MPX100 rack, a ProForm FID adjustable bench, ProForm adjustable dumbbells (covering dumbbell training from 4–20kg), and a 120kg Olympic weight set with barbell. For buyers who want a complete home gym covering barbell, dumbbell, and pressing work in one purchase, this package removes the need to source any additional equipment. At $1,499 for everything, it's exceptional value.

Which MPX100 package is right for you? If you already own weights: the $649 Rack + Bench package. If you have a rack and bench but need weights: buy separately. If you're starting from zero: the $1,099 Complete Weight Package covers the barbell training essentials. If you want barbell and dumbbell training in one purchase: the $1,499 full package is the most complete deal in this clearance.

Black Friday Belt Squat Attachment — Add Leg Training to Any Rack

The BodyIron Belt Squat Attachment is on clearance at $399 (was $599) — a saving of $200. A belt squat attachment is worth highlighting here because it changes what your rack can do for lower body training. Standard squatting loads the spine along with the legs — which limits training frequency and volume for many people, particularly those managing back issues. A belt squat shifts the load to the hips via a belt, allowing you to train legs hard without spinal loading. Compatible with power racks that have band peg attachments or low crossbar configurations. See the deals page for compatibility notes and current pricing.

How to Choose the Right Rack This Black Friday

With 17 products across four rack types and multiple price tiers, the buying decision comes down to four questions.

What's my available floor space? A bare squat rack can fit in a small garage corner. A full power cage requires at least 2m x 2m of clear floor. Measure before purchasing.

How heavy am I lifting, and do I train alone? Lighter lifters and beginners: a squat rack or half rack is adequate. Serious lifters who squat or bench press heavy without a training partner: a full power cage is the safer choice. The safety bars are what keep a failed lift from becoming an injury.

Do I want cable attachment capability? The SRL995 at $799 is the standout pick if you want lat pulldown and row capability built into the rack. No other rack in this clearance includes cable attachments at this price.

Do I need a bench, barbells, and plates, or just the rack? If you're starting from scratch, the MPX100 packages eliminate the guesswork and give you a complete setup in one purchase at one clearance price.

Why This Power Rack Clearance Is Worth Acting On Now

The "Clearance" label on this sale is specific — these are products clearing to make way for new stock, not a standard promotional discount. That distinction matters for two reasons.

First, the discounts are steeper than a typical sale: 50%, 54%, and 60% off on specific products are clearance prices, not regular promotional pricing. The Commercial HD Half Rack at $999 (was $2,499) and the HR9000 at $2,499 (was $4,499) are both machines that will not be available at these prices again once stock is sold through.

Second, clearance stock has a hard floor — when it's gone, it's gone. The Power Rack Clearance collection page shows live stock status for each product. Some of these products will be available for weeks; others — particularly the Commercial HD Half Rack at 60% off — could move much faster.

If you've been researching a rack, this Black Friday clearance is a genuine window. The key products to prioritise checking stock on: the Commercial HD Half Rack ($999), the HR9000 ($2,499), the Pro HD Half Rack Smith Machine ($1,099), and the CX88 Power Rack Elite Set (from $1,999 with a full barbell and plate package).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best squat rack to buy on Black Friday in Australia?

For most home gym buyers, the BodyIron SRL995 at $799 (was $1,249) is the standout pick — it includes an integrated lat pulldown and seated row station, 18 height settings, 250kg rack capacity, and sealed bearing cable pulleys in a compact footprint. For buyers who want a full power cage, the BodyIron MC350 at $599 (was $999) is the most accessible cage in this clearance.

What is the difference between a squat rack and a half rack?

A squat rack has two upright posts with J-hooks and safety catches — compact and space-efficient. A half rack adds a rear crossbar across the top (and sometimes rear uprights), providing a built-in pull-up bar and additional structural stability. A half rack generally handles heavier loading and offers more exercise options, but takes up slightly more floor space.

What is the difference between a half rack and a full power rack?

A full power rack encloses the barbell on four sides with two front and two rear uprights. This is the safest configuration for solo heavy lifting — the safety bars can fully catch a failed squat or bench press. A half rack has only the front uprights. For lifters training solo with heavy loads, particularly on bench press and squat, a full power cage provides meaningfully better safety.

Is the Commercial HD Half Rack deal genuine?

Yes — the Commercial HD Half Rack is on clearance at $999 from a regular price of $2,499 (60% off, $1,500 saving). This is a clearance event clearing older stock to make room for new arrivals, not an inflated pre-sale RRP. At $999 for a commercial half rack, this is the strongest single price-to-spec deal in the entire World Fitness Black Friday clearance.

Do any of the squat racks come with a barbell and plates?

Yes — the BodyIron CX88 Power Rack Elite Set bundles a 110kg Olympic barbell and bumper plate set with the rack from $1,999 (was $2,777). The BodyIron MPX100 Complete Weight Package at $1,099 and the full MPX100 package at $1,499 also include Olympic weight sets.

Does the BodyIron SRL995 include a lat pulldown bar?

Yes. The SRL995 ships with a lat pulldown attachment, low row pulley attachment, multi-grip pull-up bar, adjustable dip handles, and 2x J-hooks and safety catches. Bench, barbell, and plates are not included.

What is a belt squat and is the BodyIron Belt Squat Attachment worth buying?

A belt squat allows you to train lower body compound movements with the load attached around the hips via a belt, rather than on the shoulders. This eliminates spinal loading during leg training, making it valuable for lifters managing back issues or those who want to train legs more frequently without cumulative spinal fatigue. The BodyIron Belt Squat Attachment is on clearance at $399 (was $599) — worth considering if you already have a compatible power rack.

Does World Fitness offer professional installation for power racks?

Yes. World Fitness offers Australia-wide professional gym equipment installation services. Power racks in particular benefit from professional assembly given their weight and the importance of correct safety spotter arm alignment.

Can I use Afterpay or Zip for a power rack purchase?

Yes. Afterpay and Zip are both available at World Fitness Australia. Payment options are displayed at checkout and on the finance page.

Where can I see power racks in person before buying?

The World Fitness showroom at 327 Warrigal Road, Cheltenham VIC carries a large range of racks on display. Opening hours and directions are on the showroom page. The SRL995 is confirmed as on display in the showroom.
