Buying a complete home gym package saves you time, shipping costs, and the headache of making sure everything is compatible. These four brands offer the best bundled setups โ€” from space-saving wall-mounted rigs to full-on all-in-one trainers with cable stacks. Here's how they compare on price, equipment included, and who each one is for.

1. PRx Performance โ€” Best for Garage Parking

PRx is the undisputed king of space-saving home gyms. Their Murphy Fold-In Rack folds vertically against the wall, freeing up your entire garage floor when you're not lifting. PRx's Build Your Own package lets you pair a fold-in rack (Profileยฎ or Profileยฎ PRO) with a PRx barbell, bumpers, and a fold-flat bench โ€” everything folds away. Pricing runs $2,200โ€“$3,500 depending on rack model, bar choice, and plate weight (160โ€“260 lbs). The Profile PRO rack ($749 stand-alone) uses 3x3" 11-gauge steel and holds 1,000+ lbs โ€” it's a serious rack that happens to fold.

Important

Wall mounting requires stud anchors into a concrete or properly framed wall. PRx includes mounting hardware, but if your garage has steel studs or unusual construction, consult a contractor first. Installation takes 2โ€“4 hours with two people.

Pros

  • Folds to 4" from wall โ€” park your car
  • 3x3" 11-gauge steel (serious rack)
  • Made in USA, lifetime warranty
  • Gas shocks for easy fold/unfold

Cons

  • Expensive โ€” $2,200+ entry point
  • Wall mounting required (not for renters)
  • No cable system integration
  • Attachment ecosystem is limited

2. REP Fitness Apollo Bundle โ€” Best Modular System

REP's Apollo Bundle is the most flexible package on the market. You pick a PR-4000 or PR-5000 rack, a REP barbell (Colorado, Double Black Diamond, or Gladiator), REP bumpers or iron plates, and an AB-4100 or AB-5200 bench โ€” and REP bundles them at a discount. Pricing starts around $1,500 for a PR-4000 + Colorado bar + 230 lb iron set + AB-4100 bench, and climbs to $2,800 for a PR-5000 + Double Black Diamond + 260 lb bumper set + AB-5200. The real advantage: the REP ecosystem. You can add an Ares cable system ($2,799), Athena selectorized system, or any of 50+ attachments later without compatibility headaches.

Pros

  • 50+ compatible attachments
  • Cable system upgrade path (Ares/Athena)
  • Choose every component yourself
  • Free shipping on most bundles

Cons

  • No Smith machine option
  • Lead times can stretch 3โ€“6 weeks
  • Rack + Ares = $3,500+ total
  • Not space-saving (needs dedicated room)

3. Force USA G3 / G6 โ€” Best All-in-One Machine

The Force USA G3 ($2,499) and G6 ($2,999) are fundamentally different: they're not "packages" in the traditional sense โ€” they're single all-in-one units that replace an entire gym. Each unit includes a power rack, Smith machine, dual 200 lb weight stacks (functional trainer), lat pulldown, low row, cable crossover, leg press, and pull-up bar. The G3 is rated for 772 lbs; the G6 bumps to 992 lbs and adds a few extra stations. Neither includes a barbell, plates, or bench โ€” you'll add those separately. Figure $3,000โ€“$3,500 totalwith a bar, 260 lb plate set, and a flat bench from REP or Titan.

Pros

  • 150+ exercises in one footprint
  • Smith machine + free-weight rack
  • Dual weight stacks (no pin changes)
  • Leg press station built in

Cons

  • No bar/plates/bench included
  • Massive assembly (full weekend)
  • Freight shipping ($200โ€“$400)
  • Bulky โ€” 51" x 75" permanent footprint

4. Bells of Steel Home Gym Bundle โ€” Best Value Under $2,000

Bells of Steel's Hydra Rack + Bar + Plate Bundle is the best sub-$2,000 complete gym. You get a Hydra 4-post rack (3x3" 11-gauge, 93" uprights), a 20 kg Olympic barbell, 230โ€“260 lbs of bumper plates, and a flat or adjustable bench for $1,200โ€“$1,800 depending on plate weight and bench type. The Hydra rack is direct-compatible with REP PR-4000 attachments, so you can tap into REP's massive ecosystem. Best of all: free shipping on all bundles, which saves $200โ€“$400 versus competitors. BoS also offers a Manticore rack bundle ($1,800โ€“$2,200) with 3x3" 1-inch hardware if you want Rogue Monster-compatible accessories.

Pros

  • Free shipping on everything
  • 3x3" 11-gauge = REP/Rogue compatible
  • Best package price under $2,000
  • Good bumper plates included

Cons

  • Smaller attachment catalog than REP
  • No cable system integration (yet)
  • Single color bumper options only
  • Customer support is US-based but small
