Ryan Kent's Home Gym

FAQ

What’s included in Ryan Kent’s Home Gym collection?

This curated lineup centers on barbell training with options like a PR-5000 power rack, benches, bars, bumper and change plates, plus free weights (dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, medicine balls), conditioning tools (sled, plyo), and storage. It’s a versatile, hybrid-athlete friendly setup built from REP Fitness staples.

Which barbell should I choose for this setup?

Pick a multipurpose bar (e.g., Colorado™) for mixed training, a power bar (e.g., Double Black Diamond™) for squat/bench/deadlift focus, and add specialty bars (open trap, safety squat, curl) as your goals evolve; our barbell comparison guide breaks down the differences.

How do I choose a bench for this collection?

An adjustable bench like the REP® BlackWing™ supports flat and incline work; compare pad gap, angle ranges, stability, and easy transport features, and consider add-ons like a leg roller for more movements. REP benches are designed to pair smoothly with our rack ecosystem.

Will this fit a small garage gym, and how do I keep it organized?

A 4‑post rack saves footprint, while a 6‑post or rear storage adds capacity if you have room; REP storage solutions like weight horns, wall racks, and bar holders keep floors clear. Compact tools (kettlebells, sandbags, dip stations) add versatility without eating space.

Should I use bumper plates or iron plates in a home gym?

Bumper plates cut noise and help protect floors for Olympic and mixed training, while iron plates are thinner and often more budget-friendly if you’re not dropping lifts; see our guide to bumper plates vs. iron plates to decide.
