Bring a ton of versatility to your home gym with the Utility Seat. Attach it to multiple areas of your power rack like the crossmembers, uprights, Flip-Down Safeties, Spotter Arms, and ISO Arms. Create different exercises, such as leg presses, preacher curls, donkey kicks, box squats, box jumps, step-ups, stone loading, or even use it as a spotter platform. Add our Utility Seat Pad (sold separately) to perform prone exercises (like seal rows) comfortably. The seat is also compatible with the updated Band Pegs (sold separately) to allow for resistance band exercises or storage. The Utility Seat is heavy duty, weighing around 50lbs and made with 11-gauge steel. It has a capacity of 1,000lbs.
With the included alternate liner kits, the Utility Seat is designed to fit 3x3”-post power racks with outside widths of 47” and 49”. The Utility Seat is easy to install wherever you want it on your rack, with the integrated hand cutouts and mounting pins. The sides of the seat have universal hole spacing to allow for multiple mounting configurations. And it features thoughtful details, too, such as rounded tubing on the underside of the frame that make handling it more comfortable. The top of the Utility Seat is layered with a non-slip rubber mat to provide good traction on step-ups or leg presses.It features UHMW plastic lining to protect your equipment. The Utility Seat is finished with a metallic black powder coat, and the pad is made from dense foam with CleanGrip vinyl.

HOW WE BUILT THE UTILITY SEAT

The Utility Seat can be mounted on the ISO Arms to perform leg presses. It can also be mounted on the crossmembers or Flip-Down Safeties for box squats, box jumps, and step-ups; on Spotter Arms for the same movements (rack must be bolted to the floor or stabilized with Front Foot Extensions). For additional exercise ideas, check out our blog.
This utility seat was designed to fit a 3x3” post power rack with 1” or 5/8” holes and with outside widths of 47” and 49” to fit most power racks with those specifications. Keep in mind, due to machining variables, we cannot guarantee compatibility with non-REP products.
The Utility Seat is compatible with both the PR-4000 and PR-5000 (47” exterior width), as well as racks with a 49” exterior width, such as the Oxylus Yoke, if using the additional liners (included).
The Utility Seat comes with
- Eight mounting pins: four 5/8” diameter pins and four 1” diameter pins.
- Additional liners for 49” wide racks.
You can purchase a pad and band pegs separately. If you purchase the pad you will also receive 3 meters of protective tape that you can put on the bottom of the seat to prevent metal-on-metal contact.
You can mount the Utility Seat on Flip-Down Safeties. However, the seat can also be mounted in between the rack uprights, on REP ISO Arms, Spotter Arms, and on the rack crossmembers.
Structural welds on attachments and frames have a lifetime warranty. Pins have a one-year warranty. The pad has a 30-day warranty.

The Utility Seat comes with 3 meters of protective tape that you can choose to install on the bottom of the seat. Put it on the metal “edges” of the seat to prevent metal-on-metal contact and to protect both the seat and barbell, as well as reduce the noise.
No, the Utility Seat Pad is specifically designed for the Utility Seat, with mounting thumbscrews to secure it in place and for quick removal.
Yes. You can purchase Band Pegs to store your Utility Seat. This will only work on six-post racks that don’t have the Ares or Athena attachments. Also, if you buy the Utility Seat Pad, that cannot be attached to the seat while you have it stored.
The seat has a rubber lining, but you can add a dense, foam CleanGrip vinyl pad for more comfort, especially useful for prone exercises, like seal rows.
No, your uprights will be fine, even if there’s a little sound when the ball hits the seat. Toss away!
To get the most out of this movement, we recommend using the Utility Seat with a 41” deep power rack with no Rear Base Stabilizer.
You will sit on your bench facing your ISO Arms. Put your feet on the Utility Seat attached to the ISO Arms, loaded with weight. For this set up we used the weight horns to secure the Utility Seat to the ISO Arms instead of the included pins. For the leg press, you can’t have the Rear Base Stabilizer, Lat Pulldown & Low Row, or Ares installed.
If you don’t have a Rear Base Stabilizer on your rack, it may be a little crooked or angled. In this case, we recommend loosening the pull-up bar and Logo Plate Crossmember, which can straighten up your rack. Attach the Utility Seat to the middle of the lower crossmembers. Once adjusted so it fits and slides across, you can retighten the pull-up bar and Logo Plate Crossmember.
If you have a PR-4000 power rack and are connecting the Utility Seat to the rack, Flip-Down Safeties, or ISO Arms, you need the 5/8" Band Pegs.
If you have a PR-4000 power rack and are using the Utility Seat on the Spotter Arms, you need the 1" Band Pegs.
If you have a PR-5000 power rack, you need the 1" Band Pegs, no matter where you attach the Utility Seat.
