Domande frequenti - High Performance Rack

• What is the difference between the Cross Racks and the Calisthenics Racks in the High Performance series?
  The Cross Racks (X1–X3) are designed for functional training and CrossFit environments: they combine Olympic barbell mounts, pull-up bars, rope attachments and rings in a single, high-traffic structure. The Calisthenics Racks (C1–C3), on the other hand, are optimised for advanced bodyweight training — muscle-ups, dips, ring progressions — with bars and grips specifically calibrated for that purpose.
• Can the High Performance packs be expanded or modified after purchase?
  Several models in the range are compatible with components from the High Performance Component range, allowing you to add mounts, bars, cable arms and other accessories to the base structure. Before purchasing, it is advisable to check that your chosen model is compatible with the available add-ons, for example by seeking technical advice from Sidea.
• How much space is needed to install a High Performance series rack?
  It depends on the model. The Cage Rack (M0) and the Push & Pull Rack (M1) have compact dimensions, making them suitable for home gyms and compact studios. The Mega Rack (M5) and the Cross Rack X3 require rooms with at least 15–20 m² of free space and ceilings higher than 3 metres for overhead movements. The Sidea Gym Design service with 3D renderings allows you to check layouts and dimensions before purchasing.
• Can the H.P. Multi Storage and Wall Storage racks be used as a single solution for organising a room?
  Yes, the M6 (Wall Storage), M7 (Multi Storage Rack) and M8 (Standing Rack) models are designed precisely for this purpose: to integrate storage into the gym’s layout rather than relying on makeshift solutions. They can hold discs, barbells, kettlebells and various accessories, freeing up floor space and improving safety during training.
• Which model is best suited to a personal training studio offering semi-private sessions for up to four athletes?
  The Double Station (M3) is the natural choice for training sessions in pairs with parallel programmes. For groups of up to four athletes performing different exercises, the Multi-Functional Rack (M2) or the Bridge Rack (M4) offer multiple work stations without taking up too much space. The choice also depends on the type of exercises that feature most prominently in the trainer’s programme.
• Are High Performance racks also suitable for Olympic weightlifting, or just for functional training?
  The M-series models with a cage or enclosed structure — in particular the Cage Rack M0 and the Multi Functional M2 — are suitable for squats, presses and strength exercises using an Olympic barbell. The Cross Racks also support Olympic training in shared spaces. For a dedicated weightlifting station with a platform, Sidea also offers specific solutions in the Weightlifting category.
