Those with colored racks?

[kevin3636]

Any regrets? I'm getting ready to purchase my "forever" rack and am looking at different colors and having a hard time committing to a specific color or color combo. I'm looking at sorinex and rogue. Just sold my rogue half rack. Rogue will paint accessories (jcups, spotters, etc) for $150. Was just curious if anyone regretted it and wish to they would have stuck with black?
Thanks.

I don't regret it, but I wish I would've got a color a bit less common. I went with Rogue Red, and it looks pretty dang sweet, but it just seems like a ton of people have red Rogue racks. It's not a big deal, I still like it a lot, but maybe wish I would've done blue or dark blue. I liked their bright green too (was my #2 choice), but didn't think I could handle that for too long.. it felt like a midlife crisis color or something.. lol. I also think white looks pretty sweet.

On the accessories, I don't think I'd want EVERY piece colored. I like the black contrast on the parts, personally.

Good luck deciding! Overall, I wouldn't worry too much about what other people have. Buy what YOU like and what you can see yourself still liking in 5-10 years down the road...

I don't think I'll ever choose a non-white rack, if I had the option

I like black and blue. I'm probably an outlier on the blue, and I like the contrast with the black.

If I was going new, I'd probably get something like:

I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the standard colors (black, blue, white, red). They all look great, IMO.

I went black with blue accents (spotters, cross members, etc.)

[Deep-Voiced-One]

I went with a flat black for the uprights and sky gray/silver for the crossmembers attaching the uprights and have absolutely no regrets, it still looks as good as when I first got it.

The sky gray/silver is more of a flat color rather than a gloss so that could explain why it's a bit less prone to visible imperfections from use, I'll post a pic of the color combo later on.

I have blue as my primary and yellow as my secondary; still happy with it. It's an older picture but still looks the same although my garage is currently a mess and I've added a number of things, specifically a horizontal bar holder on the wall.

Choose wisely, choose anything other than white, and go Legendary.

The Color Red Makes You Stronger, But More Distractable

A new study claims that red improves and strengthens muscle reactions

[gym62richard]

Black primary with Red secondary for me, but it Was a tough choice, Legend had so many colours to choose from.

[kevin3636]

Thanks for all the replies and the pictures! I've been combing through Instagram trying to find different color combos. Keep them coming.

Atty, why do you not like white?

[aloosecannon]

My rack and bench are blue and black. I wouldn't mind a brighter shade of blue but I have no regrets about not having an all black set up.

[1651Naismith]

I went red & black as the main colors and did the uprights in zinc. Don't forget to think about your bench and your weight choice (assuming you have storage on the rack).

[urbanlifter]

I would go with something safe (black/gunmetal), then color your walls/floor with the desired theme because they are easier to re-paint if you decide to go in a different direction later. Not responding for Atty, but white is incredibly BORING/dated looking to me personally. (like numerous here my gym is red/black mostly)

It’s plain, it’s boring, it’s an institutional color. Be bold.

But few here are strong enough to go with purple...

This pic doesn't do it justice:

Great point. It will be a 6 post rack most likely. I currently have the Rogue 6 shooters (Grey) and the ab-2 bench.

I must admit I was NOT a fan of your color selection at first, but the purple has really grown on me. Not enough for me to re-paint my gym, but we painted my daughter's bedroom the same Sophia Princess Purple and it looks really nice . If I ever change I think I'll go with a gray/green color like the Legend benches I had for a stretch.

Choose wisely, choose anything other than white, and go Legendary.

I thought you had the other model lat pulldown with the seated row, not floor row

That's an awesome color combo.
