Gym Rigs for CrossFit Boxes — What You Need to Know

A CrossFit rig faces some of the most demanding conditions of any gym equipment. Multiple athletes simultaneously kipping, performing muscle-ups and bar muscle-ups, loading and unloading barbells — the dynamic forces involved are significant. A rig that is not structurally designed for these loads will flex, move or fail.

Every Gymstor CrossFit rig is structurally designed for simultaneous multi-athlete use, with connections and floor fixings specified for the actual dynamic loads involved — not just the static weight of the athletes.

For a CrossFit box, maximising the number of training stations in the available space is critical to class capacity and revenue. Gymstor designs rigs to maximise pull-up stations, barbell bays and functional training zones within the specific dimensions of each facility.

We typically achieve 1 pull-up station per 1.2-1.5 metres of rig length on a double-sided free-standing rig — significantly more than standard off-the-shelf rig systems.

Facilities that host sanctioned CrossFit competitions or functional fitness events need rigs that meet competition specifications. Gymstor can design and build rigs to CrossFit competition standards, including the correct bar heights, spacing and structural ratings required for sanctioned events.

All Gymstor rigs are manufactured in the UK and installed by our own teams. No imported flat-pack systems, no subcontracted installation. A single point of accountability from design through to load-tested handover. Call 0800 654 6955 or use the enquiry form for a free design consultation.
