The rack
The TOTUM Power Rack
The plan of a serious home gym has a centre. Ours is a modular, commercial-grade rack from Doer Fitness: 250+ exercises and 9 machines in one structure.
Why one structure
A home has less floor than a commercial gym and more reasons to keep it clear. Concentrating strength, cable and bodyweight work in one frame gives the rest of the room back to movement, and to the eye.
Why the steel matters
The frame is 11-gauge steel, 3 mm thick, in a 3 × 3 inch profile. Together with a mass of about 600 kg, that is what keeps the structure still when a loaded bar is returned to it.
What it asks of the room
A level slab that can carry the load, 2 m of width reserved for the structure, about 3 m of clear width once a barbell is on it, and a 20 mm rubber floor beneath. The planner checks the first two against your measurements.

What is the TOTUM made of?
11-gauge steel with a 3 mm wall, in a 3 × 3 inch upright profile.

About 600 kg. Confirm that the slab can carry it, especially on an upper floor.
The studio
Every room starts with a conversation about the room.
Bring the measurements, the ceiling height and what you want to train. The Doer Fitness team turns them into a layout before a single piece of equipment is chosen.
