EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH!!

I had a lot of questions while planning my home gym, and Pat at Bridge Built took the time to guide me through every step. The advice was expert-level, the design ideas were innovative, the service was professional, and the price was fair. I couldn’t be happier with the final result.

I’m very glad I chose Bridge Built. Highly recommended — 5+ stars.

READ THIS. Real and honest review of Bridge Built…

The quality and innovation of this equipment is absolutely incredible and will last forever. When you get a piece of equipment in your hands from this company… you’ll see/feel the difference.

The welds, materials, powder coat, and engineering that goes into the final product WILL enhance your lifting experience and dramatically improve the “wow factor” of your commercial/home gym. My Phoenix Squat Rack is overbuilt, sturdy, and gets a ton of love/attention when people see it in my space.

I’ve never had a bad customer service experience with anyone in the company. Questions, concerns or part assistance… immediately assisted with a great attitude and timeliness.

Can’t wait to add more Bridge Built equipment to my training arsenal; highly recommend it to anyone considering! Simply PREMIUM. ⚒️💎

Once again so happy with my Bridge Built order. I had a custom rack made and they definitely delivered! They answered all of my questions & had great suggestions. This was an upgrade so now my Phoenix rack, which I still LOVE, will become my rack for outside workouts or to use to create multiple stations. In the interim time, it folds so compactly that it’s easy to store.
If you’re thinking of purchasing anything from Bridge, do it!

My Omni-Pulley System was a birthday gift from my wife, it is one of the greatest gifts ever. The system easily attached to my infinity rack and has been going strong ever since. It is a great product.

You want well made equipment made in the USA by hard working Americans. Want customized options, colors, etc?

Patrick will hook it up, Willy will make it, and you'll be happy with it.

I did have to add a few layers of UMHW in order to make it fit my Rep rack and custom paint it, but it was worth the wait. Being able to center my bar after loading, and then locking it into place by rolling it forward is brilliant!

I ordered a 7ft Phoenix rack in BRIDGE bronze, and so far, I couldn't be happier with my choice. The craftsmanship of the rack is exceptional. It's built like a tank, and I can't imagine I could load enough weight to where I would second guess the stability of the equipment. Assembly is very straightforward, with a video to aid your efforts. 10/10 would recommend this equipment to any lifter, from novice to pro.

Overall, I am also pleased with the customer service I received from Bridge Built. If you purchase from them and are the type to anxiously await your order, I would recommend establishing a line of communication with customer service early on. Their website lists the potential wait/lead time on products, and I would expect all customized orders to take the max time as my experience was. Keep in mind this is a smaller company with a growing demand for their product, so the responsibility of order tracking/updates may fall equally on both consumer and BB.

Two things I have always hated about specialty bars is trying to store them and taking them out of traditional bar holders. The BridgeBuilt Barbell Stable has changed that. With this product we are able to store more specialty bars than before, and they are easy to get in and out as well. The product is well built and looks great!

We ordered a dip attachment for our phoenix rack in the first week of October 2023. We were told 6 weeks to delivery originally, putting us mid November. After thanksgiving I emailed them and asked for an update, they stated December for the delivery. I have now sent an email multiple times in 2024 as I still don’t have the product I paid for. This is absolutely unacceptable, I would not recommend this company in the future.

It came today, can't believe what a wonderful product you guys built. It's literally insane and nothing like it on the planet!

In commercial gym they had racks with metal no protective plastic so bar easily was adjusted but also all bars lost their knurling. Home gyms all have protection of expensive barbells but you can't slide the bar a mm and constantly have to lift with bar off center. It's annoyed the hell out of me every single time.

You solved this problem, looks like ART, performs like a one of a kind $20 million Ferarri and will make lifting a joy and came same week. Insane customer support as well.

My custom Phoenix Squat Rack is not only a "BEAST" and BUILT like a Mack Truck, but it's made entirely here in the USA as well! That's definitely a win-win in my book! This phenomenal custom rack is the "lifeblood" of my basement gym along with becoming my prized possession amongst every other piece of training equipment I own! It vastly exceeded my expectations and is BUILT to last a lifetime and beyond! Due to the extensive list of my custom requests, my order was delayed, and understandably so. Even though my rack took quite a bit longer to arrive, I cannot emphasize strongly enough how, when all is said and done, it was well worth waiting for! From start-to-finish Patryk and his team truly went above and beyond to accommodate every single one of my many inquiries. We corresponded on numerous occasions and he was always extremely helpful, gracious, highly professional, and always quick to respond. I cannot recommend Bridge Built enough! This company is EXTRAORDINARY! In my honest opinion, Patryk is a true innovator who has been designing, manufacturing, and selling some of the best strength training and conditioning equipment on the planet for over ten years now! He not only exudes an intense passion for what he does, but his brilliance, expertise, and attention to detail are to be commended! For all these reasons, and more, he and his entire staff have earned my utmost respect, admiration, and gratitude, most definitely! Bridge Built can consider me a customer for life! Plus, I need to mention that my newly acquired complete upper and lower Omni-Pulley System is such an AMAZING multi-functional attachment! It pairs brilliantly with my PHENOMENAL custom Phoenix Squat Rack. The "marriage" of the two is mind blowing, to say the least! The addition of this incredibly versatile and unbelievably smooth cable apparatus to my strength training arsenal has been a game changer for me, most definitely! I absolutely love it! Due to developing some major compression issues in my left elbow, I needed something that would help alleviate the severe pain I'd been experiencing lately with some of my exercises. This attachment helped solve that challenge for me. I've always been strongly motivated to train... I absolutely LOVE to lift - always have and always will!! Though recently, I needed a change that would help boost my training enthusiasm up a few notches. Hence, that's where your Omni-Pulley System delivered - BIG TIME!! And, approaching 70-years young with 54 years in the training trenches speaks volumes. Nuff said! THANK YOU Patryk, keep up the outstanding job you've been doing! I wish you, Bridge Built, and your entire team an abundance of continued success! Stay STRONG!

We began our business in 2020 and have trusted Bridge Built with the majority of our weights, and building our custom rig. Over three years, the innovative equipment has held up just as promised - and still looks as good as new. They continue to innovate to make better, more usable, and more versatile equipment and are second to none in our books.

TLDR: bridge is quality, was worth my time & money. Convenience and safety of products have contributed to results i didn’t think were possible

Pat & Bridge are awesome. They say buy once, only cry once when you buy quality. Well those tears will be tears of joy when you see and use your bridge rack forever!

Situation: wanted to move towards barbells after having success with heavy dumbell & hiit work. Only option was a garage gym with TIGHT ceilings and narrow width. 10’ wide, 10’ length and 7’ height. Wanted a safe and effective barbell set up in that footprint and also allow floor/HIIT work. Yes, impossible sounding task.

Problem: Squat stands arent safe + no pull ups or dips, wall mounted racks were too tall or lacked safety performance (i lift alone)

Solution: bridge phx rack + cast iron plates + rogue c70s bar + rubber floor tiles + bridge phx bench

What I like:
- sturdy build which meets all advertised specs
- quality powder and gloss coatings which are almost perfectly done
- color options are unique
- when folded, footprint is nill and bench is especially easy to store
- j cups don’t scratch bar
- safety straps are well build and strong (should also consider selling a suspension strap option)
- plenty of room inside rack for barbell and bodyweight work
- width fits all standard width power bars like c70s (which is shorter in overall length and made my home gym possible)
- innovative pull-up bar which has so many grip options (normal grip, fat grip, neutral wide, neutral close, neutral medium [one hand wide & one close])
- sturdy bench that folds flat and stores easily
- wheels for bench and rack make maneuvering easy
- easy to attach dip station which you just need to set up *inside* the phx rack and ends up being really sturdy that way
- Pat and team are always willing to talk, troubleshoot and back their products up with quality support / service / warranty. Bridge has innovative, quality minded approach and treats people well.
- i am confident Bridge will support my ability to upgrade to a taller rack and color match my selected coat colors in the future (also the ability to add a pulley system one day is mind blowing)
- worth the wait, even if it was still long which it isnt anymore, and you get the value from bridge that you pay for
- hand written notes & bridge stickers for my kiddo

What i am happy to live with:
- the power rack (as opposed to the squat rack) is a quite heavy to fold up. Then again, if it was too light and flimsy so this is probably unavoidable. Folding is doable with one person but its way faster with two. If i needed to fold it weekly i would opt for squat rack instead of power rack. My bro in law has the squat rack and its beefy and safe and any of us can fold it like nothing.
- not enough set up guidance although its not that hard to set up if you are handy
- requires large wrenches to set up
- slow lead times but this was more than a year ago (my bro in law got his in march 2023 in just a handful of weeks)
- would like dip station to have more narrow width for smaller frames like my wife

Program: 6 months on starting strength / 5x5s style routine (and eating + resting program <- consistent workout is at most half the battle). Gained muscle and bodyweight for first time ever. Highly recommend

I am very happy and the quality is so obvious that my sister and brother in law bought one within months of trying my rack and seeing the results

The support staff at Bridge Built is second to none. I have always felt like a VIP from the moment I place an order till it arrives, no matter how small. This amount of care for providing a first-rate client experience is unmatched by any other company I've purchased equipment. Because of their commitment to innovation and a steady stream of compelling new products, Bridge Built is a company to keep an eye on.

I have been impressed with how well this equipment is made from Bridge. Every detail has been looked into and crafted intentionally. I love what this company stands for and the product that is put out. I think everyone should have Bridge Equipment in some capacity where they train - Home, Garage, Training Facility, etc. Go check them out!

There are a lot of companies offering gym equipment but few, if any, offer the level of customer service the Patryk and crew offer at Bridge Built. I personally have several pieces from them and have used many others and I can confidently say that I’ve never been disappointed. On point I especially appreciate is their attention to detail in finishes and design. A++++ work from an American Patriot owned company that focuses on quality over quantity!

If you are looking to start your personal home gym (or garage gym) experience, PLEASE LOOK NO FARTHER. Bridge built in by far the highest quality (imo like or better than the top name brands in the industry) and their attention to detail with the products, services and personal connection is top tier.

I bought the Phoenix rack over a year ago for building my first garage gym. I've been a repeat customer for additional rack equipment due to the fact it's quality and durability is high. The only problem I've ever had was the lead times are a bit long for arrival of your equipment but that's due to the high attention to detail and quality of their products to be perfect for your arrival day.

Bridge built baby! 👊🏻💯

Easily one of the best companies I’ve dealt with. Patryk and the Bridgebuilt team are top notch and second to none. The communication and feedback was amazing and the craftsmanship was amazing. Have the Phoenix Rack, dip bar, pull-up bar and beefy wheels and everything far exceeded any expectations. Not many places over deliver and their products all did. If you are looking for a rack, use Bridgebuilt. You won’t regret it.

My favorite gym equipment shop! Patryk and his crew are great to work with. The gear is always beefy, innovative, and beautiful. Feels really good supporting a company that I believe in, and also cool that they're local to me in Cincinnati! Whenever I go to pick up my gear, we geek out over ideas for new equipment - it's a lot of fun!

One of the best decisions we made as a CrossFit Affiliate expanding in to a new facility has been to outfit it with a rig from Bridge Built. The team worked with us to create a custom designed rig that has been the focal point of our gym and has help up perfectly to the demands of classes and competitions. We are so happy we made the decision to go with Bridge Built!

Rack ordered 9/2021 and finally delivered 12/2022 after multiple promises not fulfilled and me having to ask for a refund to finally get it. 15 months. Lead time per invoice 6-8 weeks but Bridge Built said they would be in my city so they would deliver. Thus I gave grace after grace after re-schedule after re-schedule. Never came. After asking for a refund they shipped it.

I typically would not write a review but I ended up hearing multiple experiences like this have happened from other home gym owners. I just wanted to call awareness that this may happen to you.

Patryk and company are great patriots and they make an AMAZING product. I pray they crush it in the business but after hearing multiple users experienced this, I wanted to share mine.

Look - it's a risk probably worth taking. I can safely say you won't get more attention to detail or love from Patryk and gang. I just want to be clear on what happened because to some that may be 15 months without gym equipment. Life is a little too short for that.

(Edit #2 : Re-re-posted as, as of November 2022 order has still not been shipped !! and we would still be waiting for news if we do not demand some info ... do NOT trust this equipment supplier, as nice and serious as they are upon ordering)

(Edit : Re-reposted as was somehow deleted since first posting a few months ago, we are still waiting for some info regarding our outstanding order, even though we were asked to remove our comment by owner !)

NON-EXISTENT SERVICE AND COMMUNICATION !!! Order confirmed/paid on May 20th 2021, and we are still waiting to receive it. No info from customer service if we do not contact them. A lot of excuses, each time different, and since nearly 2 months no news despite our emails, voicemails and messages on social networks. Business to avoid at all costs, at least if you want to avoid to go to court for sports equipment.

We ordered a custom turf for our gym facility and it is beautiful! The installers worked to make this a great fit into the existing rubber flooring and their follow up on longevity of the install is amazing. It is a real show stopper when you walk into our facility from any of the entrances to our building. It is used all day, every day, by our fitness clients, kids classes, physical therapy clients, etc for all sorts of movement and exercise.

Best equipment around. I’ve bought multiple pieces from Bridge Built and couldn’t be happier. I purchased a custom storage rack last year; it was exactly what I was looking for. The versatility of it got all my weights, KBs etc off the floor and stored. I was so impressed with Bridge, I purchased a Phoenix rack a few months ago. It’s solid as can be, a huge space saver and looks great. 10/10 for all.

I am extremely pleased with my Phoenix squat rack! While unboxing and assembling the rack I appreciated the feel of the steel, the clean laser cuts, and the quality of the coating material. The rack was easy for me to assemble and is sturdy. I also ordered the pull up bar at the same time as the rack to have an additional cross support at the top for extra security and usability. I really like the design of the pull up bar as it hugs the rack with welded steel and a hitch pin and doesn’t need tools to put on and take off. The spotter arms have the same top quality finish as the rack, and they are rock solid. They also have the same nice clear coat protective surface as the J hooks. Another big plus for me was that the rack has enough room to allow for my bench to be inclined and fit comfortably while still racking on the J hooks. The rubber feet and basic wheel kit are great as well. I’m glad I ordered them with the rack as it is easier to install them during initial assembly. I am also happy with how easy It is for me to fold the rack up if I need to free up the space quickly!

Having great equipment is only half of it. I am equally impressed with Bridge Built’s customer service. I ordered the rack during a known supply chain issue and as a result the ship times were longer than anyone wanted. I appreciated that this was communicated at the time of my order. When I reached out to receive an update on my order, I received an almost instant reply. In fact, Patryck was also prompt and positive to interact with even before placing my order.

I am insanely glad I went with Bridge Built! The equipment is second to none and the customer service is great!

(I am hyped for the dip station and landmine attachment to arrive and will hopefully remember to update the review.)

I currently own a squat track, J cups, and the pull-up attachment and have truly enjoyed the craftsmanship on these materials. It was easy to put together and is as sturdy as could be. I also recently ordered the landmine attachment and the dip bar. There was a mix up on my end with the order initially so I called and spoke with Patryk over the phone. He updated my order details while I was on the phone with him and got me squared away. Just keep in mind that there are supply chain issues still that we all have to deal with. It's worth the wait.

It’s been about a year since I purchased my Phoenix Rack from Bridge Built. It was easy to put together, stable as a rock, and high quality.

Since then I have additionally purchased the pull-up bar add-on, and band pegs.

While I was initially frustrated at delays longer than expected over shipping, this was in the middle of lockdown and all fitness equipment manufacturers everywhere were experiencing difficulties.

The Bridge Built team was always responsive to my emails asking for updates.

I’m looking forward to supporting Bridge Built in the future.

I drove 6 hours round trip to pickup a product built by Bridge Built and let me start off by saying it was WELL WORTH THE TRIP! Everyone there was very welcoming and the business owner is incredibly inspiring. I go out of my way whenever possible to support local business (even if it isnt local for me personally). These guys are doing awesome work and I would 100% recommend purchasing from Bridge Built if you're looking for any sort of custom built gym equipment. I'm very impressed with the quality and care that goes into all of their products. Keep up the great work! 💪😎

Pat has custom designed, built, and installed our rigs at both of our gyms and we could not be happier! His attention to detail, his eye for effectively organizing and maximizing gym space is found nowhere else!!! Additionally, the quality of steel and parts he uses for all of his equipment absolutely blows any other gym equipment company out of the water!

If you’re looking for the top equipment for your gym, Bridge Built is hands-down the place for you. The customer service is like no other!
