CrossFit cage, rack and rig manufacturer

Introduction

CrossFit is a demanding discipline and it requires high-quality equipment if training is to be both effective and safe. Cages, racks and rigs are the load-bearing core of any box or cross-training zone, and the single purchase that determines how many athletes the room can hold. Light In Fitness manufactures this equipment for commercial operators: robust, versatile structures specified for every level of practice, from a municipal facility to a competition box.

CrossFit cages

Why the cage is the centre of the room

A CrossFit cage is the central element of a training space. It allows a wide range of exercises to be performed on one structure, pull-ups, squats and weightlifting among them. Its strength and its stability are what keep users safe, which is why this is the wrong place on a floor plan to economise.

What our cages are built to do

Light In Fitness cages are designed to withstand intensive use. They are manufactured from high-quality materials that deliver exceptional durability under a commercial duty cycle. They are also modular, so the configuration can be adjusted to the specific requirements of the training programme rather than the programme being adjusted to the equipment.

Installation and maintenance

Installation of a CrossFit cage must be carried out by professionals to guarantee its stability and its safety. Anchoring, floor build-up and clearance envelopes all have to be right before the first athlete uses it. On maintenance, the rule is simple: check the fixings regularly and clean the surfaces, and the structure will last far longer than an unmaintained one.

CrossFit racks

Cage or rack: what actually differs

Although the two are similar, cages and racks serve slightly different purposes. A rack is generally more compact and is used for exercises such as squats and weightlifting, while a cage offers a wider range of exercises and configurations. For a floor plan, the practical question is how many athletes must work simultaneously: a rack serves one or two, a cage serves a class.

The case for a rack

Light In Fitness racks are known for their strength and their adaptability. They suit constrained spaces while still offering a variety of exercise options, and their ergonomic design makes them comfortable and safe in use. Our CrossFit rigs and racks range covers the full span from a single station to a multi-bay structure.

Customisation options

Racks can be configured with added accessories such as pull-up bars, barbell supports and integrated storage. That is what turns a rack into a training station tailored to a specific programme rather than a generic frame.

CrossFit rigs and structures

What a rig is

A CrossFit rig is a combination of cages and racks that creates a genuinely versatile training space. It suits gyms, fitness studios and any commercial facility that needs to maximise the training capacity of a given floor area.

Modular structures

Modular structures offer flexibility that a fixed frame cannot. They can be configured to the specific needs of the operator, whatever the size of the commercial floor, and the modules can be added to or rearranged over time, which gives the installation genuine long-term scalability. Where floor area is tight, wall-mounted rigs recover the space a freestanding structure would take; where the room allows work on both faces, freestanding rigs roughly double the number of simultaneous athletes for the same length of structure.

Why bespoke structures pay

Custom structures make optimal use of the available space and meet the specific demands of the training programme being delivered. We work with clients to design tailored solutions, so that every detail, from bay spacing to accessory placement, is accounted for in the interest of throughput and performance.

Indoor equipment for a supervised facility open to the public must be built to EN ISO 20957-1 class S.

Frequently asked questions

What materials are the cages made from?

High-quality steel, which is what delivers the durability and strength a commercial installation needs.

What is the main difference between a cage and a rack?

A cage offers a wider range of exercises and configurations, while a rack is generally more compact and used for specific exercises such as squats.

Can a structure be customised?

Yes. Configuration options let a structure be adapted to the specific needs of the facility and the programme it has to support.

How should a cage be maintained?

Check the fixings regularly and clean the surfaces. That routine is what extends the service life of the equipment.

Who should install the structure?

Installation should be carried out by professionals, since stability and safety depend on correct anchoring and assembly.

What accessories can be added to a rack?

Pull-up bars, barbell supports and integrated storage, among others.
