Wall Mounted CrossFit Rig Model 1A, 735 by 237 cm for Classes of 8 to 12 Athletes

Model 1A is a wall mounted CrossFit rig of 735 by 237 cm, the largest standard wall structure in the catalogue and the one that serves a class of 8 to 12 athletes at the lowest price in the range. It exists for one situation: a facility with a concrete load bearing wall of at least 7.50 m that wants a full length rig without paying for a freestanding frame to stabilise itself.

The depth is what makes the difference in use. At 237 cm the working area accommodates an olympic bar comfortably, which means heavy squats, cleans, jerks and bench pressing can be performed without the athlete feeling boxed in. The other standard wall models offer 118 cm and 160 cm of depth and are noticeably more constrained on those movements. Total floor area occupied is 17.4 square metres.

Against the equivalent freestanding rig of the same 7.35 m length, the wall mounted version costs considerably less and is more stable, because it is braced by the wall as well as by the floor. The trade-offs are equally clear: it can only stand against the wall, and it requires a concrete load bearing wall of 7.50 m or more. Where that wall exists, it is the most economical way to reach class capacity. Where it does not, a freestanding structure is the alternative.

Technical specification

Choosing between a wall rig and a freestanding one

The decision comes down to the building, not the training. A concrete load bearing wall of 7.50 m or more makes the wall mounted rig the correct answer: lower cost, greater stability, and more depth than the equivalent freestanding structure. Cladding, partition walls and steel frame buildings without a suitable concrete wall rule it out entirely, and the freestanding models take over. The other point to settle early is the floor: the rig is fixed into the slab as well as the wall, so the slab construction and thickness should be confirmed before ordering. If your available wall is shorter than 7.50 m, the shorter standard wall models of 430 cm may fit, or a made to measure structure can be drawn to the space. Send us the wall length, the slab detail and your class size and we will confirm the right model free of charge.

Frequently asked questions

What wall do I need?

A concrete load bearing wall of at least 7.50 m. Partition or cladding walls cannot take the loads a rig transmits, and in those buildings a freestanding structure is the alternative.

Why is depth worth paying for?

237 cm gives room to work with an olympic bar without restriction, which is what makes heavy squatting, olympic lifting and bench pressing comfortable at the rig rather than cramped.

How many athletes can train at once?

8 to 12 on a 735 cm rig. If your classes run larger than that, tell us at enquiry stage and we will size the structure to the class rather than the room.
