Description

The RX3 Tornado Rack is an integrated tornado pivot arm functional trainer and half rack into the smallest freestanding footprint possible. It comes with our patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arms which offers the ability to target every muscle group more effectively. The Tornado Pivot Arms have 4-way adjustability so you can position them outwards for a better stretch during chest flys, inwards towards the middle so the weight is directly beneath you for shoulder shrugs, or directly above you for lat pulldowns. A pair of RX3 J-Cups are included which allow the front uprights to be used as a half rack with your barbell. The RX3 Tornado Smith Machine Rack is made with 3"x3" uprights, 11-gauge steel, and 1" holes with 2" spacing and also offers the ability to add storage shelves and plate sleeves on the back uprights.

TORNADO X KEY FEATURES

Dual 2:1 and 1:1 weight ratios

DUAL 2:1 & 1:1 WEIGHT RATIOS

Switch between 2:1 and 1:1 resistance in seconds to match the way you train. Use 2:1 for smoother movement, longer cable travel, and smaller weight increments, or switch to 1:1 to unlock the full weight stack for heavier strength-focused exercises.

300 lb resistance from a 200 lb stack

300 LB RESISTANCE FROM A 200 LB STACK

Combine the 1:1 and 2:1 pull points to create a 1:1.5 cable ratio and generate up to 300 lb of effective resistance from a single 200 lb stack. Get more resistance for heavy rows, belt squats, presses, and other strength movements without adding more weight to your stack.

True-center line of pull

TRUE-CENTER LINE OF PULL

Tornado X positions the cable directly in line with the center of the upright, creating a balanced and symmetrical line of pull. This centered cable path provides a more natural feel during lat pulldowns, low rows, and other movements where proper alignment matters.

Semi-dedicated lat pull and low row

SEMI-DEDICATED LAT PULL & LOW ROW

Set up lat pulldowns and low rows directly from a single Tornado X Arm and weight stack. Just adjust the trolley height and position the arm toward the center, without connecting both sides or adding extra pulleys.

Self-righting design

SELF-RIGHTING DESIGN

The Tornado X Arm automatically returns to its proper orientation when cable tension is released. This self-righting design helps maintain cable alignment, reduces unwanted twisting, and keeps the arm properly positioned as you move between exercises and angles.

Improved cable tracking and smoothness

IMPROVED CABLE TRACKING & SMOOTHNESS

An updated front-end pulley, swivel shackle, and ultra-flexible cable help keep the cable properly aligned as the Tornado X Arm changes position. The redesigned system reduces unnecessary cable twisting and friction for smoother, more consistent cable travel throughout your training.

RX3 SERIES DESIGN ETHOS


  • HEAVY DUTY STEEL WITH MODULAR DESIGN

    Lift confidently and safely from 3" x 3" 11-gauge steel with 1400+ LB weight capacity. Our fully modular design features offset, 1" holes with 2" spacing on all 4 sides.


  • DURABLE COATINGS AND HARDWARE

    Our 1" hardware is coated with black e-coat which is more resistant to corrosion, more durable, and looks very sleek because who doesn't love black hardware? All attachments and hardware utilize 1" pins at 2" spacing to create a fully modular and extremely versatile rack.


  • EFFICIENT ACCESSORY MOUNTING

    Laser-cut numbering for each of our offset 1" holes with 2" spacing on uprights, cross bars, and accessories such as spotter arms, provides convenience.


  • Attachment Design

    All RX3 attachments are made with a rounded chrome pin making insertion into the uprights easy and frictionless. The rounded chrome pin as well as the uprights will maintain their new appearance, even after years of repeatedly inserting and removing attachments. Other companies use a powder-coated pin that scratches and chips away on both the pin itself as well as the coating on the upright. Further, the inside of all RX3 attachments are lined with protective padding made from durable materials to prevent metal-to-metal contact.


  • HIGH-QUALITY FINISHES & DETAILS

    Chrome uprights where trolleys are used means less wear and scratches to your upright as you adjust the position of the trolley up and down. Our plate sleeves are also chrome with a rubber stopper which eliminates the potential of scratches and chips seen on cheaper, powder-coated plate sleeves. RX3 Sandwich J-Cups feature stainless steel logo plates with an oversized racking area, making it easier for lifters to re-rack their barbell into the intended racking area. All components and attachments were designed in more detail.


  • Exceptional Construction

    Logos are bolted on with stainless steel nameplates on 95% of attachments, while a few are laser-cut. No stickers are used in any of our RX3 designs. Take a look at our Stainless Steel Logo Plate — we've gone the extra mile by laser-cutting triangular designs into the nameplate, further enhancing its standout appearance that is representative of the pinnacle of quality seen on the RX3 Series.


  • In-House Precision Manufacturing

    We've upgraded our manufacturing and the first thing we wanted to offer is the RX3 line. 6-Axis Laser cutting, CNC Lathe, robotic welding, friction welding, hydraulic servo bending, shot blasting, and powder coating all in the same facility for a consistent and high-quality product. We've even brought in a hardware packing machine to blister pack all hardware in-house.


  • Continuing Innovation

    We didn't stop at designing just high quality standard attachments like j-cups and spotter arms; our cable trolley systems are the best in the market. Our RX3 3000 Cable Tower series features dual pulleys on a single column to allow 2:1 or 1:1 weight ratios and our patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arms allow even more functional training capabilities in one unit. Both cable machines also include 2x black, aluminum anodized, knurled handles that are the best standard handles we've seen in the industry. Our product development team meets biweekly to design innovative attachments and solutions for our RX3 series. Stay tuned for more innovative, multifunctional, and high-quality attachments for the RX3 series!

FAQ

Who is this unit for?

The RX3 Tornado Rack is for those that want the smallest freestanding footprint for an integrated tornado pivot arm functional trainer and half rack in one. The perfect centerpiece for your home gym or commercial gym, this rack was designed to give you the most effective training methods. The RX3 Tornado Pivot Arms offer greater versatility and more effective muscle targeting since you can position the handles exactly where you need them. Position outwards at up to 81" apart for greater stretch for chest flys, or angle them inward at shoulder width for deadlifts and shrugs with the weight directly beneath you. Exercises and effectiveness previously impossible with fixed trolleys are now accessible with our Tornado Pivot Arms. Two front posts with included j-cups allow you to rack your barbell for benching and squatting if you do want to train those stabilizer muscles with more freedom of movement.

What is the benefit of Tornado Pivot Arms?

You can position them anywhere. Directly above you for lat pulls, directly below you for deadlift, outwards for greater stretch during chest flys, or close together to join them in order to utilize both 200LB the weight from both sides. The position of the Tornado Pivot Arms allows you to more effectively train your targeted muscle group and you are no longer limited by a fixed trolley on a vertical upright.

What other attachments are available?

This unit is 3" x 3" with 1" holes and 2" spacing, so there's are a wide variety of attachments from us and others available for this specification. We're currently offering free shipping on this unit plus any RX3 accessories or cable attachments you order with it by selecting the $0 cost shipping options. We recommend using the following attachments: Spotter Arms and our Tornado Arm Connector.

For storage options built into the rack, we recommend:
- Up to 8x plate sleeves with 4x Shelf and Plate Sleeve Extension (set)
- Up to 4 total shelves consisting of either 42" ball and plate shelf with extension or 42" kettlebell and dumbbell shelf with extension.

Our design team meets biweekly and are currently working on a broad range of attachments which will be added here as we develop more and more.

Do I need to bolt this into the ground?

The RX3 Tornado Rack does not need to be bolted into the ground, but we always recommend doing so for additional safety and liability.

I'm worried about my ceiling height to fit this rack, can you help?

There's an option to adjust to our shorter, 86" Rack model by checking the box above the Add To Cart button if your ceiling is lower than 94". If your ceiling is greater than 94", we always recommend fitting the tallest rack available that your ceiling can allow. The pull-up bar can be adjusted downwards anywhere along the upright if you want to have more clearance for your head when doing pullups.

What is the Tornado Trolley 2.0?

Tornado Trolley 2.0 is our newest and most refined trolley design, now included standard with all RX3 Tornado Racks. It features 4 built-in rollers per Tornado Arm, a redesigned, tighter-tolerance housing for smoother travel along the uprights, and an updated grooved front roller that improves cable tracking during movement. This grooved roller helps keep the cable aligned more consistently, reducing friction and delivering a smoother, more controlled feel throughout the range of motion. The trolley also includes a protection bracket that prevents the rollers from making contact with rack bolts or crossmembers during adjustments. With the Tornado Trolley 2.0 now included with every new RX3 Tornado Rack, you get the smoothest glide, easiest adjustments, and most premium movement experience available on the Tornado Arms.

What is the « Upgrade to Tornado X Arms » option?

Tornado X Arms are our most versatile Tornado Arm configuration, giving you access to 2:1 and 1:1 weight ratios in a single system — plus the ability to combine both pull points for up to 300 lb of resistance from a 200 lb weight stack. Use 2:1 mode for smoother cable movement, longer cable travel, 5 lb weight increments, and explosive exercises. For heavier movements such as lat pulldowns and low rows above 100 lbs, both arms can be connected together at the center.
Switch to 1:1 mode to unlock the full weight stack for exercises like lat pulldowns, low rows, belt squats, and other heavy pulling movements.

Tornado X allows the 1:1 and 2:1 pull points to be connected together, creating a 1:1.5 cable ratio. With a 200 lb weight stack, this configuration provides up to 300 lb of effective resistance from a single stack, giving you more resistance for heavy rows, belt squats, presses, and other strength-focused movements without increasing the size of your weight stack.

Watch the video to see how it works

The Tornado X upgrade also introduces a True-Center Line of Pull, helping keep movements symmetrical and balanced throughout the entire range of motion. Its updated arm design further improves cable tracking and cable smoothness compared to previous Tornado Arm configurations.

Unlike designs that can freely rotate and cause cable twisting, Tornado X Arms are self-righting, automatically returning to their proper position when the cable is released. This helps maintain smooth operation, improves consistency between reps, and reduces unwanted cable twist during training.
