I spoke with Sam regarding what equipment would be best to outfit my home gym with. He was very knowledgable and gave great advice. His replies were very prompt which meant I got the information I required and I wasn't waiting around (which can't be said for other companies). All of the products he offered were of great value, quality and functionality. Thank you again Rival for going above and beyond.
Brilliant service. Delivered exactly when said. Everything I ordered arrived, I even recieved a phone call from Rival Strength asking which day I preferred it to be delivered which I thought was unbelievable good it showed thought and care from the company.Highly recommend
My shopping experience was really good.
I ordered a folding wall rack, I haven’t installed it yet but I have unboxed it and so far the equipment looks great quality and pretty solid stuff. So much so that I have placed another order for some weight plates.. looking forward to setting up my home gym fully, I most definitely will be returning for other items..
Very high quality product, purchased a single pulley machine highly recommend, staff was extremely helpful in assisting with my inquiries of installation
Rival strength is an absolutely fantastic business, their kit is phenomenal and is perfect for both home and industrial level requirement.
The can’t thank them enough… there was a small issue with the order but they were utterly fantastic with their response and rectification of problem.
Professionalism at its finest…
I give the 10 out of 5…. There that good
Great customer service, Sam was really helpful and replied super quick to a question I had about delivery.
Great products, we love our weight stack!
Would definitely buy from them again.
Knowledgeable, accommodating, responsive and prompt - and a good price...all great qualities of a good supplier - I would highly recommend Rival Strength.

First time using Rival Strength and a bit nervous doing so. But I need not have worried - great service and super quick delivery. They weren’t the cheapest I could have gone with, but had the product that I wanted which others didn’t, and I’m happy with my purchase.

I am leaving this review (which is rare for me) out of sheer appreciation for this companies brilliant products and customer service.
If you are reading this review, its likely because there are an overabundance of options on the internet when looking for home gym equipment. Let me save you the trouble, pick these guys, you wont regret it - trust me.
But, if you are unsure, read through this review (I am not a bot, i promise... lol).
Initially Rival Strength stood out to me because they use 11 gauge steel on their Rack frames (the same as Rogue or REP), have a very well deserved 4.9 rating on trust pilot, with Sam personally responding to alot of the messages, and are reasonably priced to boot. So i took the plunge.
I ordered over £2k worth of equipment, including an S-2 half rack, pulley system, olympic bar, bench, weights, attachments, the whole hog. Now, just for reference, I am ex military and now a Physiotherapist, so naturally I have been a 5-6 day a week gym go-er my entire adult life in dozens of gyms all around the world, so I really know my way around this kind of equipment, and know exactly what I need and what to look for.
I ordered just before the double bank holiday, I was called up by Sam, and told that unfortunately it wouldnt arrive until after the holidays, I was gutted as my brother was visiting that weekend and i wanted to flex on him! I pleaded with Sam, and he said 'leave it with me'. He later called me and told me he could do it before the weekend, but the pad of the bench has a slight scratch on it, but they can replace it later. I agreed. He also said that the pulley system I ordered does not fit the rack I ordered, but he would send me some extra parts to enable me to retrofit it together and make it solid (which it is.) He later followed up after delivery to sort out the pad on my bench and to make sure my pulley system worked out ok.
The pallet arrived, I unpacked it all, and bloody hell... I remember being amazed by the sheer weight and quality of everything, the welds look really clean and each bolt that connects the frame together are almost comically big and heavy - this stuff is no joke. All the attachments, the olympic bar, the bench feel super premium, you would need to really abuse it over the course of many years to render any of it unusable.
I have used the gym everyday since I ordered it, and have had a massive smile on my face for every session, it all works exactly as intended, the frame is more sturdy than my house, and it all looks awesome.
Thanks again to rival strength for making my dream come true, I look forward to inevitably giving you more of my money in the future!

Bought the leg press/hack squat, great bit of kit. I couldn’t decide between this one and the Primal one, but what swayed me in the end was the smaller footprint and the price. Rival had a discount offer on, and could deliver a couple of days after ordering, so went for it and very happy I did. Arrived as scheduled, very well packaged and took just over an hour to assemble on my own. I was slightly worried about depth of range when I first tried the hack squat (I’m 5’11) but moved the footplate up a couple of holes and all good. Can get nice and deep and still have some adjustment left in the plate. My only criticism, and it is a tiny one, would be to add some handles at the bottom to lock yourself in during leg press. It’s a personal thing, which I got over by using a multi grip strap across bottom of machine, gives me something to pull against. I’ll probably look for a decent D handle and bolt a pair somewhere around the bottom or use a hammock strap and dig out a pair of handles I don’t use much anymore and connect with a snap hook. Wouldn’t stop me buying or recommending, and will definitely buy from Rival again. Highly recommend.

Sales team were amazing, helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with.

Equipment is second to none and probably a little over engineered for a home gym but can’t complain about that.
Delivery was swift and arrived well packaged
