Racks Platforms Equipment Dimensions & Clearance

A rack is the most space-hungry item on most gym floors once clearance is counted. It needs spotter access on both sides, bar travel in front, and a platform that no walkway crosses. Get racks placed before anything else, because everything else can move around them.
