Workshop 19/50 Training Rack 2.3m and Campus Board for Rock Climbing and Bouldering Review (2026)

What this bundle includes

This listing pairs the Workshop 19/50 Training Rack, a freestanding 2.3m frame, with a campus board add-on and a hangboard panel, so the buyer gets a complete training structure rather than a bare frame. The rack itself measures 2.3m tall, 1.0m wide and 1.0m deep, with a front panel of 100 by 45cm. It is built from waterproof birch plywood and weighs around 30kg, which is heavy enough to stay stable during pull-ups and hangs without needing to be bolted to a wall, though the size means it needs a dedicated spot to live rather than folding away between sessions.

Design and mounting system

The front and rear panels use a grid of T-nuts, which the brand says fits most commercially available fingerboards and climbing holds, so the campus board and hangboard panel included here are not the only things you can attach over time. A removable gusset plate opens up rear access points for attaching ropes or counterweights, useful for assisted pull-ups or resistance training beyond straight hangs. Extra pulleys front and rear support counterweight systems, which is a feature aimed at climbers doing structured strength work rather than casual dead hangs on a single board, and the modular layout means the setup can grow as training needs change.

Fit for a home gym

This is a large piece of equipment. At 2.3m tall and a meter square at the base, it needs real floor space and ceiling height, closer to a garage or dedicated training room than a spare corner of an apartment. The site's own cons flag this directly, and it holds up against what the brand publishes about the rack's footprint and weight. For anyone without that kind of space, a wall mounted hangboard or a smaller standalone rung set is a more realistic option than this full rack and campus board combination, which needs its own dedicated floor area to stand safely.

Value versus simpler options

Compared with buying campus rungs or a hangboard on their own, this bundle costs considerably more, since you are paying for the frame, the campus board module and the hangboard panel together rather than a single training tool. That is a reasonable trade for climbers who want one station that can be reconfigured over time, since the T-nut grid supports swapping in different holds or fingerboards later without buying a second structure. Climbers who already have a doorway or wall mounted hangboard and only want to add campus training may find a simpler rung set or smaller board a better value for their space and budget.

Who should buy this

This rack suits climbers building a serious home training space who want campus boarding, hangboard work and pull-up training in one freestanding structure, especially where wall mounting is not an option in a rented home or apartment. It is less suited to anyone short on space or budget, or climbers who only want to add one training tool to an existing setup. Given the site's own score reflecting strong fit for structured training against a lower value rating, this is best seen as an investment piece for a dedicated training area rather than a first purchase for a casual home gym.
