Prime Fitness Adjustable Stability Pad Review: The Power Rack Attachment You Didn’t Know You Needed

The Prime Fitness Prodigy adjustable stability pad is a really unique power rack attachment that allows you to have an off the rack adjustable height and adjustable angle support pad for a variety of and essentially endless amount of movements. This attachment is made for three by three racks and has a bunch of simple but effective adjustments allowing for a change in length, angles, axis, pad orientation and more.

It has nine different pad angles, 12 different length adjustments and 11 different width adjustments. This is definitely one of those attachments you have to see in action to see all the intricacies and even just scratch the surface of some of the creative ways you can use these in your training. So let's check it out.

Hey guys, this is Michael with the Jungle Gym Reviews. Today we're viewing the Prime Fitness stability pad attachment. I have it shown here on my three by three rack. This is a three by three rack attachment and first and foremost, it's for both imperial racks including the Prime Prodigy, which is Prime Fitness's three by three series. But as shown here and I've tried it on a variety of other racks, it works on metrics three by three racks as well. So things like rep, Titan, GetRxd and even iron Bull strength.

I can confirm this works pretty much on any three by three rack. This is a really unique attachment. You'll see a ton of different angles that I'll go over basically anywhere. There's a knob here, here and here. There are adjustments, but before I get into the video, if you could quickly hit that subscribe button below if you haven't already, it's going to continue to help us grow the channel and make sure you get notified when we post both of our weekly reviews throughout the rest of 2025.

If you're interested in checking this out at the review, please check out the affiliate link in the description below. So stability pad is basically a handful of adjustments. So this is the pad adjustments. There are nine different pad adjustments that you can lock each of these.

These are little pot pins. So you can adjust the angle right now. I'll say the pad is oriented horizontally. You can take it out, turn it to mount vertically as well. And then now those angles are a vertical adjustment rather than a horizontal angle.

So same amount with that pop pin mechanism. You might wonder, well, why do you want to do this? Hopefully I'll have a few creative ways and talk about a few creative ways that I've used this.

But essentially, it's a pad that can support you, your chest, your back, your legs, literally whatever you want to use it for creatively on the rack. I think this is more geared towards things like cable systems, which we'll show here in a second how you use this with some of the cable systems, especially the prime systems that have some of the high pulley cables. But if you have a cable system at home, it doesn't matter what it is, even something plate loaded, as long as you have like a high or potentially even low pulling point, you'll quickly get an idea of just how kind of creative you can be with this. You can adjust the length of this.

I think the max length is 49 inches. So with this pop pin, you can adjust the tube in 12 different length settings. So one through 12. And as I said, it rotates. So you can take this out, do this way, same thing, 12 length adjustments that way.

And at the shortest, if you push this all the way in, you have about 38 inches of length. I'm going to put this back in the vertical setting for now, somewhere around here. So this adjusts, depending on horizontal or vertical angle, this adjusts in and out. And then this is the, if you want to call it lateral angle adjustment.

So this is kind of how some of the real magic happens, depending on how you have it oriented mounted on your rack. I'm going to give you a couple ideas here is now this just went from, let's say a five degree angle facing that way, all the way out to here, depending on how exactly you want to get this configured, you could do something off the rack with a pair of dumbbells, like some sort of, you know, full range of motion, kind of equivalent to like a inclined bench curl, you do something like that. I also like doing things like lateral raise, where I get to lean a bit more over, kind of take my stability of my torso out of it, hence the name stability pad, be able to do some lateral raises where I can kind of isolate and focus on my arms and shoulders a little bit more rather than standing here, bracing my core. So really what this pad is, is just an all in one kind of attachment that you can kind of figure what movements you'd like to do on here, how you'd like to stabilize, literally the name stability pad, whatever it is you're doing. When you have a cable system, let's say you grab something like a tricep rope, this is where you can do things like I like to do, you can do, I know, as weird as it sounds, you can do a tricep push down where you're again kind of leaning down throughout the movement is something like that. Again, when your torso is supported in all this, it definitely changes the feel of the movement and then depending on how you actually change the angle, maybe logically, wildly also changes.

So this is kind of akin to a standing overhead tricep extension, but because my back and core is supported, it feels really, really good. These are just some of the ways that like I have found that I personally like to use it, but you can just, you know, with a rack mounted cable system, again, whether it's something like this, like a Vultra or an Aries or GitterX Tornado, anything, it doesn't really matter. Their Prodigy Rack, as long as you have some sort of cable system, you can get just absolutely creative with this attachment. So that's where this attachment really shines are cable systems.

If you want to flip the pad, let's say to the horizontal position, I don't really do this style of training, but something like this, you know, you can do some sort of like rotational stability drills. I don't like that. Let's just quickly adjust it a little bit longer. And that's what's cool about this attachment. It's just super easy to use. And there's not really a big learning curve as far as trying to figure out how exactly all the angles and everything works. Although yes, there are quite a bit of angles and you might have to figure out, okay, do you want to in line with your upright? Do you want to change the angle? So it's, you know, inside and then change the pad here.

It's really just up to you. And I think especially for small gyms, just like some of our last video was talking about lever arms, I think this is another very useful tool because there's not anything quite like it as far as like a bench or anything goes or a dedicated rack attachment that this pretty much can't do. So with that being said though, it does take up quite a bit of space, but the price is very fair for what you get. So I think it's $4.95 for this attachment. To me, I think it's very worth the price to the right individual.

This is definitely not for everyone and for a handful of reasons. One, you actually have to sit there and think about all the different angles and kind of figure out, well, what do you want to do today and how do I need this? And, you know, do I really need to have my core supported when I'm doing a lateral raise? when you want variety, I argue, I think that sort of functionality is very worth it, but really, again, it's in the eyes of the individual based on your gym, obviously based on if you have a three by three rack as well. Now talking about how you mount it to the three by three rack is actually another kind of piece of the puzzle on whether or not that's gonna be worth it to you. So I'm gonna remove this pad attachment here, set that to the side.

And the base is a top, you know, welded pin and a little pop pin as like a secondary lock on the back. Again, this is made for three by three racks with two inch hole spacing. It's made for their Imperial racks, but there also works on metric as well. So basically for all intents and purposes, any three by three rack this will work for. It's made to go typically on, you know, the front posts of a rack. I was showing it here on lever arms.

It doesn't really matter any three by three tube, but then depending on if you orient it to the arm this way or this way changes obviously where the angle is gonna go. Or if you do something depending on the rack specifically you have, I've actually made some dedicated cross members. I know this is gonna get a little kind of packed and kind of hard to see, but I've made some dedicated cross bars slash cross members to mount this thing directly in the back of my rack. Now, rather than let's say horizontal angles, based on how I've oriented it, like sideways on a cross member, I actually have these vertical angles, which I think is extremely useful in this new era of rack mounted cable systems because now depending on where your cable system is, you can do things like chest supported rows is absolutely one of my favorite exercises to do. I can use this as a back pad for things like some sort of cable curls. I've even done things like using it as a back support for a lever arm press similar to like a standing, like a dinobody press or something like that.

That feels so, so good. I think the back support options are probably the best part about this, but yeah, for sure you can do some chest support things. Like I said, rows, anything else you can think to get kind of creative, but the back support options in and of itself, especially when doing dumbbell movements and then any single or dual sided cable movement, depending on how you put in the rack, just really has kind of elevated the functionality of my personal rack.

And I think for people, again, with the all-in-one cable systems, that is where something like this extremely, extremely shines, hence why they offer it as an attachment for their Prodigy series. Now, some of the last things I wanna talk about are improvements. The pad itself, no improvement needed.

This thing is absolutely great quality. It's got a pad and then like a protective cover that's stitched in here as well. Both the density of the pad is like, I would say pretty firm. This is what I would equate to any machine padding. You go to a commercial gym, you know, the vinyl is thick, it is not gonna break. The padding itself is stiff, so over time it's not gonna wear on you for home gym use.

It probably wouldn't wear on you for commercial use. So the padding is great. The couple of things that I would suggest as improvements to this, number one, is going to be this adjustment mechanism here for the seat.

So like I said, nine height adjustments, but once you get past the bottom one, it will free fall and I have smashed my fingers in here more times than I would like to admit. And it is quite painful, honestly, whether it's your skin or your fingers. So I think, I see why they've done that, but I think they could round this out in a way to still give some angle adjustments down here, even if nothing, to just prevent that from happening. So again, when you go to this last one, if your hand's not on here and you're not paying attention, you pull this, your finger could be under here, it could be under the bracket, and I've done that a handful of times, and it's very, very painful. So that's number one I'd like to see is maybe just changing the shape of this bracket a little bit, so that maybe your fingers don't get hurt.

Again, not a huge issue, just more of a quality of life thing. The other thing I'd like to see is actually different attachments for this tube. I do not recommend this for something like lat pull downs, for example. So if you wanted to go this way, put this on the center, bring this down. You know, it's a couple of things.

There's enough tolerance like play in this, and it's completely appropriate. Probably wobbles by like an inch or so when I'm going from gravity pushing this down to lifting this up. But if I were to pull up a bench, you know, I want to sit down and brace my knees. It's not quite, let's say, either wide enough or supportive enough, but even if it was, you need something longer, kind of like this, which is like a leg roller attachment, which got really excited one time because I was like, oh my gosh, that's a great idea.

And I popped the tube out and I was all ready to get it set up and realized whatever this attachment was, was just a little bit not big enough to fit in there, like ever so slightly, like millimeters away. So that would be cool. So something like this, where you can still have like a leg holder, lat pull down attachment, I think that could be very useful. Or the other thing I thought of is potentially one to put your feet on for something like low rows.

So if you were able to mount this a little lower, you know, sit down here. And let's say you have a cable system, like a rep areas, you slide the trolleys to the bottom, you grab the cables, and now that you have this, you can actually scoot out and sit back away from the rack if they had something like that. So that's something again, that I think could be really cool if they had more attachments for that tube port as well.

Now, the other improvements I would like to see, if possible, this lateral angle bracket, there's the angle adjustments here, but I would actually prefer this to be almost like a half moon or semi circle, or even just maybe add a couple of different more angles, something very similar to this, like this Vendetta strength and athletics bracket for lever arms. I understand on one side, why they have it limited, so it doesn't come back and actually hit the attachment. But one of two things, one, if by default, they just had a plate that had a couple more angles, a couple more this way. I'm assuming maybe something to do with the arm and kind of structurally based on how everything and all the leverages go, that maybe it could be dangerous.

I don't know. I personally would like to see more angles this way and or have the option to buy like a different bracket. So this literally is just bolted on with three Allen bolts.

I almost considered trying to get a local company to like fab up one that I could literally just continue this out and then have somewhere in the realm of seven more adjustments for that. Then when I put it on a rack, it can like pretty full swing all the way in and out. Again, kind of nitpicky, but I think I would like to see that. But all things considered, I think they did a really good job with this attachment. It's not one that's very popular or known, but I think especially with all-in-one systems, rack systems, this has a lot of utility and versatility and is not that expensive and it works on any different kind of rack. So something like this, I think can be extremely valuable for the right person, in the right situation, but do again now if not for everyone with some of the trade-offs that I listed.
