"Good spotters arms. I would prefer them with a smaller height so I could put them lower on the cage (they hit the lower screws) to do some below the knee hanging deadlifts"

Pascalin R. (4/5)

Rock-solid spotter arms.

"Rock-solid build with a great finish. I haven’t been able to use them yet since my gym isn’t fully set up, but it’s obvious these spotter arms will be incredibly useful. What really stands out is the customer service — I had to reach out multiple times and each time the support was fast, helpful, and genuinely excellent. A company that clearly stands behind its products. Also to note, can easily be stored on rack by inversing the configuration. But the wall mount gives a clean look for your home gym."

Solid Stable Safety Spotter Arms

"Extremely solid safety spotter arms. | Experience: 30+ years. | Build Quality: 11-gauge steel construction. Extremely solid. Stable. Over-Engineered (in a good way). Smooth welds. Quality powder coat. Design ensures spotter arms stay in place. Protective HDPE inserts prevent barbell damage. | Performance & Use: Solid; no flex under load. Easy to adjust. Added pins (purchased separately) increase stability. I added to the Gorila Hr90 half rack. | Durability & Longevity: Holding up well (5 months of use). | Pros: Extremely solid & stable. Easy to adjust. HDPE inserts protect barbell. Made in Canada. Gorila Fitness is a Canadian company. | Cons: Hitch pins sold separately. No HDPE to protect uprights. Bottom hole not exactly lined up (need to adjust slightly to get hitch pin in). | Recommendation: Highly recommend."

"They work great and have a nice finish to them. Complete confidence in them. I added the pins for extra stability as I have a young toddler who likes to climb on them between sets occasionally."

Andrew M. (5/5)

Much better than pin safties

"Wish I had the option to upgrade to these spotter arms instead of the standard pin safeties. Like other reviewers mentioned i wish it had been lined with HDPE to protect powdercoating, considering the cost. Had a frustrating experience. Both spotter arms were damaged during shipping, so reached out and got one replacement arm after waiting 6 months. Ordered November 2022, originally received mid-January reached out for warranty and didn't receive replacement till mid June. I guess I will hammer out the damage on the second arm."

Tyson J. (3/5)

Spotter arms

"These spotter arms are amazing. Great quality metal, paint, and welds at joints. I often train alone and get a bit apprehensive about pushing myself on bench press. Not anymore!! With these safety arms I can push myself further without worrying that I will get stuck or even hurt. These guys are my workout buddies I count on. They are worth their weight in gold if you want to get to the next level."
