REP Pegasus Review – Almost Perfect Rack Attachment – 2026

Last updated on January 5th, 2026 at 07:22 pm

I’ve been using the VOLTRA I’s since 2023 on my rack. They were pretty awesome and continue to get better. But a huge downside of them compared to a traditional cable machine, is that they don’t have the normal “accessories” like a seat and something to hold you in place. Enter, the REP Pegasus.

The REP Pegasus was at the top of my list for new rack attachments because of a number of features, and I thought it would be the perfect compliment for the VOLTRAs. Over the past several months we have been putting that thought to the test, and today we are sharing our experiences with myself, my wife, and my daughter.

So today we are going to walk through how the REP Pegasus is being used in our space, with the VOLTRAs as the primary best friend accessory. If you aren’t part of the VOLTRA Cult, you might still get a little information out of this review, but it is going to MOSTLY focus on that pairing.

Transparency Note

REP Fitness sent me the Pegasus for free, for sake of review. They also sponsor my Garage Gym Competition. I have an affiliate link, so if you choose to buy the REP Pegasus today because of this review, that link will give me a kick back at no cost to you.

As we will be talking about the VOLTRAs heavily, lets mention that as well. I was an early beta tester for them, and have received two full production units for free for sake of review, alongside multiple mounts and an affiliate link that once again, costs you nothing and helps me out tremendously.

The funds help manage this website, my YouTube, and the various things I do in the home gym community. I appreciate your support.

Background

I recently upgraded my rack to the IronBull Strength Frankenstein Rack, and wanted to deck it out in the best rack attachments I could find. Anything that wasn’t quite working for me 100% with my old rack, was going to get a makeover for the new rack.

The VOLTRA I’s are awesome, but sitting on a bench wasn’t quite cutting it. Lat pulldowns started to turn into a situation where we had to try and hold ourselves down, experimenting with band pegs, seat belts, and other contraptions. Nothing quite worked.

The REP Pegasus, which has been reviewed by a number of people for use on the REP Adonis and other cable driven rack systems, appears to tick a lot of boxes for my use with the VOLTRAs. And that will be the main focus of this review. Is the REP Pegasus the perfect accessory for the Beyond Power VOLTRA I?

I’ll also dig into the other accessory movements you can do with it, as this thing does more than what meets the eye.

Shipping & Assembly

The REP Pegasus was shipped unbelievably well. After receiving the Pegasus and Nighthawk from REP I have become spoiled with great packaging, instructions, and easy assembly processes. Once again, this went so quickly I forgot to grab my camera before it was already done. A+ job here, especially for something that COULD get really complicated with the number of adjustments, pins, and more.

REP Pegasus Overview

Out of the box the REP Pegasus is an adjustable lat seat, with rollers, that can attach to your rack. But the finer details, something that REP has gotten better and better at over the years, is where this thing separated itself from the rest of the competition.

The REP Pegasus comes in two versions, one for their 4000 line and one for their 5000 line. Meaning 3×3 racks, one with 5/8″ hardware and the other with 1″ hardware. From what I can tell, they aren’t any different other than that. And with a few of the features I note below, they should be compatible with any 3×3 rack.

Lat Seat

The lat seat is the obvious reason to first look at the REP Pegasus. If you don’t have a cable machine of some kind that needs a seat, everything else in this write up can be done for cheaper. The lat seat gives us a few wins out the gate when paired to the VOLTRAs. We get somewhere to sit, and we get the leg rollers that hold us in place.

The pad is similar to REPs benches, with the grippy vinyl, injection molded foam, REP lettering and overall extremely high quality pad. This means we have a comfortable but firm seat, that is likely to last a LONG time. In fact, if you compare the seat to my REP Nighthawk, they are almost identical.

The Nighthawk has the newer fully wrapped vinyl where we don’t have the pin and strip around the bottom edge, which is a bit cleaner and limits the ability for tearing over time… Something I could see in a V2 redesign for the REP Pegasus.

The REP Pegasus rollers are the same design, grippy vinyl, injection molded foam, and some really clean end caps. The rollers adjust up and down a total of 6 inches of length. So my thicc thighs and my daughters twigs both fit in the seat.

The seat adjusts as well in a number of ways. The height, the angle, and the distance from the rack. These are important for the lat function mostly because it gives us the ability to accommodate different sized athletes. Again, my thighs are a solid foot and a half long, and my daughters are close to half a foot. If we both sat on the same pad with the same distance from the rack, I would either be eating the rack or she would be in no mans land.

We saw at HomeGymCon that IronBull Strength was demoing a rack pad that had the pins that can be locked out, which is very similar to the attachment port on the Freak Athlete ABX.

The cool thing with that kind of option, is it could allow some rotational movement for exercises like Hip Thrusts. Another feature I could see in a V2.

Tension Post

Because some racks are 3×3 and others are TRUE 3×3, racks can be a little finicky with attachments. For something that is supporting your body weight, and needs to hold you locked in tight, the last thing you want is some shimmy and shake. REP included a tension adjustment to accommodate the metric and imperial 3×3 racks, which is a fantastic quality of life addition.

We do not get a tension knob to adjust for front to back though. For me, this was never an issue, but I’ve had DMs mention this. Some even going out and 3d printing a tighter fit for their own rack. This will likely greatly depend on your rack manufacturer and how picky you are.

Mag Pin

The REP Pegasus comes with a Magnetic Pin included for attaching securely to your rack. Most rack attachments require you provide your own, so this is already a win on its own. But where REP went the extra mile, is when they included a storage spot for the mag pin in the REP Pegasus itself.

Since a lot of people will be placing the REP Pegasus on their rack for use, then taking it off and storing somewhere, being able to keep the mag pin with the unit is a nice touch. It also makes the set up smooth, as you don’t have to hold the pin in one hand, get the REP Pegasus on the rack with the other, then switch hands to put the pin in place.

This Mag pin should be for sale on its own by the way. It might be my favorite mag pin in rotation, and I have a lot of them. Easy to use, holds tight, but not too tight, and the grip is perfect.

This shows me that REP actually used this themselves before rolling it out. A lot of equipment is designed by a team of, let’s call them, non-lifters. Designers and engineers that design something pretty and functional, but often lacking that extra user experience piece that comes from being someone that truly understands the home gym experience. REP nailed it here.

But wait, there’s more

This is where we step away from the lat seat, and take a look at what the REP Pegasus does in the “extra” category. I think if it didn’t do this stuff, it might still be the best designed lat seat on the market specs wise. But these pieces let you skip a few other rack attachment purchases which is HUGE! This saves you cash and storage space.

Detachable Rollers

The rollers on the REP Pegasus detach from the unit in two ways. First is that roller adjustment post can come out. I’ve found this helpful for storage as it makes the unit considerably smaller, and doesn’t add any appreciable time to the set up.

Second, is if we take this one step further, the rollers actually spin off and detach from the adjustment post. This gives you two roller pads that can be inserted into your rack and screwed back together. This gives you a roller pad to do split squats, hip thrusts, and other various exercises.

Keep in mind that some rack rollers are MUCH longer than these. I find them to be a little too short for things like hip thrusts, so you are probably going to use them for split squats and maybe not much else… But I appreciate the concept. In a V2 I could see an option where these stack together to form one long rack roller, instead of one on each side of the rack. Maybe use the mag pin to hold it onto the rack?

Overall, the REP Pegasus is very well presented. Clean powder coat, great vinyl, stainless steel pins and contact points, UHMW throughout, great thought into how this would be used, moved, and more.

Over the course of the past several months, this has been used by multiple athletes, and it looks brand new. Outside of a big drop or crash with a barbell, I’d expect this to look as good as it does today, for years to come.

REP Pegasus Performance

Non-Voltra Exercises

You can 100% use the REP Pegasus for a number of other exercises out of the VOLTRA (or any cable machine for that matter). Chest Supported Row variations, incline curl options, preacher curl variations, Dumbbell Bench variations.

You can use this like any basic rack pad… and since we get a number of angle adjustments, can adjust up and down the rack, we get a lot of creativity and ability to use with all sizes of athletes. If you own the REP Pegasus, you could conceivably decide to ditch your bench entirely depending on what your programming and goals look like.

This isn’t our main feature today, or how we regularly use it, but it is a valid consideration depending on your gym, your goals, and your preferences.

Lat Pulldowns

Alright, this is the bread and butter of what I wanted the REP Pegasus for… pairing with my VOLTRA Is.

The obvious exercise is the Lat Pulldown. You hop on the seat, adjust the rollers to keep you in place, and get to work. For me and my wife, this was a little more straightforward, for my daughter we had to tinker a bit. You need to get a little creative for smaller athletes because the seat doesn’t slide forward and back, instead you need to figure out the right solution of pop-pin settings.

Keep in mind that the REP Pegasus is going to go into the 4th upright hole above the last bolt and nut you have for your lower crossmembers. This puts me at about 16.5 inches off the ground or 14 inches from the bottom of the rack and the platform.

At my 6ft height, I’ve got a little room to spare for full range of motion lat pulldowns, but my IronBull Strength Frankenstein Rack is a TALL BEAST. If you are working with a shorter rack, make sure to measure.

Make a note that the REP Pegasus attaches to an upright, not a cross-member, so you will only be able to orient your VOLTRA in certain fashions, and if you have something like the ForceUSA Tandem Tower, this isn’t going to solve your lat pulldown needs. In a V2 solution, having the ability to change mounting orientations might could be a cool addition.

This combo works much better than my Inspire FT2 ever did, and has converted me to using the VOLTRAs for all my lat pulldown work.

Leg Day

I had two other exercises with my VOLTRA that I knew I wanted to pair with the REP Pegasus, both for leg day. First up was the Standing Leg Curl. I’ve done these in the past with my FT2, but not having anywhere to brace against was a downside.

The REP Pegasus allows me just enough room to put the VOLTRA at the bottom end of my rack, drop the Pegasus right above it, and use it to support the upper thigh so I can focus on squeezing the hamstrings. I use my IPR Fitness Glute Kickback Pros here. In an ideal world, I’d be able to drop the VOLTRAs a bit further, or my rack wouldn’t be on the platform, but this gets the job done.

The second one is a seated hamstring curl. We are going to hook the REP Pegasus up high enough on a front upright, that you can get your feet swinging underneath without hitting the ground. Then we are going to put the VOLTRA up… WAY up… likely on the upper crossmember as far back as you can. I use two daisy chains here to help split this into two, so our legs can freely go out front and behind without any issues. And we’ll use the rollers to hold ourselves down and in place.

Play

I used to use the low pulleys on my FT2 while seated on a bench, but this is made even better with the VOLTRA auto-load and auto de-load feature, so I can easily get in and out of position, maximize the stretch and full range of motion, without having to do any wonkiness. The only issue we have with the execution here, is that the handle on the REP Pegasus CAN rub on the inside of your legs.

Both of these were favorite exercises of mine with the FT2, but have been a big upgrade with the VOLTRAs and the REP Pegasus combo.

Other Creative Uses

Because the REP Pegasus can be used to provide support in a number of ways, I was able to add it into my rotation for a lot of other cable exercises as well. Instead of using a bench, you can do standing cable curls… I can use my spotter arms and get some extended stretch and range on things like rear delt work. I can use it for lateral raises… Triceps extensions… And this chest supported cable row is pretty fire.

Because the VOLTRAs and REP Pegasus are so easy to set-up and use, I’ve gone back and looked at a lot of the cable attachment exercises I commonly program to see if they could be improved with a VOLTRA and a stability pad. More often than not, it was better.

Just Two Negatives

While the Pegasus crushed it for me in a number of areas, there are two where I think they could get a little better. First, is with storage. If you have a 6 post rack configuration, or even a front or rear foot solution, the Pegasus can go on there. Otherwise, this thing is going to hang off your rack, need a dedicated storage upright, or in my situation, be dismantled a bit and stored on your mass storage rack. All rack attachments have this downside by the way. But it is something you need to think through when adding to your space… where is it going to go?

Second is with Seated Rows. The REP Pegasus is already great for lat pulldowns, why not finish off the solution here and give me a seated row footplate so I don’t have to own ANOTHER rack attachment?

If REP made something that slid right over the top of the seat, and now we had a base to put our feet on, we’d be in business! I could use my REP Nighthawk, my REP Pegasus, my favorite MAG Grip and the VOLTRA, and dominate some seated rows. The pad itself is ALMOST good enough, so there might be other ways to make this work. The pad could come off and the footplate could pop on. Or maybe it reverse entirely and you use the other side. I’m not positive. I just know that this is begging for just ONE more use.

Instead, my current solution is to combine multiple pieces including a spotter arm, step up platform, multiple mag pins, all to get there.

Come on REP… gimme what I need here!

Should You Buy The REP Pegasus?

The majority of the other options on the market are either JUST a rack pad, or JUST a lat seat. REP managed to combine multiple pieces into one, even sneaking in that fancy roller option.

DARKO has the Thresher Pad, which can be added to a safety spotter arm, and used as a seat. This takes up minimal space, uses what you already have, but doesn’t have the same lock down features that the REP Pegasus does.

Rogue offers a similar option to the Pegasus, at basically the same price point. They also offer a low row footplate option.

For my money currently, without handling Rogue’s option, I’d lean towards REP. Stainless steel pins and pop-pins, the fact that Rogue still uses hitch pins instead of MAG pins… the REP Pegasus feels a little more refined.

I think there is room for improvement in the REP Pegasus and still probably room for certain audiences to own something like the Prime Stability Pad that has more reach for more range of motion… But I’ve been happy with the REP Pegasus overall, and feel like I’ll keep finding solutions where I want to use it over grabbing a bench or plain janeing it.

Wrap Up

The REP Pegasus is incredibly well done. When you handle something like this over and over and over again, you begin to notice where other manufacturers skip out on the little details. Things that aren’t huge pieces to the puzzle, but are quality of life solutions. Multi purpose pieces, storage, magpin integration, stainless steel finishes, UHMW, and more. REP nailed it. Now give me that Low Row Footplate and we’ll call it game over!
