## Abstract

A squat rack for group fitness exercises specifically designed for storability and mobility. Storability is achieved by making one of the edges narrower than the other allowing one unit to fit in another. Mobility is achieved through two small wheels placed on one edge and a set of handles on the opposite edge. The rack is to be used in group classes in gyms, health clubs and other sport venues.
