Cybex Weight Tree

Name: Cybex Weight Tree
Brand: Cybex
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)

The Cybex Weight Tree (sold today under the Life Fitness umbrella) is a commercial-grade storage rack built to keep a lifting area tidy: six zinc-coated pegs hold weight plates while two vertical holders store a pair of Olympic bars, all in a 35” x 25” footprint. At 68 lbs of welded steel with a stated 1000 lb capacity, it’s built for gyms that need storage to survive years of daily use, but its compact size and simple assembly make it just as workable tucked into a home-gym corner. The line has since been discontinued by the manufacturer, so expect to source one through the used/commercial-equipment resale market rather than buying new.

What is a Storage?

What gym storage is

Storage keeps a home gym safe, tidy, and usable: weight-plate trees and pegs, barbell holders (vertical or horizontal), dumbbell and kettlebell shelves, and wall or rack-mounted organizers. Loose plates and bars on the floor are a trip-and-damage hazard; storage reclaims space and protects your equipment.

What to consider

Match storage to what you own (plate diameter, number of bars, dumbbell count) and your space — wall-mounted units and rack-hung storage save floor area, while free-standing trees move easily. Check the weight capacity and, for wall units, that you can anchor into studs.

A no-frills commercial storage tree from Cybex (now sold under Life Fitness) — six zinc-coated plate pegs plus two vertical Olympic bar holders in a compact 35” x 25” footprint. Its standout dimension is build quality: 68 lbs of welded steel rated to a stated 1000 lb capacity, with polymer bumpers on the pegs and rubber sleeve caps to protect both the frame and the plates. Value is the weak spot — the line is discontinued with no published manufacturer price, so any figure you find is a used/resale listing rather than a current one, and there’s no independent editorial or video coverage to weigh against the manufacturer’s own claims.

+Build quality: welded steel frame with zinc-coated storage pegs and polymer bumpers to protect finish from plates (Life Fitness/Cybex catalog)
+Functionality: stores six plates plus two Olympic bars vertically in one compact unit, freeing floor space (Life Fitness/Cybex catalog)
+Durability: stated 1000 lb capacity and hemispherical rubber end caps that dampen noise and ease loading (reseller spec listings)
+Functionality: compact 35" x 25" footprint suits a home-gym corner as easily as a commercial floor (Life Fitness/Cybex catalog)

−Value: line is discontinued with no manufacturer price published — any listing found is a used/resale price, not new (Life Fitness/Cybex catalog)
−Versatility: single-purpose storage piece, not a rack or multi-use accessory (Life Fitness/Cybex catalog)
−Functionality: no independent editorial, YouTube, or community reviews exist to corroborate the manufacturer's claims — coverage is limited to spec sheets and resale listings (targeted searches for reviews/reddit/youtube)
−Durability: at 68 lbs it's not easily repositioned once loaded with plates (Life Fitness/Cybex catalog)
