THE MONSTER CAVE

Reflex Fitness is a manufacturer of commercial grade fitness equipment used by Colleges, Pro Teams, Olympic Training Facilities, High Schools, Military, Fire, and Law enforcement since 1990. Rogue purchased Reflex in 2018 to add their considerable capabilities to our product offerings. They continue to build outstanding fitness equipment in their Illinois Factory.

Our design combines the space-efficient Monster Fold Back Rack with two cable-pulley stations, enabling superior training versatility with almost limitless customization potential. No matter how you choose to configure it, this unique rig can consolidate your barbell movements, cable movements, and equipment storage into a single, all-in-one system, with sizing options suited to whatever your gym needs.

The Monster Cave is manufactured in the USA and features 3x3” 11-gauge steel with an MG Black finish, 1” Monster hardware, and laser-cut holes spaced 2” on center. Customers can select the height of the uprights (90” or 100”) and the depth and configuration of the central Fold Back Rack, which is available as either a full 4-post power rack (24” or 30” depth) with included strap safeties or a standard 2-post fold-flat (21.5” or 41.5” depth). Building on the modular design of the Reflex Racks, the Monster Cave is also compatible with multiple different storage options, from Rack Storage Panels and specialized shelves to new side side winder that make it possible to use the real estate on the outsides of the weight stack Slingers for additional storage.

There are multiple cable system options with the Monster Cave, as well, from our Monster Weight Stack Slingers (with new high and low swivel pulleys) to either dual full CT-1 Cable Towers or a combination of the CT-1 and a LP-2 Lat Pulldown/Low Pull.

Rogue single cable handles are also included. Shrouds for the outsides of the weight stacks are included standard. The slinger itself is made with ¼” thick steel mounting plates, chrome-plated guide rods, Mil Spec cable, and 300 LB adjustable weight stacks in 10 LB increments with a 1:1 ratio (only the Weight Stack version of the Slinger is available with this package).

2. Dual CT-1:
The CT-1 Cable Towers have 16 adjustable height positions and include 6” machined aluminum pulleys, a USA Mil Spec cable, diamond tread footplate, Rogue single cable handles, and a 250 LB weight stack in 10 LB increments with a 2:1 ratio. This is only available with the 100” rack height option.

Along with custom attachments, customers can also customize The Monster Cave to their gym’s available space. The Fold Back Rack in the middle of the rig is available as a full power rack with 4 uprights (in a 24” or 30” depth) with included strap safeties or as a standard 2-upright fold-flat in a 21.5” or 41.5” depth. The height of the unit can also be selected at either 90” or 100”.

Long wait but worth it "Monster cave"
I bought this on Black Friday in November 2022 and it just arrived Feb 10th. When it arrived getting it off the truck was a challenge. This delivery was to a residential and the long pallet it arrives on is awkward. Assembly is 3 days with 2 people. I ordered the KB shelf and plate shelf. The KB shelf doesn't work alone. It requires the plate shelf for a base, that is not mentioned on the web site both are single post mounts. The sidewinder plate mounts I ordered is actually just brackets with no hanging plate another misleading item. But all that aside it is very sturdy and clean. I look forward to many years of use.

Awesome!
I was debating getting the 30" panel width vs. 43" panel width and was swayed towards the 43" panel width by some of the earlier reviews. I'm glad I did as the 43" wide allows you able working room and it would be really hard to load up the bar inside the rack with the 30" side panels. I got the 30" full rack and I'm glad I did as it allows me to bench and squat from the rear rack. Note that when racking on the rear vertical inside the full rack, the single post shelf JUST clears a standard plate while mounted on the 2" sandwich J clips but is about 0.5" too close so if you plan to bench/squat from the rear you can only mount a shelf low to the ground. If Rogue made the rear crossmembers 9 inches instead of 7 inches a kettleball shelf could be mounted anywhere with no issue. Some folks here complain about the slingers being too short on the 90" tall uprights but this can easily be solved by using the 2 ft nylon extension that comes with the rig.

Awesome setup for limited space
Rogue customer service was awesome as always. Moving both CT-1 into the house was a pain and they discourage you from taking anything apart. After studying them in my garage for 2 weeks, I figured how to remove the weight stack (it was easy) and it MUCH easier to maneuver. lifted both CT-1 frame in the house myself with my wife handling the pulley head. Only complaint is that both CT-1 are built to be on the left side. The weight stacks are not labeled on both sides but because I took it apart, I was able to flip each weight so the labeling would is visible and not facing against the wall. The handle for the right CT-1 is still facing the wall and cannot be flipped to be better optimized (pic4). Really wish rogue made the handles to face the center!

Monster Cave
The Monster Cave is amazing. The lat pull down works very well, 300 lbs. more than I will use. It is expensive but we’ll worth the price. The entire family is using it. I have no complaints, the wider the cave the better if you want the best storage options. The build quality is amazing. The customer service is also exceptional.

Very good product
I have had the monster cave with the CT 1 towers for several months and have been very happy. No complaints. I think they are worth the money if you have the room for them.

The last rack I will ever own.
I had a PRX rack prior to this. I wanted something that was not wall mounted and wanted to replace my loading pin and pulley for any lat or extension work. This unit is solid. The hardware is serious and was packaged and delivered safely. The only gripe about the setup was it comes with 20 different sets of instructions for each component or add on. It is not one big instruction manual so I had to go back and remove bolts and move the top slingers if I was adding the front pivot slinger, which I was. The only other gripe I had was I got the full 30 inch rack so I will never be folding it in. It still comes with the folding hinges. It should come with a solid 9 inch bracket instead of the swivel hinge. Other than this small issues this rack is amazing. The weight stacks are smooth, the hardware solid, and quality high. The J Cups are amazing and the safety strap system also great. This rack is something my young boys will hopefully use when they get old enough to lift.

Just about perfect
It’s been about a month since I built this beast in my garage. It’s pretty incredible that you can fit this much into such a small profile. Installation took my buddy and I almost 2 full days. My biggest problem with that was that the instructions were not very clear on the weight stacks. They could have been more descriptive because if you don’t do it exactly right then the cable wouldn’t slide properly. About functionality: it’s great. It’s over built in all the good ways. I absolutely love it. But I am a perfectionist and there are couple of things I might suggest. 1. I wish the weight stack was taller or maybe just went to 250 instead of 300lbs to add more space. I say this because doing chest flies can cause the stack to hit the top of the rack even if you step a small distance out of the footprint of the rig. That’s pretty annoying but at the end of the day I am just thrilled to have them instead of stupid bands. To be clear, I even have the tallest rig type and the duel slingers. 2. A footplate would have been great on the duel slinger model. I’m using heavy db’s as a solution but a footplate would obviously be better. 3. The price for the shelves/hooks/storage bins is silly expensive. But it’s Rogue so you are not reading this if you weren’t expecting to pay at a premium. All these things are small gripes. I’m absolutely in love with this and use it every day.

Limited cable length, Overall Great product
I bought the cave prior to any reviews being posted. If I could do it all over again I would purchase the 43” instead of the 30”. 30" may have it uses, it limits room inside working area. Cable length restrictions: lower swivel pulley can move up and down. However, you can't use it once you go above the halfway point of the upright. The metal connectors get caught in the swivel/pulley. Addressing the issue should be simple by making the cable longer, add another bar to make top pulley higher or going with the taller unit, possibly. Overall, I am satisfied with quality and delivery method. Everything arrived conveniently packaged. Installed everything by myself, which took a few hours a night after work during the week and one day on the weekend. The only issue I have is the cable length. Again, if I had to do it all over I would go with the 43", get the taller unit or atleast one CT1.
