Athena Selectorized Side Mount Functional Trainer
The Athena Selectorized Side-Mount Functional Trainer is a low-profile cable attachment that integrates into the side of your PR-4000 or PR-5000 series power rack. Get the functionality of a functional trainer machine so you can build your upper body and get in accessory and isolation work, without needing space for a stand-alone unit. In addition, it provides a lower price point (and smaller footprint) than the Ares Attachment, which includes a lat pulldown and low row. The Athena features a 2:1 pulley ratio, which means 20lbs feels like 10lbs. Each stack weighs 170lbs per side (feels like 85lbs) with the option to upgrade each stack to 220lbs (feels like 110lbs). It features hot-rolled steel plates with a 3% tolerance and a magnetic pin for quick and easy weight changes. Add bands to the integrated band pegs on the base and headplate for added resistance up to a max of 540lbs. The Athena gives you the freedom to customize your rack’s functionality by choosing either a left, right, or dual-sided setup.

Ares Cable Attachment
The Ares Cable Attachment is a fully integrated, functional trainer and lat pulldown/low row attachment that affixes to your existing PR-4000 or PR-5000 power rack. This saves major space, by bringing a ton more versatility and cable exercises inside the rack, while preserving nearly all the original functionality. The Ares features dual weight stacks of 260lbs each (with an option to upgrade to 310lbs per stack) that you can use for unilateral exercises. Or connect both stacks together for bilateral movements that demand heavier weight, like lat pull-downs. The patent-pending Ares features trolleys that are designed with a smooth plastic liner that’s easy to adjust up and down with one hand.

FT-5000 Functional Trainer
The FT-5000 Functional Trainer brings commercial-grade cable strength training to your home gym. This full, versatile trainer features 16 cable positions with dual weight stacks that top out at 220lbs each, for a total of 440lbs at a 2:1 ratio (moving 100lbs feels like 50lbs). It’s packed with high-end features, like a magnetic-tipped pin to lock weight in place and a column handle on wheels that adjusts height smoothly and effortlessly. The cable column markings are laser-etched, so it’s easy to line up the handles.
The sturdy, 11-gauge frame is double-coated with a chip-resistant, electrostatic powder coating and topped with a black metallic finish
