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.
The patent-pending Athena® features a trolley that allows you to do cable work at any height on the upright and is lined with a special plastic to protect them. The knurled handle and oversized pop-pin make it easy to adjust with one hand. The trolley includes a safety pin for added security while in use. The Athena® cables are made from high-quality, galvanized wire with a raw steel core. The pulleys are made from strong aluminum and the front pulleys have a 180-degree swivel for versatility when working outside the rack. The attachment comes with a urethane D Handle attachment and is compatible with a wide assortment of cable attachments. The Athena® is also available as a plate-loaded version.
Note: The selectorized Athena® comes with six 2” spacers (per unit) for your rear storage weight horns. The weight stack cannot clear past standard 17.7” diameter plates without the use of the spacers.
