Introducing the Ares™ 2.0
A Full Cable Station.
Zero Extra Floor Space.
Functional trainer, lat pulldown, and seated row, integrated right into your PR-5000 or PR-4000 rack. Everything your power rack already does, plus every cable movement you've been missing.
THE OLD WAY
A functional trainer takes up as much floor as a second rack.
Until now.
Featuring
Dual Selectorized Stacks
Each side runs on its own 260 lb stack. Train one arm at a time, both together, or superset off each trolley without touching a pin. Training with a partner? You each get your own cable and your own weight.
Upgrade each stack to 310 lb (feels like 155 lb at 2:1) when your progress calls for it.
HOW IT COMPARES
The Cable System That Lets You Do More.
Most rack-mounted cable systems share one stack between both sides. The Ares™ 2.0 gives each side its own, so your cable options multiply.
Swivel Pulleys & Cables
Smooth Pull. Every Angle.
Every pulley swivels 180°, so the cable follows your arm instead of fighting it. Aluminum pulleys with custom retainers and a thinner cable coating keep the pull quiet and smooth, the kind of feel you'd expect from a commercial machine.
The front pulleys sit a few inches wider than the original Ares™, giving you a range of motion on cable flies that matches a stand-alone functional trainer.
Lat Pulldown & Seated Row
Build Your Back Without Leaving the Rack.
The integrated lat pulldown now pairs with a seated row set at a higher, more comfortable cable point. Sit on a bench or the floor. Run straight bars or single-arm work off each cable.
Works with your bench
Footplate cutouts center your AB-5200 2.0, BlackWing™, AB-3000 2.0, or Nighthawk™ deeper in the rack.
redesigned footplate
Brace hard.
Wider, angled at the top for support, and adjustable for multiple starting positions. The cables now run between your feet instead of outside them, so your drive stays straight.
Stacks rotated 90° and set back open up room for incline bench and the Safety Squat Bar inside the rack.
One-handed trolleys
Adjust with ease.
Knurled handles and an oversized pop-pin move each trolley with one hand. A plastic liner protects your uprights. Trolleys rest at the bottom when you're not using them, leaving the top clear for J-cups.
Rated load
450 lb trolley and cable capacity. Plate tolerance held to 3%.
In the box
Ready to Train.
Day One.
Every Ares™ 2.0 ships with the attachments you'll use most, plus integrated 5 lb add-on weights (2.5 lb per side) for precise progression.
One Attachment. Every Setup.
However You Train, It Fits.
