FAQS
-
Which power racks are compatible with the Ares™?
Only the PR-4000 and PR-5000 series power racks are compatible with the Ares™. For the PR-4000, you will need to upgrade to the 16” cross-members with vertical holes. For PR-4000 rack owners - a new set of the upgraded 16" PR-4000 crossmembers will be included until October of 2022. PR-5000 owners should verify they own the V2 PR-5000 power rack, which has 1” holes along the upright, whereas V1 has alternating 5/8” holes and 1” holes.
-
What rack configurations will the Ares™ fit on?
* The PR-4000 6-post rack with 24", 30", or 41" cross-members in the front with 16" cross-members in the back, or two sets of 16" cross-members to save space.
* The PR-4000 4-post rack with only the 16" cross-members.
* The PR-5000 6-post rack with 30" or 41" cross-members in the front with 16" cross-members in the back, or two sets of 16" cross-members to save space.

How do I know if I have a V1 PR-5000?
PR-5000 V1’s have alternation 1” and 5/8” holes along the upright and is not compatible with the Ares™. The V1 was discontinued in 2020.
-
What is the weight capacity on the trolley and cables?
The weight capacity for both the cable and the trolleys is 450lbs.
-
What is the ratio of the pulleys and the cable travel?
The pulleys are a 2:1 ratio. A 93” rack has 96” of cable travel and an 80” has 72” of cable travel. The depth of the rack does not affect cable travel.
-
How much do the weight stacks weigh?
The weight stacks are 260lbs each with the option to upgrade them to 310lbs each. They also come with labels that tell you how the weight stacks feel for ease of use. No math required.
-
Do I need to bolt the rack down with the Ares™?
We always recommend bolting the rack down for safety. With the 4-Post Ares™ attachment, we recommend using our Front Foot Extensions .
-
What if I cut out holes in my mats for the uprights?
You will also need to clear a section in the back so the Ares™ components can rest on the floor. We also touch on this in the Ares™ engineering video.
-
If I eventually change the depth of my rack, will my Ares™ still work?
You will need to change your cable length if you change the depth of your rack. Cable packages will be sold separately so you can upgrade.
-
Will there be a plate-loaded version of the Ares™?
We are working on quite a few cable attachment options, including plate-loaded and selectorized, but they may not look exactly like the Ares™. We do not currently have any public release dates for these new products.
-
Do I need a specific color of uprights?
Not necessarily. While the matte black finish does have some texture, the trolleys will still work just fine. But the trolly will work best on our other finishes.
-
Does the Ares™ work with the Rear Base Stabilizer?
No, the Ares™ completely replaces the Rear Base Stabilizer.
-
Can I use the ISO Arms?
Yes, and we demonstrate how to integrate the Ares™ and the ISO Arms in the Ares™ engineering video.
-
Can I use the Belt Squat Attachment on the low pulleys?
Yes, and we demonstrate how to use the Belt Squat Attachment in the Ares™ engineering video.
-
Are any pull-up bars not compatible with the Ares™?
The multi-grip pull-up bar is not compatible with the 16” + 16” cross-member configuration (of the PR-4000 and PR-5000). The globe grip is not compatible with the 41” front cross-member + 16” back cross-member configuration of the PR-(4000 and PR-5000). The Globe Grip was updated in 2020. The older version will not work with any configuration of the Ares™.
*The 4-post power rack compatible with the Ares™ does not include a pull-up bar that is compatible with the configuration (...yet).*
-
Is the Ares™ compatible with other brands of power racks?
No. The Ares™ was designed for REP brand PR-4000 and PR-5000 series racks. Even if other racks have a 47” rack, there is no standardization across hole patterns, metric measurements, height, thickness of powdercoat, etc. We will not guarantee the fit of an Ares™ on anything other than a REP rack.
-
How does the Ares™ ship?
The Ares™ ships LTL Freight. After we ship it with one of our shipping partners and it’s on the way to your address, someone will call you to schedule a time and date to drop it off. A semitrailer will arrive with a wooden crate, and inside the crate, we’ve securely packaged the Ares™ in multiple boxes to allow just a single person to bring it into their garage, basement, or gym. We are shipping over 1,000lbs, and this is the most secure and protected way to ship the Ares™ to you.
-
What if I already own the Lat/Low Row Attachment?
Currently, the Ares™ system completely replaces our current plate-loaded lat pull-down and low row attachment with a selectorized lat pull-down and low row and functional trainer system all in one. (“Selectorized” refers to your ability to select the desired weight with a pin.) We are developing other options that integrate with the plate-loaded Lat/Low Row Attachment that will allow you to add the functional trainer capabilities.
-
What exercises can I do on the Ares™?
The number of exercises you can perform is long, but just to name a few: curls, tricep pushdowns, cable flies, lateral leg raises, donkey kicks, lateral arm raises, rehab/prehab shoulder work, mid rows, wood chops, face pulls, belt squats with our attachment, seated cable flies, and since there are so many attachment points, it is easy to superset between exercises.
