FAQ
What’s the difference between a functional trainer and a cable tower?
A functional trainer uses one or two independent, height-adjustable pulleys for full-body training, while a cable tower is a single or dual column that’s more compact and focused on accessory work. REP Fitness offers both styles so you can match versatility to your space.
How do I choose the right functional trainer or cable machine for my space?
Measure footprint and ceiling height, then consider resistance type (selectorized vs plate-loaded), pulley ratio, cable travel, and attachment needs; REP offers stand-alone, wall-mounted, and rack-integrated options to fit different rooms. For a deeper comparison, see our guide to choosing a cable machine.
Should I choose a selectorized weight stack or a plate-loaded setup?
Selectorized stacks change weight quickly and are ideal for shared or fast-paced workouts; plate-loaded saves cost and uses the plates you already own. REP builds both so you can prioritize convenience or value.
What pulley ratio should I look for?
1:1 gives a heavier, direct feel; 2:1 is a popular balance of smooth cable travel and usable range; 4:1 allows fine increments and very long travel. Choose based on your goals and typical exercises.
Which cable attachments do I need to start, and will they work across machines?
Basics include D-handles, a triceps rope, a lat bar, and a row handle; most clip on via standard carabiners and work across trainers and towers. For ideas and use cases, see our overview of which cable attachments to use and why.
