The left-sided and right-sided orientations are determined when facing the rack.
- Place your weight horns on the back of your rear storage upright.
- Purchase an additional pair of uprights and a set of 30" crossmembers and build your weight storage out to the side. See Here
- Save space using the Wall Mounted Plate Storage.
- If space is not an issue, we offer many other off-the-rack weight plate storage options.
Yes, but only if you purchase the Rear Base Stabilizer 2.0. The new RBS 2.0 mounts to the sides of the uprights instead of the rear. This allows the RBS 2.0 to not interfere with the stack or carriage that sits inside the 16" crossmembers. The RBS 2.0 also allows you to mount your safeties at a lower position.
Yes. A conversion kit will provide the necessary components to turn your 4000 or 5000 series Side-Mount Functional Trainer attachment into the selectorized attachment. The selectorized attachment allows you to change the weight using a pin and weight stack instead of plates.
The plate-loaded Athena® is ideal for the lifter looking for a lower-cost machine, owns a sizable plate collection, and is okay with creating an alternative weight storage solution to storing weights on the side of the rack.
The selectorized Athena® is ideal for people who want the magnetic pin for quick and easy weight changes, want to continue to use their existing weight storage system, and don’t own a large plate collection. Both have a max weight capacity of 540lbs. The selectorized Athena® can integrate bands to reach that max.
Only the PR-4000 6-post and PR-5000 series power racks are compatible. For the PR-4000, you will need to upgrade to the 16” crossmembers with vertical holes (not included). PR-5000 owners should verify they own the PR-5000 V2 power rack, which has 1” holes along the upright, whereas V1 has alternating 5/8” holes and 1” holes. The V1 was discontinued in 2020. The attachment is not compatible with the discontinued version.
The Athena® is not compatible with any flat-footed rack configuration: OMNI, Apollo, or HR-5000 V1.
No, crossmembers aren't included with purchase. For the PR-4000, you will need to upgrade the 16” crossmembers if the ones you currently own don't have vertical holes.
Yes. If you order an 80” rack, the 93” attachment will not be compatible. Vice versa, if you order a 93” rack, the 80” attachment will not be compatible.
The Athena® attachment adds 7.9” of depth to the front of your rack (trolley), 1.8” of height (top pulleys), and 12.3” of width per side (weight horns).
The cable travel is 82.8” for the 80” attachment and 106” for the 93” attachment.
The lowest usable weight for the plate-loaded version is 7lbs (empty carriage).
We cannot guarantee compatibility due to machining/manufacturing differences between companies.
The Athena® will ship ground or freight depending on quantity purchased (left, right, or dual-sided) or if the unit(s) are purchased in conjunction with other large/heavy items.
Structural welds on attachments and frames have a lifetime warranty. Pop-pins, pulleys, bearings, and cables have a one-year warranty.
Yes, but there will be rubbing with the cables.

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoSmooth and versatile
Incredibly smooth for a plate loaded cable machine. Easy adjustment makes it pretty seamless to move between exercises. As you can tell from the picture, my equipment gets a lot of abnormal use from my kids, but it is holding up great. Loving it so far!
JEJosiah E. - Rated 4 out of 5 stars2 years agoGreat piece of equipment!!!
Great piece of equipment, very pleased with my purchase. Only issue is with the instructions, feel like some of the steps could've been streamlined with slight changes.
JSJesus S. - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoSmoooooooth Operator
I absolutely love my new Rack with Athena. It is everything that I had wanted. The cable pulls are the smoothest of any machine that I have ever used. Cannot recommend enough.
KKKyle K. - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoLove the Athena Side-Mount!
One of the main features that drew me in with the Athena Side-Mount is the fact that it doesn’t require additional space at the back of the rack. It works beautifully and I’ve been able to get a lot of functionality out of it. It’s a very smooth pulley system as long as the weight is evenly distributed on each side. It’s still relatively smooth if the weight is unbalanced, but you can definitely feel the difference. I’m extremely happy with this addition to my rack.
SVSutton V. - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoSo much better than the gym
Super smooth even if you don’t evenly distribute the weight, easy set up, adds so much versatility to the rack, stock handles are good quality,
