SPACE SAVING
Provides the functionality of a functional trainer machine in a low-profile rack attachment without the bulk of a freestanding machine. -
HEFTY WEIGHT STACKS
The 170lb weight stacks are made from hot-rolled steel and operate at a 2:1 ratio (20lbs feels like 10lbs), ideal for functional training. The stacks can be upgraded to 220lbs. -
PATENT-PENDING DESIGN
The light and smooth trolleys with a knurled handle and oversized pop-pin are easy to move with one hand, but strong enough to handle heavy weight. They're lined with a special plastic to protect your uprights. -
QUALITY PULLEYS AND CABLES
This attachment features high-quality cables made from galvanized wire with a raw steel core and strong aluminum pulleys. The front pulleys have a 180-degree swivel for versatility working outside the rack. -
ATTACHMENT VERSATILITY
Includes a urethane D Handle attachment (one per unit) and is compatible with a wide assortment of cable attachments. -
INTEGRATED BAND PEGS
The integrated band pegs on the base and headplate provide the option to create added resistance with bands up to a max weight capacity of 540lbs.

CUSTOMER STORIES
The left-sided and right-sided orientations are determined when facing the rack.
On selectorized equipment, you change the weight using a pin and weight stack, rather than adding plates (like the plate-loaded version of the Athena®).
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.
If you have a 4-post Athena®, you must mount the RBS 2.0 and lat pulldown and low row to the back uprights.
The band peg on the weight stack cannot clear past standard 17.7” diameter plates without the use of the spacers. It can clear past smaller plates. The spacers also prevent you from pinching your fingers between the weight stack and the plates when loading onto the weight storage pins.
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.
The side-mount functional trainer attachment adds 7.9” of depth to the front of your rack (trolley), 1.8” of height (top pulleys), and either 3.7” (PR-4000 bottom band peg) or 5.0” (PR-5000 trolley handle) of width.
Only the PR-4000 6-post and PR-5000 series power racks are compatible. For the PR-4000, you must have the updated 16” crossmembers with vertical holes. 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.
We cannot guarantee compatibility due to machining/manufacturing differences between companies.
The lowest usable weight setting on the selectorized version is 10lbs.
The cable travel is 82.8” for the 80” attachment and 106” for the 93” attachment.
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.

My custom, compact (wall-supported) 3-tower functional trainer employs REP's PR-5000 rack components and three Athena selectorized side-mount cable attachments. Various spacing between the columns provides multiple cable widths for virtually any dual-cable ISO arm, shoulder, back or chest exercises; or linking 1 & 2 together for heavy pulls. Multiple cables also allow quickly moving from high to low, bicep and tricep work, or different attachments. Custom (prototype) lever arms are fully adjustable for height and angles to do various pressing and pulling movements and use the trolleys positioned either above or below the arms for convenient selectorized resistance rather than plates.
The Athena cable kits are super smooth, quiet and frictionless, resulting in a noticeably more effective exercise with no stick-tion or momentum effects. Fit and finish and packaging were flawless. Very satisfied with REP's service and these cable kits !

PFPaul F. - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoThese things are smooth!
I bought 3.
I wanted to have different widths available for the family.
45 inches
90 inches
135 inches
Fedex lost a weight, and rep sent a new one even though this was not their fault.
The only thing that still irritates me is the the way REP ships the weight stack upgrades... QUIT shipping them in individual boxes.... 3 athenas and 1 lat/low row and every weight that came by itself is boogered up on at least one corner. I won't take a point away because they offered to replace / send some touch up paint to address the issues.. However it is just a ding that does not need to be there.
Short of that these things are top notch
JWJohn W. - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoAmazing!
This is the best investment ever. I'm really glad I got the selectorized and the band pegs have come in very handy. I use them more than I thought. Not regrets at all
