Athena® - Side-Mount Functional Trainer Builder

The Athena® side-mount functional trainer is a low-profile cable attachment that integrates into the side of your PR-4000 or PR-5000 series power rack. Get the functionality of a functional trainer machine so you can build your body and get in accessory and isolation work, without needing space for a stand-alone unit. Save even more gym space with our In-rack, Off-rack, or Wing Add-on storage options. In addition, it provides a lower price point (and smaller footprint) than the Ares™ Attachment , which includes a lat pulldown and low row. The Athena® features a 2:1 pulley ratio, which means 20lbs feels like 10lbs. Choose between a plate-loaded or selectorized version. The plate-loaded version features weight horns that have a loadable length of 10.6" each and a max weight capacity of 540lbs (feels like 270lbs). The selectorized version utilizes weight stacks, each stack weighing 170lbs per side (feels like 85lbs) with the option to upgrade each stack to 220lbs (feels like 110lbs). The weight stacks feature hot-rolled steel plates with a 3% tolerance and a magnetic pin for quick and easy weight changes. Add bands, on either version, to the integrated band pegs on the base and headplate for added resistance.

The Athena® gives you the freedom to customize your rack's functionality by choosing either a left, right, or dual-sided setup. The patent-pending Athena® features a trolley that allows you to do cable work at any height on the upright and is lined with special plastic to protect it. The oversized pop-pin makes it easy to adjust with one hand. The trolley includes a pin for added security while in use. The Athena's® cables are made from high-quality, galvanized wire with a raw steel core. The pulleys are made from strong aluminum and the front pulleys have a 180-degree swivel for versatility when working outside the rack. The attachment comes with a urethane D Handle attachment and is compatible with a wide assortment of cable attachments .

Note: The plate-loaded Athena® cannot clear weight horns loaded with any size diameter plates. See FAQ for alternative weight horn configurations. The selectorized Athena® comes with six 2" spacers (per unit) for your rear storage weight horns. The weight stack cannot clear past standard 17.7" diameter plates without the use of the spacers. 

If you purchase a 4-Post 80" Athena® please be aware of the following:  The Logo Plate Crossmember restricts trolley height, affecting usable space for J-Cup placement. We would advise individuals use caution while squatting with the trolleys above the bar when unracking and reracking the barbell.*

*The multi-grip and globe grip pull-up bar are not compatible with the 4-Post selection.

*Not all attachments pictured are included. Read the configuration descriptions to see what is or is not included with each configuration.
