The Athena® side-mount functional trainer is a low-profile cable attachment that integrates into the side of your 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. 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. 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 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.
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 (sold separately) placement. We would advise individuals use caution while squatting with the trolleys above the bar when unracking and reracking the barbell.*
*Please note that TFUSA is offering the basic Athena set ups without additional accessories. If you wish to use the rack as a squat rack as well, you will need to purchase J-cups separately. Additional accessories may also be purchased to fully customize your Athena build. Example set ups shown for reference only. Smith Machine attachment, Lat/Low row, multi-grip pull up, and j-cups are all sold separately to fully customize your Athena to suit your unique needs.
