Athena® Wall-Mounted Side-Mount Functional Trainer

The wall-mounted Athena®side-mount functional trainer is a low-profile cable attachment that is integrated into a 5000 series wall-mount fixed rack. Achieve a full-body workout using the multifunctional capabilities of a functional trainer machine and power rack without requiring the space for separate stand-alone units. 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. Each stack weighs 170lbs per side (feels like 85lbs) with the option to upgrade each stack to 220lbs (feels like 110lbs). It features hot-rolled steel plates with a 3% tolerance and a magnetic pin for quick and easy weight changes.

What is a Rack?

What a squat/folding rack is

Racks in this category trade the full four-post cage for a smaller footprint — wall-mounted fold-back racks and half-racks that squat and press without swallowing a room. A fold-back rack hinges flat against the wall between sessions, making it the go-to for shared garages. Prioritize 3x3 or Monster Lite uprights and 11-gauge steel so “space-saving” doesn’t mean “wobbly,” and confirm your wall studs can anchor it.
