INDY Functional Trainer Add-On

The Rogue INDY Functional Trainer Add-On is an attachment kit, not a standalone machine or rack — it bolts a single-side (purchased per side) or Dual 2:1 cable functional trainer onto an existing Rogue Monster Rack 2.0 (RM4 or RM6), adding roughly an inch of height and no extra floor footprint. That’s the defining split from two similarly named Rogue products: the INDY Functional Trainer is the bundled, complete rack-plus-trainer version of the same cable system, and the Monster Rhino + INDY Functional Trainer further stacks a Rhino belt squat and lat-pulldown/low row on top of independently selectorized functional-trainer stacks. This Add-On is the leanest of the three — just the 2:1 cable system, sold to retrofit a rack a customer already has.

Two hands-on YouTube reviewers in the knowledge base both explicitly confirm they’re covering this exact retrofit configuration rather than the bundled unit. Iron and Lime Fitness’s Drew sold his all-in-one FM-6 Functional Trainer specifically to add the Dual Indy plus a separate standalone lat-pulldown tower, because the FM-6’s built-in 1:1 lat-pull column kept getting in the way — “it mounts directly onto the RM4 or the RM6…it becomes part of your rack, not just something sitting next to it.” Gluck’s Gym, who owns all four of Rogue’s rack cable add-ons for comparison, calls it “probably the smoothest cable system I’ve ever used,” crediting the aluminum pulleys on sealed bearings and UHMW-wrapped trolleys, while noting Rep’s Athena add-on undercuts it by roughly $500 with slightly lighter (110 lb vs. 150 lb) stacks and marginally less-smooth cables. As configured live on Rogue’s site (dual sides, 80” height, 24” depth, 250 lb stacks, no shrouds), the base price is $2,995 — dropping to $1,660 if only one side is purchased, and climbing past $5,000-$10,500 for taller, deeper, 300 lb, shroud-equipped, or stainless builds per two independent owner reports.

The honest limits are specific. The 2:1 pulley ratio caps felt resistance at 150 lb per side even on the largest 300 lb stack, so lifters chasing true 1:1 heavy pulling should look elsewhere; the rack runs 49” wide, about 2” wider than Rep, Sorinex, or Hammer Strength equivalents, noticeable on dual-arm moves like cable flies. It’s also not an ideal standalone lat-pulldown/low-row solution — one reviewer paired it with a separate cable tower rather than relying on the Indy alone for that role. Independent third-party evidence stays thin: GymRadar carries just a single owner review (4.67/5, praising the D-handles and a tidier rack back with the stacks out of the way), and Rogue’s own on-page “4.6 stars, 183 reviews” widget is pooled across the whole family of rack-mounted cable systems — spot-checking the visible reviews shows every one attributed to a different sibling product, so it isn’t reliable, SKU-specific signal. Net: a well-built, genuinely modular way to add independent unilateral cable training to a rack already owned, best suited to buyers assembling a custom setup piece by piece rather than shopping for an all-in-one bundle.
