Monster Rhino + INDY Functional Trainer

The Monster Rhino + INDY Functional Trainer is the top tier of Rogue’s three-way Rhino Trainer configurator, dropping into a Rogue Monster Rack 2.0 section (24”, 30”, or 43” deep) to combine a Rhino belt squat, a 1:1 plate-loaded lat pulldown and low row, and a genuinely independent 2:1 functional trainer in one footprint. It sits above the plain Monster Rhino Functional Trainer, which shares the same belt-squat/lat-pulldown layout but keeps the functional-trainer trolleys plate-loaded off that same single weight source, and above the Monster Rhino Rack Trainer, which drops the functional trainer entirely and keeps only the belt squat, lat pulldown, and low row. What makes this configuration different is the two front trolleys running on their own selectable 250lb or 300lb weight stacks (a 2:1 ratio, so 125lb or 150lb felt resistance per side) instead of sharing the Rhino’s plate-loaded trolley — a genuinely selectorized functional trainer bolted to a belt squat, not just a bundled name. It shouldn’t be confused with the standalone INDY Functional Trainer or the Monster Rhino Belt Squat - Stand Alone, which are separate, un-combined products sold on their own pages.

Owner reviews on GymRadar and Rogue’s own storefront converge on genuine praise for what the combo delivers: an owner who bought the 6-post, dual-INDY configuration called it the “best purchase ever,” and a Reviews To Rambles teardown that benchmarks it directly against a Rep PR-5000 with Dual Athena stacks found Rogue’s 150lb-per-side felt resistance meaningfully stronger than Rep’s 110lb-per-side maximum, with smoother pulleys and a more premium finish throughout. Build quality earns a clean 5.00/5 from GymRadar’s three reviewers, and the underlying Rhino belt squat carries a well-established reputation as one of the best on the market.

The honest limits are specific and repeatedly documented, not vague. On a 90” rack, the functional trainer’s high attachment point measures only about 67.5” — roughly 10.5” lower than a comparable Rep rack — which the Reviews To Rambles owner found bad enough for overhead work that he eventually sold the unit; Rogue doesn’t publish this number itself, so budget for a 100” rack if overhead pressing or pulling matters to you. A second, independently-reported limitation: the Rhino platform makes in-rack incline benching impossible, forcing a workaround at the front uprights that one GymRadar owner called bad enough to justify buying a second rack. The shared Rhino trolley also draws recurring squeak and uneven-roll complaints from two independent owners. At roughly $8,170 as configured — the priciest of the three Rhino Trainer tiers — this is a premium, space-efficient answer for a garage gym that genuinely needs belt squat, lat pulldown, and selectorized functional-trainer capability in one footprint, not a default pick if a taller rack or a simpler standalone setup would do the job for less.
