Athena® Plate-Loaded Side-Mount Functional Trainer

Athena® Plate-Loaded Side-Mount Functional Trainer

The Athena® plate-loaded 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 upper 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 weight horns have a loadable length of 10.6” each and a max weight capacity of 540lbs (feels like 270lbs). 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 a special plastic to protect them.

The Athena was not terrible to add, but I did have some issues with one side having sticky guide rods. I did get them replaced no questions asked by Rep, however, and they worked better afterwards. The trolleys are fine, but they don't have any rollers. They're not as smooth as others, but I haven't had an issue adjusting with one hand. For plate loaded FTs, it's fine, but if you can afford it at once, just get the selectorized one.
