Hyperion™ Series

FAQ

What’s the difference between a cable crossover and a compact functional trainer?

A full cable crossover offers wider, walk‑through training angles and more room for bilateral movements, while compact dual‑pulley trainers save floor space with similar exercise variety. REP’s Hyperion™ Series is a full crossover built for broad movement options in serious training spaces.

How much space and ceiling height do I need for a cable crossover?

Plan for the unit’s footprint plus extra clearance on both sides for flyes/rows and overhead space for the uprights or pull-up bar. Measure doorways and pathways to ensure smooth delivery and installation.

What should I consider when choosing a cable machine for my gym or studio?

Look for smooth pulleys, ample height adjustments, clear weight labeling, sturdy construction, and stacks and pulley ratios that fit your users. REP Fitness designs equipment for intuitive adjustments and versatile training; see our guide to choosing a cable machine.

What is a pulley ratio and why does it matter?

Pulley ratio determines how the stack weight “feels” at the handle (e.g., a 2:1 ratio makes 100 lb feel like 50 lb), impacting progression and exercise selection. For a quick explainer, read our overview of what cable ratios mean.

Which attachments are most useful with a cable crossover?

Common staples include single D‑handles, a rope, a long bar, and an ankle cuff to cover presses, pulls, rotations, and lower‑body work. REP Fitness offers a wide range of cable attachments so you can tailor your Hyperion setup to your training style.
