FAQ
What does the REP ARES™ system add to a PR-4000 or PR-5000 rack?
The REP ARES™ turns your compatible REP rack into a rack‑integrated functional trainer with dual adjustable pulleys, dedicated weight stacks, and built‑in lat pulldown and low row — all in one footprint. For a quick primer, see our guide on what a functional trainer is.
How do I pick the right REP ARES™ option for my setup?
Match the REP ARES™ to your rack series (PR‑4000 or PR‑5000), rack height (80" or 93"), depth, and whether you run a 4‑post, 6‑post, or wall-mounted layout. REP ARES™ systems are purpose‑built by REP Fitness for our racks and aren’t designed for non‑REP frames.
What’s the difference between REP ARES™ 2.0 Builder and the weight stack upgrades?
REP ARES™ 2.0 Builder is the full, integrated cable system; the REP ARES™ and REP ARES™ 2.0 weight stack upgrades let you increase or fine‑tune the resistance on compatible existing REP ARES™ setups.
How much space and ceiling height should I plan for?
Allow for your rack footprint plus extra room behind and to the sides for cable travel and exercise range, and ensure ceiling height clears your rack (80" or 93") with a bit to spare for pulldowns. For layout ideas, check our tips to organize your Ares‑equipped gym.
What cable ratio do REP ARES™ systems use, and how does that affect resistance?
REP ARES™ uses a 2:1 cable ratio, so the handle feels like half the selected stack weight; dual stacks and available REP weight stack upgrades give you both higher top‑end loads and precise micro‑adjustments.
