FAQS
The Ares™ 2.0 attachment is widely recognized as the best fully integrated functional trainer and lat pulldown/low row system that mounts directly onto your power rack. Now, you can experience the functionality of the Ares™ 2.0 attachment without requiring as much space or a separate freestanding rack. The Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 isn't just an innovative, space-saving cable machine attachment. It doubles as a half rack that mounts securely onto the wall, revolutionizing possibilities for compact gym spaces without compromising your training. Complete your setup with J-cups or Spotter Arms for barbell training, such as squats, rack pulls, and bench press.
Packed with versatile features typically reserved for high-end commercial gym equipment, this wall-mounted functional trainer combines a functional trainer, lat pulldown, low row, and half-rack station — all within a compact 2.5' footprint. An innovative winged-out plate storage upright provides convenient cable machine attachment storage without increasing depth, making it ideal for small home gyms. Independent dual weight stacks allow for both unilateral and bilateral training, as well as enabling two athletes to train simultaneously at different resistance levels or a single athlete to easily perform supersets without adjusting weights.
The dual selectorized weight stacks start at 260lbs each, with an upgrade option to 310lbs per stack (offering 155lbs of resistance each due to the 2:1 cable ratio). By securely mounting this cable machine directly to the wall, there's no need for mini-foot extensions, further maximizing space. The premium trolley design features plastic liners for easy, one-handed height adjustments, paired with aluminum pulleys and custom retainers to ensure a consistently smooth cable experience. An ultra-thin cable coating further enhances smoothness, while swivel pulleys for the lat pulldown extend outward, delivering a broader range of motion comparable to traditional standalone cable machines. The low-row cable is positioned slightly higher than most for improved ergonomics, whether you're seated on a bench or on the floor. The footplate is wide, angled for support and adjustable for maximum comfort.
When not in use, the front trolleys rest at the bottom of the uprights, freeing upright space — particularly beneficial for lifters using 80” uprights performing pressing or squatting exercises outside the rack. Independent dual weight stacks allow for both unilateral and bilateral training, as well as enabling two athletes to train simultaneously at different resistance levels or a single athlete to easily perform supersets without adjusting weights.
Product Highlights:
- •Space-Saving Design: At just 29 inches deep, this wall-mounted cable machine is ideal for small home gym setups where every inch counts.
- •Dual Selectorized Weight Stacks: 260lbs each stack, upgradeable to 310lbs each (with a 2:1 ratio), clearly labeled.
- •Ultimate Versatility: Functional trainer, lat pulldown, low row, and half-rack within a minimal footprint. Add the optional Pull-Up Bar Extension Brackets for a dedicated pull-up station without compromising your layout.
- •Premium Pulley System: Aluminum pulleys with a 180-degree swivel for smooth, multi-planar exercises that require multiple angles of motion, such as the Cable Wood Chop, Rotational Press, or Cable Lunge with Torso Twist.
- •Innovative Plate Storage: Optional wing-out upright efficiently stores plates and two barbells (one barbell tube stand per side) without adding depth.
- •Optimized Low Row: Higher cable positioning and adjustable footplate for improved ergonomics.
- •Enhanced Range of Motion: Expanded pulley positioning provides superior workout functionality.
- •Additional Organization: Add an optional pegboard with 12 hooks and a lat bar hanger to keep all your cable attachments organized, accessible, and off the floor.

SPACE-SAVING
At 29" from the wall, The Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 is significantly more space-efficient, saving 23" compared to the 4-Post Ares™ 2.0. -
WALL-MOUNTED STABILITY
When properly secured to the wall, the Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 offers unmatched stability, eliminating the need for front foot extensions. -
LAT AND SEATED ROW FEATURE
The Ares™ 2.0 attachment features both an integrated lat pulldown, as well as a seated row. This slightly higher cable point is more comfortable and functional than a low row and allows you to sit on a bench or the floor; your choice. Use the lat and seated row cables for isolation exercises, as well as standard, straight-bar movements. -
DUAL WEIGHT STACKS
Dual selectorized weight stacks can be upgraded to 310lbs each (feels like 155lbs each) and allow for unilateral and bilateral training without compromising cable length like with a single weight stack. Another advantage over a single stack is that your pull feels even because both hands aren't fighting to move the same stack. Weight stacks are turned 90 degrees and sit farther set back so there's more space inside the rack for incline bench and other movements. -
PULLEYS AND CABLES
The Ares™ 2.0 attachment features aluminum pulleys with custom retainers for a smoother pull. All pulleys have a 180-degree swivel for versatility and the ability to work outside the rack, and the 2.0 cables have a thinner coating that creates a smoother feel. -
IMPROVED FOOTPLATE
The new footplate design adjusts for multiple starting points; is much wider for more comfort and versatility; and is cut out on the sides so you can perfectly center your bench deeper in the rack for both incline and flat bench exercises. -
PATENT PENDING
Our innovative cable routing allows for extended travel, ensuring smoother movement and a greater range of motion. The integrated foot plate enhances stability and power transfer, while centered lower and upper pulleys provide balanced resistance for optimal biomechanics. Lightweight yet strong trolleys feature a knurled handle and oversized pop-pin for easy one-handed adjustments while supporting heavy loads, with protective plastic lining to prevent upright damage. These designs deliver a versatile, controlled, and high-performance training experience for all strength levels. -
PULL-UP BAR BRACKETS
Optional Pull-Up Bar Brackets allow you to add a pull-up bar, otherwise obstructed by the logo plate, front pulleys, and Lat Bar hangers. -
STORAGE OPTIONS
The optional storage wing adds plate storage, two barbell holders, and an optional peg board with 12 hooks and a Lat Bar hanger - enhancing rack functionality and organization without increasing wall depth.

Full-Body Cable Workout on the Ares Cable Machine
All you need is Ares™ attachment (for this workout, at least).
read full story
The Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 offers the slimmest set-up, extending just under 2.5 feet from the wall. This saves approximately 2 feet of space when compared to the standalone 4-Post Ares™ 2.0 with weight storage - which requires both front and rear mini feet for stability.
Yes, you can convert your existing Ares™ 2.0 to a Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0. You'll need the Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 Stringer for the conversion. If you currently have weight storage, you'll also need to purchase the wall-mounted specific weight storage - Storage Wings. It's important to note that you'll likely need to disassemble your Ares™ 2.0 or at least remove all weight plates to move it into its new wall-mounted position.
No, the Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 Stringer is specific to Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0.
With proper installation into wood studs, the Wall-Mount Ares™ 2.0 is rock-solid and does not need to be bolted down. However, for ultimate stability and security or extreme use-cases, users can choose to bolt down with concrete anchors.
Included Hardware: Hardware for mounting to 16" or 24" wood studs is included.
Concrete/Brick Installation: Hardware for concrete or brick is not provided, and we recommend installing into wood studs. However, installation into concrete or brick is possible with the correct hardware and tools.
The Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 was designed with leveled floors in mind. However, we know not all floors may be perfectly level, and there is room for the standard slope of a floor. For extremely unlevel floors, you may run into issues with installation – we recommend purchasing shims.
A standard 20kg Olympic Barbell that is stored in the Vertical Barbell Stand will be taller than the 80" uprights.
Yes, please refer to Wall-Mount Fixed Rack Builder for options without a cable system.
It is 106" wide with weight plates stored on the Weight Horns.
The Pull-Up Bar Extension Brackets with the Ares 2.0 4-Post Pull-Up Bar (a standard 1.25” diameter bar) is compatible with the Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0, allowing for a dedicated pull-up station.
Weight Horns: 10 Weight Horns for the 93" height - 5 per side, or 8 for the 80" height - 4 per side.
Barbell stands: 2 Vertical Barbell Stands
Yes, they are compatible, however the Wall-Mount Ares™ 2.0 comes with weight horns designed specifically for the application. These low-profile weight horns pair well with the Wall-Mount Ares™ 2.0 Weight Storage Uprights, and each weight horn takes up less space on the upright. In addition, the Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 Weight Horns are all 6" which gives the user more room for barbell work. A 12" weight horn may interfere with barbell work off the front of the rack.
The Peg Boards include 12 Hooks and a Lat Bar hanger.
Yes, you can add them later. While it requires some careful disassembly, it's a manageable task for two people.
No, while plates do overlap, the peg board's set-back design allows ample space for various cable attachments and other accessories behind them.
Yes, the Weight Storage Wings and Peg Boards can be attached to non-wall-mounted PR-5000 racks.
Note: These Peg Boards require the Weight Storage Wings.
Availability: This configuration option will be released soon on builders. You can purchase the storage wings and peg boards separately.
The Weight Storage Wings components are only available in Metallic Black.
The way it is currently configured, it will not be compatible with the Smith machine, but there will be future ways to convert your rack to allow it to be compatible.
Yes, both the ISO Arms and Spotter Arms are compatible. To use them, you must move the trolleys to the bottom and ensure the cables are out of the way.
