REP Fitness Ares™ - 2.0 Builder - ARES-2-ATTACHMENT

The Ares™ attachment is known as a leader in the fitness world as the best, fully integrated  and lat pulldown/low row that attaches right onto your power rack. But our Colorado-based engineering team wanted to make the best even better. Inspired by customer feedback and our relentless growth mindset, meet the Ares™ 2.0 cable attachment.video to see how we stack up against the competition 

INTEGRATION, UNILATERAL & BILATERAL TRAINING, TWO ATHLETES

Like the original, the Ares™ 2.0 attachment connects to your existing  or power rack, saving major space by bringing a ton more versatility and cable exercises inside the rack, while preserving the original functionality of the rack. The Ares™ 2.0 attachment features dual 260lb selectorized weight stacks that can be  to 310lbs each (feels like 155lbs each). This allows for both unilateral and bilateral training. This feature utilizing swivel pulleys is typically found on high-end commercial machines, but we've integrated it into the Ares™ at a more accessible price point, without compromising its premium functionality. In addition, the independent stacks allow two athletes to train on the Ares™  cables simultaneously with separate resistance levels for each, or a single athlete to superset exercises off each trolley without having to change weights between each set.

HIGHER LOW ROW & NEW FOOTPLATE DESIGN

The Ares™ 2.0 attachment features an integrated lat pulldown feature, as well as a seated row, which is new for the 2.0. 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; it's your choice. Use the lat and seated row cables for unilateral exercises, as well as standard straight-bar movements. The improved footplate design is angled at the top to provide support while sitting on a bench and adjusts for multiple starting points for better foot positioning. The footplate is also wider on the 2.0 for more comfort and versatility, with the cables in the middle of your feet rather than outside like the original. Lastly, there is a cutout on the sides so you can perfectly center your REP bench (deeper in the rack for both incline and flat bench exercises. We also rotated the weight stacks 90 degrees and pushed them farther back to create even more usable space inside the rack for benching and use of the 

SMOOTH FEEL & BROADER RANGE OF MOTION

The Ares™ 2.0 attachment features trolleys that are designed with a smooth, plastic liner that’s easy to adjust up and down with one hand. We also moved the swiveling front trolley pulleys a couple more inches further out which provides a greater range of motion that’s more comparable to a traditional, stand-alone functional trainer. This also provides a greater range of motion that’s more comparable to a traditional, stand-alone functional trainer. The front and lat/seated row pulleys all swivel, making movements more versatile and ergonomic, a feature only seen on high-end commercial cable machines. The upgraded cables have a thinner coating that creates a smoother feel. Hot-rolled steel plates with a machined finish assure consistent and durable weights that the magnetized pin slides into smoothly.
