REP Fitness Ares™ - Builder - ARES-ATTACHMENT
The Ares™ attachment is known as a leader in the fitness world as the best, fully integratedand 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.
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 beto 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.
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
Features
Patent-Pending Design
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.
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.
Dual Weight Stacks
Dual selectorized weight stacks can be 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.
