The left-sided and right-sided orientations are determined when facing the rack.

On selectorized equipment, you change the weight using a pin and weight stack, rather than adding plates (like the plate-loaded version of the Athena™).

Yes, but only if you purchase the Rear Base Stabilizer 2.0. The new RBS 2.0 mounts to the sides of the uprights instead of the rear. This allows the RBS 2.0 to not interfere with the stack or carriage that sits inside the 16" crossmembers. The RBS 2.0 also allows you to mount your safeties at a lower position.

If you have a 4-Post Athena™, you must mount the RBS 2.0 and lat pulldown and low row to the back uprights. 

The band peg on the weight stack cannot clear past standard 17.7” diameter plates without the use of the spacers. It can clear past smaller plates. The spacers also prevent you from pinching your fingers between the weight stack and the plates when loading onto the weight storage pins.

The plate-loaded Athena™ is ideal for the lifter looking for a lower-cost machine, owns a sizable plate collection, and is okay with creating an alternative weight storage solution to storing weights on the side of the rack.

The selectorized Athena™ is ideal for people who want the magnetic pin for quick and easy weight changes, want to continue to use their existing weight storage system, and don’t own a large plate collection. Both have a max weight capacity of 540lbs. The selectorized Athena™ can integrate bands to reach that max.

The side-mount functional trainer attachment adds 7.9” of depth to the front of your rack (trolley), 1.8” of height (top pulleys), and either 3.7” (PR-4000 bottom band peg) or 5.0” (PR-5000 trolley handle) of width.

Only the PR-4000 6-post and PR-5000 series power racks are compatible. For the PR-4000, you must have the updated 16” crossmembers with vertical holes. PR-5000 owners should verify they own the PR-5000 V2 power rack, which has 1” holes along the upright, whereas V1 has alternating 5/8” holes and 1” holes. The V1 was discontinued in 2020. The attachment is not compatible with the discontinued version.

The Athena™ is not compatible with any flat-footed rack configuration: Omni™, Apollo™, or HR-5000 V1.

No, crossmembers aren't included with purchase. For the PR-4000, you will need to upgrade the 16" crossmembers if the ones you currently own don't have vertical holes.

Yes. If you order an 80” rack, the 93” attachment will not be compatible. Vice versa, if you order a 93” rack, the 80” attachment will not be compatible.

We cannot guarantee compatibility due to machining/manufacturing differences between companies.

The lowest usable weight setting on the selectorized version is 10lbs.

The cable travel is 82.8” for the 80” attachment and 106” for the 93” attachment.

The Athena™ will ship ground or freight depending on quantity purchased (left, right, or dual-sided) or if the unit(s) are purchased in conjunction with other large/heavy items.

Structural welds on attachments and frames have a lifetime warranty. Pop-pins, pulleys, bearings, and cables have a one-year warranty.

Yes, but there will be rubbing with the cables.
