Being that I am a true 6'7 I am so happy and pleased that you used a guy that height to display the Ares 2.0. If I didn't know any better, I could have thought that you, did it just for me. THANKS !!!!!
I am a 1.0 owner and I absolutely love it. I do wish I had a few of the 2.0 upgrades, but thats just a wish. I am super happy with my Ares. REP you keep bringing the industries best!!!
Awesome to see a video like this from the manufacturer going over all of the benefits and features of a piece of equipment like this. Says pretty much all I need to know!
@@REPfitness I'll definitely try and make my way out to one of the show rooms to try it. But they are very far, yall should consider making a showroom in Texas!
To have it adjustable 12-18” higher would be great. I have older clients who have a tough time getting up and down from the floor. I’d like to be able to have them lay on a bench and to do slightly weighted deadbug exercises using the pulleys. Or at least have some hooks or attachment options on the metal plate above those pulleys to attached resistant bands
@@JesseBaz-c6z With the higher low row pulleys, this should be feasible with ankle straps. Also, while just doing one leg at a time, the front trolleys have the ability to adjust to any height needed.
Looming to upgrade my existing set up to six post plus Ares 2.0. Currently have a two post set up with an Inspire FT-1. This will be quite an upgrade! Planning on ordering within a month or two.
I like that you added plastic to the pop pin. Sometimes hard to keep it pulled all the way in without scratching it moving it up and down. Wish i could add that feature to my 1.0.
We ordered the stainless steel at preorder and still waiting on it. They had massive issues manufacturing and they stainless clear coat options they still don’t know when it will be available. They told us no sooner that January 2025 and even that wasn’t a sure thing. So we paid for the PR-5000 and the Aries 2.0 and still haven’t gotten the Aries 🤷🏻♂️ great equipment but a 12 months preorder when we were to 2 months.
on the 4 post build with the short front stabilizer feet, is it safe enough to use with the spotter arm? Also on the 4 post can you out in pull up bar?
Ordered the 2.0 and the PR-5000. The rack arrived this past week, would you recommend getting this set up before the Ares ships in late Aug and leaving room for it in the back of the rack?
First, thank you! Second... If you don't already have a rack to lift on, I'd definitely start training sooner than later. Not too hard to take some of the PR-5000 apart. The Ares takes a bit more time to assemble, but we will have a detailed guide and follow along video.
@@REPfitness thanks, need to remove another piece of equipment before I'm ready for the PR-5000 but yeah, for peace of mind it would be nice to have it up before Ares 2.0 arrives. Don't want to assemble two racks at once and have an overdeveloped forearm from working a socket wrench!
Will there be a way to incorporate a belt squat system to this or are you guys in the works of a belt squat attachment for this? Got your utility bench and wished there was a hole pre-drilled from you guys to use that as a belt squat attachment as well.
Yes, more attachments will be made to further enhance an already awesome system. We're working on a few prototypes now, but can't say much more since so many companies are paying attention to what we say/do and trying to copy us.
Off topic, but does REP have any plans to build a leg curl/extension machine or a leg press/hack squat machine. Need to buy those for the home gym and really gonna regret buying one from a competitor if they release one in the next year. Looking forward to getting my Ares 2.0 by the way.
We are releasing a lot of new equipment this year and always improving our attachments- best way to stay up to date is through our newsletter if you aren't signed up yet!
@@REPfitness for me I'd be interested in a new design of the ISO Arms and belt squat. From a new feature request it would be leg press and a Smith Machine attachment. No rush though, if you want to wait until after the weekend to deliver on this that's cool.
Will the REP smith machine rack attachment be compatible with the Ares or will the front trolleys interfere with it? If it is compatible, will the smith attachment be able to utilize the weight stacks or will it be free weight only?
Bench and rack integrated ones are both being prototyped. We are close on the BlackWing! We wanted to make something that was better than anything else available.
Hey REP, when will Ares 2.0 will become available in Europe ? Soon i will buy PR5000 for my first homegym and i wanna know if i should wait for Ares 2.0 or go with the Athena maybe. Your products looks amazing, keep doing the great job !
which rep benches are compatible with the foot plate cutouts? Are these attachments you are teasing in the comments going to be available for both 1" and 5/8"?
Benches: BlackWing, AB-5200 2.0, and AB-3000 2.0 As for attachments... if you want to be 100% - we recommend the PR-5000 - the 4 way hole pattern on all the uprights and crossmembers and the beefier 1" hardware means there are no limitations on future attachments.
Yep, just make sure you choose the right one(s) - 2 for the 5000 series and 1 for the 4000 - repfitness.com/collections/rack-attachments/products/leg-roller-attachment
E-mail going out to original Ares owners. (not rebuyers) If you don't get it by tomorrow, please contact our CS team. It includes details about a 15% discount if you want to upgrade to the Ares 2.0. The original Ares is awesome, but for those who want the newest and best, we are helping with the transition.
Can you retrofit any of the parts from the Ares 1.0? The upgraded plate holder design would be desirable but don’t want to have to buy a whole new machine even with the discount.
How much height does this add to the PR-5000? I wanna purchase the 93” version but my ceiling is only 95”. Wanna make sure I have room to add this Ares 2.0 later on or will I have to purchase the 80” version instead.
It adds 1.6 inches I believe. The real question is how much clearance is needed to install the components of Ares 2.0 on the rack. I have 96” of clearance and I bought the 93” rack with Ares 2.0 so really hoping it’s doable!
@@johnmichaelperez Yes, that is my issue too. I got 8 (96") foot ceilings in my basement . Which is standard height in Canada. The other option is to buy the Rogue version which comes in at 91.5" total
Withough the weight stack upgrade, what is the total felt weight for each stack? Im 175 15% Body fat, im trying to decide if it would be good enough without the weight stach upgrade, and if i needed it in the future can i buy the upgrade?
Each weight stack is 260lb, felt weight 130lb by default, upgradeable to 310/155lb. You can purchase just the weight stack upgrade in the future if you'd like!
The new banana connector with swivel for both weight stacks and easy thumb screw ball swivel at the ends of all the pulleys would be great accessories to offer a 1.0 Ares owner? Any chance you will offer these parts for a discount purchase?
so I was in the market for a PR 4000 or PR 5000, but now seeing this and the Hyperion makes me feel like I shouldn't get the Power Rack any more. However, is it true that if I stick with the power rack for starters, I can always upgrade to the Ares 2.0 or Hyperion?
My garage is tiny. I wish the website had a true foot print in regards to depth. 16 +16 or 16+ 30. Is that the distance between bars or the true depth of the unit as a whole. Help.
Thank you and yes! We are launching REP EU later next month - be the first to know when we go live by joining our email list here: repfitness.com/pages/rep-europe Also some FAQ's on that page.
Will this be available in Australia? Espcially the 80” version? I emailed the official distributor (gym and fitness) and they said they don’t do 80” setups but my ceiling is not that high so idunno what to do now. I also really want this setup especially in clear coat but that’s not possible for Australians is it? 😢
We try to get as much equipment to our authorized distributors as we can. Ask the distributor near you and they can get in contact with our team to see if we can bring the equipment near you!
If you can squeeze the 93" rack - and the Ares 2.0 adds a bit more on top of that... I'd definitely recommend that route. However, 80" will work if that is the height limit you have. I'd recommend getting spotter arms too, so you can workout on the front of the rack too.
@repfitness I’d like to know if one could mate an Adonis with a single Athena to create a balanced functional trainer, with a dedicated 1:1 Lat Pull/Low Row….?
The measurements for the Athena and Adonis are different so they will not be perfectly parallel to each other. You can mount them together but the Adonis will stick out farther than the Athena
Wondering the same thing, worth the price of a few pin holes to keep lever arms on the rack. You'd want articulating arms so the cables don't get in the way.
man…. REP keeps teasing me with all these videos and posts. Can I just order it already😭. Can I help finish up the EU website?😂 We are waiting man!!!!!!! yall just made me more excited 😆

Are there any plans to make this compatible with other rear crossmember lengths? I have a 6-post setup with a 24" rear crossmember, 30" front. Would love to add the Ares 2.0 to that config
Rep, plz plz plz let us build a rack in Army Green. I have one of your benches in that color and I LOVE it. I want an Ares 2.0 SO BAD, but I want to put it on an Army Green rack. 😭
Our Customer Support team will be happy to create a quote for you if you wanted to call/text/email in. Believe its the 93" uprights, 16" crossmembers along with the 30"
Does the PR-4000 version come with the 16 inch crossmembers or do you need to buy them? I have the older version where there aren't holes on the top side of the crossmembers.
You need new 16” back cross members for sure. Rep will not offer those for free. I’m afraid we will also need to update the front cross members, there is a pulley that uses a top hole. @repfitness, could you please validate my assumption, please

Hello our Italian friend! We are working to launch in REP EU later next month - see this page for more details and to sign up to be the first to know - repfitness.com/pages/rep-europe
After we get rolling in the USA with it, we'll be rolling it out to Fitness Super Store - our official UK distributor. Hopefully it will be available to order there later this year. repfitness.com/pages/international-distribution
Since we made so many changes- there is no way to upgrade the first version. We are offering a percent off to original Ares owners if you wish to upgrade to 2.0!
When do you expect to ship Ares 2.0 to Europe? Very urgent. There's already people here waiting for Ares 2.0. Here only have Force USA. I want to change.
Short answer: hopefully later this year or at the latest, early next year. Long answer: This question is a bit more complex. However, our strategy right now is to roll out brand new products in the USA and ensure the quality and feedback is perfect. Why do we take this approach? Our goal is always to have an extremely high quality standard, but sometimes mistakes happen. We have a staff of over 200+ in the USA along with a large team who works to keep our quality standards high at both our factories and distribution centers. If anything isn't correct, we are able to take corrective action in the USA and at our factories. This ensures as we ramp up production and release our brand new products globally, we have worked out any potential issues. We are passionate about what we do, and our goal is to get our awesome brand new equipment into as many hands possible as fast as possible. dk.repfitness.com/pages/rep-europe-faq
@@REPfitness you have a very respectful brand with excelent brand equity. Hope your values never change. I'm also an entrepreneur in health department. When the moment comes, we talk.
@@REPfitness I used the Ares 1.0 video and paused it as I went. I had no helper when I put Ares 1.0 together. Did it by myself. Ares 2.0 does look easier to assemble from looking at the 3-D views. For instance, there isn't two cross beams between the rear and middle crossmembers like Ares 1.
So you say the back is 0.6 extra from the post. But, on your site building out a 4 post. The image shows it having to use a stabilizer leg in the back as well as stabilizer in the front. Where as in this 6 post video , your 0.6 away ? So what is it?
Apologies if anything is confusing. We try to be as clear as possible, but it's always difficult with how customizable our racks are. Our team is always happy to walk through build outs, questions, etc. - repfitness.com/pages/contact-us You can bolt down the 4 post, which then wouldn't need the stabilizer legs. The 6 post rack doesn't need to be bolted down, so that is where both options could/do have a minimal additional footprint.
@@REPfitness I talked to your customer service in regards to the height max of this 93 inch rack was 93.9. Was told Ares adds 0.9 inches. Your video , states it adds 1.6 " total. So, that would be 94.6 ". Could you confirm ?
After REPs announcement that they will establish a present in Europe 2024, I hope the Area 2.0 will be available as well. Really want to get my hands on one 👀

Really solid breakdown
Just realised there’s 4 pulleys instead of 2 in the suspended middle part of the build. Reasoning behind this? I assume less twisting and more beef
Less twisting and the way the cables are now positioned on the rack to also make a smoother pull.
Any chance for a 90in upright version?
Lol nice try
If i do the 4 post setup do i have to use the front foot extensions?
we do recommend it unless you are bolting down the rack

Wondering the same thing, worth the price of a few pin holes to keep lever arms on the rack. You'd want articulating arms so the cables don't get in the way.

No plans just yet- our team is always trying to improve for our customers though! Hopefully in the future we will be able to offer this!
Rep, plz plz plz let us build a rack in Army Green. I have one of your benches in that color and I LOVE it. I want an Ares 2.0 SO BAD, but I want to put it on an Army Green rack. 😭
coming SOON!!!
Could you still do Jammer arms with the ares attachments?
You can still add them but it will have to be stored at the top or bottom of the upright!
Just needs a Smith Machine Attachment and it will be awesome
I'm trying to recreate the full setup shown in this video in the rack builder on the website. What options were used?
Me too
Our Customer Support team will be happy to create a quote for you if you wanted to call/text/email in. Believe its the 93" uprights, 16" crossmembers along with the 30"
Does the PR-4000 version come with the 16 inch crossmembers or do you need to buy them? I have the older version where there aren't holes on the top side of the crossmembers.
You need new 16” back cross members for sure. Rep will not offer those for free. I’m afraid we will also need to update the front cross members, there is a pulley that uses a top hole. @repfitness, could you please validate my assumption, please
@repfitness could anyone tell me the exact dimensions and rack customizations. I would like this exact setup! Thanks
Our customer support team can help you with dimensions! You can call, text, chat or email at the bottom of our webpage!
Do you guys have smith bar machine for the home?
We do not at this time- releasing a lot of new products in the future. Best way to stay up to date is through our newsletter!
@@REPfitness send me the link please. I need to buy it from your company. I live in San Diego. Thank you 🙏🏻

I’m interested in buying it asap but I live in Italy 🇮🇹 can you please let me know how can I order it.
thanks
Hello our Italian friend! We are working to launch in REP EU later next month - see this page for more details and to sign up to be the first to know - repfitness.com/pages/rep-europe
When will this be available to order in UK and what would be estimated delivery date?
After we get rolling in the USA with it, we'll be rolling it out to Fitness Super Store - our official UK distributor. Hopefully it will be available to order there later this year. repfitness.com/pages/international-distribution
When is it going to start shipping ? Does the California showroom have it on the floor ?
None at the showroom just yet- the shipping date will be listed on the page when you build the Ares 2.0 and add it to your cart!
@@REPfitness isn't letting us pick the height currently for the rack . It just stays blank
Love this setup! Quick question, is this a 16+30 setup being shown or a 16+41?
41+16 on a 93" rack!
is the rear base stabilizer required?
No
Any way to improve the v1? I dint want to move or repurchase
Since we made so many changes- there is no way to upgrade the first version. We are offering a percent off to original Ares owners if you wish to upgrade to 2.0!
When do you expect to ship Ares 2.0 to Europe? Very urgent. There's already people here waiting for Ares 2.0. Here only have Force USA. I want to change.
Short answer: hopefully later this year or at the latest, early next year.
Long answer: This question is a bit more complex. However, our strategy right now is to roll out brand new products in the USA and ensure the quality and feedback is perfect. Why do we take this approach? Our goal is always to have an extremely high quality standard, but sometimes mistakes happen. We have a staff of over 200+ in the USA along with a large team who works to keep our quality standards high at both our factories and distribution centers. If anything isn't correct, we are able to take corrective action in the USA and at our factories. This ensures as we ramp up production and release our brand new products globally, we have worked out any potential issues. We are passionate about what we do, and our goal is to get our awesome brand new equipment into as many hands possible as fast as possible.

we are shooting for next year on this- trying to get as much equipment out as we can to EU
@@REPfitness you have a very respectful brand with excelent brand equity. Hope your values never change. I'm also an entrepreneur in health department. When the moment comes, we talk.
I'm in Australian and just placed a deposit on a PR-5000 + Ares 2.0 via Gym and Fitness.
Any idea when they'll be delivered to Aus? 😀
Hey mate, same situation! Any reason you didn’t go for rogue FM?
@andrewnguyen5820 Just not really a fan of Rogue. 😀
Trying to get as much equipment as we can to our authorized distributors- hopefully next year we can get it to you!
Does anyone know if this is 41" + 16" or 30" + 16"?
This is the 41" + 16"
Rep! 💪🏼
Are you going to make a video on how to assemble Ares 2.0, like you did for the original Ares?
We are planning on it!
@@REPfitnessWill the cables be easier to route? It was tedious having to remove pulleys on Ares 1.0.
@@markhalstead2386 The cable routing is pretty similar to the original Ares- hopefully having a how to video will help with this!
@@REPfitness I used the Ares 1.0 video and paused it as I went. I had no helper when I put Ares 1.0 together. Did it by myself.
Ares 2.0 does look easier to assemble from looking at the 3-D views. For instance, there isn't two cross beams between the rear and middle crossmembers like Ares 1.
@@markhalstead2386 they are pretty similar on how they are set up just some orientations are different
Can I add a smith machine to Ares 2.0?
So you say the back is 0.6 extra from the post. But, on your site building out a 4 post. The image shows it having to use a stabilizer leg in the back as well as stabilizer in the front. Where as in this 6 post video , your 0.6 away ? So what is it?
Apologies if anything is confusing. We try to be as clear as possible, but it's always difficult with how customizable our racks are. Our team is always happy to walk through build outs, questions, etc. - repfitness.com/pages/contact-us
You can bolt down the 4 post, which then wouldn't need the stabilizer legs. The 6 post rack doesn't need to be bolted down, so that is where both options could/do have a minimal additional footprint.
@@REPfitness I talked to your customer service in regards to the height max of this 93 inch rack was 93.9. Was told Ares adds 0.9 inches. Your video , states it adds 1.6 " total. So, that would be 94.6 ". Could you confirm ?
@@gunsmokezz The way the brackets sit on the Crossmembers and the actual height of the rack - it will be 93.9" total height
Are those posts matte black?
Yes they are matte black!
When you bringing to Australia?
Early next year- check out our authorized distributors here -- repfitness.com/pages/international-distribution -
After REPs announcement that they will establish a present in Europe 2024, I hope the Area 2.0 will be available as well. Really want to get my hands on one 👀
Our team is working hard on getting the website 100% up and running- within the upcoming month and the Ares 2.0 will be available!
what is the depth of the one shown?
This is our 16+30 rack with 93" uprights
Hi guys, what is the footprint of the rack you are using?
This is our PR-5000 in 30" lifting area and 16" add-on for the Ares/weight storage.
When is this coming to Europe? Very interested in this but not sure you cover Spain at the moment!
