Glad they confirmed the incline bench problems in the rack. Honest and answered a big question in my head.
I incline press at a 30 degree angle and if you also have a monolift, it probably won’t be an issue.
@@dejavu3655 41" rack solves this too. Or the 4 post Ares with spotter arms for minimal footprint and benching
Could likely make an attachment that brings the j cups out further!
@@sisufitness659 the iso arms with j-cups
She's a beaut Clark!
Coop! You dropping A reaction vid to this soon?
I was gonna buy this but the weight stacks don’t go up to 900lbs so I’m out.
@@DrDoke I believe you are joking... haha
They had you at “knurled handles” and “laser cutout”.
For real though, a solid, functional product/design.
(Very similar to something I’ve been designing myself, though I plan on building mine for about 1/1000th of the cost and having slightly more functionality.)
Can you guys make Iso Arm 2.0 that move as easily as the Ares. They are a pain in the ars to change positions.
Beat thing I'm loving about those 6 connection points is I can connect all my attachments and preset my heights before I begin my workout. Then zoom through it effortlessly
Just sold me to REP Fitness….I just bought the PR5000 with the Ares!!
Perfect solution for my small 225 sqft home gym...dropped the order on Saturday for my PR5000 and ARES. Cannot wait!
This rack build looks incredible. Definitely bookmarking it for when I move into a new home with space.
Looking good
please review this for us :)
I live in Canada and the exchange is terrible but I need this set up in my life😄. It solves the footprint issue of 2 additional pieces of equipment, and any cable issue I'd have plus the best design I've ever seen. Keep up the great work REP.
Thanks Terrance! Working to make all of our equipment available there. I understand shipping/exchange is tough, but we can only control so much... as you know.
This looks great! I will probably switch from Rogue to Rep rack for my next gym build.
Thinking the same thing. Rogue is falling behind.
Just bought a Rogue rack that I'm still waiting on for 3 weeks
@@Scrappyjr14 There is still time... ;)
Can’t this technically go on 90” Rouge Rack?
@@keredmieles Rogue racks are wider and also, Rep does not have a 90" rack Ares configuration (80" and 93"), so it is no either way.
Please let the family know when the 1 Ares start shipping out so we can get excited
Great video explaining pretty much all aspect of the cable attachment. I could be wrong, but using Gym Pins you might also be able to add additional weight to the stack.
Wow! I didn’t know about Gym Pins for adding weight until I just read this. Amazing. Thank you. 🙏😁👌
This attachment looks amazing! Great work.
Rep been killin rogue
Take my money!! :D really amazing stuff guys :) been waiting close to 2 years for you to expand over to England, but once that finally happens, I am really looking forward to making an entire whole gym primarily REP Fitness 🤩
I was planning to put more in my roth ira before the 2021 cutoff but.... let's just say ORDER CONFIRMED 👍 😏
Why did I go with a rogue rack instead? This is what I’ve been waiting for!!!!
Nice work. The Ares looks amazing!
Ordered!
It would be nice to get the pro series handles included with the Ares instead of the basic black plastic handles.
Just ordered a PR 5000v2 and Ares. You guys are killing it with the new releases.
Thank you Mark!
Ordered additional weight stack to seal the deal. Then 2 days later I actually ordered the Ares. Gonna be awesome
Going to be epic!
REP City baby. The new King's. Great Work
I am drooling 🤤!
Now, I am motivated to clean out my garage to build out my gym!
Hey REP, I would like to see how easy this is to adjust the weight pins with weight horns and plate storage attached. Also, I would love to see the ability to order the mountain cutout design in the shroud cover.
The selector pin sits exactly at the mid point of the 16" cross over. The weight horn center will be 8+1.5" or 9.5" from the Ares selector pins. An Olympic plate is around 17.72" in diameter and one half of that diameter would extend toward the selector pins. One half the diameter is 8.86", which is less than the 9.5" distance from the selector pin. At the widest part of the plate, it will be 0.64" of distance to the selector pin, however the plate is curved so really it would be that minimum distance at one point.
Thanks for the over view. REP is leading the way in new innovations for 2022! Looking forward to the trap bar and SSB.
I was already designing the "banana" in my head before they showed it. Glad that was thought through even though I do enjoy the time in my workshop.
You do metal work?
@@oaktree1626yeap just at a hobby level though.
@@runiniscrazy Nice. Always love seeing that at any level.
Would have been nice to see examples of range of motion on a 80" Rep rack PR-5000
Yea forsure because i also have iso arms in the front so id like to see how much play and adjustments.. Now im just gonna have to wing it and find out later in August smh..
80 inch rack those iso arms prob gotta go
@@bigvin29 we’ll see, i love having the iso arms.. i waited a year for this as well.
been loving all of their products !! just wish they would show more love to the 1000-1100 series - STILL LOVE IT THO!
keep up the awesome work !
Absolutely beautiful, dream power rack
I ordered mine right when I got the email saying it was available. Looking forward to adding it to my garage gym.
Man, now I want to buy the rack so I can get the Ares
Low key quality of life improvement with using the stickers on the weight stacks in the weight felt and not listing the stack weight. Great thoughtfulness there
When will preorder start? Take my money !!
Today!
My big concern is can you still do lat pulldowns using a normal bench if you have an 80” rack? It doesnt look like that would be possible
We'll be showcasing a lot more info in the weeks/months coming. Collecting a lot of this type of feedback so we can showcase it in videos/photos.
Love this!
Have a couple of questions!
1) The cables seems to get twisted sometimes, any solution to this?
2) My cables are not very smooth, feels "gritty", do you know what are the possible reasons?
I just want to upgrade my plate loaded to a weight stack for my current REP lat/low row. Will there be a future option for this? Especially for many of us that already have a separate functional trainer.
They hint at this around in the Q and A portion of the video. short answer yes but it will be different so also maybe but they are working on it.
Yes it's called the Ares
Yes it is coming this year
What about the weight horns on the back of the rack, will I have to remove them?
Same thought I had, wonder if they’ll interfere
They should be fine all the cables follow the line of the rack assuming your horns are on the furthest rear upright
The pulleys look to be in front of the rear columns, so it looks like weight horns will fit fine.
Totally fine
I love how they assume we're all using horse stall mats instead of official "gym" flooring. They're right of course.
This is too good to be true!!! I LOVE it!!!!!!
If I buy the Ares, will weight storage still work on my PR5000?
It didn’t look like any cables or pulleys get in the way from the pics on the website
@@BrandonSchwartz1 It looks like the travel of double pulley might need the space where the weight horn bolts sit. But its hard to tell for sure.
Weight storage still works
When is version w coming out (with the low row being a little higher)
Not compatible with the omni? Are there any plans for one that would work on that?
BOOM!!!!! Looks just monstrous!
Great job by all the Rep Fitness engineers who designed the ARES System. BRAVO!! It's an amazing piece of equipment except for the D handle that came with the ARES System. That's the only negative thing about the ARES System for me.
The red pin which came with the ARES System broke tonight while I was working out.
this is insane. I am buying this day one!!
Just ordered.
July is over. Can't believe these will be shipping out in August
I'm really excited for this product, enough to ditch my rm6 if rogue doesn't offer a similar product soon. Like the back and forth between the guys in the video, didn't notice his rebuttal @ 8:43 until the third time watching.
One more thing. The ability to ad a pull up station, especially that SWEET GLOPE one would be great for for the stand alone 16” configuration. GREAT PEACE!
What if the bench locked into the rack so you could do seated rows on the bench. Of course the foot plate would have to be higher and possibly bigger. An engineering problem for sure but interesting to think about.
I like it, I feel like the lat pull down pulleys should be extended farther out above your head so you are not being pulled forward into the machine but I still think it's a good product and in the running for what I am looking for.
Just gonna wait for the plate loaded lat/low row upgrade. Looks great though!
It would be nice to have a smith machine in it inside the rack and a center bracket attachment for the benching
Flaming Joe and calling him petite was the best part of this video🤣🤣
I know it’s a late question but you said it works with the belt squat attachment. Does it still work with the cable catch so you can start the belt squat at the top position? I know the first plates will be raised before you can add more weight. Is there a solution?
So it sounds like if you go with the 4-post 16" option, there isn't enough room to incline bench (in other words you need at least the 16" + 16" 6 post design). Is that correct?
Looks pretty awesome!
Stoked for this but when’s that Yoke getting released!?!
Soon! Within the next few months
@repfitness maybe this could be adapted to the PR1100 series 🙏 but instead make it a plate loaded Ares 😁
Man I wish you guys would ship to Canada!
Summer!
Very exciting Rep team. I look forward to adding it to my PR 5000 rack in the future! Can't pre-order now. But should supply of it be fine late 2022 and into 2023 after August?
Also, what is the reasoning behind 2:1 ratio? Is 1:1 ratio achievable but there is a reason to not do that?
Hey Mike! We just know people really wanted to get their order in now. Supply chains are crazy these days, and as we sell out quantities, we'll put another date up after August when the next batch will be ready. (Our engineers can better answer this, but if I recall correctly... 1:1 can't be done with a moveable pulley system)
Is there any information regarding the lubrication of any of the equipment.
Question / Comment- After watching the video again and again it looks like the Rep Logo Crossmember on the PR4000 is different ! So will a NEW one come with the Ares ? I would like to see an installation video and I bet other buyers would too.
So glad I looked into the ares before getting the lat attachment. My only concern is the compatibility between the banana and the low row? Any clarifications on this?
The low row has it's own piece that can be used for low rows but also a center attachment so you can use more single point attachments.
The video states the AREAS adds 3 and 3/4" to the height of the rack. Is this true? Documentation on Rep Fitness website says 1.2" only. Looking to install the 93" ARES rack in a 96" height limited space...which is the correct spec? thanks!
Is that the leg roller being used for the lat pull-down at the 7:39 mark? The leg roller (even if you buy 2) for the PR5000 still seems too short at 20" each with a rack width of 47" (i think that's the 5000 inside width). Are there other options available for a leg holder?
Yes, this will be a huge oversight. I don't think the leg rollers will work with the Ares since the space between the weight stack and the uprights are around 5 inches (look at the 12:43 mark) . The leg holder in the 7:39 mark is an entirely new product that's not even for sale. That leg holder must be available at launch or lat pull down will not work.
Edit: Let me take that back. If you have the flip down safeties and 2 leg rollers, it will work. The reason why I think it will work is if you look at the Selectorized video (th-cam.com/video/XzvjOaOJBI0/w-d-xo.html) the guy in the video uses two leg rollers.
@@oldschoolcoolgamefan2650 Thank you for that link. I appreciate it!
If you have the flip down safeties, you can use those for the rollers to set you further back, that being said yes they are too short, I am planning on buying some large PVC pipe to actually slide over them both to create kind of my own lap bar if that makes sense.
@@LordTrolled I had a similar thought about getting a little more room but not the PVC pipe. I think that's a good idea. Thanks!
Make this available in Canada please!
I think it's gonna be best if I just put my ISO arms on the hack of my rack
When will it ship? Will you be charged upon pre-order or when it ships?
Shipping in August!
@@REPfitness charged now or when it ships?
@@aweezy90 you’re asking the right questions lol
@@sonofashepherd6668 I was told via dm that you will be charged at the time you place the order.
@@aweezy90 They charge now
What is he using for a seat with the lat pulldown? Mine arrives soon and I’m still not clear how I’m going to set up for a lat pulldown.
Are the front foot extensions still compatible? I see you're showing a rack without them.
With all that weight on the back I doubt you'll need them
Yes they are!
So, it's now the end of August, when is it shipping?
Will you’re feet fit if you bench inside the rack since the low row feet attachment is there?
Freaking awesome!
Can the front globe grip pull-up bar will work on ares
Love it!
I just posted my rogue rack for sale lol I think it’s time to upgrade
What is the total height with the Aries attachment on the 93” rack?
Added Height
1.2"
Added Width
PR-4000: 1.6" & PR-5000: 5.0"
Added Depth
6.0" Front of Rack
Scroll down a bit on this page and look for 'product dimensions' - repfitness.com/collections/ares/products/ares-cable-attachment-builder
I'm because I bought the Lat/Row attachment for my PR-4000 2 MONTHS before they talked about this...
Damn, I just installed my Lat/low attachment on my rack. Would have much rather had this one. Dang.
Is there a work around to work with monster lite rml6?
I've seen a couple posts on reddit with people who did a lot of work to modify it to make it work.
as a single cable stack has a 2:1 ratio which is perfect i´m curious if it s possible to get a 4:1 ratio out of it too ? maybe with a diy pulley added to it ?
Hard to answer the DIY question since people's creativity is crazy sometimes. I'm sure anything is possible and we'll see some pretty amazing stuff from our customers.
Uea bit with 4 post rack and ares I won't be able to do incline:(
What's smaller than the petite build?
Can we get a video on how a 4 post ares would look like? Thank you
Yes! We are working on showcasing more setups as we get closer to launch.
@@REPfitness awesome!
Hey guys
O would like to have the ares attachment with the pr 5000 full optional but i cant combine them on the website how come?
Cheers
Am I the only one that watched this video over 3 times
Another thing is that if iam doing a full body workout or hitt workout the belt squat attachment won't work since it's a pain to attache it and take it off:(
So iam iam benching and next exercise is legs after benching I have to attach the belt squat to do leg exercise and vice-versa. Not good. Or is there a way I can just leave the belt squat attached to rack without getting in the way of other exercises???
Sorry iam just looking at negatives but I would like to get answers before I purchase
Should make this for a half rack
We do - it's our 4 post Ares. Just posted a customer's 4 post half rack set up on our instagram.
Whats it like doing lat pull downs in it with 16"+16" version? Worried Ill be smacking my elbows on the posts
Is the pushpin on the trolley the same size for the 4000 and 5000? Just concerned that a 5/8” pin on a 5000 ares would move too much.
Hey Schwerk, good question. The pins are 5/8th inch on the PR-4000 trolley and 1" on the PR-5000 to ensure a secure fit on both rack's hole spacing. No worries there!
Any chance to sell the Trolley alone for someone with a "custom" "power rack / cable machine / Smith machine" which was build with the PR 5000 for the power rack attachement part.
We may offer more component sales after we are able to keep up with demand so people can Frankenstein other builds. Should be 2023
Europe be like. "Gime I want dis!"
Working on getting to Europe pronto in 2023!
Again GREAT PEACE! Will your AB 3000 FID be able to be used for pull ups with the leg rollers towards the Ares. I’m thinking super sets of pull downs and decline sit ups. In a multi user environment not everyone will be happy putting their head where someone else’s butt was just sitting. Yes, I know some might be into that sort of thing! Looking forward to owning both peace’s in place of the Rogue pull up. Footprints and cost are close enough but with MUCH more utility!
Ship me one to Canada pls. :)
This Summer!
Think this could be made to fit on a Rogue rack?
Unfortunately no. Pulleys at certain angles, cable lengths, and we have different heights and widths with welded steel.
So will the ares work with a 4 post rack 24 or 30" rack and also with the half rack pr 5000??
Hey Marco - saw you dropped several questions on various videos. We would love to help... send all your questions to info@repfitness.com or give us a ring 720-420-1731... sounds like you've got a lot of Q's and we can help answer them all in one place.
i see you have a new rack with westside spacing holes
no, their pr-4000 rack has always had westside spacing, the pr5000 has the 1 inch holes with the larger spacing
how much weight are you actually moving with the 310lbs upgrade or what would the stickers on the stacks say down to the heaviest plate? and will their be a way to attach resistance bands to the weight stacks?and does the trolleys on the pr-400 also have a cut-out for the numbers on the uprights?
So if you upgrade to the (2) 310lb stacks... when you connect the weight stacks as shown in the video... you can access the full 310lbs of pull down/row power. If you're just working off one pulley, you'll be accessing just one 310lb stack at a 2:1 ratio, so 155lbs of pulling power.
4000 trolley doesn't, but it doesn't take long to get the hang of where it's at since there are some holes on the side that you can see as you lock it in place. The 4000 is the one we tested/used the longest.
Will there be a way to attach resistance bands on the stacks? It would be nice to have the same trolley for the pr-4000 , i like the idea of having the handle on the side it’s easier access or at least have the cut out.
does the 4 post version not have a pull up bar? I don't see how it would fit
it doesn't... now* - but we are working on one now!
So dopeee
