@@MoSec9 They don't respond to emails. If you contact them about an issue, expect to wait 1-2 weeks for a response, if you get one at all. They recently sold me flip down safeties that each had a pin welded at an angle, making them unusable. First, they took nearly a month to ship the safeties, even though they said they were in stock when I ordered. When I emailed them about the delay, took two weeks to get a response. When I received the safeties and saw they were defective, I emailed REP again.....this time, it took exactly a week to get a response. REP immediately refunded me without question and told me to, and I quote, "throw them away." Meaning, throw the safeties away. They were so messed up, REP didn't even want them returned. The way they responded led me to conclude they got a bad batch from China and they knew it and were selling them anyway, hoping people wouldn't complain and if they did, instant refund. They didn't even ask further questions or request additional photos (you can only provide one photo when contacting through REP's website). They just refunded instantly. It just seemed......shady? Whatever. My entire Gym is Rogue, EliteFTS and Kabuki. I will never buy another REP anything.

You can bench with spotter arms outside the rack and also have a friend stand inside the rack. You can do the same for incline so you don’t have to worry about the bench hitting the weight stack. As for low row, adjust the footplate out and sit on the bottom of a decline bench so you’re not on the floor. Provides a much better experience.

Not much hassle you do it once and you’re set up is done for every other time .i just went into detail in case coop picked up the idea but basically step, hook ,hook in belt ,push off slightly and rep away its the same idea as rep has themselves for their belt squat but adjusted for Ares since it isn’t a plate loaded version witch means you can’t load plates at the top of the rep you have to preselect the weight from the bottom of the rep. it would however be light years easier to have a plate loaded version of Ares with its 6 termination points and just place a hook,load and rep away.maybe in the not so distant future.

That's a great review. This rack has so much. I do like the two stacks, which is heavy enough for you to grow. I'm sure you'll be able to work something out for the low row. The bar connecting both sides for the low row is the banana clip. As I don't use bands, band pegs are unimportant. The expression on the Rep fitness guy's face when you told him the attachment sucks was hilarious. The system has a lot of small details that make the usability experience much nicer. You did not mention the price. The assembly part by Sam is quite important and I value his opinion. Unless you're getting the company to come to your house, assembly is all on you. In contrast Chinese products are renown for having terrible assembly instructions. Sam answers the question about just how hard is it to assemble this product. This is a complex rack with lots of moving parts, so I expect it to take a bit more time.

I have a Rogue RML-390F Monster Lite Rack. Will the ARES be compatible with it if I got the 4 post style? Great vid!

Coop, I heard the floating pulleys in the rear of the rack twist a lot. Has this happened to you and is there an easy remedy??

Over time, the cable stretches and unwinds. In the beginning, I had the same issue, but worked it out with a bit of use and became no big deal. - Coop

Can this fit in a 4 post rack or only works with a 6 post rack?

It will fit in a 16" 4 post rack.

Is there a way to attach the jammer arms as well ?
