Glad they confirmed the incline bench problems in the rack. Honest and answered a big question in my head.

She's a beaut Clark!

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

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

Well Coop you said you wanted an ecosystem here it is… Rogue really need to get their shit together this looks amazing 🔥

Just sold me to REP Fitness….I just bought the PR5000 with the Ares!!

This rack build looks incredible. Definitely bookmarking it for when I move into a new home with space.

Looking good

Loved the petite comment…funny….good job Rep, your company has the heartbeat of serious fitness buffs.

Perfect solution for my small 225 sqft home gym...dropped the order on Saturday for my PR5000 and ARES. Cannot wait!

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.

Just meet Blake at gas station. Dude was cool as hell. Was an honor

Please let the family know when the 1 Ares start shipping out so we can get excited

Couldn’t have picked a better time to start building a gym in the garage. LFG boys!

Rep been killin rogue

This looks great! I will probably switch from Rogue to Rep rack for my next gym build.

This attachment looks amazing! Great work.

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.

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 🤩

Why did I go with a rogue rack instead? This is what I’ve been waiting for!!!!

I was planning to put more in my roth ira before the 2021 cutoff but.... let's just say ORDER CONFIRMED 👍 😏

Ordered additional weight stack to seal the deal. Then 2 days later I actually ordered the Ares. Gonna be awesome

Nice work. The Ares looks amazing!

Just ordered a PR 5000v2 and Ares. You guys are killing it with the new releases.

Thanks for the over view. REP is leading the way in new innovations for 2022! Looking forward to the trap bar and SSB.

I am drooling 🤤! Now, I am motivated to clean out my garage to build out my gym!

Ordered! It would be nice to get the pro series handles included with the Ares instead of the basic black plastic handles.

Any way to connect it to a leg extension on a bench they have? Leg extensions with plates isn’t as smooth as cable. Would be nice if they had a connection for leg extensions and leg curls

REP City baby. The new King's. Great Work

Can u guys do a video with 4 post rack and ares and all the attachments?? Don't want the 6 post rack

I ordered mine right when I got the email saying it was available. Looking forward to adding it to my garage gym.

Kudos for your honesty about the Incline.

Will the land mine attachment work okay since it seems like it would need to be connected to the cross members rather than the uprights? Also, how cumbersome will it be to get attachments like j-cups/safeties/etc. on/off the front uprights with the cables running along those uprights? Especially wondering about this with the PR5000 where the cables run up the outside of the front upright - will this impact adding and removing these attachments?

Absolutely beautiful, dream power rack

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.

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 !

Man, now I want to buy the rack so I can get the Ares

Would have been nice to see examples of range of motion on a 80" Rep rack PR-5000

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.

How can you start your rep at the top with the ares using the belt squat since this is a selectorized version (snatch block and some chains?).this is why i wish you could do it plate loaded including the ability of fine tuning incremental weight 👍🏻

I love how they assume we're all using horse stall mats instead of official "gym" flooring. They're right of course.

Flaming Joe and calling him petite was the best part of this video🤣🤣

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.

Oh man this is awesome!!

When will preorder start? Take my money !!

Great video and amazing attachment! Definitely love the idea of "banana"! I'm just thinking maybe you can design some kinds of adjustable arms attachment(similar to those on the FreeMotion machine), that will add width(or make it narrower) for the Ares and make it feels more like a typical function trainer?

Jesus that is awesome. Great engineering.

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?

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

BOOM!!!!! Looks just monstrous!

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.

This is too good to be true!!! I LOVE it!!!!!!

Are there plans to make it work with a 24" depth on the back. Thinking that should help with some of the bench clearance.

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.

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.

Very impressive, for incline benching you can get the Hoist 5167 bench if you don’t want to move where you bench. This should work since when it’s 75-degrees the back post is almost flush with the back of the pad giving you enough clearance with the weight stack. The smaller angles as it approaches being flat is achieved by the back pad sliding forward so the back post never needs to move. The best part are the interior narrow cables that you can clip together to utilize a true 1:1 weight stack ratio, which is something no other functional trainer has. You can also unclip to work each side unilaterally, which looks great.

Just gonna wait for the plate loaded lat/low row upgrade. Looks great though!

So if space is NOT an issue, sounds like the FT 5000 functional trainer is still the way to go. For those who only have a room to work with/in, this is gold.

It would be nice to have a smith machine in it inside the rack and a center bracket attachment for the benching

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!

July is over. Can't believe these will be shipping out in August

What about the weight horns on the back of the rack, will I have to remove them?

all this new equipment is dope. But give me that yoke!

Looks like you have a great new product. I love that I can attach it to my current 4000 Rack. Any takers for my plate loaded attachment?

@repfitness maybe this could be adapted to the PR1100 series 🙏 but instead make it a plate loaded Ares 😁

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.

@REP can you show someone performing the lat pulldown with the 16"x16" or 16"x24" variations? I have a hard time believing thats enough space for someone to comfortably perform the movement.

Good work! Product development isn't easy.

Would like to have seen someone square up for a squat inside the rack... seems like one might be head-butting the rails or kicking the weight stack

Just ordered.

Not me crying cause I just put my lat/low row attachment together this last weekend

If I buy the Ares, will weight storage still work on my PR5000?

Looks pretty awesome!

Man I wish you guys would ship to Canada!

I think it's gonna be best if I just put my ISO arms on the hack of my rack

Not compatible with the omni? Are there any plans for one that would work on that?

this is insane. I am buying this day one!!

Stoked for this but when’s that Yoke getting released!?!

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.

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?

Damn, I just installed my Lat/low attachment on my rack. Would have much rather had this one. Dang.

Am I the only one that watched this video over 3 times

When is version w coming out (with the low row being a little higher)

Make this available in Canada please!

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?

When are you guys going to start shipping to Canada?

So I know you mentioned about the 3.8 inches of height added but is this added height to the upright or crossmember because it doesn’t look like 3.8 from the upright. In other words, if I had a 83 inch dealing would I be able to get away with this on the 80 inch rack?

I just posted my rogue rack for sale lol I think it’s time to upgrade

I'm because I bought the Lat/Row attachment for my PR-4000 2 MONTHS before they talked about this...

How easy is it to disassemble? I wanted to get one with the PR-5000 but will be moving in the next two years. Wondering how difficult it is to take apart everything

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?

Is there enough room to rack/ squat off the rear post inside the cage? Or do you have to turn around and squat off front post?

Is there any information regarding the lubrication of any of the equipment.

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?

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?

If you do a 4 post rack with 16 inch cross members can you still incline bench? Maybe you can make an extended J cup of not?

Should make this for a half rack

Love it!

Looks awesome! I have a PR5000 (4 upright posts) in my cart ready to go. Will I need to add 2 additional uprights as well, or does the Ares come with those?

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!
