This was ridiculously well covered/explained… this is what customers crave lol keep it up REP!

The value here is insane, especially considering there's a plate loaded option. I think this is going to be one of the more popular attachments once it launches!

GENIUS. Rep nails it every time. Leaving every other company in the dust. I have so much respect for this company and it’s ability to know what the consumer wants. Kudos!!! 🎉💪🎊💪

Space is always a limiting factor in most home gyms. This adds variety without taking up an extra inch!

Why don't you ever show any videos of Ares or Athena on an 80 inch rack? It would be good to see what this looks like on the shorter rack as many of us have this. Wondering if it even works with the shorter height and the top taken up by the cross members that need to be bolted on.

As someone limited by space constraints, the Athena definitely fits the bill of adding more functionality with minimal compromise in space. I plan to use the Gympin D handle bar to combine the front attachment points to double the weight for low rows/lat pull down.

REP: “Damn it! We forgot about the Athena video!! 😱😱

Great option for anyone limited on space which is pretty much all of us!! The outtake was funny!😂

Oh damn. I just bought a pr4000 with the selectorizer lat down. I wanted to get the dual sides too but wasn't sure how or if that that was compatible (even with the 6 post). Advice: On your website you have this cool feature where you can build your rack from scratch and add attachments and such, however you should add the options to add the lat pull downs and dual pulleys too. This would've been helpful to me to know if it works

The Ares was perfect for me. Dual Athena sectorized and sectorized lat pulldown would be even better, but has more costs and a slightly larger footprint, plus I do get more weight on the front pulleys with Ares. Also, you put Ares for the 11 second point instead of Athena.

Looking super forward to it to be honest. So much customizability. It's honestly a situation where I will likely end up with 1 stack and one plate loaded due to space limitations. Super cool stuff. Keep doing what you do rep.

I see some potential into turning the Athena into a smith machine, especially the plate loaded version

Would love to eventually see a 2 post version that can be mounted to a wing

Who is buying this and struggling to afford an extra band

where is the assembly video?

Good stuff guys. Can’t wait till I get mine.

Thank you Rep for the informative video and your engineering genius

Any chance we see the Rep utility seat before the end of the year?

The weight stack upgrade for the athena isn't available to purchase. Can I simply buy that later? Will adding the weight stack after initial installation is complete change anything to the athena's initial setup or install?

Great video. Thoughtful and hits every questions.

Great video and excellent new products! Keep up the great work.

So if I understood rigjt the athenas won't work with the 4 post pr4000 right it needs to be a 6 post rack right?

Would you need foot stabilizers on a selectorized Athena in a 16 + 16 configuration?

Do u need the 2" spacers for every weight storage pin or just the bottom weight storage pins

Is there an assembly video for this anywhere?

I would really like to see a 4 post pr-4000 option. I do not care about having west side or even 1 inch spacing for the trolleys.

So athenas only works with 6 post on pr4000 and if I buy a 30" gym pin could I join the two weight stacks for lat pull downs right?

J&J is like P&J it just works

Are you guys going to make a installation video for the selectorized lat low row?

Can the athena be used as a lat pull down and low row machine?

Will you develop anything similar to this for the omni rack?

Would love to see how Area/Athena is effected by having 80" uprights. Tall people with short racks :O Also, did you say you can incline bench w/ a selectorized lat/low, but NOT with Ares?

Can you choose not to install the band pegs, particularly the bottom ones? The 4” or so for each peg on the inside of my rack won’t allow me to store my tower and bench inside my rack when I’m not using it. Hoping the band peg portion is optional to install, and possibly able to add back on later.

Why didn't they show putting plate horns in the back of the rack

Adding additional crossmembers and uprights to be able to support weight horn storage is defeating the purpose of creating a smaller footprint and lowering the cost with the plate loaded version. Plus. Nobody wants to use a weight tree or mount their stuff to the wall if they already have the horns lol. The only realistic option would be to get the selectorized version on both sides.

Where's the assembly video for the Athena??

If I have a four post with foot extension will the extension get in the way of the iso arms? For example to deadlift with them.

Is the 16 in the back a minimum? What if your 6 post rack has 30 inch storage in the back? Does the Athena just attach near the front of it?

I tried building this exact set up on your website plus the lat pull down/seated row addition. I don't think I am putting it together correctly though.

Rep I have a question- Are the weight stack plates used on the Athena and a Selectorized lat low row the same plates that are on the Ares?

Why don't you add an option to extend the back section and provide the clearance necessary so you can have weight storage and utilize the plate loaded option? Problem solved.

@Rep Fitness can you please show us ideal setup for Athena along with iso arms? Is there any way we can setup we can use both without having to remove iso arms?

Can you have both sides with the same type of weight stack, as in plate loaded on both sides

With Athena work with the globe front mount pull up bar?

Can you choose selectorized plates from the inside of the rack? Or do you need to go around to each side to change weight? Also, are the numbers only on the outside of the selectorized plates?

What about 80”, what are the disadvantages vs 93” Athena particularly for someone around 6ft 2in?

Question : Why does adding a Selectorized Lat Low row to the back of a 4 Post PR5000 rack with the Athena add 19.5 inches ? And only 9 inches on a 6 post rack ? Where is the extra depth on the 4 post rack coming from ? Your using a 2.0 RBS so shouldn’t the added depth on a 6 and 4 post rack be the same ?

8:21 that’s all I needed to hear

When will the Ares or Athena will be purchasable in Europe?

what if I have a 6 post PR4000 rack config, but the front 4 post are 93", while the rear 2 are 80" (just a weird room setup I have that has height restrictions on the back). Any chance I could make Athena work by feeding the top cable that runs horizontally through the holes in the front posts vs running it on top of the rack?

recommends front foot extension, doesn't use front foot extensions

Will the system work on a Rogue Monster 6 post rack?

Can I use the plates and 300lb selector pin in the Athena to upgrade the stack? I'm not worried about cable lengths. I can cut and crimp my own cable, It's very easy

Will the 4 post plate loadable option be available soon?

Hoping for compatibility with Rogue Monster…

Will this work with a 6 posts Omni Rack?

Athena selectorized with added weight stacks and a center lat/low row > ares. Don’t @ me.

That's cute, I'd rather get the ares

Boo. You can’t use this on a PR-4000 16” half rack
