Ares 2.0 Wall-Mounted Builder

Description

Experience the power of the Ares™ 2.0 in a compact, space-saving design. The Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 combines a functional trainer, lat pulldown, low row, and half rack—all in one system that mounts directly to your wall. It’s built for lifters who want commercial-grade performance without sacrificing space.

Featuring dual selectorized weight stacks (260 lbs each, upgradeable to 310 lbs) with a smooth 2:1 ratio, this machine supports both unilateral and bilateral training—or even two athletes at once. The premium trolley design adjusts easily with one hand, while aluminum pulleys and swivel heads deliver a smooth, natural cable motion across every exercise.

The wide, adjustable footplate supports comfortable, efficient rows, and the higher cable positioning improves ergonomics for both seated and standing movements. Add optional J-cups or Spotter Arms for barbell work like squats, bench presses, and rack pulls to create a complete, all-in-one training station.

Features

• SPACE-SAVING: At 29" from the wall, The Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 is significantly more space-efficient, saving 23" compared to the 4-Post Ares™ 2.0.
• WALL-MOUNTED STABILITY: When properly secured to the wall, the Wall-Mounted Ares™ 2.0 offers unmatched stability, eliminating the need for front foot extensions.
• LAT AND SEATED ROW FEATURE: The Ares™ 2.0 attachment features both an integrated lat pulldown, as well as a seated row. This slightly higher cable point is more comfortable and functional than a low row and allows you to sit on a bench or the floor; your choice. Use the lat and seated row cables for isolation exercises, as well as standard, straight-bar movements.
• DUAL WEIGHT STACKS: Dual selectorized weight stacks can be upgraded to 310lbs each (feels like 155lbs each) and allow for unilateral and bilateral training without compromising cable length like with a single weight stack. Another advantage over a single stack is that your pull feels even because both hands aren't fighting to move the same stack. Weight stacks are turned 90 degrees and sit farther set back so there's more space inside the rack for incline bench and other movements.
• PULLEYS AND CABLES: The Ares™ 2.0 attachment features aluminum pulleys with custom retainers for a smoother pull. All pulleys have a 180-degree swivel for versatility and the ability to work outside the rack, and the 2.0 cables have a thinner coating that creates a smoother feel.
• IMPROVED FOOTPLATE: The new footplate design adjusts for multiple starting points; is much wider for more comfort and versatility; and is cut out on the sides so you can perfectly center your bench deeper in the rack for both incline and flat bench exercises.
• PATENT PENDING: The innovative cable routing allows for extended travel, ensuring smoother movement and a greater range of motion. The integrated foot plate enhances stability and power transfer, while centered lower and upper pulleys provide balanced resistance for optimal biomechanics. Lightweight yet strong trolleys feature a knurled handle and oversized pop-pin for easy one-handed adjustments while supporting heavy loads, with protective plastic lining to prevent upright damage. These designs deliver a versatile, controlled, and high-performance training experience for all strength levels.
• PULL-UP BAR BRACKETS: Optional Pull-Up Bar Brackets allow you to add a pull-up bar, otherwise obstructed by the logo plate, front pulleys, and Lat Bar hangers.
• STORAGE OPTIONS: The optional storage wing adds plate storage, two barbell holders, and an optional peg board with 12 hooks and a Lat Bar hanger - enhancing rack functionality and organization without increasing wall depth.
