Rogue FM Rack vs REP Ares 2.0…The Ultimate Functional Trainer Squat Rack!

I have equipment from both REP and Rogue and love both companies. I'm happy that REP has rack options for basements/garages with low ceilings. The 83" just fits with my ceilings.

[@Kakarot_Sports]

Similar situation as this. Does anyone know if a RM-6 can be custom ordered shorter than 90 and still work with the cable system?

I bought REP. They are so far ahead in the cable attachment game and their quality and packaging is really good.

[@PatYouells]

The REP showroom is only like an hour from my house so I'll go check the Ares 2.0 there in person when it gets in at the end of the summer. And probably make a decision after that. I got long arms so the added width of the Rogue might sell it for me

Honestly, your reviews have been so incredibly helpful. I am researching what I would like to upgrade to in the future, from dumbbells and a weight bench. Your energy & excitement is palpable and permeates not only your demeanor but your in depth and detailed honest reviews of the equipment. I thought I would just get a little here and there from Amazon later on when I was ready to upgrade, but now you have me drooling over Rogue and REP Racks. Thank you!!!! And when I am ready and have the dedicated space, I promise to get horse stall mats and not those cheap spongey ones (that I may or may not be using now 🤣) Thanks, Coop!!

I got the Ares 1.0 because they dropped the price to approximately $800 less than the listed price. I know the 2.0 is much more improved, but I can deal with the low row being so close to the ground and how far apart they are for $800 less. I can't be happier with my purchase.

You currently can’t do this unless they change the footplate of the rhino to allow the side weight stacks to go on. That footplate covers the attachment points for the guide-rods.

I am in the middle of building my Rogue 43” Twin Stack Functional Trainer (100” height in Burnt Orange since the rack is next to all of our KTM bikes) and am beyond IMPRESSED with the quality of EVERYTHING - Packaging - perfect, not a single ding or scratch, everything labeled and accounted for; Assembly instructions - while I’m only halfway through, it’s been a flawless assembly so far. We are just going slow because it’s still super hot here (SW UT and no mini split in the garage yet) and we like to MTB or dirt bike in the morning before we start work on our “erector set”; Build quality - again, so amazing. Everything is machined perfectly, fits perfectly, slides when it should slide and stays in place when it shouldn’t slide; Engineering - you can tell some serious thought went into the design of this product and how it all goes together while leaving options for future modifications. Side note: I also ordered a bunch of the “6 Shooter machined grip plates” but they were out of the 45# ones, so I got the Bells of Steel 45# grip plates. While the Bells of Steel plates are very nice and easy to move around, the Rogue 6 Shooter plates are just beautiful and I love them already. But the BoS plates were a lot cheaper so I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for good looking grip plates without breaking the bank.

[@matt009817]

Hi, I’m looking at the same thing, but height restricted to the 90.” There’s not a lot of reviews or comments online. Do you think the 43” depth is worth the walkout or do you think 30” would have been better? I wouldn’t want smaller than that, but it seems like 36” would be the sweet spot. Just trying to figure it out for myself. I would be using the Rogue Safety Strap System 2.0 rather than Spotter Arms

[@lauriedewey]

@@matt009817 I personally like the 43” depth but I hate feeling constricted and our garage is huge so we weren’t worried about fitting into the space. We also got the safety strap 2.0 and like them a lot.

[@killerkhatiby009]

Coop, one aspect of 49" vs 47" that I don't see mentioned often is if you're tall or long-limbed having a wider inside can allow more elbow/knee room for benching and squatting and not hitting the safeties with wider stances/positions. I'm 6ft tall and MUCH prefer a wider interior rack, the small size difference is actually quite noticeable in use.

[@billchurch4460]

I hear ya. I'm not even six foot, have Rogue's RM6 and even with the 49" width I find myself occasionally making contact with my safeties during certain exercises, certain positioning etc. I can't imagine what things might be like with less interior width, even if it's only two inches. Right now, it's a rare occurrence and more of a distraction when it does happen. With two less inches I could see it potentially being a problem.

[@BrianHellman]

Already have a Rogue setup. Emailed their sales and they said they would build out a custom order to make use of my existing stack. So that's the route I'm going.

Any update on this? You get it built, how do you like it.

[@Project.NV.2024]

I messaged rogue about the dual stack (on two different occasions) and was told the individual stacks will be 150lbs each totaling the same as the single stack. Also as a side note, the plate loaded has a 800lbs weight limit. The limiting factor being the cable.

[@Project.NV.2024]

To add more context, I order the single stack with 300lbs weight stack. I was told the twin stack is the same as the single stack just with two 150lbs stacks* vs a 300lbs stack on the single. With all the talks of a rhino drop in for the FM series, I wonder how that will work with only a 300lbs stack. I was also told the plate loaded has a 800lbs weight limit (the cables being the limiting factor). It seems the best bet would be opt for plate loaded to prepare for the Rhino drop in as this would allow up to 800lbs for a belt squat. I am thinking of changing my single stack to either the plate loaded or dual stack. I plan to call Rogue tomorrow to discuss further. Curious to hear others thoughts. *the two 150lbs stacks came from Rogue customer service on two different occasions.

REP has been crushing the home gym strength scene for years now. And their new cardio looks innovative too. Rogue is too busy making overpriced bars/plates with nfl stickers.

I would really like to see you get a hold of the plate loaded rogue FM and see how belt squats work with it. it looks like you could just attach a belt to the low row and it would work. the selectorized doesn't look like it would work for it though as the stack goes to far into the rack and too close to the low row mount

[@DaveSchneider7]

Yeah, GGR is way too fixated on Rep and Rogue. The articulating cable arms on the SX2 and ATX Monster 2.0 make both these racks look outdated already

[@AnthonyDeJager-qm8fd]

Regarding cable placement (and, obviously, acknowledging that one cable will be on the front of the upright and the other will be behind), Coop mentioned that he prefers the Rep configuration (lower cable is on the front of the rack). I wish he had acknowledged that this could be problematic for spotter arms extended from the front of the rack (and yes, i know there are workaround solutions, such as lowering the trolley below the spotter arms - or - mounting the spotter arms from an inside-out orientation). Still, for most purposes, it seems the Rogue setup is better for spotter arms.

Should one expect any difference in smoothness of operation and feel in the Rogue plate-loaded version versus the single or double stack versions? Plate-loaded carriage travels on a center post while the weight stack versions travel on guide rods.

[@GregRamaker-s4u]

Did Rogue increase the price of their fm-6 functional trainer. I have it in my cart at $6,200?

[@momotart]

The FM HR (single stack) is completely irrelevant unless the rhino is very important to the user. It's unnecessarily deep (+22") meanwhile the Twin is comparable to the Ares and is only 5" deeper. If you're going to use the back posts for plate storage, then the Ares and Twin are equal but the single stack sticks out beyond your plate storage. Still waiting on the 4 post twin FT add on to drop. They only have the FM-6 twin add on available. If they have the 4 post twin FT available with the uprights, they should sell it without the uprights as well since some of us can convert our existing racks.

Was about to pull the trigger on the rep. Now I am second guessing. At 6’5” I didn’t realize Rogue offered an even taller model than 90”.

It appears that the Rhino Drop In only has the lat pull down feature. It looks like this drops into a power rack and comes with the lat pull down attachment. Am I missing something, or do you lose the low row and the pulley cables on the uprights with this Rhino Drop In set up?
