Powerline PFT100 Functional Trainer | Train The Way You Move

Last Updated: January 19, 2023 By RobertHome Gyms 8 Comments

The Powerline PFT100 Functional Trainer by Body-Solid is a budget-friendly home unit that offers the same exercise variety and flexibility as the cable machines you find at your local gym. In addition, this trainer has dual-weight stacks, fully adjustable pulleys, and a pull-up bar.

The PFT100 has a durable steel frame. It consists of 2 independent towers that connect through the rear and a straight pull-up bar in the front. Each tower has its own 160 lb weight stack with its pulley. Therefore, you can do exercises using only one pulley (tricep extensions) and activities using both simultaneously (cable crossovers).

Remember that the pulleys give you a mechanical advantage- meaning that 160 lb doesn’t feel like 160 lb when lifted on the pulley system. It’s at a 2:1 ratio, so 160 lb on this system is only 80 lb of resistance, which is typical for functional trainers.

Each pulley on the PFT100 is fully adjustable vertically, allowing you to choose any 1 of 20 different starting positions (the positions are spaced out 3.2″ from each other). With this many positions, you shouldn’t have problems performing any exercise comfortably.

The BodyCraft CFT Functional Trainer is a low-profile, total body training device with a space-efficient footprint. The CFT has a height of 82.5 inches, allowing it to fit into rooms that no other functional trainer can. In addition, the tough diamond gray and textured black powder-coated finish evenly coats all surfaces for a long-lasting finish.

With dual swivel pulleys and cable travel, almost any movement imaginable is possible. Advanced with its two-sided support frame, the BodyCraft CFT Functional Trainer provides a more stable construction allowing bodyweight exercise. Each arm can move independently through 36 positions and 180 degrees, accommodating users of all heights and sizes.

Whether the motion is for Strength Training, Sport Specific, or maybe it’s a motion you perform at work or during leisure activities, the BodyCraft CFT allows you to train the way you move. You define the movement path, strengthening every part of your body, improving your core, balance, and coordination.

The CFT Functional Trainer from Bodycraft comes with a 150lb weight stack upgradable to 200lbs. The weight stack to the user weight ratio is 4:1, providing up to a total of 37.5 lbs (50lbs with 200lb option) resistance allows for extremely smooth action, 2.5lb increment weight increases, and a more excellent range of motion. When you connect both pulleys, they then have a transfer ratio of 2:1 for heavy exercises.

Body-Solid GDCC200 Functional Trainer | Offers Limitless Variety

Last Updated: January 7, 2023 By RobertHome Gyms 8 Comments

The Body-Solid GDCC200 Functional Trainer has been designed with a minimal frame width and depth to ensure the overall footprint isn’t too large. Thus, making it ideal for more compact home gyms. Although the frame width is as narrow as possible, Body-Solid hasn’t sacrificed any versatility when combining this trainer with a high-quality bench.

If you’ve ever used a cable trainer in the past, you’ll undoubtedly have realized the almost limitless range of exercises you can perform. Therefore, it is particularly true when combining the cables with optional attachments, such as the GDCC pressing bar, straight bar, or rope.

Iso-lateral movements also give you much greater freedom of movement than a smith machine or single cable pulley system can provide. Thereby creating a more significant stretch and contraction in the muscles you’re training.

With a space-saving footprint, dual independent weight stacks, user-friendly ergonomics and adjustability, and precision-fitted components, the Body-Solid GDCC200 represents unbeatable value in today’s advanced fitness market.
