Why Choose a Plate Loaded Functional Trainer for Your Home Gym?

Put the weight plates you already own to even more work. The Profile® Sidewinder™ Plate Loaded Functional Trainer combines the strength training capabilities of a folding squat rack with adjustable cable resistance, giving you more exercise variety without adding a standalone cable machine to your home gym.

With a 1:1 pulley ratio and up to 250 lbs of weight capacity per side, the Sidewinder™ lets you load the resistance you need for rows, pulldowns, presses, curls, triceps work, fly variations, lower-body movements, and more. When you're ready for barbell training, your squat rack is right there. When the entire workout is over, fold your setup toward the wall and get your floor space back.

Can I Add a Plate Loaded Functional Trainer to My Profile® Rack?

If you already own a compatible Profile® PRO rack, the Sidewinder™ Attachment lets you add cable training without replacing the foundation of your home gym. The attachment integrates a plate loaded functional trainer into your existing rack, giving the weight plates you already use for barbell training another job to do.

Load your plates onto the functional trainer weight posts to adjust resistance, then move between cable exercises and traditional strength training from the same setup. It's an easy way to bring more exercise variety into your home gym while sticking with the space-saving Profile® system you already have.

Before adding the Sidewinder™ Attachment, check your rack size and upright height to make sure your existing Profile® setup is compatible.

What Can I Do With a Plate Loaded Functional Trainer?

A plate loaded functional trainer gives you the freedom to build cable resistance around the weights you already have. Load it lighter for accessory movements like curls, triceps extensions, lateral raises, and fly variations, or add more plates for heavier rows, pulldowns, presses, and lower-body exercises.

Pair those cable movements with the barbell exercises your Profile® rack already supports and you can train just about every major muscle group from one compact setup. Compatible cable handles and Profile® Functional Trainer attachments can add even more grips, angles, and exercise options as your training evolves.

Use your plates. Use your rack. Get a whole lot more out of both.
