Rogue Fitness' NEW Functional Trainer Rack Review | Home Gym Week in Review

Rogue FM-6 Functional Trainer

Transform your home gym with the Rogue FM-6 Functional Trainer– the ultimate training solution in a compact footprint. This versatile trainer features a full power rack, a vertically adjustable 2:1 functional trainer, and a 1:1 Lat Pulldown and Low Row. Designed with space efficiency in mind, the FM-6 allows you to maximize your workout space without compromising on functionality.

This is also available as a more compact Half Rack option: Rogue FM-HR Functional Trainer

*If you already have a Rogue RM-6 Monster Rack, this is also available as an add-on kit to add to your existing rack.

INNOVATIVE PULLEY CONFIGURATION

The patent pending pulley configuration achieves a 2:1 ratio for the functional trainer and 1:1 for the lat pulldown and low row, using a single weight source – available as a weight stack or a plate-loaded trolley. All existing similar products on the market require two weight sources to get this outcome. This eliminates the need to purchase two 300 lb weight stacks or plate load carriages instead of one. Not only does this reduce the initial investment cost, this also only requires one weight adjustment in use. This single weight source design also ensures even loading, eliminating any possibility of side-to-side imbalances.

COMPATIBILITY AND VERSATILITY

Unlike competitor models that require proprietary, specialized attachments to be able to achieve a 1:1 load for lat pulldown and low row that to bridge two cables, the Rogue FM-6 system is compatible with all standard cable attachments. Their 1:1 is not really 1:1 as 2 weight stacks need to be loaded to achieve the chosen weight.

OVERBUILT BY DESIGN

As with all Rogue products, the FM-6 Functional Trainer is overbuilt for durability. Larger pulleys contribute to longer cable life, and the US-made Mil Spec Aircraft Cable ensures exceptional longevity compared to imported alternatives. Optional shrouds are available to place around moving parts.

EFFORTLESS ADJUSTABILITY

Vertical adjustment of the trolleys is effortless thanks to four precision machined rollers and a counterweight. Swiveling pulleys guarantee the optimum angle for every movement. There is no need to reconfigure, whether you want to perform single or double arm movements with the trolley or want to use the pulldown or low row functionality, just grab and go.

BUILT ON THE RM-6 MONSTER RACK 2.0

The RM-6 is a fully customizable Monster Rack utilizing 3x3" 11-gauge steel tubing, over-sized 1" hardware, and a bolt-together design for easier portability and affordable shipping. The 2.0 version includes a wide spectrum of custom color options, laser-cut pin position numbers on the uprights and bottom crossmembers, and a keyhole pattern on the sides of each upright—creating compatibility with more add-ons and attachments.
