Functional Trainer FT-1 Rogue

Overview

The Functional Trainer FT-1 Rogue features two of our CT-1 Cable Tower stations seamlessly linked together by a 43-inch Monster Crossmember at the bottom of the unit and a laser-cut, Rogue branded Monster Nameplate Crossmember at the top. This modular, space-efficient unit was initially inspired by a configuration first devised by U.S. Navy Veteran and garage gym builder Nick Gills, bringing a real-world, user-centric design to the forefront.

By cleverly combining storage shelves between two CT-1 cable columns, users are able to gain tons of integrated storage potential alongside dual cable functionality, all within a relatively small footprint of 90.4 inches x 47 inches. The unit can be flexibly configured with up to 4 shelves in different varieties (for dumbbells, kettlebells, or bumper plates) on the 100-inch uprights, maximizing organization and accessibility.

The FT-1 Functional Trainer can be assembled as a standalone unit (requires bolting to the floor; mounting hardware not included) or intelligently attached to the back of an existing Monster Rack (provided it has at least 100-inch uprights). As a true Monster unit, the FT-1 is fully compatible with our 43-inch Monster Rack Storage Panels and all versions of our 43-inch Monster Single-Post Shelves, further expanding its versatility. The front top crossmember also conveniently accommodates the addition of a Monster Crown Pull-Up Bar or Solo Mount Pull-Up Bar, diversifying your workout options.

Key Features

• 2 CT-1 Cable Towers: These precision-built columns enable a wide range of cable machine exercises, including rows, curls, tricep pushdowns, cable crossovers, and more, offering comprehensive full-body training. Users can easily adjust the weight load via the 250 LB weight stack, which is conveniently broken into 10 LB increments with a 2:1 ratio. The single handle pulley assembly features a smooth 180-degree swivel and can be quickly set up high or low depending on the workout, utilizing the knurled stainless steel adjustment handle. There are 16 different height adjustment settings on the 2×2 rail, and with acetal pads inside the handle assembly, users can easily move the swivel up and down without damaging the stainless slide tube.
• Big Storage Potential, Small Footprint: The FT-1’s innovative configuration, inspired by U.S. Navy Veteran and garage gym builder Nick Gills, is set apart by its modularity. The incorporation of Monster uprights and crossmembers makes the unit compatible with a wide assortment of attachments and accessories, including our 43-inch Monster Rack Storage Panels and 43-inch Monster Single-Post Shelves. Effectively, the FT-1 is equivalent in width and storage capacity to a Monster 4-tier storage rack, while simultaneously providing TWO fully functional cable pulley stations. Formed and welded steel adapter brackets securely set each of the CT-1s in this configuration at a 45-degree angle for optimal functionality.
• Quality Construction: Each 3×3” 11-gauge steel CT-1 unit is proudly manufactured at our Reflex Fitness facility in Iowa. Their 6-inch machined aluminum pulleys and 250 LB weight stack are both precision-machined in-house, ensuring superior quality. The 1/4-inch cable itself is made to the same military specifications as aircraft cable, further jacketed in nylon for superior flexibility and durability. The standard finish is a classic MG Black powdercoat for enhanced protection and aesthetic appeal. The FT-1 also comes standard with a pair of 43-inch Monster Crossmembers for connecting the two towers. The top crossmember includes an MG Black / Rogue Red Monster nameplate with precision laser-cut branding, showcasing its premium identity.
