Functional Trainers and Cable Machines

A functional trainer uses adjustable dual pulleys to let you press, pull, and rotate through a full range of motion, training the way your body actually moves. RecovAthlete carries the Body Solid range, from compact home units up to commercial Pro Clubline trainers built for studio traffic. If you want cable versatility in one machine instead of a room full of stations, this is the category.

A functional trainer is a cable machine with two adjustable pulleys, letting one person work almost every muscle group from standing, seated, or angled positions.

The short version

  • Nine Body Solid trainers, from a $1,595 home unit to $5,595 commercial cable crossovers.
  • Dual adjustable pulleys for pressing, rowing, and rotational work in one footprint.
  • Home models for a spare room, Pro Clubline models rated for commercial studio use.
  • Crossover configurations add width for wide cable work and multi-user setups.
  • Every unit qualifies for financing and ships from an authorized dealer.

Best for each buyer

Best for a home setup: the PFT100 or GDCC200 gives you dual-pulley cable training without taking over the room.

Best for crossover work: the GDCC250 adds width for wide cable flyes and a built-in pulldown.

Best for a studio or clinic: the Pro Clubline S2FT and S2CCO are built to hold up under commercial traffic.

When a functional trainer is not the right pick

If you want fixed stations for every muscle group in one machine, a multi-station home gym covers more ground. And if you train mainly with a barbell, a power rack and bench is the better base.

Common questions

What is the difference between a functional trainer and a cable crossover?

A functional trainer packs two adjustable pulleys into a compact frame for all-around cable work. A cable crossover spreads the pulleys wider apart, which suits wide flyes and multi-user setups but takes more floor space.

Are the home and commercial units built differently?

Yes. The Pro Clubline models use heavier frames and are rated for the repeated use a studio or clinic puts them through. The home models are built for one household.

How much ceiling height do I need?

Full-height trainers need room for the top pulley and cable travel. Call 866-861-6317 with your ceiling height and we will confirm which units fit your space.
