- Strength and cardio in one machine. Short, hard pulls build strength. Long, steady pulls build conditioning.
- Resistance from 1 to 200 lb. It suits a first-timer and a trained athlete alike.
- No plates, no power cord, no bolting down. The display runs on AA batteries and the frame stands on its own.
- Sit or stand. The seat pops off for standing pulls. ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible.
Delivery to your driveway with a liftgate: $495, shown at checkout. Questions? Call us at 984-789-5514.
From a cluttered corner to a full workout
Before: plates to load and store, a bar to rack, and a spotter you don't have.
The fix: an endless rope with a magnetic brake that pushes back exactly as hard as you pull. Stop pulling and it stops.
After: strength and conditioning in one quiet machine, in one corner of the room.

Key features

- Soft, grippy rope designed to be easy on the hands and long-lasting.
- Built-in display tracks distance, time, speed and calories.
- Quick-release seat for seated or standing training.
What it trains
Hand-over-hand pulling works your back, shoulders, arms and grip. Standing pulls bring in your core and legs. Seated pulls let you focus on the upper body, or train from a wheelchair.
