Overview
The Rogue INDY Functional Trainer is a modular, rack-mounted functional trainer designed to bring adjustable-height cable training to your gym without increasing the rack's overall footprint. Built on the Rogue Monster Rack 2.0 platform, this system is available in independent configurations (Left side only, Right side only, or Dual sides). It utilizes a 2:1 pulley ratio to deliver smooth, controlled resistance for a wide variety of unilateral and bilateral exercises.

Key Features and Specifications
Construction: 3x3" 11-gauge steel tubing with oversized 1" hardware and 1/4" steel pulley plates.
Resistance Ratio: 2:1 ratio (meaning 100 LB on the stack feels like 50 LB of effective resistance).
Weight Stack Options: Available with 250 LB or 300 LB weight stacks for a maximum effective load of 150 LB per side.
Cable Type: 3/16" US-made Military Spec Aircraft Cable for exceptional longevity.
Pulleys: A mix of 3.5” to 6” pulleys with overbuilt swivels for optimal movement angles.
Customization: Multiple rack depths (24", 30", 43"), heights (80", 90", 100"), and colors available.
Manufacturing: Made in the USA with imported pulleys.
Compatibility: Compatible with a range of Monster attachments including Monolift Arms, Single Leg Rollers, and the Velocidor.
Performance Benefits
Space Saving: Integrates seamlessly into the existing rack footprint, making it ideal for home or commercial gyms where floor space is a priority.
Independent Operation: Fully independent sides allow users to train unilaterally or perform multi-station workouts simultaneously without interference.
Effortless Adjustability: Smooth, adjustable-height pulleys allow for a quick transition between high, mid, and low-cable movements.
High-End Feel: Swiveling pulleys and precision rollers provide a friction-free experience comparable to high-end commercial functional trainers.
Maintenance and Care
Anchoring: This unit must be bolted to the floor before use to ensure safety and stability.
Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the aircraft-grade cables for any signs of fraying, kinking, or cracks in the protective coating. Replace cables immediately if damage is found.
Guide Rod Lubrication: Wipe down the weight stack guide rods regularly with a lint-free cloth and apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant to maintain a smooth glide.
Hardware Tightening: Periodically check that all bolts and hex nuts are torqued to spec, particularly after the first few weeks of heavy use.
Upholstery and Surface Care: Clean the powder-coated steel with mild soap and water. For "Satin Clear" finishes, avoid abrasive chemicals as this is a transparent finish that shows the raw characteristics of the steel.
