FAQs
A functional trainer is essentially a piece of equipment that combines a range of different, separate machines. Generally, they look like a massive cage, chock-full of various weights, bars, pulleys and cables. Depending on the functional trainer you opt for, the inclusions may be different, but in short, even the most basic of these machines are some of the most versatile pieces of gym equipment ever conceived - and a definite must-have for any gym set up.
If you ask us, functional trainers are worth every cent! They can be used by all ages and fitness levels, plus they offer practically endless workout options. Not to mention, functional trainers are also safer than most exercising equipment and much less intimidating, which is a huge win if you’re just getting started on your fitness journey. Basically, if you’re looking for a great full-body workout that accommodates your space, budget and goals, then a functional trainer is definitely worth your consideration!
The real question is, what exercises can’t you do on a functional trainer! Being a multipurpose machine with a huge array of available attachments, the exercises you can and can’t do are really only limited by your own imagination. To list a few, some of our favourite functional trainer exercises are: chest press, seated shoulder press, standing bicep curl, glute kickback, tricep pushdown, ad crunch, pullups, and bent legged deadlifts.
A cable crossover machine is a versatile piece of gym equipment that uses cables, pulleys, and adjustable weight stacks to target various muscle groups. It allows you to perform controlled movements that mimic real-life actions, building strength and coordination.
Cable exercises are very effective for building chest muscles. They allow for a wide range of motion, targeting different chest areas, and provide controlled resistance for optimal muscle growth.
Both free weights and cable machines have their advantages. Free weights offer greater exercise variety and can help develop explosive power, while cable machines provide safer, more controlled movements, making them ideal for beginners and targeting specific muscles. The best choice depends on your experience level and fitness goals.
Plate-loaded machines offer several advantages, including affordability, flexibility to use your existing weight plates, and a higher weight capacity for very heavy lifting.
Functional trainers are called "multi-functional" because they often include additional features beyond basic cables and pulleys, such as Smith machines for guided barbell workouts, pull-up bars, and dip stations. This allows for a broader range of exercises in a single piece of equipment.
Functional trainers are great for everyone! Beginners benefit from the controlled movements, experienced lifters can challenge themselves, and those recovering from injuries can use them for precise, low-impact strength-building.
Multi-functional trainers primarily focus on cable and pulley systems, sometimes with a few extra attachments. Multi-station home gyms are larger and offer a wider array of workout stations, like lat pulldowns, leg presses, etc.
Yes! Many functional trainers are designed specifically for home gyms, offering a space-saving way to get a full-body workout compared to having multiple separate machines.
The possibilities are almost endless! Examples include chest presses, flyes, rows, bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder raises, lat pulldowns, squats, lunges, leg curls, and core exercises like twists and crunches.
