Frame14-Gauge Steel
Warranty12-Month Parts Replacement Warranty

If you train at home and want a squat rack and cable station in one footprint, the CORTEX PR-5 pairs a 14-gauge steel frame with dual pulleys rated to 100kg per side. J-hooks hold 220kg, the safety spotters take 200kg, and 15 numbered height positions let you set the bar and cables exactly where your lifts need them.

It suits a serious lifter working in a shared or tight space: the frame folds from 170cm to 98cm wide, giving the floor back between sessions. With a pull-up bar, chest press and fly station, landmine holder and included lat and low-row bars, one rig covers both heavy barbell work and cable training.

Is this functional trainer right for you?

This functional trainer is right for you if:

  • You want cable work, barbell training and pull-ups from one station in a single footprint
  • You fold the frame down to 98 cm wide to reclaim floor space between sessions
  • You lift heavy and need J-hooks rated to 220 kg and safety spotters to 200 kg
  • You train at home and want 100 kg per side on the pulleys for presses, rows and flyes

Look at another option if:

  • You only want a simple squat and press rack with no cable stations
  • You want a higher-capacity pulley than 100 kg per side for heavy cable loading
  • You have no space to work two people around a 176 cm x 170 cm assembled footprint
  • You are not able to arrange a two-person assembly across 15 steps

Adela's Take

What grabs me on the PR-5 is the fold: it drops from 170cm to 98cm wide, so you reclaim real floor between sessions. Rare on a full rack-plus-trainer.

The 100kg-per-side cable limit means it isn't built for heavy lat-pulldown loading. For pressing and spotting work, those padded J-hooks rated to 220kg are where it earns its keep.

Foldable Frame, 170 cm to 98 cm Folded Width

The frame folds back against the wall, dropping the footprint from 170 cm wide to 98 cm when you're not training. That gives you the floor back for a shared garage, spare room or multi-use space.

  • Assembled dimensions: 176 cm L x 170 cm W x 220 cm H
  • Folded dimensions: 176 cm L x 98 cm W x 220 cm H
  • Recovers 72 cm of floor width when folded
  • Stands 220 cm tall, so confirm your ceiling clears it before building

What this means for you: If your gym doubles as a garage or spare room, you can fold it flat and park the car or open the space back up.

CORTEX PR-5 Folding Functional Trainer and Power Rack Space-Saving Foldable Design feature

Six Training Stations in One Frame

This is a functional trainer and a power rack in a single unit, so you can run cable work, pressing, pull-ups and barbell lifts without a second machine. One frame covers most of a full-body programme.

  • Dual pulley trainer for cable movements
  • Chest press and fly station
  • Pull up / chin up bar
  • Landmine bar holder for rotational and pressing work
  • Takes standard 6 ft and Olympic 7 ft barbells

What this means for you: One frame handles cable, bodyweight and barbell training, so you don't need to buy three separate pieces of kit.

CORTEX PR-5 Folding Functional Trainer and Power Rack Versatile Training Options feature

14-Gauge Steel Frame with 2,000 lb Cables

The frame is built from 14-gauge steel and the cables carry a 2,000 lb tensile rating, so the unit holds up to heavy, repeated loading. At 134 kg assembled, it sits planted during pull-ups and heavy pulls.

  • 14-gauge steel frame
  • Cables rated to 2,000 lb tensile strength
  • J-hooks rated to 220 kg
  • Safety spotters rated to 200 kg
  • Pull up bar rated to 200 kg
  • Assembled weight: 134 kg

What this means for you: The load ratings mean this frame grows with the lifter rather than topping out after your first strength gains.

CORTEX PR-5 Folding Functional Trainer and Power Rack Durable Construction and Reliable Hardware feature

15 Numbered Height Positions

The uprights carry 15 numbered height positions, so you can set the J-hooks and safety spotters at the right level for squats, presses and rack pulls. The numbering means you repeat the exact same setup every session.

  • 15 numbered height positions
  • Padded J-hooks reposition across the full range
  • Padded safety spotters adjust to catch height
  • Numbered scale makes repeatable setup quick between lifts

What this means for you: Numbered positions let you move the hooks for the next exercise and reset them identically next time, with no guesswork.

CORTEX PR-5 Folding Functional Trainer and Power Rack Adjustable Height Settings feature

Onboard Weight and Bar Storage

Built-in plate holders and bar storage keep your Olympic and standard plates on the frame instead of on the floor. Each weight plate holder is rated to 100 kg, so the bulk of a home plate set lives on the unit.

  • Integrated weight and bar storage
  • Weight plate holders rated to 100 kg per holder
  • Holds both Olympic and standard plates
  • Keeps plates off the floor and within reach between sets

What this means for you: Storing plates on the frame keeps the surrounding floor clear, which matters most when you fold the unit away.

Attachment Pack Included in the Box

The attachments you need to start training come in the box, so there's no separate shopping list before your first session. That covers cable pulldowns, rows, landmine work and banded exercises straight away.

  • 2x padded J-hooks
  • 2x padded safety spots
  • 1x lat pulldown bar
  • 1x low row bar
  • 1x barbell landmine handle
  • Band pegs included
  • Cable pulleys rated to 100 kg per side

What this means for you: You can run cable, barbell and band work from day one without buying extra handles first.

CORTEX PR-5 Folding Functional Trainer and Power Rack Included Training Attachments feature

Two-Person Assembly with a 15-Step Manual

Assembly is a two-person job that follows 15 steps in the manual, and the bolts and fixings come in the box. You'll need a spanner or wrench, or an Allen key.

At 142 kg total shipping weight across three cartons, plan for a hand to move it into place before you start.

  • 15 assembly steps in the manual
  • Two-person build recommended
  • Tools needed: a spanner / wrench or Allen key
  • All bolts and fixings included
  • Ships in 3 cartons, 142 kg total
  • Backed by a 12-month parts replacement warranty

What this means for you: Have a second pair of hands ready and work through the steps in order, and the build is a straightforward bolt-together job.

Setup reality

  1. This is a job for at least two people, following the 15 steps in the manual.
  2. You'll need a spanner or wrench, or an Allen key, to secure the fixings. All bolts and fasteners are included in the box.
  3. The unit arrives in three cartons totalling 142kg; clear a flat space before unpacking as the frame itself weighs 134kg.
  4. Once assembled, the PR-5 stands 220cm tall and 98cm wide when folded, so confirm your ceiling height and storage footprint in advance.
  5. The 12-month parts replacement warranty covers manufacturing defects; verify any damage on arrival before assembly begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit under a standard ceiling?

At 220cm tall, the PR-5 needs a little over 2.2m of clearance. A standard Australian ceiling is around 2.4m, so it fits comfortably in most rooms. Measure your actual ceiling first, and leave a few centimetres above the pull-up bar for your hands. Garages and basements with lower beams are the ones to check carefully before you commit.

How much floor space do I need, and does folding really help?

Assembled it's 176cm long by 170cm wide. Folded, the width drops to 98cm, so it tucks much closer to the wall between sessions. That's genuinely useful if the rack shares a garage with cars or a spare room with other gear. The height stays 220cm either way, so plan vertical clearance around the full footprint.

What does the 100kg per side cable load mean for the weight I actually lift?

The dual pulleys are plate-loaded, rated to 100kg per side. That covers rows, pressdowns and fly work for most home lifters. The manual doesn't publish a pulley ratio, so judge the feel by the handle rather than the number on the plates. The 2,000lb tensile cables handle that load with plenty of margin. Load each side independently to suit the exercise.

What barbells and plates can I use with it?

It takes standard 6ft or Olympic 7ft barbells, and both Olympic and standard plates. The J-hooks are rated to 220kg and safety spotters to 200kg, so it handles serious squatting and pressing loads. There are weight and bar storage points built into the frame too, so your plates stay off the floor and within reach.

Who is this rack built for?

It suits a lifter who wants a full training station in one footprint: power rack, functional trainer and press/fly work together. With 15 numbered height positions and a 220kg J-hook rating, it grows from beginner to experienced. If you only ever bodyweight train, it's more rack than you need, but for barbell plus cable work it earns its space.

How does it ship and what should I expect on delivery day?

It arrives as three cartons with a total shipping weight of 142kg. The longest carton is 230cm, so clear a path to your training space before the courier arrives. The cartons are heavy (45 to 49kg each), so have a second person on hand to move them inside. Check all three are present against the delivery before signing.

What's involved in assembly?

It's a two-person job with 15 steps in the manual. You'll need a spanner or wrench, or an Allen key; all bolts and fixings are included. The finished unit weighs 134kg, so build it in its permanent spot rather than moving it afterwards. Work through the steps in order and keep fixings grouped, and you'll have a sturdy, square frame by the end.

What's the warranty, and what if I change my mind?

The PR-5 comes with a 12-month parts replacement warranty, handled by us. If this page shows the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee badge, you have 100 days to return it as-new, disassembled and in its original packaging with all parts.
