Setting up a home gym can feel overwhelming, especially when space and budget are limited. That’s why choosing equipment that serves more than one purpose is a smart move.
The Cable Tower to Functional Trainer Conversion Kit is designed to help you do exactly that—turn your cable towers into a functional trainer and squat rack combo.
What Is the Conversion Kit For?
The Cable Tower to Functional Trainer Conversion Kit is made to upgrade existing cable towers so they can function as both a cable machine and a squat rack. Here are a few reasons why this upgrade makes sense:
Supports Heavier Weight
Many traditional functional trainers don’t offer enough weight for people who lift heavier. This kit allows you to use a dual weight stacks, giving you more room to grow stronger. This conversion kit is also available for plate-loaded Cable Towers.
Compact Design
The design takes up very little space, which makes it great for home gyms. You don’t need a large room to make it work.
Makes Use of What You Already Own
If you already have Bells of Steel Cable Towers, this kit helps you get more use out of them without having to buy a brand-new machine.
Unlocks Barbell Exercises
Make the most of your space by combining your cable training and barbell training in one, space-savvy footprint. Who says you can't have it all? Not us. Maybe your spouse...
What’s Included in the Kit
Here are the key features that come with the conversion kit:
J-Cups
These hold your barbell in place and come with protective lining to help prevent damage.
Safety Spotters
Shorter than standard spotters, these provide safety during lifts without taking up too much space.
Shorter Feet
The shorter feet make the whole setup more compact and easier to fit in smaller gym spaces.
Pull-Up Bar
This mounts at the top and includes different grip options, so you can do a variety of pull-up styles.
Swivel Shackles for More Versatility
The Swivel Shackles attach to the cable system and rotate during your setup. This helps reduce wear and tear on the cables and allows for smoother motion and offers more versatility with carabiners and range of motion. They’re especially helpful for exercises like tricep pushdowns, rows, and curls.
Exercises You Can Do
Once set up, this equipment supports a wide range of exercises, including:
- Squats – With the barbell secured by the J-cups and spotters.
- Bench Presses – Add a bench to your setup and you're ready to go.
- Cable Exercises – Rows, curls, tricep pushdowns, and more using the pulleys.
- Pull-Ups – Use the pull-up bar for upper body training.
Final Thoughts
The Cable Tower to Functional Trainer Conversion Kit is a practical and cost-effective solution for anyone looking to upgrade their home gym. It helps save space, offers more workout options, and adds value to equipment you may already own.
If you’re looking for a way to do more with less space, this conversion kit is a great option to consider.
