Nexus Functional Trainers

Yes. NEXUS combines a squat rack, pull-up station and cable machine in one modular system. The range uses 3 Series or 5 Series rack platforms with integrated cable stacks, allowing barbell, bodyweight and cable training from the same footprint.

Yes, depending on the configuration. The full NEXUS rack provides two squat bays, two pull-up stations and dual cable stacks, supporting simultaneous training on separate stations when the exercises do not interfere. Compact versions provide one squat and one pull-up station and therefore have lower simultaneous capacity.

Choose the NEXUS configuration from available floor area, number of users and whether you need one or two squat bays. Compact and wall-mounted versions reduce depth, while full, combo and back-to-back formats add more stations for PT studios, commercial gyms and elite performance spaces. 3 Series suits modular commercial use; 5 Series adds Westside spacing and advanced performance options.

Buy a complete NEXUS system when you need a new rack and cables together. Use an upgrade kit when you already own a compatible current 3 Series or 5 Series rack and want to add cable functionality without replacing the full rack.

A complete NEXUS configuration includes the rack structure and integrated cable system specified for that setup; storage, attachments, benches and cable handles vary by configuration and may be extra. Use the final configured equipment list rather than assuming every NEXUS system includes the same accessories.

Start with the rack footprint, then allow barbell loading space, cable travel and user circulation. Wall mounted and compact NEXUS racks are 1.2m wide and 0.8m deep, and full racks 1.2m wide and 1.9m deep; the working area must be larger than those fixed footprints.

NEXUS cable stacks are 120kg as standard with a 2:1 pulley ratio; compact and wall mounted racks have one cable column, while full and back-to-back racks have twin columns. A 150kg stack is available on enquiry. Use the resistance stated for the exact NEXUS configuration rather than assuming all cable machines share the same effective loading behaviour.

The current NEXUS upgrade platform is for compatible 3 Series and 5 Series racks. Match the exact rack type, series and height to the upgrade kit; do not assume older Goliath or Samson racks are compatible with a current NEXUS kit without confirmation.

Anchoring follows the rack configuration and installation guide. 5 Series racks require bolting to the wall or ground; wall-mounted NEXUS must also be fixed to a suitable structure, while the 3 Series Freestanding NEXUS Full and Compact Racks need no floor fixings. Confirm the exact anchoring requirement for the selected 3 or 5 Series configuration before installation.

Included handles, safeties and bench accessories vary by NEXUS product. Treat the rack, cable system and stated included components as the base, then check whether J-Hooks, safeties, cable handles, storage and bench are included or need to be added separately in the configured quote.

Compare the complete configured NEXUS price with the cost and floor area of a separate rack plus a standalone cable machine, not just the frame prices. NEXUS is strongest where combining both functions in one footprint reduces duplication, while separate units can make more sense if several users need independent stations at the same time.

Service and replacement support depends on the NEXUS model and cable components. Inspect cables and pulleys for wear and use the product model or SKU when requesting parts or maintenance support.

The Nexus rack lineup offers high-quality racks across the 3 and 5 series for both home and professional gyms with the NEXUS functional trainer range combining free weight with cable-strength training.

We recommend allowing 300mm of space from the wall on either side of the plates to provide clearance for the bumper storage.

You can add a wide range of attachments including pull‑up/dip bars, landmine attachments, weight plate storage pegs, cable systems, safety arms, and more.

The 5 Series is fully customisable - from colour and laser-cut branding to stainless steel construction, J-Hook colour accents, and stack guards. It’s the most tailored range in the BLK BOX lineup.

A NEXUS functional trainer combines a squat rack, pull-up station and cable column in one footprint, so barbell, bodyweight and cable exercises share one frame instead of needing a separate rack and cable machine. Attachments and storage then extend it as your training develops.
