Ancore Pro Trainer Portable Home Gym Cable Machine
--

The Ancore Pro Trainer (pronounced anchor) is a portable home gym cable machine created by Ancore Training.

It's meant to replace a cable machine and can be used in home gyms or therapy settings.

With the mounting strap, it can be attached to posts, fences, weight racks, etc.

There's also a rack mount and a sliding track mount for wall units.

Ancore vs Ancore Pro
--

The original Ancore is made of a fiberglass housing and has a friction ring on the entrance of the cable.

The Ancore Pro is the second generation model that has a machined metal plate for increased durability.

Instead of a friction ring it has two metal rollers that give cable exercises a smooth feel.

Ancore Trainer vs Home Gym Cable Machine
--

Traditional cable machines are designed at 2:1 or 4:1 ratios using pulleys or levers to achieve a mechanical advantage.

For example, using a 2:1 pulley cable machine, the 130 lbs plate is approximately equivalent to 65 lbs of force required.

The Ancore trainer uses resistance measured in a 1:1 ratio, so the resistance on the plates is what you’re actually pulling.

Pros & Cons
--

Pros:

➡️ Portable: Mounting strap can be wrapped around a rack, post, fence, and anything you can think of.

➡️ Retractable Cable: No cables hanging everywhere when you’re done exercising

➡️ Space Saving: Only takes up 12″ of space when fully loaded, making it way more compact than a full size cable machine

➡️ Versatile: Exercise just like with any cable machine, move it up and down your rack to change angles

➡️ Explosiveness: Can do power movements without plates crashing down

➡️ Smooth Motion: Cable flows smoothly throughout the movements

--
Cons
--

➡️ Max Resistance: At 65 lbs of resistance per unit you won’t be able to do heavy compound lifts but for isolation exercises it works great.

Ancore Pro Trainer Review
--

I like how compact, space saving, and smooth the Ancore Pro trainer is.

As far as quality goes, it’s built with heavy duty materials so I don’t see it breaking down any time soon.

It’s great for unilateral cable isolation exercises and can also work as a functional trainer if you get the Dual Ancore Pro (2 units).

If you’re looking for a compact home gym cable machine without the big foot print of a functional trainer, this one is premium quality.
