Our Take
The Inspire Fitness FT2 is a dual-stack functional trainer offering cable-based resistance from a relatively compact footprint. It's aimed at serious home gym users and small commercial facilities who want versatile, pulley-driven training without a full cable crossover machine. It sits firmly in the premium home/light commercial segment, competing with offerings from Body-Solid and Inspire's own broader range.
Key Features
Dual weight stacks of 165 lb (approximately 75 kg) each, providing independent resistance on both sides
19 cable positions per column, allowing a wide range of pull angles from low to high
200:1 weight increments via selector pins for straightforward resistance changes mid-session
Includes a functional trainer arm system with swivel pulleys for smooth, consistent cable travel
Built-in pull-up bar spanning the top frame, usable independently of the cable system
Comes with a range of included attachments: straight bar, curl bar, ankle strap, and handles
Our Verdict
A well-built, versatile choice for the committed home gym owner or small PT studio that prioritises cable-based training. If functional movement patterns, unilateral work, and rehab exercises are core to your routine, the FT2 delivers. Those wanting primarily free-weight or barbell training, or working with limited space, should look elsewhere.
