What Is a Functional Trainer?

The short answer is that a Functional Trainer is a strength-training machine with adjustable cable and pulley systems. The equipment allows users to perform different resistance exercises by changing pulley positions and attachments.

Functional Trainer is a cable-based strength machine designed for varied resistance exercises and movement patterns.

Here, “Functional Trainer” means fitness equipment, not a personal fitness trainer or fitness-training service.
