"Fantastic addition to my home gym. Really enjoying my Dual ANCORE system! It has been nice to add cable movements back into my routine without taking up the space of a traditional cable machine. Highly recommend!"
Brandon G.
"Exceeded expectations.So easy to use. So many different options. Both my wife and I use it daily. Where have you been all my life ANCORE!"
Victor B.
"If you are looking for a cable replacement system that doesn't take up you entire home gym, look no further. The ANCORE has virtually 0 footprint. I use mine on my rack and it extremely easy to move and reposition. ANCORE customer service has been top-notch quickly answering"
Anthony R.
"Love my new ANCORE. Even better than traditional pulley systems. The tension is uniform throughout the movement and helps deliver constant tension. Likely to buy another so I can have two units set up."
Andrew H.
"Way more resistance than I thought. Probably provides about 80% of the utility of a full sized cable machine without the bulk, weight, and taking up a lot of space. I use it in my chiropractic office for rehab purposes but also work it into my own workouts and the device is great!"
Andy P.

frequently asked questions
What's the range of resistance?

The ANCORE uses simulated resistance measured in a 1:1 ratio with an approximate range of 5 lbs to 65 lbs. For example, using six high resistance plates (~10 lbs each + 5lbs in the base) would provide a total resistance of 65 lbs.

How does the range of resistance compare to a traditional 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 uses resistance measured in a 1:1 ratio, so the resistance on the plates is equal to what you'd experience during a workout.

How does the resistance feel?

Most customers say that the resistance is similar in feeling to a pneumatic system. This is because the resistance mechanism of the ANCORE is not dependent on gravity and allows for high-speed, ballistic movements as well as slower, more controlled movements.

The resistance is generated via a torque-loaded spring mechanism. The torque curve is quite flat in the middle cable length range, where most movements are done. There is a slight progression from the first foot of cable compared to when the cable is pulled out at 8 feet. There is always tension on the cable at any point, allowing for concentric, eccentric, and isometric movements. Additionally, the resistance is not inertial or flywheel-based.

Does the ANCORE or ANCORE Pro require installation?

ANCORE and ANCORE Pro do not require installation with the Rack Mount and Strap Mount options.

Only the Wall Mount and the Sliding Track Mount require installation. ANCORE provides all the hardware and detailed instructions to ensure a seamless installation. We recommend a space where the Sliding Track Mount and Wall Mount can be installed securely to a wall stud.

    Amazing

    Best gym purchase ever for the home. I hope the cable lasts long but as far as usability it is amazing . The adjustable strap is not sufficient so buying the other connector was great(just a little too pricey) - overall the set up is perfect

    Pro solution for the Pro or Joe athlete

    I’ve been a performance coach for professional, Olympic, and international athletes for 20 years. As part of offering elite performance we use elite equipment. There’s some pieces that have long held my view as necessities amongst peak performance. It’s been a long time since something has come along that my athletes love, my post surgery clients love, that my family loves. The Ancore system just stepped up and will be a staple in our training facilities and our home.
