The difference between the ANCORE Pro and ANCORE is the ANCORE is the original debut product, composed of fiberglass housing and a friction ring on the entrance of the cable. The ANCORE is perfect for home gym users and clinic practices. The ANCORE P

What is 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.

Can you attach the resistance plates asymmetrically?

Yes, you can attach the resistance plates asymmetrically. For example, you can have one 5 lbs plate on the right of the ANCORE and two 10 lbs plates on the left.

What's the difference between the Standard and the Plus Resistance level?

The Plus resistance set comes with a pair of additional 10 lbs plates enabling you to reach the maximum resistance of 65 lbs. The maximum resistance is achieved by attaching three 10 lbs plates per side with the base unit providing 5 lbs of resistanc

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 ANCO

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 m

How many plates can I load on my ANCORE at once?

Currently, there is a maximum of 6 resistance plates on the ANCORE at a time.

How long is the cable?

The cable has a maximum length of 8 feet.

What is the size of the ANCORE?

With all the plates attached, the ANCORE weighs about 7 pounds and is about the size of a dumbbell at 12" x 3.25" x 3" (fully loaded).

What is the size of the ANCORE Pro?

With all the plates attached, the ANCORE Pro weighs about 8 pounds and is about the size of a dumbbell at 12" x 4.75" x 3" (fully loaded).

How do I know which ANCORE model and mount is right for me?
