What accessories come with the FTX?
The FTX includes a triceps rope, two handles, a dual hook curl bar, a chin/dip belt, and a tablet holder for your phone or tablet.
Is a bench included, and what add-ons are available?
A bench is not included with the FTX. You can add a bench, an ab bar, a straight bar, an ankle strap, 5 lb add-on weights, and rubber D-handles separately.
How much weight can I lift?
The FTX has two 165 lb weight stacks, for 330 lbs total. The cable system has a 2:1 resistance ratio, so the most you can lift on each pulley is 82.5 lbs. The pulleys offer 30 swivel positions.
How do I adjust the pulley height?
Lift the height adjustment handle on the pulley carriage and slide the carriage to the level you want. Release the handle to lock it in place.
How big is the FTX, and how much space do I need?
The FTX is about 54 inches wide, 55 inches deep, and 82.6 inches tall, and weighs 544 lbs. The manual recommends a live area of about 9 feet wide, 8 feet deep, and 8 feet high. Anyone else in the room should stay at least 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) from the machine while you train.
How long does assembly take?
Assembly takes three main steps and uses several hardware packs. Don’t fully tighten the bolts until the manual tells you to. Lubricate the guide rods as directed, and check that all the cables sit on the pulleys before you finish.
Can I use the FTX outdoors?
No. The FTX is designed for indoor use only. Humidity can cause rust on parts such as the guide rods, which can affect performance. Don’t use or store it outdoors.
Who can use the FTX?
Only one person should use the FTX at a time. Keep children and pets away from the machine at all times. People with disabilities should only use it with a qualified person or physician in attendance. Consult a physician before starting any exercise program, especially if you’re over 35 or have a pre-existing health condition.
What safety precautions should I follow?
Place the FTX on a clear, level surface, and never use it near water. Warm up before you train, and wear running or training shoes and clothing that won’t catch on moving parts. Keep your hands away from all moving parts, and don’t use attachments the manufacturer doesn’t recommend. Don’t use the machine if it isn’t working properly. After each use, secure the machine so unauthorized people can’t access it. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have chest pain, stop immediately and consult a physician.
How do I maintain the FTX?
Inspect the links, pull pins, spring clips, swivels, and weight stack pins weekly, along with the cables, fittings, and shrouds. Clean the upholstery weekly with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent, and don’t use solvents. Every three months, check the nuts and bolts, accessory bars and handles, and anti-skid surfaces. Also clean and lubricate the guide rods with a Teflon-based lubricant, and lubricate the seat sleeves and plastic slides. Wax the glossy finishes once a year. Replace cables, belts, and connecting parts every two years. Avoid placing printed materials or styrofoam on the seat pads, and don’t leave items on them.
What should I do if a cable is worn or the tension seems off?
Cables stretch over time, so check the cable slack and adjust tension as needed. If you see splitting, cracking, fraying, or flat spots, stop using the machine and replace the cable right away. Never use the FTX with damaged or worn cables. To adjust tension, loosen the cam bolt on the selector stem and turn it until the selector stem starts to lift slightly off the weight stack, then retighten the nut. If the problem continues, contact our support team.
Does the FTX come with a Centr membership?
Yes, the FTX includes 3 free months of Centr Digital Coaching with your purchase. Members get personalized recommendations and coaching from Centr’s team to support their movement, meals, and goals.
What warranty comes with the FTX?
