THE DANE 2.0
The Dane 2.0 features a half rack in the front with a commercial grade functional trainer built into the rack. The combination of squat rack & functional trainer in one provides a smaller footprint (and lower price point) than two stand alone units. With a length of only 60” from front to back, The Dane 2.0 is extremely space efficient for all the functionality it brings to the table. The squat rack is sturdy, commercial grade, and includes a pair of low-profile spotter arms for performing squats outside the rack. The pulley system is also highly adjustable, allowing you to customize the angle, range of motion, and resistance for each exercise.
COMMERCIAL GRADE PULLEY SYSTEM
The Dane 2.0 features dual 160lb weight stacks with a 1:1 pulley ratio, so 100lbs feels like 100lbs.
A 1:1 pulley ratio provides the same heavy resistance while requiring half the stack size of a 2:1 system. This means the Dane 2.0 can maintain a compact 60” footprint without compromising on performance. By maximizing resistance in a smaller design, this functional trainer saves space and cost, making it a smarter investment for compact spaces.
LET'S TALK UPGRADES
One of the biggest upgrades on the Dane 2.0 is the improved top plate design, which has been reduced from 10lbs to 5lbs based on user feedback. Many lifters requested a lighter starting weight for more precise adjustments, especially for isolation exercises, rehab work, and beginner-friendly training. We've also added a dedicated hole for the selector pin when using only the top plate, making it easier and more secure to lock in your starting weight.
We’ve also re-engineered the weight stack design to be more compact, which increases cable travel outside of the rack. The Dane 1.0 allowed for 5 feet of cable movement, but the Dane 2.0 extends nearly 6 feet, giving you more freedom for full-range movements. Despite this increased range of motion, the Dane 2.0 maintains its dual 160lb weight stacks with a 1:1 pulley ratio, delivering true-to-weight resistance in a compact footprint.
The Dane 2.0 is also equipped with upgraded aluminum pulleys featuring a wider pulley channel, which minimizes friction and drag. This ensures a more direct force transfer and an overall smoother pull.
The pulley cables reach 5.8' outside the rack and operate on a 180 degree swivel, giving you plenty of room for cable work outside the rack. With a height of 93", The Dane 2.0 provides plenty of reach for high & low cable positions, like lat pull-downs and low rows.
The Dane 2.0 Functional Trainer features custom-fit rollers that allow the trolleys to glide effortlessly up and down the rack. Designed for ease of use, the trolleys are light enough to be moved with just one hand, making them incredibly user-friendly. Despite their lightweight design, these trolleys remain rock-solid during use. Once the pop pin is secure, they won’t budge.
THE RACK
Don't let the pulley system steal the show, the rack portion of The Dane 2.0 is just as enticing. Made from 11-gauge steel, The Dane 2.0 features a commercial grade squat rack with a 1,200lb weight capacity. The uprights are 3" X 3" with 1" holes.
The Dane comes with a pair of extension feet which increase the stability at the base of the rack while squatting. It also includes a pair of low-profile spotter arms for squatting outside the rack. The upgraded sandwich j-cups have a thick lining of UHMW plastic so there's never steel on steel contact with your barbell.
Both the inside and the outside of each upright is sprayed with a thorough layer of high-quality powder-coat, making it extremely rust resistant, especially in more humid climates.

Dual 160lb Weight Stacks
The Dane 2.0 features dual 160lb weight stacks with a 1:1 pulley ratio. Both weight stacks are adjustable from 10lb - 160lbs in 10lb increments. With a the new compact weight stack design, the pulley cables reach 5.8' outside the rack and move on a 180 degree swivel, giving you plenty of room for cable work outside the rack.
Commercial Grade Squat Rack
Along with the functional trainer, The Dane 2.0 also features a commercial grade squat rack in the front. Every Dane includes a pair of low-profile spotter arms for squatting outside of the rack and a pair of extension feet for extra stability at the base of the rack while squatting.
Commercial Grade Pulley System
The Dane 2.0 now features higher-quality aluminum pulleys with a larger diameter, creating an even smoother pull compared to the Dane 1.0. This upgrade reduces friction and drag, allowing for fluid motion and better control throughout each rep. In addition to performance improvements, we’ve given the Dane 2.0 a bold new look with Warhawk Red accents on the pulleys and accessories, adding an aggressive yet sleek aesthetic to the rack.
THE DREAM SQUAT RACK FOR EVERY HOME GYM
30 Workouts you can do with the Dane 2.0
The weight stacks weigh 160lbs each, so you get 320lbs of total resistance. Both weight stacks are adjustable from 10lb - 160lbs in 10lb increments.
A 1:1 pulley ratio means the weight you select is the actual weight you feel when lifting or pulling.
If you’re doing a lat pulldown and select 100lbs, you will feel exactly 100lbs of resistance. Some functional trainers have a 2:1 ratio, meaning selecting 100lbs would actually feel like 50lbs because the pulley system reduces the load.
A 1:1 ratio is great for strength training because it provides a more realistic resistance, similar to free weights.
No, you do not need to bolt down the Dane 2.0. The weight stacks and extension feet provide rock solid stability, even when performing movements like kipping pull-ups or muscle ups.
