The Volksgym Functional Trainer S5-13 is a dual-stack cable crossover station from the S5 mid-range professional series — the line that gives small commercial gyms and serious home setups professional cable training without the CF-series price tag. With dual 82 Kg weight stacks (164 Kg total) and a gross weight of 290 Kg, the S5-13 is a substantial piece of equipment that handles everything from cable flyes and tricep pushdowns to woodchops, face pulls, and full-body functional movements. At AED 14,399, it's the middle option in Volksgym's three-tier functional trainer range.

Who Should Buy the S5-13?

Personal training studios and boutique gyms that need commercial-grade cable training without the AED 22,000+ commercial price. The S5-13's dual 82 Kg stacks cover virtually every cable exercise any client will need, and the 290 Kg total machine weight means it stays planted during heavy unilateral pulls. It's the functional trainer that lets a PT studio offer full cable programming without a commercial-gym budget.

Home gym owners who want one machine that does everything. A functional trainer replaces a cable crossover, lat pulldown, low row, tricep station, and cable fly machine — all in a single footprint. If you can only buy one machine for an AED 15,000 budget, the S5-13 gives you the broadest exercise library of anything in the Volksgym catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the S5-13 cost more than the VG-5090 despite having less stack weight?
Frame grade and commercial durability. The S5-13 uses S5 mid-range professional construction designed for multi-user environments — sturdier pulleys, heavier guide rods, and frame geometry rated for constant daily use. The VG-5090 (AED 11,199) has heavier stacks (100 Kg × 2) but is built for home/light-commercial use where the machine sees one owner, not 20 daily users.

How many exercises can I do on a functional trainer?
Hundreds. Cable machines are the most versatile strength training tool — any angle, any direction, any height. Common exercises: cable flyes, tricep pushdowns, bicep curls, face pulls, woodchops, cable rows, lat pulldowns (with optional pull-up bar), cable kickbacks, and every functional movement pattern for sport-specific training.

Can I do pull-ups on the S5-13?
Check whether your unit includes a pull-up bar attachment — many functional trainers include an overhead bar for pull-ups and chin-ups. Contact us to confirm your unit's specification.
