What types of functional trainers are there?

Functional trainers can be divided into two different types: single pulleys and dual pulleys.

Single pulleys are functional trainers with a handle, and sometimes two handles, that are attached to a stack of weights by means of a steel cable. By pulling the handle you ensure that the weight stack is lifted.

Dual pulleys are functional trainers with two handles and two cables that each control a separate weight stack. The big advantage of a dual pulley compared to a single pulley is that it gives you the opportunity to do more exercises.

The quality of a pulley depends on the quality of the pulleys and the cables used. A good pulley ensures that you immediately feel the effect, this should be a comfortable, smooth stroke. In addition, it is important to look at the cable ratio. A ratio of 1:2 is often used, i.e. the weight is halved. Example: 50kg is a maximum of 25kg.
