The Tori Functional Trainer Rack is the first commercial grade power rack to fully integrate dual 150kg cable stacks into a single footprint. Designed and engineered by VERVE Fitness in Australia, Tori eliminates the oldest compromise in gym design: floor space versus training versatility. One footprint. Every movement.

  • Modern strength training demands both heavy barbell work and cable based functional movement, yet the equipment forces a choice. Commercial power racks and functional trainers compete for the same floor space, pushing boutique studios, allied health clinics, and home gym owners into an impossible trade off. VERVE set a deliberate brief: engineer a single unit delivering genuine commercial power rack performance and a full dual stack cable machine within a standard rack footprint. The solution had to integrate with VERVE's existing 75x75mm modular ecosystem, maintain full cable travel under 2:1 pulley ratios, and remain structurally certified for 450kg barbell loads.

  • The Tori Functional Trainer Rack embeds dual 150kg weight stacks directly inside its 75x75x3mm steel uprights, using the same structural frame that carries heavy barbell loads. A 2:1 pulley ratio delivers full cable travel across every movement pattern. Spring loaded pins enable tool free height adjustment in under two seconds. Westside hole spacing ensures forward compatibility with the global strength training standard. Critically, Tori anchors a modular ecosystem: lat pulldown, low row, storage, and optional rear Smith Machine all attach to the same frame. The product grows with the user rather than being replaced, one footprint, infinitely extensible.

  • Since launching in November 2025, Tori has become VERVE Fitness's best selling product, adopted across commercial gyms, high-performance sports teams, Olympic training facilities, boutique studios, allied health clinics, hotels, and home setups. By replacing three to four separate machines with one, Tori cuts new facility equipment spend substantially and frees floor space in rental-constrained urban environments. Its modular architecture extends product lifetime across a decade of upgrades, dramatically reducing embedded steel and waste. Major competitors have since released imitation rack-and-stack combinations, validating a category Tori defined. In 2026, Tori leads VERVE's United States market launch.
