5-Station Jungle Gym | BodyKore (GM5005)

Five Cable-Training Positions in One System

The BodyKore GM5005 brings five selectorized training positions together in one commercial jungle gym. Its layout combines dedicated lat pulldown, seated row, and triceps stations with opposing cable crossover positions for a broad range of upper-body, lower-body, and core exercises.

This station-based design serves a different purpose than a single-user functional trainer. Rather than requiring every exercise to share one training area, the GM5005 organizes several commonly used cable functions around one central frame so multiple areas can be used independently when facility procedures and exercise selection permit.

Lat Pulldown Station

The dedicated lat pulldown station supports vertical pulling movements for the back and arms. A fixed training position gives users a consistent place to set resistance, secure their body position, and perform controlled pulldown exercises.

A lat pulldown bar is among the included attachments.

Seated Row and Low-Row Training

The seated row station provides a dedicated position for horizontal pulling exercises. Its low cable path supports rowing patterns while keeping the adjustable cable crossover positions available for other movements.

Users should select the appropriate attachment, confirm the selector pin is fully engaged, and maintain a controlled cable path throughout each repetition.

Fixed Triceps Station

A fixed triceps-extension station gives users a dedicated location for pushdowns and related cable exercises. Side handles and a back cushion help define the training position while the selectorized stack allows resistance to be changed without loading loose plates.

A triceps rope is among the included attachments.

Opposing Cable Crossover Positions

The adjustable cable crossover area provides two opposing pulley positions for bilateral and unilateral cable exercises. Adjustable pulley placement allows the cable angle to be changed for presses, fly movements, rows, curls, triceps exercises, and other cable-based training patterns.

The open space between the pulley positions is part of the working area and should remain clear during use. Room planning must account for cable travel, user movement, and access from both sides of the crossover.

Selectorized Resistance

The GM5005 uses selectorized weight stacks so resistance can be changed by moving a selector pin rather than loading and unloading individual plates. Precision-cut stack plates, galvanized steel cables, and linear-bearing guide rods support the machine’s cable-driven exercise stations.

The resistance felt at a handle may differ from the weight shown on the stack because cable ratios and movement geometry can affect working resistance. Buyers should evaluate the practical resistance available at each station rather than relying only on total stack weight.

Optional 340 lb. Weight-Stack Upgrades

Optional 340 lb. weight-stack upgrades are available for compatible GM5005 stations and are sold separately. These upgrades provide additional selectorized resistance while preserving the machine’s existing station layout.

Optional Olympic Weight Extender

The optional BodyKore weight extender pin allows additional resistance to be added to a compatible selectorized stack using 2-inch Olympic plates. The pin can accommodate up to two 45 lb. Olympic plates and is sold separately from the GM5005.

Olympic plates are not included with the extender. Confirm station compatibility before adding the accessory to the machine.

Commercial Frame and Cable Components

The GM5005 is built around an 11-gauge steel frame with an electrostatic powder-coat finish. Rolled oval tubing forms the main structure, while rubber feet support the frame at the floor.

Additional details include galvanized steel cables, linear-bearing guide rods, molded contoured cushions, aluminum grip collars, and neoprene-composite hand grips. These components are intended to support repeated selectorized cable use in indoor training environments.

Product Dimensions and Room Planning

The assembled GM5005 measures approximately 203 inches long, 144 inches wide and 92 inches high. That equals roughly 16 feet 11 inches long, 12 feet wide and 7 feet 8 inches high before adding working clearance.

These measurements describe the equipment itself. Additional room is required for entry and exit, cable crossover movements, attachment changes, maintenance access, and circulation around the individual stations.

Before ordering, confirm ceiling height and measure the complete path from the receiving area to the installation room, including doors, hallways, corners, elevators, stairways, and any overhead obstructions.

Equipment Weight and Floor Planning

The supplied product weight is approximately 1,463 lbs. before users, optional stack upgrades, or Olympic plates are added. The machine should be installed on a stable indoor surface appropriate for the complete equipment configuration.

Upper-level installations, raised floors, and locations with uncertain structural conditions should be reviewed by an appropriately qualified facility or structural professional. Flooring can protect the surrounding training surface, but it does not determine the building’s load capacity.

Explore rubber gym flooring when planning the strength room around the machine.

Indoor Facility Applications

The GM5005 is intended for indoor use and requires no electrical power. Its five-position format can suit commercial fitness centers, schools, universities, apartment fitness rooms, corporate wellness facilities, hotels, personal training studios, and larger private strength rooms when its dimensions, station mix, and use rating match the facility’s needs.

Product-level eligibility for military, government, or contract purchasing must be confirmed separately before ordering.

Freight and Receiving Preparation

The GM5005 is shipped unassembled by palletized LTL freight. Before shipment, confirm the package count, pallet or crate dimensions, total shipping weight, liftgate needs, loading-dock access, delivery appointment requirements, and responsibility for unloading.

Standard curbside freight service should not be assumed to include movement into the building, room placement, unpacking, debris removal, or assembly. Inspect the shipment promptly and follow the carrier and seller procedures for documenting visible or concealed freight damage.

Assembly and Installation

Assembly is required. The frame, weight stacks, cables, pulleys, guide rods, cushions, and exercise components must be assembled and checked according to the current BodyKore instructions.

Professional assembly is not required, but buyers should consider the machine’s overall size, weight, station count, and delivery path when deciding whether to use qualified installers. Do not place the machine into service until all hardware is secure, cables are routed correctly, selector pins engage fully, and every station moves as intended.

Included and Optional Equipment

The base GM5005 includes the five-position machine, selectorized resistance system, and manufacturer-supplied exercise attachments associated with the current configuration.

Optional 340 lb. weight-stack upgrades, Olympic weight extender pins, Olympic plates, flooring, inside delivery, and installation services are sold separately.

Warranty Overview

The supplied warranty summary lists lifetime frame coverage excluding coatings, 10 years on weight stacks, pulleys and pivot bearings, three years on other unspecified components, one year on upholstery, cables, springs and grips, and six months on accessories.

Coverage may vary according to purchaser type, facility use, assembly, maintenance, and the current manufacturer terms.

Compare Similar Equipment

If you're comparing multi-user strength systems, the BodyKore GM5005 offers more dedicated training positions than many all-in-one gyms while maintaining a selectorized cable layout for efficient commercial use. Facilities looking for a compact all-in-one solution with a Smith machine can compare the BodyKore MX1162 Universal Trainer, while those wanting a Smith machine with dual adjustable pulleys may prefer the BodyKore MX1162-MF Smith Machine. For another commercial all-in-one strength system, consider the BodyKore MX1161FX Dynamic Trainer, or browse our complete selection of Commercial Jungle Gym Cable Machines to compare additional multi-station cable systems.

Buyers who need a Smith machine, barbell rack, or all-in-one free-weight platform should compare a Smith and functional-trainer system rather than assuming the GM5005 serves the same training role.
