Summary

Engineered for versatility, the 953 Functional Trainer by Legend Fitness delivers smooth, balanced resistance for virtually unlimited training options. With 20 height settings on each chrome-plated adjustment column, this dual-stack cable system supports precise positioning for any movement pattern. Each pulley glides on high-grade bearings and is made from PowerMax glass-reinforced nylon, ensuring lasting durability and minimal cable wear—even under heavy, daily usage.

The machine ships with dual 150 lb weight stacks and features a 2:1 pulley ratio, allowing for controlled resistance ideal for both rehab-focused training and advanced performance work. Heavier stack upgrades—200, 250, or 300 lbs per side—are available to scale with training demands. Whether used by a single user for bilateral exercises or by two users simultaneously, the 953 adapts seamlessly to the task. A knurled, eyelet-equipped bar and two webbed grip handles come standard, with accessory hooks on the top crossmember for efficient storage and quick transitions.

The frame is fully welded with only eight bolts total, significantly reducing maintenance and increasing rigidity. This rugged structure is paired with bolt-down ready footplates and laser-cut numbering for fast, consistent setup. Like all Legend selectorized machines, the 953 is handmade in Knoxville, TN from American steel, backed by a 15-year warranty, and built to perform in even the most demanding environments.

A wide and neutral grip pull-up bar adds even more functionality, allowing users to alternate between cable and bodyweight exercises with ease. Combined with the open floor design and broad working area, the 953 supports explosive movements, core work, rotational strength exercises, and traditional cable training—all in a single machine.

Finished with customizable powder coat and upholstery options, this machine blends seamlessly into any aesthetic while delivering industry-leading functionality. It's a centerpiece piece of equipment built for those who demand long-term durability and training flexibility without compromise.

There is currently a 16-18 weeks for any new Legend Fitness orders.

Logos in the form of decals, laser engravings, and embroidery can also be added to most pieces of Legend Fitness equipment.

Assembly & Maintenance Questions

1️⃣ How do I assemble this piece?

One of the main standout differences of Legend Fitness, is that they make equipment with as few moving parts as possible.

This means they use more welds and less bolts, wherever possible. This adds to the overall strength and rigidity of their equipment, while also decreasing the amount of assembly and maintenance each pieces requires.

This particular piece comes fully welded/assembled, and requires zero assembly. Once the equipment is delivered, it just needs to be positioned where you want it to go, and it's ready for use!

2️⃣ What are the maintenance requirements?

Legend Fitness produces the highest caliber of commercial grade strength equipment in the world, making it very easy to maintain. Typical maintenance includes:

  1. Cables & Pulleys: Cables and pulleys are wear items that require regular inspection. Check cables for cracks, kinks, or ballooning, especially near pulleys, and inspect cable end fittings. Damaged cables can lead to injury, so replace them immediately if wear is detected. Pulleys should also be checked for surface damage, cracks, or faulty bearings. Excessive noise or vibration indicates a bad pulley. If any issues are found, stop using the machine and replace the damaged parts.
  2. Frames: Inspect frames for cracks, corrosion, or rust. If any issues are found, remove the machine from service and contact a qualified fitness equipment technician.
  3. Upholstery: Upholstery, like cables, wears with use and should be inspected for tears, rips, and cracks. While worn upholstery doesn’t require taking a machine out of service, it should be replaced to prevent bacteria buildup or potential scratches to users.

To learn more about what it takes to maintain Legend Fitness equipment, check out the Legend Fitness Owner's Manual.

3️⃣ How do I keep my equipment clean?

The high quality materials and craftsmanship used to produce Legend Fitness strength makes cleaning the equipment very simple. This includes:

  1. Cables & Fasteners: Check and adjust cable tension as needed at the movement arm. Ensure all nuts, bolts, and fasteners are tight. If tightening is required, apply Loctite Threadlocker 242 for added security.
  2. Frames: Polish frames as needed with automotive or non-appliance wax to protect against corrosive fluids. Avoid harsh cleaners, chemicals, or abrasive materials.
  3. Upholstery: Clean upholstery with a standard vinyl upholstery cleaner or lanolin-based hand cleaner to maintain its flexibility and prevent cracking. To restore shine, spray lightly with furniture wax, wait 30 seconds, and wipe with a clean white cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and colored cloths that may transfer dye.
  4. Guide Rods & Weight Stacks: Clean guide rods weekly by wiping off dust and dirt with a soft, dry cloth, then applying a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid oil-based lubricants, except WD-40. Weight stacks should also be wiped down and inspected for chips, which can be touched up with matte black paint or a permanent marker. For light rust, use WD-40 on a clean cloth. If you notice cracks or damage to the weights, place an “Out of Order” sign on the machine and contact us for a replacement.
  5. Bearings: Linear bearing shafts must be regularly cleaned and lubricated for optimal performance. Check for rust and remove it with fine sandpaper or steel wool before cleaning. Wipe down the shafts with a clean, dry cloth to remove debris, then apply a thin layer of silicone-based spray lubricant or WD-40 using a cloth. Avoid over-applying, as excess lubricant can attract grime. Sealed bearing pivot points don't need lubrication but should be wiped with a dry cloth to remove dust. Ensure smooth movement during inspection.
