FAQ

The primary difference is the weight stack size. The GO-FT3 comes with a 300 lb. weight stack (150 lbs. effective resistance with both handles), while the GO-FT4 features a 400 lb. stack (200 lbs. effective resistance with both handles). The GO-FT4 is heavier overall at 643.4 lbs. versus 543.4 lbs. for the GO-FT3. If your facility serves serious strength athletes or competitive athletes who need heavier loads, the GO-FT4 is the better choice. For general fitness and mixed-use environments, the GO-FT3 handles the vast majority of training needs.

Variable pulley ratio means the machine can change the mechanical advantage of the cable system, effectively altering how the resistance feels relative to the weight on the stack. At a 1:2 ratio, users lift a higher percentage of the actual stack weight, which is ideal for traditional strength training. At a 1:4 ratio, resistance is lighter relative to the stack, making it better for fast, explosive, or athletic movements. This versatility means one machine can serve a wide range of training styles without needing multiple pieces of equipment.
