ANKER 3 vs. ANKER 7: Which Wall-Mounted Cable Machine Is Best for Your Home Gym?

When designing your home gym, you want equipment that’s compact, versatile, and built to last. Torque’s ANKER series delivers just that—wall-mounted cable machines designed for serious strength and functional training in any space.

But which model is right for your setup? If you’re torn between the ANKER 3 and the ANKER 7, we’re breaking down everything you need to know to choose the best home gym cable trainer for your goals.

ANKER 3: Minimal Footprint, Maximum Versatility

If you’re working with limited square footage, the ANKER 3 is a home gym essential. This ultra-slim, wall-mounted cable machine is just 2.7" deep, making it the perfect fit for garage gyms, basements, or spare rooms where every inch matters.

·      Compact design: Flush wall-mount with minimal disruption

·      Weight options: 150, 200, or 225 lb weight stack (upgradeable to 300 lbs)

·      Pulley system: 1:2 weight ratio (single pulley), 1:1 with dual pulley use

·      Four fixed attachment points for consistent and targeted training

·      Included accessories: Two short strap handles, two long strap handles, one leg boot

·      Optional add-ons: Pull-up bar (ANKER-PUA-102), phone holder, adder pins

Whether you're strength training, building mobility, or hitting high-rep circuits, the ANKER 3 adapts to your needs without dominating your space.

ANKER 7: Elevated Cable Training With More Features

For home gym owners who want more cable travel, wider reach, and added accessory integration, the ANKER 7 offers everything the ANKER 3 does—and more. While also wall-mounted, the ANKER 7 delivers a more robust training experience with enhanced specs:

·      Wider stance: Only 9" wall clearance, with a 43.5" (3.6 ft) space between pulleys

·      Extended range: 103" (8.5 ft) of cable travel per handle

·      Weight options: 150, 200, or 225 lb stacks

·      Dual swivel pulleys for fluid, full-body functional training

·      Stainless-steel uprights with laser-engraved numbering for precision

·      Included accessories: Two short and two long strap handles, leg boot, battle rope anchor strap, storage hooks

·      Additional training points: Top resistance band anchor + bottom frame battle rope anchor

·      Optional upgrades: Pull-up bar (ANKER-PUA-102), phone holder, adder pins

In short: if you're looking for a high-end, wall-mounted cable trainer with added movement capability and accessory support, the ANKER 7 gives you more to work with—without taking up much more space.

Which One Is Right for Your Home Gym?

Choose the ANKER 3 if you want a compact, fixed-pulley wall-mounted trainer that delivers serious performance in small spaces.

Choose the ANKER 7 if you need a wider cable range, dual swivels, and enhanced versatility while still keeping your training system low-profile and wall-mounted.

Both machines feature commercial-grade durability, smooth cable motion, and flexible configurations to fit your training style—whether that’s strength training, mobility work, or full-body conditioning.
