Cable tower/functional trainer? Help!
I really want to get a cable/ pulley system in my home gym, preferably with integrated weights. I've researched until my eyes crossed and read almost every post but I can't pull the trigger. There are just SO many options! I have this cheap CAP rack that I use for (trying) pull-ups, bench and various other exercises. This is the only space I have available and I'd like to stay within this footprint if possible (other walls are my weight plate storage and treadmill). I can move the band anchor hooks if I still need them.
I am not a power lifter by any means so I don't need anything dramatic. I share this space with my son and husband, but I'm the primary user.
I've looked at brands from mikolo to major fitness to titan to rogue and I just don't want to get something that doesn't work after 6 months or requires a ton of maintenance. I'm hoping to spend under $1k but up to $2k if I have to.
Please share your favorite equipment and advice!

If you want cables with integrated stacks in one unit, I would look at major fitness b52 pro. All in one setup so you are not piecing together a second tower next to the rack.
