Cable machines and pulley machines mark the difference between a good home gym and a great one.

Yet, finding the right home gym machines isn’t easy. In this article, we show you the 10 best cable machines<\/strong> currently on the market.<\/p>\n

A Quick Glance at the Top Cable and Pulley Machines<\/span><\/h2>\n

We loved the Powerline PCC090X Cable Crossover<\/a> machine, which is our favorite cable machine. It packs 8 high resin pulleys into a commercial grade machine that you can have at a garage gym price<\/strong>. We were also very impressed with the Valor Fitness BD-62 Wall Mount Cable Gym<\/a>, with its solid dual cabling system and 17 settings.<\/p>\n

Our third favorite cable machine is the XMark Functional Trainer Cable Machine<\/a>, which provides dual weight stacks on smooth tracks for a very natural training experience.<\/p>\n
