Hoist Fitness Mi5 Functional Trainer

Small Footprint. Serious Range.

Limited floor space should not limit the way you train.

Many compact cable machines save space by reducing adjustability. The pulley only moves vertically, the arm stays fixed, and exercise variety disappears as soon as you move beyond basic rows and presses. The Hoist Fitness Mi5 takes a different approach. As HOIST's most compact functional trainer, it delivers two independently adjustable cable arms and more than 1,000 possible cable configurations inside a space-conscious single-column design.

Each arm moves through 22 vertical positions at 2-inch increments plus seven horizontal angle settings covering 160 degrees. That means a single functional trainer for home use can support chest presses, flys, rows, curls, extensions, chops, raises, lunges, rotational exercises, and sport-specific movements without forcing you into one fixed cable path.

A counterbalanced carriage makes vertical adjustments easier, so changing from a low pull to a high press takes seconds. For households where multiple people train differently, that flexibility is what makes the Mi5 feel much larger than its footprint suggests.

Four Times the Cable Travel

The 4:1 cable ratio gives dynamic movements room to actually move.

Compact budget towers often use short cable runs that work fine for small isolation exercises but become restrictive during walking lunges, rotational patterns, athletic drills, and long-range unilateral movements. The Mi5 uses HOIST Split Weight Cabling with a 4:1 ratio, extending cable travel to as much as 160 inches when used with strap handles.

Resistance comes from an enclosed 200 lb Silent Steel weight stack. Each plate uses pressed-in industrial bushings and precision machining to reduce metal-on-metal contact and help produce the smooth, quiet movement expected from premium HOIST strength equipment. A built-in weight lock also disengages the stack for suspension-style exercises, adding another training mode without requiring another station.

• 1,000+ configurations: three-point cable adjustment expands exercise variety
• 22 vertical positions: adjust each arm in precise 2-inch increments
• Seven arm angles: independent adjustment through 160 degrees
• 4:1 cabling: delivers up to 160 inches of extended cable travel
• Built-in organization: tablet holder, bottle holder, and accessory storage

Versatility Without the Bulk

One compact cable station can become the center of an entire strength program.

The Mi5 works equally well for controlled beginner strength exercises and more advanced unilateral, rotational, and multi-planar training. Unlike inexpensive single-column cable towers with one fixed pulling angle, its independently adjustable arms let resistance originate from above, below, beside, or across the body. That opens up training options for nearly every major muscle group while making the machine useful for strength, mobility, core work, and athletic conditioning.

An optional Mi5 accessory kit adds a core stabilizer pad, dual-attachment aluminum long bar, curl bar, long strap, padded ankle/thigh strap, and carabiner adaptors for even more exercise options. Compare the Mi5 with the Mi6, Mi7, and other Hoist functional trainers to find the right combination of footprint, cable range, and resistance for your gym.
