help with advice on home exercise equipment

I am assembling a budget block system for a home gym using simple components (rollers, steel cables, spacer anchors). I want to simplify the design as much as possible and save money.

​My plan is to fix the blocks directly to the concrete walls using standard spacer anchors. But I doubt if it's safe enough for a crossover.

​Is it acceptable to attach the blocks directly to the wall with conventional anchors, or will the dynamic load eventually tear them out of the concrete?

​Is it really necessary to install steel profiles (for example, a square pipe) to distribute the load, or is it an overkill for a simple home system?

I will be glad to hear the advice of those who have already fixed such systems directly to the wall. Have you ever come across anchors loosening over time? I would be grateful for advice on choosing the optimal type of anchors for this task.
