Excel Kneeling Glute / Hip Extension
The Excel Kneeling Glute / Hip Extension is built to deliver focused glute training with smooth performance, strong support, and commercial-grade durability. Designed to isolate the glutes while minimizing lower back strain, this machine is an excellent addition to any commercial gym, training studio, or performance facility.
Constructed with 11-gauge steel, the frame is made for demanding commercial use. Double-stitched commercial upholstery provides long-lasting comfort and durability, while commercial industrial bearings create a smooth, controlled motion through every rep. A gas piston-assisted knee pad adjustment allows quick setup, while the pivoting roller back pad helps users find the right position for proper alignment and comfort.
This machine is designed to help users train hip extension more effectively with less unwanted stress on the spine. The kneeling position shifts the workload more directly into the gluteus maximus, reducing compensation from the quads and lower back. A lever-assisted range of motion setting and quick pop-pin foot roller adjustment make it easy to customize the fit, while the non-slip grip handle adds stability throughout the movement. It is also band compatible, giving users another way to increase resistance and vary their training.
One of the biggest advantages of the Excel Kneeling Glute / Hip Extension is its ability to create a strong peak contraction at the top of the movement, where the glutes are fully shortened. It also supports unilateral training, helping users identify imbalances, improve hip stability, and build a stronger mind-muscle connection on each side.
