Glute machines
for gyms.

A glute circuit covers the main hip movements, one station each, so members can move from machine to machine:

• Hip thrust: Apex Pivot Hip Thrust, Apex Standing Hip Thrust, Plate-Loaded Standing Hip Thrust and Pro Plus 2.0 Hip Glute Drive, plus hip thrust pads for barbell work
• Kickback: Apex Sweeping Glute Kick Back, Apex Cable Glute Kick Back, Pro Plus Rear Kick and the Pro Plus Booty Blaster
• Abduction and adduction: abductor/adductor machines in the Apex, Trinity and Power series, the Pro Plus 2.0 plate-loaded abductor/adductor and a standing abductor
• Squat and hinge: the Pro Plus Pendulum Squat, Plate-Loaded Belt Squat, Bulgarian squat bench and the Apex Back/Hip Extension

Pin-loaded glute machines set the load with a pin, which keeps a busy circuit moving and suits members new to strength training. Plate-loaded machines take heavy loads for progression. Many gyms use pin-loaded machines for the circuit and add one or two plate-loaded stations for heavy hip thrusts and squats.
