Commercial Leg Press Machine

These dual-threat leg press machines (leg press and hack squat) are terrific additions to your home gym. Get the best of a leg press and squat machines with the footprint and price of just one unit.

This machine is more horizontal than diagonal, including a chair that’s at regular height and a weight stack for you to adjust the load. You don’t need any plates for this machine, and it’s relatively safer than it’s plate-centric cousin.

These machines can mimic a full-blown weighted squat while keeping your back and neck completely safe. Instead of crushing your spine with a loaded barbell, you can stack plates on the top of this setup, get underneath the machine, and squat straight up into the air. Make sure you’re limber; that way, you can do this exercise safely, without worrying about getting stuck at the bottom of a rep.
