Plate Loaded Hip Glute Thrust Machine | Reload Pro X Series

Plate Loaded Hip Glute Thrust Machine | Reload Pro X Series

300kg Load Capacity | 4-Position Adjustable Footplate | Olympic Plate Loaded

Currently In Stock | Ships Now From Our Sydney Warehouse

The hip thrust is the single most effective glute-building movement in strength training - and this machine removes everything that makes the barbell version awkward. No dragging a bench into position, no loaded bar digging into your hips, no wrestling plates at floor level. Sit in, set the footplate, load your Olympic plates and thrust.

The Reload Pro X Series Hip Glute Thrust Machine mimics the barbell hip thrust motion with proper spine support and hip alignment built in: an oversized cushioned roller distributes the load evenly across your hips, an angled back pad keeps your torso supported through the full range, and a 4-position adjustable footplate (7 / 12 / 18 / 25 degrees) lets every user find their strongest pressing angle. With a 300kg load capacity and smooth pivot arms, it's built for serious progressive overload.

The upgraded version now ships with a steel plate mat on the footplate for additional grip and longevity under heavy daily use.

Why a Hip Thrust Machine Instead of a Barbell?

The barbell hip thrust works - but it's the most awkward setup in the gym: a bench that slides, a bar that bruises your hips even with a pad, and a fiddly load/unload at floor height. This machine fixes all of it. You get the same hip-extension movement pattern with the load applied through a padded roller instead of a steel bar, a locked-in back support instead of a moving bench, and safety handles for controlled lift-off at heavy weights. The result: heavier loading, better comfort, and more quality sets per session - which is exactly what glute growth responds to.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What muscles does it target?
A: Primarily the glutes, with strong secondary activation in the hamstrings and hip stabilisers - the full posterior chain.

Q: Can I use Olympic plates?
A: Yes - the loading arms are fully Olympic plate compatible, with built-in plate storage on the machine. Need plates? See our Olympic weight plates range.

Q: How does it compare to barbell hip thrusts?
A: Same movement pattern, far better execution - padded roller instead of a bar across your hips, fixed back support instead of a bench, and a faster, safer setup between sets. Most lifters can load heavier on the machine sooner.

Q: What do the footplate angles do?
A: The 7 / 12 / 18 / 25 degree settings change your foot position relative to your hips - lower angles suit taller users and more hamstring emphasis, steeper angles shorten the setup for smaller users and bias the glutes. Adjustment takes seconds.

Q: Do I need a spotter?
A: No - the design is self-supported, with safety handles for controlled entry and exit under load.

Q: Can I order it in a custom colour?
A: Yes - the matte black unit is in stock now, and custom frame and upholstery colours are available made to order (8-12 week lead time). See the colour chart below.
