Machine that isolates the glutes by extending one leg backward against a padded resistance arm while keeping the hips stable.

The glute kickback machine isolates the gluteus maximus through machine-guided hip extension, building targeted glute strength for HYROX running and sled work.

Definition and limits

A glute kickback machine loads hip extension while the machine constrains part of the movement. Gluteus maximus and other hip extensors contribute, while the trunk and stance leg provide support. Machine geometry, hip and knee position, range and load alter the task; the machine does not completely isolate one muscle.
