BodyKore CF8131 Glute Press

Leg Press for Glutes: BodyKore CF8131 Glute Press

Strength training is the demand center. U.S. health club membership reached 77 million in 2024, and operators are reallocating space toward strength zones to match how people train now.  As wearables and AI-driven personalization reshape training plans, buyers want machines that deliver repeatable form.

The BodyKore CF8131 Glute Press is built for that shift. If you want a leg press for glutes that also loads a real hip-thrust pattern—without bars, pads, and messy setups—this patented 2-in-1 station turns lower-body training into a repeatable system.

Why glute-first training wins

Strong glutes support hip and knee control in everyday movement and sport, which is why they are central in performance and rehab thinking.  Research also suggests the leg press can be a time-efficient way to target the gluteus maximus alongside key quad muscles.

Technique matters. EMG literature reviews report higher gluteus maximus activity when feet are placed higher on the footplate compared with low placement—so a stable sled path and an adjustable footpad are not “extras.”

What makes this leg press for glutes different

BodyKore designed the CF8131 to merge a leg press sled with a glute thrust movement. You transition between pressing and thrusting using a switchable bench and a secure seat belt for hip engagement.

That matters in the real world. Strength is the dominant trend, and younger demographics and women are fueling record participation in strength-based training. A dual-function glute station helps you serve that demand with less floor space and less waiting.

How to target glutes on this machine

Quick setup cues

For the leg press: set feet high, push through mid-foot to heel, and keep knees in line with toes. The CF8131 footpad has two angles, so you can choose the feel that keeps tension on the hips and glutes.

For the hip thrust, the backrest lies down and the seat pad hinges up so you can load the hips fast. The belt helps keep your position stable as you drive the hips up under control.

Built for Tennessee buyers and shipped nationwide

Whether you run a home gym, a studio, a school weight room, or a corporate wellness space, fit and durability decide the purchase. The CF8131 lists dimensions of 80" x 46" x 44" and a listed weight of 355 lb.

Usability is engineered in: hydraulic bench angle adjustment, rollers on guide rods for smooth travel, water-resistant upholstery, rolled steel oval tubing, and stainless fasteners for long-term upkeep.

Which of these leg press for glutes fits best

For home athletes, it replaces two stations with one and keeps training simple when motivation is low. For commercial gyms and studios, it creates a commercial-grade “lower-body anchor” that is easy to coach and fast to reset between users. For trainers, teams, and rehab-focused spaces, the guided path and stable setup make it easier to scale load and range while keeping the focus on clean movement.

If you shop luxury, you get the feel of a purpose-built glute machine with published materials and warranty coverage. If you shop on a budget, the 2-in-1 design is the ROI play: fewer machines to buy, fewer parts to maintain, and more outcomes per square foot.

People also ask about leg press for glutes

Is the leg press good for glutes?

Yes. With a high-foot setup and full control, the leg press can strongly recruit the gluteus maximus and is a time-efficient lower-body builder.

What foot placement targets glutes the most?

Higher foot placement tends to increase gluteus maximus activity versus low placement. Think “high, wide, heels heavy,” while staying stable through the torso.

Is this better than free-weight hip thrusts?

If you need speed, safety, and repeatability across many users, it can be. The CF8131 converts into a thrust position with a hinged pad and belt, cutting setup friction.

Can this support rehab or older adults?

It can help because the path is guided and easy to scale. For rehab, loading and range should be set by a qualified clinician.
