BodyKore Stacked Series Hip Thrust/Glute Builder Plate Loaded FL1844

BodyKore FL1844 Hip Thrust Machine for Sale

The BodyKore Stacked Series Hip Thrust/Glute Builder Plate Loaded FL1844 is a hip thrust machine for sale that replaces the bench-and-barbell routine with a guided, self-contained station. It suits gyms, team weight rooms, and serious home gyms that want heavy, repeatable glute training without rebuilding a bar setup before every set.

Start with the facts most buyers check first on the BodyKore FL1844:

How This Hip Thrust Machine Works

The FL1844 turns the hip thrust into a guided lift. You settle against the back pad and fasten the belt that holds you to it. Then you plant your feet on the platform and drive your hips up through a hip bridge while the machine carries the plates.

Despite the Stacked Series name, the FL1844 has no built-in weight stack. It is plate loaded, so you slide weight plates onto the machine by hand instead of moving a selector pin. You'll find it alongside our other plate-loaded glute stations.

BodyKore says the FL1844 safely isolates the glutes, builds power through a strong hip bridge motion, and improves hip and core stability. The brand also credits the back pad with added safety and says the machine delivers the full benefit of the hip thrust without compromising form. According to BodyKore, the redesign drew on feedback from top-tier athletes, including its NFL clients. Browse the full BodyKore strength lineup to match the rest of your floor.

Is a hip thrust machine better than a barbell hip thrust?
Neither wins every time. A machine removes bar setup and balance demands, so heavy sets start faster. Barbell hip thrusts cost less if you already own a bar and bench, and they make your trunk work harder to stay steady.

Plate Ceiling vs. Frame Rating

Two load numbers matter on this hip thrust machine, and they measure different things. The BodyKore FL1844 takes up to four plates on each side, for a max weight load of 360 lbs. Separately, BodyKore rates the machine to hold over 1000 lbs.

Your training limit is the plate ceiling, meaning the most iron the machine accepts. The rating describes what the machine is built to hold. Treat it as neither a loading target nor a user weight limit.

Bands are BodyKore's answer for lifters who outgrow the plates. Add them on the pegs, and they layer extra resistance on top of a fully loaded machine, so progress continues past the last plate.

Choose the FL1844 if your heaviest planned sets fit on the plates, or if you are ready to add bands for the top end.

If those numbers suit your lifters, put the FL1844 in your cart and start loading.

Assembly, Setup, and Upkeep

The FL1844 arrives in boxes and is built where it will live, so gather your tools and choose its spot before it ships.

1. Pick a solid, level floor
2. Gather metric and standard socket, open-end, and hex sets
3. Add a box cutter, rubber mallet, and assorted pliers
4. Follow the six-step assembly guide in order
5. Leave fasteners loose until the guide says tighten
6. Line up a helper before you ever move it

Does the FL1844 need to be bolted to the floor?
No. BodyKore designs it to stand freely, though you can bolt it down for extra stability. Ask a qualified general contractor to choose the fastening method for your floor.

For daily care, wipe the pads with a mild soap and water solution, dry them, and check the upholstery for cracks or loose staples. Skip cleaners that contain solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum. Once a month, inspect the frame for cracks at the joints and confirm every fastener is secure. If you find a crack, keep the machine out of service until a qualified technician repairs it.

If the FL1844 ever needs to change rooms or buildings, our equipment moving crew handles the disassembly, transport, and reassembly.

Who Should Buy the FL1844

The FL1844 rewards buyers who treat the hip thrust as a main lift, not an accessory. Use the two checks below to test your setup.

A Strong Fit If

It fits best when these describe your gym:

• Hip thrusts are a staple of your program
• Athletes need a glute lift; they can load hard
• Your floor can dedicate space to one lift

Skip It If

Look at other options when any of these apply:

• You want pin-select weight changes
• You have no plates and no budget for them
• Your training space is outdoors or damp

Whatever your setup, the FL1844 needs at least 40 inches of open floor on every side, clear of walls, furniture, and other objects.

If the FL1844 is not your match, our full range of glute and hamstring machines runs from GHDs to hyperextension benches and selectorized glute trainers.

FL1844 vs. Other BodyKore Glute Stations

Two of the other BodyKore glute stations on this site solve different problems than the FL1844.

Pick the FL1844 for dedicated hip thrusts, the CF8131 when one frame must also do leg presses, and the G216 when budget leads.

The BodyKore CF8131 Glute Press page lists its hydraulic bench angle adjustment and full dimensions if a two-pattern station appeals.

On a crowded glute day, the G216 Bridge Bench also works as a single-leg finisher beside the FL1844.

Hip Thrust Machine FAQs

What muscles does a hip thrust machine work on?
Mainly the gluteus maximus, the muscle that drives hip extension. The hamstrings and core assist by steadying the pelvis as you lock out.

Can beginners use the FL1844?
Yes. Because the belt and back pad set your position, a newer lifter only has to learn the hip drive. Start with light plates and add load only while the lockout stays controlled.

Will a hip thrust machine fix lower back pain?
No machine is a treatment for back pain. If you have pain or a recent injury, get clearance from a doctor or physical therapist before loading hip thrusts, and let them guide your starting point.

What weight plates fit the FL1844?
Confirm plate fit with our team before you order. Tell us which plates you own, and we will check them against the FL1844's loading bar. Once fit is confirmed, you can add plates from our bumper plates range in the same order.

What warranty comes with the FL1844?
BodyKore sets the warranty, and terms vary by model, so ask our team for the FL1844's exact coverage before ordering. Because we sell BodyKore as an authorized dealer, that manufacturer coverage stays intact.

What is the return policy on the FL1844?
You can return it within 30 days if it is undamaged, unused beyond testing, and back in its original packaging. A 25% restocking fee applies, and you pay return shipping, so settle space and plate fit first. Full terms live on our shipping and returns page.
