Selectorized multi-hip and glute machines train hip abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, and hip thrusts on a pin-loaded weight stack. They suit commercial gyms, studios, rehab clinics, and premium home setups that need fast weight changes, a guided movement path, and equipment built for continuous daily traffic.
This lineup covers eight strength brands, with single stations priced from $2,545 to $5,390. Every unit uses a pin and stack rather than loose plates, so a member changes resistance in about two seconds without leaving the seat.
These stations isolate the hip joint through patterns that squats and deadlifts leave undertrained.
The hip moves in four directions, and each one drives a different result:
What muscles does a multi-hip machine work? Mainly the gluteus maximus and medius, the hip flexors, and the adductor group, with the core working to hold your torso steady through each rep.
Six formats cover this category, and the right one depends on how many people need to train at once.
Is a multi-hip machine the same as a hip abduction machine? No. An abduction machine trains one pattern from a seated position. A multi-hip frame trains four patterns standing, so it replaces several stations but serves one member at a time.
| Machine type | Trains | Footprint | Listed price range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotary / multi-hip | All four hip patterns | 52" x 39" | $3,499–$3,870 |
| Dual inner/outer thigh | Abduction + adduction | Medium | $2,545–$5,390 |
| Single abductor or adductor | One pattern per frame | Compact | $2,600–$5,226 |
| Selectorized hip thrust | Glute-focused extension | 50" x 63" | $3,499 |
| Rear glute kick / trainer | Standing glute isolation | Medium | $3,349–$5,226 |
| Multi-station glute set | Full glute circuit | Large | $14,372 |

Compare the lineup above and shortlist the two or three formats that fit your floor plan.
Match stack weight to your strongest user, footprint to your floor plan, and adjustability to your widest range of body sizes. Get those three right and the machine earns its square footage for a decade.
Stack weight is the first filter. A 160 lb stack covers general fitness and clinical work. A 220 lb stack with a 340 lb upgrade path suits strength programming and heavy hip thrust loading.
Build quality is the second. Look for 10-gauge and 11-gauge steel tubing, sealed ball-bearing pulleys, and 2,000 lb-tested aircraft cable—the markers that separate a commercial frame from a light-duty one.
Fit is the third. Seven-position pads and adjustable thigh pads let a 5'2" member and a 6'4" member use the same station without compromise.
How much weight stack do you need for a glute machine? For mixed-ability facilities, 160 lb to 220 lb handles most users. Choose a stack with an upgrade path if you program heavy hip thrusts or train athletes.
Dual-function frames save money and floor space. Single-function frames move more people per hour.
A dual inner/outer thigh unit puts both patterns in one footprint and one purchase. Only one member trains at a time, though, and switching the frame mid-circuit creates a queue at peak hours. Two single-function stations cost more and take more floor, but two members work simultaneously with no changeover.
Boutique studios and private gyms usually win with duals. High-traffic clubs running timed circuits usually win with singles.

Plan the delivery before you plan the floor.
These are freight items, not parcel shipments. The BodyKore GR624 weighs 430 lb assembled and stands 65 inches tall on a 50" x 63" base. The TAG Elite Total Hip measures 52" L x 39" W x 60" H.
Measure doorways, elevators, and turning radius before you commit, then confirm whether your site has a loading dock or needs a liftgate delivery.
How much floor space does a hip machine need? Allow the machine footprint plus roughly two to three feet of clear space on the working side for entry, exit, and full range of motion.
Any facility where hip and glute training is programmed on purpose rather than left to the free-weight floor.
Commercial gyms and clubs use them to relieve pressure on racks at peak hours. Studios and boutique facilities add them because glute-focused programming fills classes. Sports teams use abduction and adduction work inside groin and hamstring conditioning blocks.
Physical therapy and rehab settings value the guided path, low step-over heights, and controlled loading. Any post-injury program should still be set and supervised by a licensed clinician—the equipment supports a plan, it does not replace one.
Private and premium home gym owners buy them for a simpler reason: a pin stack is faster, quieter, and cleaner than loading plates.
Are hip abduction machines worth it? For lateral hip strength and glute medius development, they deliver isolation that free weights rarely match. Treat them as a complement to compound lifting, not a replacement.
You get eight commercial brands in one place, honest availability, and a US team that understands how this equipment actually ships.
Hamilton Home Fitness is an authorized dealer for more than 40 fitness brands, headquartered in Tennessee and shipping to all 50 states. This category carries BodyKore, Body-Solid, TAG Fitness, Spirit Fitness, Hoist, Hudson Steel, The Abs Company, and HHF Commercial Fitness.
Three of those brands — Hoist, Hudson Steel, and The Abs Company — are handled by private invoice rather than standard checkout. Knowing that before you build a purchase order saves a round trip, and it is the kind of detail most dealers let you discover at the last step.
Select brands, including Body-Solid ship free. Every order runs through secure checkout with a published shipping and returns policy behind it.
Outfitting a full floor? Book a gym design consultation and have the hip and glute station planned into the layout from the start. Need leg curls and extensions to complete the lower body? Those sit in the selectorized leg machines category. Prefer plates over pins? Compare the plate-loaded hip and glute machines, or browse the full glute and hamstring lineup.
What is a selectorized machine?
A selectorized machine uses a fixed weight stack with a selector pin, so you change resistance by moving one pin instead of loading plates. It is faster between sets and safer in shared spaces, which is why commercial circuits are built around it.
Are these machines good for beginners?
Yes. The guided movement path holds your position for you, which lowers the technique barrier compared with barbell hip work. Start light, control the return, and add weight once the pattern feels stable.
Can I put one in a home gym?
If you have the ceiling height, floor space, and a delivery path for a 400 lb-plus freight item, yes. Measure the room and the route in first. Many private gym owners choose a dual-function frame here to cover two patterns in one footprint.
Do you ship these nationwide?
Yes. Hamilton Home Fitness ships to all 50 states from a US-based team. These units move by freight, so delivery is scheduled rather than same-week — confirm your site's dock or liftgate needs when you order.
How long do these machines last?
Commercial-grade frames using 10–11 gauge steel, sealed-bearing pulleys, and high-tensile cable are built for years of continuous daily use. Cables, pads, and grips are the wear items; keeping them on a replacement schedule extends the frame's working life considerably.
Do you offer free shipping?
Free shipping applies to select brands, including Body-Solid. Shipping on other brands is quoted by weight and destination, and the full terms are set out in the shipping and returns policy.
Can I get help planning a layout?
Yes. The gym design service maps equipment against your actual square footage, traffic flow, and programming, so your hip and glute stations land where members can reach them without crossing a busy free-weight zone.
Build the lower-body floor properly the first time. Compare the selectorized multi hip and glute machines above, match the stack and footprint to your space, and order today — backed by authorized-dealer pricing, nationwide US shipping, secure checkout, and a team that knows how this equipment installs.
