Want a station that stays set up for thrusts? Add the APE Hip Thrust Machine to your cart, or read the buyer questions below first.
Are hip thrust machines worth it? Yes if you thrust several times a week: a dedicated machine cuts the setup a barbell hip thrust needs, such as a bench, a bar and padding. If you thrust occasionally, a bench and a bar may be enough.
The bench route has its own setup rules, and our bench height guide for hip thrusts covers them.
Form, muscles worked and sample sessions on a machine sit in our guide to hip thrust benefits and workouts.
Choose this machine if you have room for the bigger frame, and the HTS if floor space is your limit. The APE HIP THRUST (HTS) is the smaller, lighter machine in the range.

Converted from the manufacturer's metric figures.
The supplier lists the three size figures without naming length, width or height, so read them as outer limits, not a floor plan.

Yes. The hip thrust loads the glutes through hip extension, so adding weight over time builds them like any resistance exercise. Results depend on your training, food and recovery.
Settle into the machine's start position with your feet set, then drive your hips up until your body forms a straight line. Squeeze at the top, keep your ribs down, and lower under control.
It can if you arch your lower back at the top. Finish with your ribs down and your hips, not your spine, doing the lift. If you feel pain, stop and ask a qualified clinician.
Adjustability varies by design. Foot position changes where you feel the movement, so a stance you can tune helps you find the setup that suits your build. Confirm what a machine adjusts before you buy.
A barbell or dumbbell hip thrust with your upper back on a bench, a glute bridge on the floor and a cable pull-through all train the hips. A machine mainly removes the setup.
A little. The glutes lead the movement and the hamstrings assist at the top, more so when your feet sit further from your hips.
