The Hoist CL-3408 is a selectorized leg curl machine from the Club Line that trains hamstrings in two positions on one frame: standing upright or lying face-down, with the option of one leg or both. It suits gyms, studios, and home rooms wanting one hamstring station.
Search "leg curl machine for sale," and almost everything that comes back is a seated frame that also does leg extensions. The CL-3408 is not that machine. It is a dedicated hamstring station with a pin-loaded stack, and its second setting is another way to curl rather than a different exercise for a different muscle.
Standing, you plant one foot, brace against the torso pad, grip the handles, and curl the other leg. Lying face-down, the balance requirement disappears, and you can work one leg or both. The self-adjusting roller pad finds the ankle on its own in either position, and stabilizing grips are fitted for both. It belongs to the Club Line, the space-conscious half of the Hoist Fitness range, which is why the frame stays low rather than towering over the floor.
Why would a gym buy a standing leg curl? Because standing is the only common curl position that forces one leg to work alone, which is how coaches expose and chase a side-to-side difference. Most facilities never buy one because a dedicated standing frame is hard to justify on its own floor space.
Every other two-in-one leg machine on the market pairs a curl with an extension. This one pairs a curl with a curl, and that changes what you are actually buying.
A curl-and-extension combo buys you coverage of two muscle groups from one footprint. The CL-3408 buys you access instead. A member who cannot comfortably get down onto a prone pad still trains hamstrings standing up. An athlete chasing a weak side gets single-leg work without a second purchase. A general floor gets the lying position everyone already recognizes. One frame, three different users, no queue at a changeover pin because there is no second exercise to change to.
Choose the CL-3408 when one hamstring station has to serve standing single-leg work and lying two-leg work. Choose a curl-and-extension combo when one frame has to cover two muscle groups.
Is a standing leg curl better than a lying leg curl? Neither is better. Both load knee flexion with the hip extended, so the practical difference is balance, single-leg access, and whether the user wants to lie down. Pair either with a quad station such as the Club Line Leg Extension CL-3401 if the room needs both patterns, or browse the wider range of selectorized leg machines before deciding.

Hoist builds three ways to curl, and price does not track versatility here. The two Roc-It stations each do one position and cost more.
The RS-2408 prone leg curl is the specialist face-down frame. The seated RS-2402 is the only one of the three that curls with the hip flexed, which the CL-3408 does not offer at all.
Ask our team to price the CL-3408 against whichever frame you are weighing it against.

Three gaps are worth stating plainly. Hoist publishes no maximum user weight for this frame, no crate dimensions, and no position count for the torso pad or the arm adjuster, so confirm all three with us rather than assuming. If quads and hamstrings must share one purchase, the HD-3400 leg extension and curl covers both patterns instead.
For a lighter, lower-cost hamstring station, the Body-Solid S2SLC Leg Curl sits well below this tier, with a smaller stack and a seated position only.
Hoist runs through Hamilton Home Fitness as a private-invoice line, so your order is quoted directly rather than checked out at a shelf price. We ship to all fifty states from our Tennessee headquarters and confirm freight and lead time with you before anything moves.
Plan the install before the crate arrives. The hoist requires this unit to be bolted to the exercise floor using a minimum of 4 1/2 inch bolts to prevent tipping, and the manual calls for two people, a standard hand-tool kit, and a squareness check once the frame is together. That anchoring requirement rules out floating floors and most rental situations, so settle the placement question first.
Read our freight, packaging, and return terms before ordering, since a frame this heavy is not something you return casually. Facilities building a full floor can plan the floor with our design team before committing to a layout.
Can one person switch it between standing and prone?
Hoist fits an adjustable torso pad with its own warning decal and publishes no tool requirement for the change. It does not publish a step count or position number, so ask us to confirm the exact procedure for your users.
Is a heavier weight stack available for this model?
No. Hoist publishes one stack build for the CL-3408. Within the Club Line, the heavy-stack option appears on the leg press rather than on any of the leg curl frames.
What is the maximum user weight for the CL-3408?
Hoist does not publish a user weight limit for this frame in its specification sheet, owner's manual, or brochure. We will not invent one, so contact the manufacturer through us if that number governs your purchase.
Can two people use the CL-3408 at the same time?
No. The frame runs a single exercise arm on a single cable, so it serves one user at a time regardless of which position they choose.
Is the CL-3408 the same as Hoist's CL-3402 Leg Curl?
No. The CL-3402 is a separate dedicated leg curl in the same line with a larger stack. The CL-3408 is the standing-and-prone frame. Ask our team which models are currently stocked.
What does assembly involve?
Two people, a ratchet wrench with 1/2, 9/16, and 3/4 inch sockets, an adjustable wrench, a rubber mallet, a tape measure, a level, and SAE hex keys. Hoist publishes recommended torque ranges for every fastener in the manual.
Send us your room measurements and access route, and we will come back with freight, lead time, and a firm quote on the CL-3408. You get an authorized hoist dealer, a published commercial warranty schedule, and a team in Tennessee who answers the phone after the machine lands.
