If you searched for a hip adductor machine, the Hoist RS-2407 Outer Thigh is its opposite number. This selectorized ROC-IT station trains hip abduction—the outer hip and glute muscles that push the legs apart—rather than the inner-thigh adductors. It suits commercial floors, studios, and clinics.
This machine moves your legs outward against resistance. Adduction pulls them back toward the midline, and that is a different station entirely.
The distinction matters because the two words sit one letter apart and the two machines look almost identical from across a gym floor. Buyers regularly order one and mean the other. If your programming calls for the inward squeeze, the Inner Thigh RS-2406 is the station you want, and it carries the same frame class and the same ordering route as this one.
What muscles does the outer thigh machine work? Hip abduction recruits the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and tensor fasciae latae — the outer hip group that stabilises the pelvis when you walk, run or change direction. Strong abductors also steady the knee during single-leg work.
Hoist's published feature notes describe a forward starting position that seats the hips for the movement while keeping the spine aligned, then a rearward rocking motion the manufacturer states reduces stress on the low back. Both are Hoist's own engineering claims rather than independently measured results. If you are building a full lower-body bay, the wider set of commercial leg machines shows where a hip station sits alongside presses and curls.
Not in the way the category claims. Hoist's own HD Dual Series is positioned for facilities where space or budget is tight, but the numbers do not support the space half of that pitch.
The Inner/Outer Thigh HD-3800 measures 69.50 in long by 61.75 in wide. That is an inch longer and nearly three inches wider than this dedicated abduction frame, and it carries a 180 lb standard stack — ten pounds under what the RS-2407 gives you.
So a dual station does not shrink the footprint of a single hip position. It removes the need for a second station, and it charges you stack weight and a pad reset to do it. Every listing in this category sells the combo as the compact answer, and none of them publishes the two footprints side by side.
That is the real trade: you are buying one less machine, not less floor. Facilities laying out a full circuit can work this through with the gym design service before committing to a layout.
✅ Set your working range before rep one.
✅ Rearward rock eases low-back loading.
✅ Forward start seats the hips correctly.
✅ Seat moves with you through every rep
✅ Guided path takes balance out of the set
✅ No plates to carry or rack
✅ Upgrade kit lifts the top of the range
✅ Three frame finishes for room matching

✅ Isolates one hip pattern cleanly
Pick between them on how many movements you need from one floor position, not on price alone—the gap between the two is small.
Choose the RS-2407 if hip abduction is a programmed lift rather than an occasional finisher. A dedicated frame stays configured, which matters most where users cycle through quickly. Browse the full range of selectorized leg machines if you are still weighing dedicated stations against combination units, then add the RS-2407 to your cart when the movement list is settled.
Every published figure below comes from Hoist's specification for this model. Pair it with a Leg Extension RS-2401, and the two frames share the same 55.00 in profile height across a bay.
Buy it if hip abduction is a fixed part of your programming and the station will see repeat traffic.
A good fit for:
Look elsewhere if:
Will it fit users of different heights? Hoist states the range-of-motion adjustment accommodates the starting position and describes a fit that suits a wide range of body sizes. The specification does not publish a numbered adjustment range, so exact settings are not something we can quote. Buyers wanting a swivel-pad alternative with published range settings can look at the BodyKore GR632 hip adductor/abductor.
The RS-2407 is ordered through private invoice, which is how the full Hoist Fitness range is handled here, and it ships nationwide to all fifty states from Tennessee.
Hoist's published warranty schedule places the RS line in its commercial and light-commercial tiers: 10 years on the body and frame, 5 years on structural moving parts, 3 years on bearings, bushings, and pulleys, and 1 year on finish, cables, upholstery, and accessories. Coverage runs to the original purchaser only, applies to manufacturer defects in workmanship and materials under normal use, and is not transferable. Hoist reserves the right to change product specifications, design, and function.
Can I return it if the room does not work out? Returns run 30 days on undamaged equipment in its original packaging, with a restocking fee and return shipping paid by the buyer. Equipment used beyond testing is not eligible, and custom imported configurations are final sale — so choosing a custom upholstery color closes that window. Hamilton Home Fitness can confirm the current terms before you commit.
Which should I buy first, inner or outer thigh?
Buy the abduction station first if your users are athletes, older adults, or rehab clients, because pelvic stability carries into walking, running, and single-leg loading. Adduction is the higher priority where groin strain history or heavy squatting dominates the programming.
Does Hoist publish a user weight limit?
No. Hoist does not publish a maximum user weight for this frame in the product listing or the specification sheet. Facilities with a stated equipment policy should confirm directly with the manufacturer rather than assume a figure.
What separates the RS line from the HD Dual line?
RS is Hoist's ROC-IT Selectorized line, where each station covers a single movement and the seat travels with the rep. HD Dual stations combine two exercises on one frame with swivelling pads and a shared stack.
Will this machine slim my outer thighs?
No exercise reduces fat from a specific area, and hip abduction work is no exception. It builds strength and size in the outer hip muscles, which change shape over time, while overall body composition responds to total training and nutrition.
Is the RS-2407 practical in a home gym?
Only in a well-resourced one. The frame weight, the width, and the private-invoice ordering route all point at commercial installation rather than a spare bedroom, though it works well in a purpose-built home facility.
Does the optional upgrade change the frame size?
No. The RS-CAGE-NG-OPT1 kit adds a small amount of frame weight and raises the top of the stack. The footprint and height are unchanged, so a room that fits the standard build fits the upgraded one.
