The abs Company The Froggy™

The Abs Company Froggy is a plate-loaded glute machine built for the face-down frog pump. It gives that movement a dedicated station, so lifters stop improvising with a bench and a barbell. It fits home gyms and commercial floors where glute work is a regular part of training.

The decision facts most buyers check first:

How Does the Froggy Load a Frog Pump?

It moves the load along a guided arc, and the adjustable foot bar holds it securely at every resistance level. You lie on the padded bench, press your feet into the foot bar with your knees bent and flared, and drive it up through your hips.

The machine sets the path of the load, so your balance no longer has to. The Abs Company says it created The Froggy for lifters attempting prone (face-down) frog lifts on a Smith machine. It calls that setup unstable, unsafe, and reliant on a partner to rack the bar.

Do you need a machine for frog pumps? Not for bodyweight sets. A machine earns its place once you want to load the pattern well past your body weight.

Is This the Frog Pump You Know?

Possibly not. The floor frog pump most people learn is done on your back, soles together, pushing the hips toward the ceiling. Both versions work the glutes with the knees apart, but they feel different.

What are froggy glute lifts? They are the bodyweight floor version of the Froggy’s movement, done lying on your stomach. They also make the cheapest test of the position before you order. Try a few slow reps:

1. Lie face down on the floor
2. Bend your knees, heels together, knees out
3. Squeeze your glutes to lift your knees

If the squeeze lands in your glutes and nothing pinches, the machine’s position suits you. If your hips or lower back object, a hip thrust station is the better buy, because adding load won’t fix a position your hips dislike.

Who Is The Froggy Built For?

The Froggy is a specialist station for one glute pattern, so fit matters more than features.

A strong fit for:

• Lifters who already enjoy frog pumps
• Beginners and advanced lifters alike
• Trainers running glute blocks for clients
• Coaches in sports performance settings
• Gyms adding a signature glute station

Think twice if:

• You only want the face-up floor version
• You exceed the user weight limit
• You want one machine for every leg exercise
• Plates aren’t in the budget yet

The crate measures 50"L × 36"W × 22"H (1280 × 920 × 555 mm), wider than a standard 32-inch interior door, so measure every doorway, hallway, and stair turn on the delivery route before the truck is booked.

If price is the sticking point, our restored used equipment listings sometimes include Abs Company units, with condition, freight, and warranty disclosed per piece.

Abs Company Froggy vs. a Smith Machine

The Froggy wins on setup speed, while a Smith machine wins on versatility. Here is how The Abs Company Froggy compares with a Smith machine setup and bodyweight floor work for the same glute movement:

Stay with the Smith machine if frog work is an occasional finisher, and buy The Froggy once it becomes a weekly staple for you or your members. Add The Froggy to your cart today and start loading the pattern properly.

How Do Delivery and Returns Work?

The Froggy ships LTL (less-than-truckload), so your crate shares a truck with other freight. The carrier books a delivery appointment with you, and complimentary lift gate service lowers the crate to the ground. Freight to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and APO/FPO military addresses is quoted separately.

Plan the room before the delivery day by leaving walking space on the loading side so plates go on and off without moving the machine. If the station is headed upstairs or onto a busy member floor, book the professional installation instead of building it yourself.

Returns follow a 30-day window from purchase, and the machine must come back undamaged in its original packaging with proof of purchase. A 25% restocking fee applies; you cover all return shipping, and equipment used beyond testing cannot be returned. Cancelling before shipment costs a 2.5% merchant fee, and faults after setup go through the warranty, not returns. Read the full return policy before you commit.

Where Does The Froggy Fit in a Glute Zone?

In a studio or gym, pair The Froggy with a hip thrust station rather than choosing between them. The Glute Lift Elite handles the seated, belted hip thrust, so members get two different ways to load the glutes from two stations.

At home, the Froggy gym machine works best as a second glute station once squats and hip thrusts are covered. As the room grows, the rest of the Abs Company lineup adds AB and conditioning stations.

What Do Buyers Ask About Frog Pumps?

What muscles do frog pumps work on? The glutes do most of the work, driving the hips open with the knees held wide. The hamstrings assist, and the inner thighs stay active, holding the frog position. The Abs Company lists the glutes and hamstrings as the muscles. The Froggy targets.

Do frog pumps grow glutes? They can, as long as the load or effort keeps climbing over time. Like any glute exercise, results depend on your full program, recovery, and nutrition.

Are frog pumps better than glute bridges? Neither wins outright. Glute bridges keep the feet flat and hip-width, which usually allows heavier loading, while frog pumps trade load for a position that leans harder on the glutes. Most glute programs use both.

Are frog pumps bad for you? Not for most healthy lifters. Trouble tends to start when the load jumps too fast or the lower back arches to finish a rep. If you are managing an injury, clear the movement with a physician or physical therapist before loading it.

How many frog pumps should I do? It depends on the load. Bodyweight frog pumps are commonly done for high reps as a warm-up or finisher, while a loaded machine works like any strength exercise: choose a weight you can control for your target reps.
