The Body-Solid Glute & Ham Machine effectively isolates and strengthens the lower back, abs, obliques, calves, glutes and hamstrings. It supports a wide variety of movements — glute-ham raises, hip extensions, back extensions, reverse hyperextensions, Sorensen holds and GHD sit-ups — and band pegs on the bottom let you add resistance bands or tubes for even more effective training.

Thick, double-stitched DuraFirm™ 19 cm knee & shin pads and oversized foam rollers keep you comfortable and supported, while vertical and horizontal adjustments ensure users of all sizes can train safely.

What is a glute-ham machine for?
It builds the entire posterior chain — glutes, hamstrings and lower back — through glute-ham raises, plus back, hip and reverse extensions, Sorensen holds and GHD sit-ups for the abs and obliques.

How is it different from a roman chair?
A roman chair mainly does back extensions. A full glute-ham developer like the SGH500 adds glute-ham raises and reverse hyperextensions, with knee and shin pads and a much wider range of posterior-chain movements.

Can I add resistance?
Yes — band pegs on the base let you attach resistance bands or tubes for progressively harder workouts.

Is it easy to move?
Yes. It has built-in transport wheels and an integrated step, so you can reposition it easily around a gym.

Is it suitable for home or commercial use?
It’s heavy-commercial rated with a lifetime frame & welds warranty — ideal for busy facilities and hardcore home gyms alike.

Where does it ship from and how is it delivered?
It ships free by freight from our Adelaide warehouse (Woodville North, SA 5012) in a single box (~67 kg). Orders are dispatched the next business day, with delivery typically 3–8 business days to metropolitan areas. Freight orders are usually left unattended (Authority to Leave), so please ensure there's a safe, accessible spot to receive it.
