The Hammer Strength V-Squat delivers the strength benefits of a squat with a natural arc of motion that balances support and freedom. Unlike the Pendulum-X Squat, which allows deep hip and knee flexion for explosive range and a dramatic visual impact, this V-Squat machine is slightly more restrained at the knee—making it ideal for lifters who want a hip-dominant squat pattern with stability under load.
And while the Hack Squat locks users into a strict, linear path that limits hip engagement and emphasizes quads, the V-Squat allows the hips to stay active, encouraging a more athletic transfer of power. It’s a strong, grounded movement pattern that builds strength that shows up when it counts.

A PLATE-LOADED FAVORITE
Bring the intensity of a gym workout home with the Plate-Loaded V-Squat. This popular back machine can be found in some of the most iconic strength meccas around the world and has been a Hammer Strength staple for decades.
PUSH-PULL RACKING MECHANISM
The low-profile, multi-grip racking handle gives exercisers total control over the start and stop of their sets. Just push or pull to engage or disengage the carriage—no awkward reaching or shifting needed. It’s fast, intuitive, and keeps athletes locked in the zone before, during, and after every lift.
ERGONOMIC HANDLES
Positioned right where the hands naturally fall, these neutral-grip handles provide stability without breaking squat rhythm. The placement mimics a traditional barbell squat, while the ergonomic design reduces wrist strain and keeps lifters focused on power and control—not grip discomfort.
NON-SLIP PLATFORM
Built for stability and versatility, the large, non-slip platform on our Hammer Strength V-Squat machine gives exercisers the confidence to drive through every rep. Whether pressing with a narrow, wide, or staggered stance, this surface ensures secure footing for maximum power output.
POWER YOUR LEG DAY WITH CONFIDENCE
There’s a fine line between stability and restriction—and our V-Squat machine walks it perfectly. The platform, back support, and foot angle give exercisers the confidence to attack heavy reps, but the machine doesn’t force the user into a rigid, linear track. That subtle freedom allows lifters to press through their own natural mechanics—more like a real squat, less like a machine.
HOW IT WORKS
A straight path might look clean on paper—but the body doesn’t move that way under load. The V-Squat’s curved arc is engineered to follow a more natural squatting pattern, reducing excessive shear on the knees and unnecessary compression on the lower back. This arc allows exercisers to load up confidently and train harder, while still respecting the mechanics of the body.
HOW IT'S MADE
Hammer Strength plate loaded machines are made with 11-guage steel frames and electrostatic powder coat finish for maximum durability. There are numerous seat adjustments to allow you to find your perfect position and muscle isolation. Molded foam on the cushions provides comfort, support, and durability. All machines have holes in the feet that allow for easy anchoring to the floor.

ISO-LATERAL ROW
Life Fitness has been a leader in the stationary cycle category ever since the creation of the LifeCycle which was the world’s first electronic exercise bike. The Symbio SwitchCycle is the latest iteration of stationary cycle products with novel features and upgrades.

The SwitchCycle blends the designs of a traditional upright bike and a group cycle bike to create a versatile cycling experience.
HOW IT WORKS
Two independent work-arms move and abduct to work the Latissimus Dorsi (Lats ) and several other muscle groups. The multi-grip handles let you effortlessly adjust positions to isolate and develop different parts of your back. The slightly angled seat and chest pad allow stabilization throughout the entire movement.
