This thing is very expensive but is super smooth and takes up very little space. I’m not a fan of the side driven models of seated leg curl/extensions because, in my experience, they always end up bent. No matter how well built, and this is well built.

Not my favorite leg press but a well built and high quality piece that has held up well at work for well over a decade. Can at times cause a little low back discomfort when my back is tweaked, but most of the time feels good. We had to replace the lock/unlock mechanism once in about 15 years.

Absolute classic row machine. Footprint is pretty big and some might complain about the strength curve, but I love this piece.

I like this piece as it allows me to really feel my pecs more so than traditional bench. When the weight gets heavier and/or I’m fatiguing more, the handles are such that I feel like I’m getting out of place and the only way for me to complete the rep would be to change position. A good piece in Hammer’s lineup however, for sure.

A classic piece that is popular for a reason. Fairly large footprint for what it is, but that is common of Hammer Strength.

For what it is and what it does it’s great. The cost for why it is and what it does, not so great. For a home gym, if you can find it used for cheap, absolutely grab one. New… only if you have a professional commercial faculty would I suggest it.

This feels better to me than I would have originally thought. I can get a nice big range of motion with no low back discomfort. Does require a decent amount of plates but isn’t terrible in that regard. Amazing footprint.

Very nice and comfortable movement in my opinion. I use my adductors a lot when squatting so I enjoy this movement and like that it hits my quads a little bit more. Not as quad dominant as a traditional leg press. I wish the foot plate was a little bit longer. This thing eats plates but is not the biggest plate eater I have used.
