Hip Thrust Machines and Glute Trainers

Gear for hip thrusts and glute bridges, from a belt for a bench you already own up to a dedicated machine. Belts cost least: the Lara Star hip thrust belt ($49, black or pink) or the $79 version.

Benches double as plyo boxes: the 60cm ($199) and 90cm ($345) glute bench plyo boxes, the foam plyo box ($299) and the foam functional plyo bench ($399). There’s also the multifunctional glute pad ($125). Machines include the hip thrust machine ($599), the glute thrust trainer ($299) and the LivePro hip thrust, split squat and stretch trainer ($795).

Set the bench edge just below your shoulder blades, keep your chin tucked and drive through your heels. More boxes are in plyo boxes.
