About
Body Solid exercise science experts understand that one of the most neglected muscle groups in popular training are the glutes and hamstrings. Athletes pay them special attention, but average people don’t understand the physiology behind them. The Glute and Ham Machine | SGH500 is designed to strengthen, tone, and fully engage both, and the lower back as well.
Are the glutes firing? That’s the question people need to ask themselves when doing squats, deadlifts, jogging, or any number of other exercises that incorporate the lower body. All too often muscle imbalances created by modern life have people thinking they’re using their glutes and hamstrings, but they’re not. The over-reliance on the lower back and quadriceps leads to injury.
AN INTEGRAL PART OF FITNESS
Through free body motion the mechanical nature of movement is stripped away, leaving an adjustable workout in its place. Once the glutes are taught to fire appropriately and tension throughout the lower body is distributed accordingly, the challenges of everyday life begin to become shades easier.
One of the best tips to ensuring the glutes are in on the party is to lift the toes off the ground during an exercise. This forces the weight onto the heels and engages the glutes. The SGH500 makes it easy though, and allows one to toss in some of the core, and lower back as well. However, great caution should be taken not to overstrain the lower back, especially when starting out.
SGH500 MODEL SPECIFICATIONS
First and foremost there are both vertical as well as horizontal adjustments which make it almost too easy to maintain proper form for almost any size user. Form is everything, especially when it come to a machine that’s meant to isolate and concentrate on the lower posterior muscles like the glutes, hamstrings, calves, abs, and obliques.
The Body Solid Glute & Ham Machine | SGH500 padding is over-sized for maximized comfort, and it’s composed of the renowned DuraFirm upholstery which is durable, scratch and tear resistant, and won’t go flat for a very long time. Finally, everything is commercially rated which means high-quality and easy access. However, don’t let that fool you because this machine packs a punch and gets the job done right.
It’s a compact specialty fitness product perfectly suited for nearly any environment, whether privately used in the home, or a big favorite around the local club.
WARRANTIES & BODY-SOLID QUALITY
At the end of the day all the good things about this machine mean little it if breaks down or doesn’t work as it should. That’s why Body-Solid offers amazing warranties on all of their products, because they’re just that good.

The pulleys, bushings, bearings, and other hardware come with a 2 year warranty, and as for the frames, welds, weight plates, and guiding riods – a lifetime warranty! It doesn’t get much better than that.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Is this too tall to use in 7 foot basement?
Not at all. I am 6’2″ and when I sit straight up on the GHD my head is barely higher than when I stand on the floor. If you are shorter than 6′ 9″ it should be fine.

11 gauge

"This is a really nice ham glute developer for the money. There isn't anything out there close to this price and this quality. Pros: Solidly built, Easily adjustable, Pegs to help you get up on the unit, Good pads, Front band attachments, Unit is comfortable Cons: Fairly large for what it is. Be nice if there was a slight edge on the back side of the pads not an issue though once broken in. Be nice if the front of the unit was adjustable to convert into dip station. I would recommend this unit to someone looking to buy one for home use. I don't think the extra money is needed for one with the roller pads if you are using it for home use."

"Very solidly made. No loosenes. Good adjustment. As others have noted it is very large...I was surprised how large it is even after reading others reviews. Have had none of the "creaking" noises from the plywood under the front pads. This would fit right in at a commercial gym."
