Leg Machines

Leg machines for the gym allow you to isolate the leg muscle you want to work. By working on one plane of motion they are simple for beginners and usually allow you to lift heavier weights. They are great for creating more stability and fewer injuries. As beneficial as free weights are they can cause numerous injuries, particularly if you are new to exercise and are struggling with the right form. Many leg machines at the gym also allow for single leg action which can help you with muscle imbalances.

Free weights like barbells and dumbbells can be great for working the legs and, if you want to go down this path, we would suggest you look at our range of power racks — for the barbell squat for example you will need a squat rack. Free weights will work your quads, glutes, and hamstrings as well as your core and upper and lower back.

Our leg exercise machines include the leg press which primarily works the quads and the glutes. The hack squat is also great for the quads and is a really good way for you to improve your squat technique. The leg extension machine isolates the quads well and the leg curl machine targets the hamstrings as well as the glutes.

When looking at gym machines for legs do check out the adjustability as this will allow for different workout movements. Also, look for the variety of exercises you can perform on each leg machine and for safety features, like safety lockouts. Always choose the best construction as this will ensure a robust, safe machine. Finally, consider the weight capacity.
