I don’t say this lightly—this machine completely exceeded my expectations. There is no comparison between this and the machine I replaced.
The first thing that stands out is the range of motion. It is significantly better than my previous setup—smoother, deeper, and far more natural. You can actually feel the difference immediately on the first rep. The movement path just makes sense biomechanically, and it allows you to fully engage the target muscles in a way my old machine never did.
The build quality is also on another level. Everything is solid, stable, and purpose-built for serious training. There’s no wobble, no awkward positioning—just a clean, controlled pull every time. It is commercial-grade equipment you’d expect in a top-tier gym.
The aesthetics of this machine are just as impressive as its performance. The blue frame paired with the clean lines and heavy-duty construction gives it a true high-end, commercial gym presence. It doesn’t look like typical home gym equipment—it looks like something you’d find in an elite training facility. The finish is sharp, the design is purposeful, and even the way the plates load and sit on the machine adds to its visual appeal. It honestly elevates the entire room and makes the gym feel more serious the moment you walk in.
Bottom line: This is one of the best additions I’ve made to my gym. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. It’s worth it. Unreal piece of equipment. Couldn’t be happier.
The Prime Fitness hack squat is a remarkable piece of equipment. It can be used by new and advanced lifters. The banding system on it is next level and allows you to adjust the tension by stretching the band. This is useful for individuals who aren't comfortable moving into full knee flexion under load because you can decrease the tension as you lower the weight.
It is also a very comfortable piece of equipment and can be used by both taller and shorter individuals. Whether you are 6'7" or 5'0" tall, you can adjust the starting position and foot plate to best fit your mechanics.
Finally, you can adjust the back pad so you can place greater emphasis on hip flexion or training calves.
The Prime plate loaded hack squat machine has been a perfect addition to our gym. It is so smooth and adjustable without causing any knee or back issues. Prime made adding bands easy which allows the users to adjust the lift tension in 9 different ways. Plus, the back pad adjusts turning the hack squat machine into an entirely different squat press machine. Personally, I like adjusting the back pad and using it for calf raises. It is a very smooth and versatile machine making it a great addition to any gym.
