Plate Loaded Equipment - Lower Body

Capable of delivering a safe, customisable and targeted workout, plate-loaded lower body gym equipment is designed to help users develop a strong base. Commercial plate-loaded strength machines use weight plates to create resistance against the movements of a range of lower body exercises, to strengthen, build and tone the muscles of the legs and hips.

Lower body plate-loaded machines, like seated calf, squat calf, hack squat and leg press/extension/curl machines, allow users to add very specific weight, giving them precise control over their exercise. The simplicity of the equipment, meanwhile, makes it ideal for all levels of gym experience.

What are the leg machines at gyms called?

Plate-loaded lower body gym equipment comes in a variety of forms, including seated calf machines, squat calf machines, hack squat machines, leg press machines, and leg extension/leg curl machines (which are generally combined into the one machine).
