Hoist Glute Thrust - CF-3416 Black

What our Experts Think

• Dedicated glute development machine: Designed specifically for hip thrusts, isolating the glutes for maximum strength and hypertrophy
• Patented 4-bar support system: Keeps knees properly bent to reduce quad involvement and ensure pure glute activation
• Safe, guided hip thrust motion: Oversized adjustable hip pad provides secure positioning and eliminates unstable barbell setups
• Smooth commercial mechanics: Sealed ball-bearing pivots deliver consistent, quiet movement even under heavy loads
• Joint-friendly biomechanics: Stable arc of motion reduces lower-back strain compared to free-weight hip thrusts
• Efficient training flow: Integrated plate storage and easy step-in design improve gym workflow and usability
• Heavy-duty construction: Built for commercial environments with durable frame and protective weight horns for noise reduction

Q&A

Q1: What is the Hoist CF-3416 Glute Thrust used for?
A: It is a commercial plate-loaded hip thrust machine designed to isolate and strengthen the glutes while also engaging hamstrings and core stability muscles.

Q2: What makes the CF-3416 different from barbell hip thrusts?
A: It provides a guided, stable movement path with a padded hip support, eliminating setup difficulty and improving safety and consistent glute activation.

Q3: How does the machine improve glute activation?
A: The patented 4-bar support system keeps the knees bent to reduce quad involvement, maximizing glute isolation during hip thrusts.

Q4: Is the movement smooth and comfortable?
A: Yes, sealed ball-bearing pivots ensure a smooth, quiet motion, while the oversized adjustable hip pad provides secure and ergonomic support.

Q5: What is the weight capacity of the CF-3416?
A: It supports up to 225 lbs of training load, with up to 340 lbs effective resistance at the hip pad depending on configuration.

Q6: What is the machine size?
A: Approximate dimensions are 66.5” L × 55.3” W × 37.6” H, making it compact for a commercial lower-body station.

Q7: Is it suitable for commercial gyms?
A: Yes, it is built for full commercial environments with heavy-duty steel construction and integrated weight storage for high-traffic use.

Q8: What safety features does it include?
A: It includes a fixed movement path, secure hip pad positioning, and controlled biomechanics that reduce injury risk compared to free-weight hip thrusts.

Maintenance Tips

• Daily cleaning: Wipe oversized hip pad, foot platform, and frame to remove sweat and maintain upholstery durability.
• Inspect pivot system: Check sealed ball-bearing pivots for smooth, quiet motion—no grinding or stiffness should occur.
• Check 4-bar linkage system: Ensure all movement arms operate evenly and show no looseness or misalignment.
• Lubricate pivot points: Use light silicone or lithium grease periodically to maintain smooth hip thrust motion and reduce wear.
• Tighten frame bolts: Regularly inspect and secure all hardware—critical for stability under heavy glute thrust loads (~337 lb machine weight).
• Inspect weight horns: Check high-impact polypropylene-coated storage horns for cracks or looseness to maintain safety and noise reduction.
• Pad & upholstery check: Ensure hip pad remains firm, adjustable, and free from tears for proper positioning and comfort.
• Floor stability: Verify unit remains level and stable, especially in high-traffic commercial gym settings.
