Precor GluteBuilder Pendulum Kickback

Overview

The Pendulum Kickback from the GluteBuilder line is a professional-grade, plate-loaded machine engineered to replicate the cable kickback exercise — but in a more stable, biomechanically efficient manner. Its design isolates the movement to the hip joint, enabling effective glute engagement while minimising involvement of the quads or hamstrings. Perfect for commercial gyms, strength & conditioning areas, PT suites and club strength zones.

Key Features

• Pendular Motion Path for Targeted Glute Activation
  The machine’s pendulum design creates a natural arc of movement that isolates hip extension/hip kickback, maximising glute contraction while minimising knee joint motion.

• Stable Kneeling Support System
  Starting from a kneeling position with knee-pads, chest pad and hand grips ensures a secure base, removing balance requirements and allowing users to focus purely on glute engagement.

• Adjustable Pendulum Bar & Foot Support
  The pendulum bar adjusts to suit different body sizes, and foot/foot-support placement can be tailored to optimise the exercise for activation of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius.

• Plate-Loaded Versatility & Progressive Overload
  Plate-loading allows gradual resistance increases — ideal for users from beginners to advanced — and supports progressive overload for strength and muscle growth.

• Heavy-Duty Commercial Construction
  Built from welded steel tubing with a robust powder-coated frame to withstand the demands of heavy, frequent use in busy gym environments.

• Compact Yet Gym-Ready Footprint
  Reasonably compact for a glute/isolation machine, yet built solidly to handle regular commercial facility loads — suitable for strength zones with limited space or for optimising floor-space layout.

Training Benefits

• Provides effective glute isolation by focusing movement strictly on hip extension/kickback — useful for muscle definition, glute development, and posterior-chain strength.

• Removes balance and stabilisation demands compared with traditional cable kickbacks — making it accessible even for beginners or rehab clients.

• Supports progressive resistance increases thanks to plate loading — ideal for strength progression over time.

• Durable, commercial-grade build ensures longevity even under frequent heavy use — suitable for high-traffic gyms, PT studios or strength facilities.

• Adjustable ergonomics make it suitable for a wide range of body types and training goals (glute maximus hypertrophy, glute medius activation, hip-extension strength, etc.).

Why Choose Pendulum Kickback for Your Facility

The Pendulum Kickback offers a biomechanically optimised, stable, and effective glute-isolation solution for commercial gyms and strength zones. Its pendular motion, targeted hip joint activation, adjustable setup and robust construction make it an excellent investment for gyms or PT studios aiming to deliver quality glute and posterior-chain training to clients — from beginners to advanced lifters.
