Giant Back Hyperextension

This machine is decent. It is adequate enough for doing glute-ham raises or hyperextensions.

While you can do the exercises on this machine without much trouble, the machine itself does have a few design flaws. First, the machine could stand to be constructed a little bit more sturdier. It is slightly wobbly, even when all screws are fastened tightly. Secondly, the seat pad apparently has a severe defect with it. The cushion can separate from the wooden base. Lastly, the seat cushion is not very comfortable for males. It puts a lot of pressure on the genitals and the pubic bone.

The other issue is Yukon''s (the manufacturer) customer service is terrible. My seat pad came torn on delivery. It took Yukon approximately 3 months to ship out the replacement. After a month and a half their policy seemed to be deception, and they kept telling me the seat would be delivered "next week," 4 weeks in a row.

One service rep stated that the seat replacement is in so much demand that is in constant back-order. That is a red flag in itself.

I recommend that if you do purchase this equipment you also buy some duct tape and thoroughly wrap it around the seat cushion and the base of the seat cushion. It should give the seat enough support so that it doesn''t end up separating.

If you want a machine to workout your lower back, glutes, hamstrings, and abs, look no further. I only wish the foot holders and plates were a little wider.

"Machine is cheaply made cosmetically but gauge of the steal is fairly decent. The pad is barely stapled on to the flimsy particle board and it''s very narrow for anyone who has a bigger body they may want to consider another option due to the fact its hard to stabilize because of its narrow pad surface. It was however shipped promptly and with all parts."

An excellent price for such a well-crafted piece of equipment. A previous reviewer noted that while it isn''t quite up to commercial grade glute-ham machines it''s pretty close -is 100% correct. The only differences that I could find between the HYP-156 and a commercial model is that the commercial model uses a heavier gage of steel/aluminum in the frame and that the foot rests are vinyl covered. Put some black duct tape on the foot rests and you''ll be fine. This piece of equipment is excellent for frequent home use. It is sturdy, adjusts well, and is sturdy. I highly recommend it!

The assembly instructions were very clear and yes --I know this is hard to believe but all the parts were there: nuts, washers, bolts, everything! When assembling, I recommend getting the basic frame together first and then tighten everything down. The tolerances are well engineered and don''t leave much wiggle room if you''re a bit out of alignment.

Again an excellent well-made, quality piece of exercise equipment!!

It works well but needs to be level before all bolts are tightened. Not the greatest quality. Cautioned should be used during high intensity workouts so as not to break it.
