This HVO Fitness hip thrust machine is one of those budget, plate-loaded home gym pieces that’s actually a game changer if you hate barbell hip thrust setup. For about $300, it’s smooth, compact, has steel weight horns, and the moving back pad makes it way easier to stay locked in and squeeze at the top.

Pros

+Very affordable price point for a dedicated hip thrust machine
+Smooth, controlled motion with a solid squeeze at the top
+Steel weight horns (more durable than plastic)
+Adjustable footplate helps fit different heights
+Compact footprint for a basement/garage gym
+Safety handles let you stop a rep quickly

Cons

-Not a commercial-grade machine—don’t treat it like one
-Range of motion won’t be great for lifters over ~6’2
-Anti-slip platform still needs proper shoes (barefoot can slip)
