Inspired by the increasing trend of hip thrust exercises seen in various and dangerous executions in gyms today, we developed the Nautilus Glute Drive to safely and smartly isolate glutes, build power through a strong hip bridge motion, improve hip and core stability, and ultimately create sexy glutes. The Glute Drive gives users the full benefits of the hip thrust exercise, simply, safely and with proper biomechanics and balanced load curve while having the added benefit of freeing up benches and barbells for other members. These benefits are universally desirable, important for a wide variety of sports and exercises and are arguably the most important muscles for total athleticism. A comfortable padded belt secures the user to the back pad which supports the full length of the spine for added safety. Users have the ability to load up to four plates on each side which gives the machine a max weight of 360 lbs or utilize the built-in band pegs to modify the max load to their ideal load curve weight. The Glute Drive is an efficient and effective all-in-one solution that makes the hip thrusting motion accessible to everyone.
