Compact Leg Press & Hack Squat - 2026 Model

Great Compact Option, With Some Room for Improvement

Overall, I’m giving the Compact Leg Press & Hack Squat 4 stars. For the price, I think the quality is appropriate, and it’s a surprisingly stable and well-built machine considering its size. The materials feel good, and it’s easy enough to move around when needed. As a 6’3” user, one thing I really like is the range of motion. I can get very deep on both the leg press and hack squat without feeling overly restricted, which was important to me. The calf raise is also excellent and probably one of my favorite features of the machine. My main reason for not giving it 5 stars is that I was expecting the movement to be a little smoother and more refined. It works well, but the overall feel isn’t quite as smooth or premium as I was hoping for. I’m also not completely convinced that the footprint is dramatically smaller than some other home-gym leg machines. It is definitely compact and easy to maneuver, but the actual floor space savings may not be as significant as the name suggests. One other thing I wish I had known before purchasing: the newer version has some improvements that I would have preferred. If I had known those updates were coming, I probably would have waited for the newer version. Overall, though, I think it’s a good value for the price—stable, versatile, well-made, and capable of a great range of motion, especially for taller users. Just don’t expect the smoothest or most premium leg machine experience.

Everything I Expected

Great piece of equipment. Easy to assemble. I'm able to get good depth. Calf work is exeptional.

OBSESSED. This machine truly is compact and fits perfectly in my limited space home gym. The assembly was easy and most importantly, it feels great to use. Though max loading is 700lbs, weighing in at about 160, I can still load pretty heavy, plus, adding bands absolutely crushes quads in the best way. The value to cost ratio for this piece is off the charts. Highly recommend.
