Frequently Asked Questions

How is it different from lying or seated leg curls?
The standing position activates more muscle fibers and enables unilateral work, which improves symmetry and neuromuscular control. It also avoids pressure on the hips or lower back.

Which muscles does it work?
Mainly the hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus). The calves are also activated secondarily.

Can you train with one leg at a time?
Yes. The machine is specifically designed for unilateral work, allowing you to focus on one leg and effectively correct asymmetries.

Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Its guided motion and stable posture make it ideal for learning proper technique and maintaining control from day one.

Does it take up a lot of space?
No. It’s compact and perfect for complementing other leg machines like leg press, extensions, or hip thrusts in medium-sized spaces.
