Heavy leg training on a guided path

In a hack squat you stand with your back against the backrest and push the platform up from your legs. The platform push system runs on Power Grade bearings, so the movement is fluid and controlled. Because the machine sets the path, you can train heavy without worrying about balance. That makes the hack squat machine a strong addition to, or variation on, the free squat.

Adjustable for every user

The backrest adjusts in 4 positions and the footplate in 5, so you can match your foot position to your height and to the muscles you want to emphasise. The lock-out height adjusts in 5 positions, so you get in and out at a comfortable height. With the 3 resistance band positions you add extra variety to your training.

Safety and comfort

The safety stop adjusts in 5 positions. This lets you decide how far the platform can drop, which gives peace of mind during heavy sets and when training without a spotter. Anti-slip rubber foot supports and handles provide grip, and the high-density foam pads with PU upholstery support your back and shoulders.

Plate loaded with weight plates

This is a plate loaded machine: you load it with weight plates with a ø 50 mm hole that you buy separately. The lower loading system is easy to reach, so you change weight quickly between sets. The 4 storage pins keep your plates close at hand and the 8 Olympic spring collars (ø 49 mm) lock them in place. The starting weight is 5 kg and the structure can handle a maximum load of 350 kg.

Construction and space required

The heavy steel frame combines 75 x 75 x 3 mm square tubing with ø 50 x 3 mm round tubing. The machine has a double, scratch-resistant powder coating, meets EN20957-1 and EN957-2 class S and is suitable for users up to 160 kg. Set up, the FWX-7290 measures 263.5 x 152 x 188 cm (L x W x H) and weighs 203 kg, so plan for a fixed spot.

Good to know

With a length of 263.5 cm and a weight of 203 kg, this is a substantial machine. Measure your space carefully beforehand, including room to get in and load plates. Weight plates are not included, so factor them in if you do not yet own plates with a ø 50 mm hole.

Frequently asked questions about Toorx Professional AVANT FWX-7290 Hack Squat

What is the difference between a hack squat and a leg press?

In a hack squat you stand with your back against the backrest and move with the platform yourself, much like a squat. In a leg press you sit or lie still and push a footplate away from you. The hack squat therefore feels closer to the free squat, but on a guided path. Both are valuable for heavy leg training.

Which weight plates fit the FWX-7290?

The FWX-7290 is made for weight plates with a ø 50 mm hole, the Olympic size. No plates are included, so you buy them separately. You lock the plates in place with the 8 Olympic spring collars. The 4 storage pins let you keep your plates right next to the machine.

How much space do you need for the FWX-7290?

Set up, the machine measures 263.5 x 152 x 188 cm (L x W x H). Also allow free space to get in and load plates. Weighing 203 kg, the FWX-7290 needs a fixed spot. For a home gym, also check that the floor is suitable for this weight plus the weight plates.

Can you train safely without a spotter?

That is exactly what the adjustable safety stop is for. You set how far the platform can drop in 5 positions. If you fail a rep, the stop catches the weight. Choose the position so it sits just below your lowest training point.

Is the FWX-7290 suitable for professional use?

Yes, the FWX-7290 is built for professional use in gyms, PT studios and corporate fitness. It meets EN20957-1 and EN957-2 class S and is suitable for users up to 160 kg. Thanks to the many adjustment options, the machine suits users of different heights. It is also a serious option for a home gym with enough space.
