“Have purchased numerous items from Vulcan and have found their quality service and value to be awesome. Bought their GHD machine and am happy to report that it is the best GHD machine around. Great adjustability for depth, leg height and back positioning. The cushion are firm and supportive without being hard,”

“I have used several GHD's and this is my favorite. Very sturdy and the angled pad does a good job of targeting the muscles this machine is meant to. It is a great value.”

“In my experience, the description for the GHD is misleading and inaccurate for what I was expecting. Vulcan's product description states : "Fully adjustable dual pads with a slight angle. Easy pull pin and dual bearing slider for quick adjustment. Will accommodate any user 5ft to 7ft. Every feature that could be wanted in a GHD (Glute Hamstring Developer) has been incorporated into the Vulcan Glute Ham Developer" I found this machine to be tremendously difficult to adjust. The pull pins are not easy, they are basic screws that you have to completely untwist and remove, then use two hands to move the foot rollers/ down separately, completely guessing if you line up with a hole as you can't see due to the plastic rectangle holder, then try to re-screw the pin in--while still holding the roller in position. It's a 10-minute juggling process to try and get the correct setting. The dual bearing feels impossible to adjust. I'm 5'4'' 112 lbs and have to completely stand behind the machine, lean in, and push as if I'm doing a sled push to adjust the length. Then, need to repeat the guess and check process lining up the screw with the hole. The fixed crescent moon pads do not accommodate a smaller athlete. They go beyond the distance of my hip/pelvis to my ribs, limiting me from being able to do a full rep at 90 degrees- barely able to fold forward 30 degrees. The fixed roundness and size completely limit the range of motion. I tried fixing this by adjusting the length, but it either puts harmful pressure on my knees or above my ribs-- Leaving my hips unsupported and unable to engage the muscles properly. I feel this purchase was a complete waste of $599 for me. The description set an expectation that this could work for glute ham and hyperextension exercises, which is not the case for me. Unfortunately, the return policy results in losing more than half of what I paid after return shipping and the 20% restocking fee. The customer service team does not answer the phone and takes 3 business days to answer an email. I will not buy from Vulcan again and would not recommend their products to anyone.”

“I purchased a squat rack and just recently got the glute ham developer. Absolutely LOVE the equipment. Solid build. Beyond durable. Don’t sleep on Vulcan equipment....they’re at least on par with Rogue.”

“Talk about a tank. This GHD machine is awesome. Was very easy to assemble. (I would however make the single drawing about twice the size). Took about an hour, by myself to assemble. Works like a charm. Very adjustable in the right places. The unit slides beautifully. Pads are very firm, which is perfect. GREAT ITEM, worth the price. Delivered fast, great customer service kept me aware of the units arrival and was delivered safe and sound.”

“Once together it is obvious that this GHD is a beast. I am 6'3" tall and 340lbs. I used this for the first time and it didn't so much as flex under my weight. Impressive. I've seen MANY GHD's in my day, ZERO have the strength, stability and dynamic functionality of this unit and I include brands like Powerlift, Rogue, Elite FTS and Sorinex in that statement. At a significantly lower price I might add. The adjustments on it are very smooth and easy, it's an awesome unit. If I were to give any advice for one potential area of improvement, it would be for a larger foot plate. Overall this is a 5 star unit that would be at home in any hard core commercial gym. I'm sure i will have more Vulcan equipment in my gym in the future.”
