Overview
The Rogue Floor Glute is a compact, space-saving alternative to traditional GHD machines, specifically engineered for performing glute-ham raises (GHRs) and Nordic curls. By utilizing a laser-cut steel floor apparatus rather than a large, elevated frame, it allows athletes to strengthen the posterior chain—hamstrings, glutes, and lower back—in any training environment. Its low-profile design and vertical storage capability make it an ideal choice for garage gyms and facilities where floor space is a premium.

Performance Benefits
Targeted Posterior Chain Development: Specifically designed for the Nordic curl, one of the most effective bodyweight exercises for hamstring hypertrophy and injury prevention (ACL/hamstring tears).
Industrial Stability: Unlike lighter, portable Nordic curl straps, the 108 lb steel frame provides a rock-solid anchor that will not move or tip, even for heavier athletes.
Ergonomic Security: The adjustable ankle rollers and full-width footplate ensure the lower body is locked in, allowing the athlete to focus entirely on the tension of the movement.
Space Efficiency: Provides a dedicated GHR station in less than half the space of a standard GHD machine.
Maintenance and Care
Pad Care: Wipe down the large thigh pad and ankle rollers after each use with a mild, non-bleach disinfectant to prevent sweat from breaking down the vinyl.
Hardware Inspection: Periodically check the bolts on the footplate and side rails. Ensure the height-adjustment pins are clear of debris and locking securely into the 2x3" tubing.
Wheel and Hinge Maintenance: Keep the transport wheels free of hair and gym floor debris to ensure smooth portability.
Storage Safety: When storing the unit vertically, ensure it is placed on a level surface away from high-traffic areas to prevent it from being knocked over.
Warranty Information
Rogue Fitness provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the structural frame and welds for the original purchaser. This covers defects in materials and craftsmanship. The upholstery (thigh pad and rollers) and transport wheels are considered wear items and are covered by a 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this be used for GHD Sit-ups? A: No. The Floor Glute is designed for face-down movements like Nordic curls and hip extensions. It lacks the elevated height and split-pad geometry required for a full-range GHD sit-up.
Q: Is the height of the ankle rollers adjustable? A: Yes, there are six height settings to ensure your ankles are properly aligned with the thigh pad, regardless of your height or shoe size.
Q: Does it come fully assembled? A: No, the Floor Glute ships disassembled to reduce shipping costs. It includes all necessary 1/2" and 3/8" hardware and typically takes 20–30 minutes to assemble.
Q: Do I need to bolt this to the floor? A: At 108 lbs, the unit is generally stable enough to remain stationary for most users. However, if you are an elite-level athlete experiencing any frame movement, the base includes holes that can be used for bolting it down.
