Glute-ham raises, back extensions, hyperextensions, reverse hypers. $400-600. Best posterior chain development machine — trains hamstrings through both functions simultaneously. Correct for athletes wanting comprehensive posterior chain work without dedicated leg curl machine.
The REP Fitness GHD covers more posterior chain ground than any other piece in this lineup: glute-ham raises, back extensions, hyperextensions, and reverse hypers all run on the same frame. The footplate and ankle-anchor geometry holds the lower body solid through the GHR range of motion, and the hip pad accommodates both standard hyperextension and full GHR positioning. For lifters who want comprehensive hamstring and glute work without buying a separate leg curl machine, the GHD is the single-purchase answer. Construction is heavier than a basic hyperextension bench, which is necessary because the GHR generates significant torque at the foot anchors.
Pros

- GHR is one of the most effective hamstring exercises available
- Solid foot-anchor geometry holds form through full ROM
