Leg Press/Hack Squat

The Dynasty Fitness DRE8016 Leg Press/Hack Squat is the DRE80 Series' most versatile lower body machine — a single selectorized station that delivers both the seated leg press and the supine hack squat from one compact 78"×39.5" footprint, covering the two compound lower body movements that together develop quad size and strength, glute depth, and hamstring engagement more completely than either exercise alone. A two-stage footplate design separates the machine's two training functions mechanically — the upper footplate section positions for enhanced glute and posterior chain activation in the hack squat, while the lower section focuses the drive line on quad-dominant leg press mechanics — and a 9-position seat and back pad adjustment, 5-position backrest angle, and 9-position shoulder pad height combine to fit every user from a 5-foot recreational trainer to a 6-foot-plus competitive athlete precisely and safely. All adjustments operate single-handed. A 295 lb standard selectorized stack with a 395 lb upgrade and premium extra-thick guide rails on linear bearings produce the smooth, zero-friction resistance path that heavy loaded compound leg training demands. Trusted by professional athletes, government health facilities, doctors, personal trainers, commercial gym operators, and serious home gym builders across the country, the DRE8016 is Dynasty Fitness's most proven lower body machine — built to commercial grade and backed by a track record that spans every type of serious training environment.

• Two complete compound lower body exercises from one machine — seated leg press for quad-dominant bilateral pushing power and supine hack squat for deep glute and hamstring activation with spinal support — covering both the movement patterns and the muscle loading angles that a complete lower body development program requires without two separate machines or two footprints
• Two-stage footplate delivers two mechanically distinct training positions in one footboard: the upper section optimized for glute and posterior chain loading in the hack squat, the lower section aligned for quad-emphasis leg press mechanics — giving users access to different lower body muscle targeting without a machine change
• Three-axis adjustment system of 9-position seat/back pad, 5-position backrest angle, and 9-position shoulder pad height accommodates every body proportion from shorter recreational users to taller competitive athletes precisely — all single-hand operable, covering correct hip, knee, and shoulder alignment across both exercises for every user on the machine
• Premium extra-thick guide rails on linear bearings (φ32 and φ47 precision bearing sets) deliver a zero-friction, zero-catching movement path under the full 395 lb upgraded stack — the smooth rail quality that makes heavy compound leg training feel mechanically correct through every centimeter of the press and squat arc

Exercises and muscles targeted

The DRE8016 covers more lower body muscle targeting variation than any other single selectorized machine in the DRE80 lineup. The combination of two exercise positions, two footplate stages, foot placement height variation, and stance width variation produces eight distinct lower body loading patterns from one station. Switching between them requires only the position changes the machine's three-axis adjustment system provides — no additional equipment, no additional footprint, and no additional weight stack.
