FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is the True Fitness PLS-1700 Glute Press worth the investment for a home or commercial gym?

Yes. The PLS-1700 is built with commercial-grade durability and biomechanically engineered mechanics, making it a smart long-term investment for both home and commercial settings. It replaces multiple exercises by effectively isolating the glutes while engaging supporting muscles. If glute development and athletic performance are priorities, this machine delivers consistent, joint-safe results that justify the cost over time.

Does the True Fitness PLS-1700 come with a warranty, and what is the return policy?

The PLS-1700 is backed by True Fitness's manufacturer warranty covering the frame, parts, and labor. Specific warranty terms and our return policy are available on this page or by contacting our support team. We recommend reaching out before purchase to clarify coverage details and ensure this machine fits your training space and goals.

What muscles does the PLS-1700 Glute Press target?

The PLS-1700 primarily targets the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus. Its natural hip extension movement path also engages the hamstrings, hip flexors, and core stabilizers. This makes it more than a single-muscle machine — it supports functional lower-body strength that carries over to athletic performance, everyday movement, and injury prevention.

Is the PLS-1700 Glute Press suitable for beginners?

Yes. The controlled movement path and plate-loaded resistance make it easy to start light and progressively add weight as strength improves. Beginners benefit from the guided range of motion, which reduces injury risk while building proper hip drive mechanics. It's equally effective for advanced athletes looking for targeted glute overload and performance training.

How much weight can the PLS-1700 Glute Press hold?

The PLS-1700 is built to handle significant plate-loaded resistance, suitable for both beginner and advanced lifters. Exact weight capacity specifications are listed in the product details section of this page. Its commercial-grade steel construction ensures stability and safety even under heavy loads, making it reliable for high-intensity training sessions.

How does plate-loaded resistance work on the PLS-1700 Glute Press?

Plate-loaded machines use standard weight plates that you load manually onto the machine's pegs or arms. This gives you precise control over resistance without relying on a weight stack. The PLS-1700 uses this system to allow smooth, scalable progression — simply add or remove plates to match your strength level, keeping training adaptable and effective over time.
