About
Inspired by the increasing trend of glute exercises seen in various and dangerous executions in the gyms today, the Nautilus Glute Drive piece safely and smartly isolates your glutes, building power through a strong hip bridge motion, creating sexy glutes, improved hip and core stability. These benefits are universally desirable, important for a wide variety of sports and exercises, and are arguably the most important muscles for total athleticism.
The Nautilus Glute Drive gives you the full benefits of the hip thrust exercise, simply, safely, and with good form. The machine is designed to promote good biomechanics and balanced weight curve. A comfortable padded belt secures the user to the back pad which supports the full length of the spine for added safety. Users can load up to four plates of each side, which gives the machine a max weight load of 360 lbs.
BENEFITS OF THE NAUTILUS GLUTE DRIVE VS. TRADITIONAL HIP THRUST EXERCISE
The hip thrust is the exercise that everyone is doing (or should be doing) in gyms today, and has rapidly become the hottest social media trend in fitness. The glutes are the most powerful muscles in your body, designed to extend the hip and pull the leg behind the body. If your glutes are underdeveloped, your strength, power, and speed are all compromised for sports performance and functional movement. The barbell hip thrust exercise is performed using a low bench, or alternatively from the floor (known as the barbell glute bridge exercise). The exerciser will place a Olympic bar loaded with weight plates directly on the upper thigh, directly below the pelvic region. To help relieve the pressure from the barbell, a towel or foam squat pad is commonly used across the lap. Performing the hip thrust exercise can be tricky, since the exerciser has to get under a loaded bar, maneuver it into position, and then control the weight during the course of the exercise. The exercise itself can be limited in workload potential depending on how much weight the exerciser can not only control, but withstand from feeling crushed beneath the load. And, the hip thrust exercise not only ties up an Olympic bar and bench from use by other gym members, but also takes up a ton of space during execution. Created by innovator Pete Holman to solve these very issues, the patented Nautilus Glute Drive gives you the full benefits of the hip thrust exercise, simply, safely, and with good form. The machine is designed to promote good biomechanics and balanced weight curve. A comfortable padded belt secures the user to the back pad which supports the full length of the spine for added safety. Users can load up to four 45 pound Olympic plates on each side, which gives the machine a max weight load of 360 lbs. Best of all, the Glute Drive contains the exercise within a compact, safe zone, and even allows weight plate storage for convenience and organization with the optional rear storage rack.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What is really the max weight?? I had one at my gym and can load it with 7 45lb plates on each side for a few reps.. Thank you
Users have the ability to load up to four plates on each side which gives the machine a max weight of 360 lbs or utilize the built-in band pegs to modify the max load to their ideal load curve weight.

What differentiates this version of a glute from booty builder platinum and matrix glute drive?
The Nautilus Glute Drive, with the low foot plate, causes a high degree of Quad engagement which then reduces the workload and focus on the glutes. The Booty Builder raises the footplate which then increases the engagement of the glutes and, to a lesser extent, the hamstrings. For Glute development, the Booty Builder is a far more effective and efficient tool.

How much weight are you doing if you don’t add any weights? I’m just trying to track how much weight I do total.
I just spoke with my Nautilus rep and he confirmed that you are doing 35 lbs. without any weight added.

How many people would it take to get this up two small flights of stairs in it's disassembled form?
When you get the glute drive the bench portion and the barbell make up one piece. The foot plate, base and arm handle locks make up the other piece. So there really isn’t much to assemble, which is nice. However, the foot plate base is heavy. The machine weights a little over 200 lbs and I would guess the base weight 125 – 150 lbs. Two adults could get it up the stairs (slowly). You will love this machine!. I am a personal trainer and have this machine for my business. My clients just love it! (As do I) Enjoy and good luck.
