Bodytone Forza FB51 glute machine

The Bodytone Forza FB51 is a selectorised glute machine built for commercial gyms, delivering a guided glute kickback on a 107 kg weight stack. It belongs to the Forza range, Bodytone’s professional selectorised line, and is sized for continuous daily use in fitness clubs, hotel gyms, corporate facilities and physical preparation centres. The footprint is 103 x 107 cm for a height of 150 cm, so the station fits into a strength circuit without oversizing the room.

The frame is welded from carbon steel tube by a robotised process with no weld spatter: 110 x 50 mm section in 2.5 mm wall thickness for the stack column, 100 x 50 mm in 2.5 mm for the functional arm. Finishing runs in three stages, with full immersion degreasing, an anti-corrosion primer and two epoxy polyester powder coats cured at 240 degrees C. Weight guide rods are stainless steel with a double hard chrome treatment for smooth travel, and the cables are 5 mm PVC coated steel rated at a 1,000 kg breaking index.

Technical specification

Installation and gym layout

Allow the 103 x 107 cm machine footprint plus a clear working perimeter for entry, exit and staff supervision. A working allowance of around 2.4 x 2.2 m per station is a sensible planning figure in a selectorised circuit, and the loaded mass of roughly 197 kg is spread across rubber footed bases, which keeps point loading low on a screed or suspended floor. The station suits a lower body pod alongside leg press, leg curl and abductor machines, and its rubber bumpers and PVC plate pads keep stack noise down in facilities where the strength area sits close to reception or a studio wall.

Our team can produce a scaled layout for the room and confirm delivery access, floor protection and the rubber flooring specification under the stack. Shipping runs 5 to 10 working days from stock to France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg; export is costed per project.

Frequently asked questions

Which muscles does the FB51 train?

The machine performs a guided glute kickback, loading the gluteus maximus as the prime mover with the hamstrings assisting hip extension. The padded torso support and fixed handles hold the pelvis in place, which limits lumbar compensation and makes the movement easy to coach for beginners.

Can the weight stack be increased?

The FB51 ships with 107 kg in 7 kg increments as standard. Add on plates can be quoted with the machine where a facility trains advanced athletes; tell us the target load when you request a quotation and we will confirm availability for your order.

What warranty and servicing apply?

Warranty runs from 2 to 5 years depending on the range. Servicing is limited to periodic lubrication of the bearings and calibrated steel guide rods, plus a visual check of cables and upholstery. Light In Fitness has supplied and serviced professional equipment from Tours since 2013.
