Description
The lying leg curl is a plate loaded stainless steel machine that targets the hamstrings outdoors, a muscle group that bodyweight equipment cannot load properly. The prone position isolates knee flexion, which is close to impossible to reproduce on conventional outdoor apparatus. Olympic plate loading gives genuine progression, from a beginner through to a trained athlete. The list price is 6,999 EUR excluding VAT.
Stainless construction is specified for permanent weather exposure: no paint to make good, and maintenance limited to cleaning and a periodic check of the articulations. The sizing targets professional use with free public access.

Hamstring work and injury prevention outdoors
Hamstrings are the muscle group most associated with sprint and field sport injuries, and the one most often neglected in training programmes because it is hard to load without equipment. Squats, lunges and step-ups are all quadriceps dominant. An outdoor strength area without a hamstring station leaves a real imbalance in what it can offer, and sports clubs know it.
That is why this machine is usually specified by football, rugby and athletics clubs building preventive strength work into their outdoor sessions, by military bases needing targeted conditioning available at any hour, by municipalities completing a public strength zone that already has squat and press stations, and by gyms extending their weights floor outdoors.
As with any plate loaded machine on an open access site, the storage and security of the Olympic plates has to be planned. A secured rack or a controlled access arrangement is normal, and Light In Fitness settles it during the free layout study. Around the machine, apply the EN 16630 safety zone of at least 1.50 m and a suitable ground surface.
Frequently asked questions
Why a lying leg curl rather than a seated one?
The prone position isolates knee flexion cleanly and removes the hip compensation that creeps into a seated movement. For preventive hamstring work, that isolation is the point of the machine.
Can it be used unsupervised?
It is dimensioned for professional use with free access, and the guided movement makes it safe without a spotter. What needs supervision is plate management rather than the machine itself.
What are the dimensions and what does installation require?
Overall dimensions, plate capacity and the anchoring detail are supplied with the free layout study. Light In Fitness has supported more than 500 sites since 2013 from Tours, installs across France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg, and returns quotations within 24 working hours.
