RitFit Gazelle 3-in-1 Leg Press Hack Squat vs Body-Solid GLPH1100B Leg Press & Hack Squat

The Body-Solid GLPH1100B is the sturdier, better-backed machine: 11-gauge 2x4 steel, three lockout positions and a 2-year warranty, and owners of the GLPH line consistently call it smooth and built to last. The RitFit Gazelle is the more compact and more versatile pick, adding a third lower-body station and a smaller footprint for tight garages. Both are plate-loaded combo machines that do leg press and hack squat well; the choice comes down to space and whether you want the extra station.

• Choose the RitFit Gazelle if you have a tight space, want a third lower-body exercise in one frame, and prefer a lighter, shorter machine.
• Choose the Body-Solid GLPH1100B if you want the heavier-gauge frame, controlled lockout positions and a longer warranty from an established strength brand.
