The XMark Seated Calf Raise Machine is a plate-loaded exercise machine that is ideal for targeting lower body muscles, such as the calves and glutes. The frame of the machine is made of durable 11-gauge steel, and the bronze powder coat finish adds an extra layer of protection against rust and other types of corrosion. The back and seat are both contoured and upholstered in 2" thick high-density commercial grade foam which help provide a more secure and comfortable workout experience. The machine also features a variable-resistance weight stack, which allows users to adjust the weight easily to accommodate different weight ranges. The pads are adjustable so that users can find the position that is best for them to maximize their performance. Additionally, the XMark Seated Calf Raise Machine features a wide base that provides optimal stability, plus the dual-position handles provide added safety and the modifiable footrests allow for various ranges of motion. The machine can accommodate users of all sizes, making it extremely versatile. Additionally, the weight stack is enclosed to provide not only a safer environment, but also a more pleasant home gym setting. This machine is also extremely low-maintenance, making it an ideal choice for gyms, physical therapy centers, or simply at-home use.
