Build stronger hamstrings with a dedicated leg curl machine. Our range covers seated, lying, kneeling and standing leg curl machines, plus combination leg extension and leg curl units and adjustable benches with a leg curl attachment, so there is an option for every home gym, PT studio and commercial fitness floor.
Types of Leg Curl Machines
Seated Leg Curl Machines
You sit upright with a thigh pad holding your legs in place and curl the lower pad down and under. The seated position puts the hamstrings on a stretch at the hip, which many lifters find gives a stronger contraction. A good first choice for commercial gyms and serious home setups.
Lying and Prone Leg Curl Machines
You lie face down and curl the pad towards your glutes. Prone leg curls are a gym-floor staple, easy for beginners to learn and great for isolating the hamstrings with heavy loads. Plate loaded and iso-lateral versions let each leg work independently to fix strength imbalances.
Kneeling and Standing Leg Curl Machines
These single-leg designs train one side at a time, adding variety and helping even out left-to-right differences. They also tend to have a smaller footprint than lying models, which suits studios where floor space is tight.
Leg Extension and Leg Curl Combination Machines
A 2-in-1 machine trains quads and hamstrings from one station by switching the pad position. It is the most space-efficient way to cover both movements in a home gym or a small facility. Browse more quad and lower-body options in our leg press machines range.
Benches with a Leg Curl Attachment
For home gyms on a budget, an adjustable weight bench with a leg developer lets you do leg curls and leg extensions using weight plates, then flip back to a standard bench for pressing work. See our full range of adjustable weight benches.
How to Choose a Leg Curl Machine
Home or Commercial Use
Home users training a few times a week are well served by a bench attachment or a 2-in-1 machine. Gyms and studios with daily, multi-user traffic need a commercial-grade frame, sealed bearings and upholstery built for constant use. Explore our wider commercial pin loaded machines.
Pin Loaded or Plate Loaded
Pin loaded machines have a built-in weight stack, so changing resistance takes seconds, ideal for busy gyms and members of all levels. Plate loaded machines use your existing weight plates, usually cost less, take up less room and offer a more natural strength curve. Compare the commercial plate loaded machines range.
Space and Footprint
Lying machines need the most length, while seated, kneeling and standing designs are more compact. Check each product's dimensions and allow room to get on and off comfortably.
Adjustability
Look for an adjustable back pad, ankle roller and range-of-motion settings so the machine fits users of different heights and protects the knees.

Leg Curl Machine FAQ's
A leg curl machine mainly works the hamstrings, the muscles at the back of the thigh. It also engages the calves, especially when your feet are flexed. Strong hamstrings support knee stability, sprinting and jumping, and balance out quad-dominant exercises like squats and leg extensions.
Both are effective, and many programs use both. Seated leg curls train the hamstrings in a lengthened position at the hip, which research links to strong muscle growth. Lying leg curls are easy to learn and load heavily. If you can only fit one, a seated machine is a great all-rounder.
Yes. An adjustable weight bench with a leg developer attachment lets you do leg curls and leg extensions with weight plates in a small space. A 2-in-1 leg extension and leg curl machine is the next step up if you want a smoother movement and a built-in weight stack.
Pin loaded machines have a built-in weight stack, so you change resistance by moving a pin. They suit gyms with many users. Plate loaded machines use separate weight plates, are generally more affordable and compact, and give a feel closer to free weights.
For most home gyms and smaller studios, yes. A combination machine trains both the quads and hamstrings from one footprint, saving space and money compared with buying two separate machines. Busy commercial gyms usually prefer separate machines so two members can train at once.
Yes. We deliver leg curl machines Australia-wide and offer assembly and installation, which is recommended for heavier commercial machines. You can also see many models in person at our showrooms in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and the Gold Coast before you buy.
