Bulldog Gear Hip Thrust Bench – Commercial Glute Bench
Description
Build Stronger Glutes with a Stable, Purpose-Built Hip Thrust Bench
The Bulldog Gear Commercial Hip Thrust Bench is designed specifically for one of the most effective lower body exercises available – the barbell hip thrust. Unlike using a standard flat bench, our purpose-built design provides the ideal height and shoulder support to help you achieve greater range of motion, improved comfort and maximum glute activation on every repetition.
Whether you're training for strength, athletic performance or muscle development, a dedicated hip thrust bench provides a safer and more stable platform than balancing against a traditional weight bench. The result is more efficient training, improved confidence under heavy loads and a better overall lifting experience.
Suitable for both commercial gyms and serious home gym environments, the Bulldog Gear Hip Thrust Bench is built to withstand years of heavy use while maintaining the comfort and support needed for high-volume training.
Why Choose a Dedicated Hip Thrust Bench?
Although many athletes perform hip thrusts using a flat bench, standard benches were never designed for the movement. They are often too high, too narrow and can move during heavy sets, making it difficult to maintain consistent positioning.
The Bulldog Gear Hip Thrust Bench has been developed specifically for hip thrust training, providing the correct height and a wide, stable platform that allows you to focus entirely on generating power through the hips.
Benefits
- Optimised height for hip thrusts and glute bridges
- Stable, purpose-built design for heavy lifting
- Comfortable shoulder support during every repetition
- High-density foam padding for long-lasting support
- Commercial-grade vinyl upholstery
- Suitable for home gyms, PT studios and commercial facilities
- Easy to clean and maintain
Built for Performance
Every component has been selected to provide durability, comfort and long-term performance.
The high-density foam maintains its shape under repeated heavy loading, providing consistent support session after session. Unlike lower-quality foam that softens or compresses over time, the dense padding offers a stable platform for both heavy strength work and high-volume accessory training.
Finished with durable commercial-grade vinyl upholstery, the bench is easy to wipe clean and designed to cope with daily use in busy training environments.
More Than Just Hip Thrusts
While designed primarily for barbell hip thrusts, the bench is equally effective for a range of lower body exercises, including:
- Barbell Hip Thrusts
- Glute Bridges
- Single-Leg Hip Thrusts
- Bulgarian Split Squats
- Elevated Glute Bridge Holds
- Banded Hip Thrusts
- Hip Extension Drills
Its compact footprint also makes it an excellent addition to facilities where space is at a premium.

The Bulldog Gear Hip Thrust Bench is ideal for:
- Commercial gyms
- Strength & conditioning facilities
- Personal training studios
- Home gyms
- Functional fitness gyms
- Powerlifters
