IPR Fitness Glute Kickback PRO Patented 100% Made in The USA

Fits well and great tool for glute work.

Product looks ok but as some previous reviewers had posted, disappointed that the d ring is actually made of plastic instead of metal. Hence, this brings straight away into question how much loading can this take and whether the plastic will break. Safety issue right from the get go.

As a 64 year-old recipient of bi-lateral hip replacements I've used this Glute Kickback PRO for a more specific and comfortable range of motion throughout multiple movements vs. the ankle cuff I initially used. It allows me to focus on the specific movement w/out being distracted by a cuff that slips up or down my tibia/lower calf. The PRO allows me flexibility to use cables at the gym or on days I can't make it to the gym I simply use resistance bands anchored to a door at home to replicate cable machine movements. With the PRO I can focus on driving through my heel to concentrate on complete Gluteal (minimum, medius, maximus) strengthening/development -- critical after hip replacement surgery. While the PRO works great for my Glutes via abduction (to my side, laterally) and extension (to the rear), I've also used it to effectively target my adductors (inside of thigh, to groin) and hip flexors -- these work in synergy with Glutes to allow as normal as possible movement, range of motion. Whether for physical rehab or just general strengthening / conditioning, with a little research/knowledge, and some creativity, you can use the PRO in movements that develop all muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the legs as well – including quads, hamstrings, ITB, and TFL… (1) While my hamstrings receive work when doing Gluteal movements and DB RDLs, I wasn’t able to replicate the feel of working the leg “bicep” as with the leg curls I performed prior to my accident/trauma that caused my hips to deteriorate. With the PRO I can do a standing leg curl where I can concentrate solely on the hamstring. It allows me to do a very strict movement that doesn't require a potentially risky level of resistance for a maximal effect – a key to avoiding injury at a time when I am again excited about being very active. It's encouraging / motivational to feel a movement exactly where it's intended to work. (2) Using the PRO I lie down on my back and using cable machine or resistance bands I pull my knees toward my chest while keeping my lower back pressed flat against the floor. This really isolates both my hip flexors and lower abdominals.While the PRO is a simple accessory, it can be a foundational part of an overall program for both men and women -- designed to strengthen / stabilize their core, pelvic floor, and hips as they age. A resource such as the PRO that allows you to work more specifically, efficiently to build or regain conditioning, ease of movement, and quality of life -- deserves acknowledgement.Excellent Customer Service - I mistakenly ordered female sizing. I contacted IPR Fitness and spoke directly with the owner, who immediately facilitated an exchange for my correct size.

I did my research on these as I was going to order another brand but it sold out, a suggested similar product was recommended by Amazon and I’m glad it did! These are a great product. My gym members are loving them

I've had the glue kickback pro for over two years now and they've been some of the best pieces fitness equipment that I've bought. They fit very comfortably and snug on my foot and around my shoe. Never have any issues with the product slipping around on my foot. Having it fit around my foot is so much better as far as a the amount of pressure/tension it puts on my glutes compared to using standard ankle straps which tend to slide around using higher amounts of weight. Connecting the straps to a weighted cable machine, I have been able to reach personal records of 70 lbs for kickbacks. I never have any fears of them breaking or failing to hold up when I do my exercises. Happy to own a couple of these!
