A standalone belt squat machine is one of the best pieces of equipment you can put in a home gym. It's also one of the most expensive, and the most space-hungry.

The Kodiak changes that math entirely.

If you already have a half-rack functional trainer, you already have most of what you need. The Kodiak plugs into that existing setup, routing your rack's cable down through a floor-level pulley foot that sits in front of the unit. The load comes from directly below your hips, exactly the way a commercial belt squat machine delivers it, without adding a second machine to your gym.

Because the Kodiak works within your rack's existing cable system, the felt load matches whatever pulley ratio your functional trainer already runs. Run a 2:1 system and your belt squat runs 2:1. Need more resistance? The Kodiak is compatible with the El Toro Dual Mounted Weight Horns, which keep the added load centered and prevent any dragging along the guide rods.

The handlebar adjusts on the uprights just like a J cup, so you can set your grip height to match your squat depth and stance. The included belt has three attachment positions built in to fit a range of athletes. The concrete anchor bolts the foot to the floor so nothing shifts mid-set.

Setup requires cutting the cable to length during installation. Cable cutters are included.
