Benefits of Pendulum Squats
Struggling with lower back pain, knee discomfort, or recovering from injury? This pendulum squat machine offers a powerful alternative to traditional squats—without the joint stress.
Engineered to redirect load away from the spine and knees, this machine allows you to fully target your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves through a deep, controlled range of motion—without needing excessive weight. Whether you're chasing hypertrophy, strength gains, or training around injuries, the PS01 delivers unmatched lower-body stimulus with joint-friendly biomechanics.
By locking your back and shoulders into a supported position, the pendulum squat removes axial loading, giving your spine a break while still letting your legs do the heavy lifting. The fixed range of motion makes it easier to control tempo, maintain tension, and dial in your form for safe and effective training.
Upgraded Structure for Enhanced Durability
- Enhanced Weld Strength
We've optimized the welding process at the key stress point where the backrest support connects, improving both load tolerance and fatigue resistance during repeated use. - Reinforcement Plate Added
A precision-cut reinforcement plate has been integrated into the backrest mounting area, significantly boosting structural integrity under dynamic movement.

Customer Reviews
I’m 6’4, 296 lbs and was a D1 Shotputter throughout college and an athlete overall since I was 14/15 yrs old. With that many years of rigorous training and lifting I’ve walked away from athletics with 3 herniated disc. This limited my Olympic lifts and squat tremendously and for years I felt like nothing worked. I did the leg press and saw no real results and exercises like hack squat would hurt my knees and lower back. Fortunately I came across a random YouTube video and went down a rabbit hole seeking a pendulum squat machine. Due to the price point I went with the GMWD version and it’s been a love affair since this thing make my glutes pop like nothing I’ve felt in years due to my disc limiting my exercise variations. I had to wait about 15 days for it to be back in stock at there Georgia warehouse instead of having it shipped from California to avoid the equipment getting damaged but it was worth the wait. I now look forward to leg days again!!
Clean, small footprint, all black. Great for the price—nothing else competes unless you're spending 3–5x more. Bearings have grease ports. Assembly is doable solo with an impact driver but the pendulum and springs might need some help. The hardware was on labeled cardboard which is a relief at this price point and made assembly very straightforward. Footplate and foot angle takes some trial and error, but range of motion is smooth (I’m just over 6’ with no issues). Labeled hardware and full-size manual were a nice touch. Started with no additional weight to figure out angles. I have no complaints given the price and size and would buy it again.
First thing is that it was very straightforward directions and took about an 1 hour 15min to get it working with 2 people. Second Wow works smooth and very easy on the back & shoulder area and even on my old knees. 😀 Last thing I really felt my legs with lighter weight and can easily justify the space (small studio) which is not that much compared to other pendulums. I must also mention how responsive & helpful customer service was!!! Excellent company. 2nd machine i have purchased from them
I’ve had the pendulum for almost a month now and we love it, you don’t have to load it with 4+ plates to get to failure around 8-10 reps. 10/10.
FAQ
What makes your pendulum squat Machine different from other squat machines?
The GMWD Pendulum Squat Machine features a natural movement pattern that mimics a more natural squatting motion. It allows for a more upright torso position and greater freedom of movement, helping users focus on their quadriceps and glutes while minimizing stress on the lower back.
How does the machine's versatility benefit my workout?
The GMWD Pendulum Squat Machine offers adjustable foot placement and stance width, which allows for targeted muscle activation and accommodates individual biomechanics and preferences. This versatility helps in targeting different muscle groups, including the quadriceps, glutes, adductors, and calves.
What is the purpose of the counterbalance system?
The spring counterbalance system in the GMWD Pendulum Squat Machine provides easier resistance at the bottom of the squat (where you’re typically weakest) and harder resistance at the top (where you’re strongest). This unique design helps you maintain proper form and allows for a more effective workout throughout the entire range of motion.
Is the machine safe to use?
Yes! The machine is equipped with a safety stopper at the bottom to prevent accidents if you can’t complete a rep. If you reach failure, you can squat down until the machine makes contact with the safety stopper, allowing you to safely exit the machine without the need for a spotter. There are 5 adjustable safety stopper positions, and the machine has a safety height range of 18” - 23.6”.
Can I use heavy weights with the pendulum squat Machine?
Yes! The GMWD Pendulum Squat Machine can handle a large amount of weight, making it suitable for users who want to progressively overload their leg muscles. The machine is plate-loaded, meaning you can add as much weight as you need for your workout.
