Rank #9 in Best Leg Extension Machine 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Capacity Claims That Don't Add Up
SPORTNOW Seated Plate Loaded Leg Extension Trainer
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
SPORTNOW's Seated Leg Extension Machine is the ninth entry in this guide, priced at £75.99 and rated 4.5 out of 5 from 16 ratings. It is a plate-loaded home machine — the listing says the dual Olympic weight posts take both 1-inch and 2-inch plates — with a stated item weight of 19 kg and item dimensions of 59 x 122 x 106 cm (D x W x H). Model number A91-055, six months warranty against manufacturer defects, and a Best Sellers Rank of 6 in Leg Machines.
The number that matters here behaves differently from the three listings that carry the big claims. The SPORTNOW page says the powder-coated steel frame is "built to hold up to 200 kg" in the bullet points, and the specification table says "Tension Supported: 200 kg". On this listing the marketing line and the spec sheet agree with each other. What does not agree is what the machine is: the title sells a seated leg extension machine for hips and the lower body, while four of the five bullets describe calf work — "build stronger, more powerful calves", a foot platform that spares the ball of the foot, a wide textured foot brace bar — and one bullet refers to "the preacher curl bench machine". The rating breakdown is the other loose number: next to "4.5 out of 5 stars (16)", the page shows 7, 16 and 77 against one, four and five stars, figures that cannot be counts of 16 ratings and read as percentages instead. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the SPORTNOW machine; we have not tested it ourselves.
