Big Performance in a Compact Design

When it comes to building a complete training space, finding the right balance of power, versatility, and efficiency is key. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the HOIST® H8 Functional Trainer—a game-changing addition to our lineup that delivers a full spectrum of training options in a sleek, corner-friendly footprint.

Built for Strength, Performance, and Everyday Fitness

The H8 is engineered for those who want it all: a compact solution without compromise. Whether you’re setting up your home gym or outfitting a light commercial space, the H8 brings together multiple training stations and our industry-leading cable technology into one cohesive design.

At the heart of the H8 are HOIST’s patented EZG™ (EZ Glide) rotating columns, featuring a single-handed adjustment mechanism that allows users to reposition pulleys effortlessly through 28 independent height settings per column. Combined with 180° column rotation, the EZG™ system ensures seamless, efficient transitions between exercises—helping you focus on form, not setup.

Effortless Accessory Changes

The H8 also features HOIST® Quick Release one-handed accessory connectors on the cable columns, lat pulldown, and low row stations. These allow for rapid attachment changes without fumbling or downtime—so you can switch from a lat pulldown to a curl bar or strap handle in seconds. Designed to work in perfect harmony with our HOIST® Fitness accessories, these connectors make every workout faster, smoother, and more intuitive.

All-in-One Efficiency

What sets the H8 apart is its integration of multiple stations in one compact design:

• Smith Machine – Train with safety and precision, whether you’re pressing, squatting, or pulling.

• Dual Lat Pulldown & Low Row Stations – Target your lats, back, and posterior chain from every angle.

• Chin-Up Bars with Rock-Climbing Grips – Challenge grip strength and add variety to your pull-up routine.

• Central Storage & Built-In Weight Horns – Keep your space organized and efficient.

The split-weight cabling system provides extended cable travel, delivering smooth, consistent resistance whether you’re training unilaterally or bilaterally. With optional weight stack upgrades and a 450 lb max capacity, the H8 grows with your goals.

Thoughtful Details for a Better Experience

From the integrated phone/tablet rack to the water bottle holder and dedicated hooks for attachments, the H8 is built for convenience as much as performance. Every feature is designed to save space, streamline your training, and keep your focus where it belongs—on results.
