Element - CARBON BLACK 9016 Inner / Outer Thigh 170lbs with Dark Shroud

Build stronger hips, glutes and thighs with the Element CARBON BLACK 9016 Inner / Outer Thigh Machine. This commercial-grade, dual-function strength machine combines hip abduction and hip adduction exercises into one space-efficient station, allowing users to target both the inner and outer thigh muscles without moving between separate machines.

Equipped with a 170 lb selectorized weight stack, the CARBON BLACK 9016 makes resistance adjustments quick and easy for users of different strength and experience levels. The enclosed dark weight-stack shroud creates a clean, premium appearance while helping separate users from the moving weight stack.

Designed for commercial gyms, fitness centres, condominium gyms, hotels, schools, corporate fitness facilities and premium home gyms, the CARBON BLACK 9016 is an excellent addition to any complete lower-body strength training circuit.

Two Exercises in One Machine

The Element CARBON BLACK 9016 performs two important lower-body exercises from the same seated position:

Hip Abduction – Outer Thigh

The hip abduction exercise involves pressing the legs outward against resistance. It is commonly used to strengthen the outer hip, glute and thigh area and can help develop lower-body strength and hip stability.

Hip Adduction – Inner Thigh

The hip adduction exercise involves bringing the legs inward against resistance. This movement primarily focuses on the muscles of the inner thigh and is commonly included in lower-body and athletic strength programs.

By combining both movements into one machine, the CARBON BLACK 9016 provides a practical way to train opposing muscle groups while reducing the amount of floor space required.

Why Choose an Inner / Outer Thigh Machine?

A dedicated inner and outer thigh machine, also commonly referred to as a hip abductor and adductor machine, gives users a controlled way to add resistance to lateral hip movements that can be difficult to isolate with traditional strength equipment.

The CARBON BLACK 9016 combines both exercises into one station, making it an efficient choice for facilities looking to offer comprehensive lower-body training while maximizing available floor space.

It can complement other commercial leg equipment including leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, glute machines, functional trainers and squat stations to create a more complete lower-body strength area.
