Body-Solid GIOT Inner and Outer Thigh Attachment
The GIOT adds a seated hip abductor and adductor station to a Body-Solid G Series home gym. Both movements run from the same seat with no cable change, so you work the outside of the hips and the inside of the thighs in one setup.
Intended use: home and light commercial
Why train hips on a machine?
Because the muscles that move your leg sideways are hard to load any other way. Bands give you resistance that changes through the range. Cable work off a low pulley means standing on one leg and fighting for balance instead of training the hip. A seated station takes balance out of it and lets you actually load the muscle.
That matters beyond looks. Weak hip abductors show up as knee pain, poor single leg stability and a squat that caves inward. This is the station most home gyms leave out and most owners eventually wish they had.
What can you adjust?
Five range of motion settings, so you can start narrow while you build strength and open it up as you get more mobile. The back pad is adjustable and has real lumbar support, which is what keeps you from rounding your lower back when the weight gets heavy. The knee pads swivel to follow your legs rather than dragging against them.
Which gyms does it fit?
The GIOT mounts to the Body-Solid G2B, G3S, G4I, G5S, G6B, G7.1, G9S and G10B. It is a side mounted attachment, and most G Series frames have one side mounting position, so it takes the place of a leg press rather than sitting alongside one.
Frequently asked questions
How much room does it need?
The attachment is 55.1 in. long, 75.3 in. wide and 33.5 in. tall, and it hangs off one side of the gym. Plan on about 6 more feet of clear floor on that side. The width is the number that surprises people, because the knee pads swing out well past the frame.
Can I have this and the leg press?
On most G Series frames, no. There is one side mounting position, so you pick one. If lower body pressing matters more to you than hip work, buy the leg press instead.
Does it need its own weight stack?
No. It runs off the stack already in your gym, and there is no cable to move when you switch from abduction to adduction.
How heavy is it and how does it ship?
117 lb., by freight, curbside. If it ships with a gym it arrives on the same delivery.
Is it easier to install with the gym or after?
With the gym. The mounting bolts are far easier to reach before everything else is torqued down.

Bottom line: The station that fixes the gap most home gyms have at the hips, as long as you are not giving up a leg press to get it.
