RitFit Launches Panther Machine to Bring Hip Training Home
For most home gym enthusiasts, the hip abductor and adductor machine is the one piece of equipment perpetually occupied at the local fitness center. RitFit is now looking to change that dynamic with the release of the Panther, a compact, commercial-grade station designed specifically for residential use.
Engineered for a variety of body types, the frame accommodates users ranging from 5-foot-1 to 6-foot-3. The design features 360-degree rotating knee pads to minimize friction and eight-position angle adjustments, allowing for a personalized range of motion. Available in matte black or a signature pink finish, the unit retails for $1,149.99 through the company’s website, marking a push to bring professional-grade lower-body isolation into the home environment.
