Plate loaded
The TRUE PLS-1000 is the hack squat in TRUE Fitness’s Palladium plate-loaded line, designed for stability and comfort. The low-profile frame makes entry and exit easy, the ergonomic seat and low back support shift the force to the hips and reduce strain on the lower back and shoulders, the oversized non-skid foot platform allows versatile foot positioning, and four weight-storage posts keep plates on the machine.
Who is this machine for?
The PLS-1000 suits commercial gyms, strength and athletic facilities, bodybuilding clubs and premium home gyms in India that want members to squat heavy through a guided path with the back supported and the load carried on the hips.
Muscles worked and key exercises
The hack squat targets the quadriceps with the glutes and hamstrings assisting; feet placed high and wide bring in the glutes and adductors, and rising onto the toes at the top trains the calves. The back pad takes the load so the spine is not compressed as in a barbell squat.
Build quality and adjustment
The back pad offloads weight against the hips rather than the spine and supports the user through the range, the frame is low profile, the platform is oversized with a non-skid surface, the back pad adjusts through four positions, and the plate horns take standard Olympic plates with four storage posts.
Like every Palladium machine, it is TRUE’s premium plate-loaded design: unilateral lever arms that converge or diverge along the natural arc of the joint, gas-assisted seat adjustment, built-in weight-storage posts, an instruction placard and a height-adjustment guide, finished in matte-black powder coat with custom frame colours and 18 upholstery options. Resistance comes from the Olympic plates the facility already owns. TRUE backs the frame and welds for 10 years with 5 years on bearings, bushings and pulleys.
Space and installation
The PLS-1000 measures 193 × 180 × 124 cm (76" × 71" × 49") (L × W × H). The PLS-1000 measures 193 × 180 × 124 cm (L × W × H). Allow about 0.8 m clear on each side for loading plates and 0.6 m at the platform. No power is needed. Luxe Fitness delivers, assembles and levels the machine; plates are chosen separately.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the upholstery and grips after each session and unload plates between users. Check the pivot bearings, gas cylinders, plate horns and lock-outs monthly and tighten frame bolts quarterly. Book a service visit if any pivot develops play or noise.

Frequently asked questions
Is a hack squat better than a barbell squat?
It is safer for members who lack the mobility or a spotter for free squats, and it isolates the quads more; barbell squats still train the core and balance. Many gyms place both.
What is the difference between the TRUE PLS-1000 and PLS-1400?
The PLS-1000 is a hack squat with a linear guided path; the PLS-1400 is a pendulum squat whose arc changes the resistance curve through the movement.
What warranty does the TRUE PLS-1000 have in India?
