Let customers speak for us
I really like how affordable this calf machine is. Much better than spending $5k+ for one that you see in the gym. To be honest I definitely think these machines could be put in commercial gyms considering how well it is built. It is extremely solid, but at the same time it is easy to move around. I like the abilty to use Olympic weight plates and the smaller 25mm plates as these are the ones I have at home. I have definitely seen an improvement in my strength and the size of my calves.
This calf machine has been great in rehabbing my ankle stability and strength after some recent injuries playing basketball and running. I haven’t seen anything similar to the Calf Builder and thought this would be great for training my calves in a different way. It turns out that this is now my favourite way to train calves because I can actually isolate them separately from my quads.
As someone who has always struggled to target my calves effectively, the Calf Builder has been a game changer. The motion mimics pressing a car accelerator. It feels so natural yet so effective for isolating the calf muscles. The smooth pulley system and adjustable weight shaft height make it easy to change in between short range or full range of motion. I can feel the burn within just a few sets.
After a few weeks of using it, my calves are noticeably stronger and more defined. It’s compact and easy to set up, perfect for my home gym. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about developing their calf muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Calf Builder is a compact calf-strengthening machine designed to help you target and train your calves safely and effectively. Unlike traditional machines, it uses a smooth pulley mechanism that mimics the natural motion of a car pedal, providing a comfortable and controlled workout for the calf muscles.
The Calf Builder’s unique mechanical design mimics a pedal push, allowing you to perform a single, controlled motion instead of the compound movement involved in traditional calf raises. This design reduces the need for foot bending and helps target the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles while seated, supporting a controlled and focused calf workout.
Unlike traditional machines, the Calf Builder uses a smooth pulley mechanism that mimics the natural motion of a car pedal, shifting emphasis from the feet to the calves for more focused training. Unlike standing calf machines, it reduces the need for balance and stabilisation, allowing users to target the calves safely and with controlled movement.
Its smooth, controlled motion may help reduce joint strain and supports a comfortable, focused calf workout. The design encourages consistent tension in the calves during training, helping users engage the muscles throughout the movement.
Ballistic capacity refers to the Achilles tendon’s ability to stretch and recoil quickly, which can sometimes reduce calf muscle engagement. The Calf Builder’s controlled motion helps maintain muscle focus throughout each repetition.
When first beginning to use the calf builder it is imperative to focus on slow and controlled reps and a full range of motion. It is recommended to start with a light weight to allow your ankles and calves to adapt to the unique motion of the Calf Builder. Once you get comfortable, you can increase the weight and intensity.
Suggested training guidelines (may help support your goals):
For Strength & Size: 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps, 2-3 times per week.
For Endurance & Mobility: 4-5 sets of 15-25 reps, 3-4 times per week.
For Rehab & Prehab: 3-4 sets of 10-20 reps, 2-3 times per week (light to moderate weight)
The Calf Builder uses a smooth pulley mechanism to provide consistent resistance throughout the range of motion, helping users maintain tension on the calf muscles. In contrast, spring-based systems often concentrate tension at the bottom of the movement, which can create uneven resistance. The pulley system is designed to support controlled, steady engagement of the calves during each repetition.
The Calf Builder is built to last, made with heavy duty steel. It weighs only 17kg and has a small footprint of 70cm x 46cm, making it perfect for any home or commercial gym. 80kg can be added to the interchangeable shaft that can be used with both Standard (25mm) or Olympic (50mm) weight plates.
