I bought this bench because I needed something sturdy and compact for my home workouts, and it’s turned out to be a great addition. Putting it together was easy, and once assembled, the whole thing feels solid—much sturdier than a lot of other benches I’ve used in the past. The design just makes sense; there’s enough padding to be comfortable, but it’s firm enough for heavy lifting, and the adjustable features work smoothly without any wobble.One thing that surprised me is how easily I can tuck it away when I’m not using it, which is huge if you’re working with limited space like I am. I actually had a small hiccup with one of the parts right before setting it up, but reaching out to customer service was simple and they handled it quickly. They sent a replacement and I had it within four days—which is honestly faster than I expected. If you need a reliable, versatile bench for your home workouts, I definitely recommend this one. It’s held up strong and hasn’t given me any trouble, and the company seems to really care about their customers. Read more
Very well thought out piece of equipment. These instructions were the best I've ever seen. So well organized you'd have to intentionally do it wrong. Bench adjusts for my 4"11 frame to my Hubs'. Sturdy with absolutely no give in the frame. Been using it daily and it's a great piece of equipment esp for the price. Highly recommend. Read more
The instructional manual was HORRIBLE. The manual which hardware to use BUT lacked PICTURES of the actual bench assembly!! Basically you had blank pages with hardware numbers and lines connecting to NOTHING! Luckily, I was able to find a similar bench on their website and piece everything together, but if you're not good at DIY stuff, then you might pass on this bench. The assembly wasn't hard once I tracked down a manual with ACTUAL PICTURES. As for bench quality. I do like it. The bench seems solid, well-built, and versatile for lots of exercises. I'm going to take 1 star off for a nightmare of an instruction manual though. I WANT to take off 2 stars for that annoyance, but the bench really is a nice setup. Read more
This is a great workout bench and the support team is even better. First, when the package arrives, be very careful where you cut into the box, because if you cut down the center with a long blade, you might hit the back pad. I read that on an earlier post and was careful. Once the box is open it is easy to take inventory of all the parts. The hardware (nuts, bolts, etc.) is encased in plastic and labeled, making it super easy to account for all the parts and to put the bench together. All the required tools are included, although I preferred to use my own socket wrenches (metric). The instructions are easy to follow. I actually had fun building it. Once built, the bench is solid and has a lot of settings to allow you to do a complete workout of most muscle groups Being a Flat, Incline and Decline (FID) bench, it allows you to work different parts of each muscle group (e.g. upper and lower pecs) It is also great for doing setups, hyper extensions and Roman Chair workouts. The package also includes a nice chart that you can hang on the wall. It shows many of the various workouts you can do with this bench. Now for their support: First, the online documentation is great. They have charts of workouts using this bench as well as charts for general workouts with dumbbells without the bench. They also have an online booklet showing exercises for each muscle group. After building the bench, my wife saw a wrinkle on the back pad and she was worried that it might wear through the covering over time. I sent a comment with a picture of the wrinkle to the company website. At 2:30 AM Pacific time the following morning (the company and I are both in California), they had already printed a USPS shipping label for a replacement back pad. They followed up with emails. I had a great email exchange with Isabel. I give their support team a ten out of five rating. Read more

This bench has changed my workout. No more DIY contraptions. The bench is versatile and durable. The design ensures it can hold You and your weights without fear of collapse. I cannot speak to the 1,000 lbs claim made in the product details, but I can say that it doesn’t sag, bend, or deflect in any way when I use it (I’m 170 lbs). I thought the preacher curl piece would get in the way but it’s easily removed. The unit has wheels to make it easy to move around your space. The entire bench is lightweight so no one will struggle to move it. Read more
